Abstract

Present study was aimed to develop a carbonated whey beverage for effective utilization of paneer whey. Lack of efficient utilization of whey makes it as an environmental burden. For the study, whey was obtained from the manufacture of paneer. Lactose in whey was hydrolyzed by Lactase (β – galactosidase) enzyme at a pH of 6.6. Lactose hydrolyzed whey beverage was prepared by mixing sugar (10%), pomegranate peel extract (1, 2, 3 and 4%) and guava leaves extract (1, 2, 3 and 4%) to the hydrolyzed whey. Carbonation was carried out by the injection of CO2. Optimizing the levels of incorporation of pomegranate peel extract and guava leaves extract in carbonated hydrolyzed whey beverage was based on sensory analysis. The hydrolyzed whey beverage with 3% Pomegranate peel extract and 3% Guava leaves extract was more acceptable among all other samples. The physico-chemical analysis such as pH, Acidity (% lactic acid) and Total soluble solids (ºBrix) in the optimized beverage was analyzed and it was found to be 6.54, 0.18 and 18.45 respectively. From the current findings, it is observed that pomegranate peel extract and guava leaves extract can be successfully incorporated into hydrolyzed whey beverage and the developed product is highly acceptable compared with control. This study can be considered as a method for the efficient utilization of the by-products.

Pomegranate peel extract, Guava leaves extract, Hydrolyzed whey, Carbonation, whey beverage

Conclusion

Effective utilization of whey is possible by converting whey in to beverages. It was concluded that hydrolyzed whey can be successfully incorporated with pomegranate peel extract and guava leaves extract with carbonation without altering any physico-chemical and sensory properties. Carbonated whey beverage proves to be an alternative to soft drinks. Hydrolyzed whey beverage is easily acceptable by lactose hydrolyzed people.
