Smoothies are fruit- and/or vegetable-based products in form of beverages that are typically semi-liquid, thick in consistency, and mainly consist of purees and juices. Other ingredients, such as yogurt, milk, ice cream, sugar, honey, or simply water may also be added. The present study aimed to elaborate smoothie products based on bananas, pumpkins, and purple carrots. These fruits and vegetables were chosen due to their high bioactive compounds content, potential health benefits, and availability to industry. Five smoothie formulations were produced and analyzed for pH, soluble solids, total phenolic content, anthocyanins, carotenoids, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, instrumental color, and sensory features. From the analysis, the result showed that the obtained smoothies were a good source of total phenolic content (39.1 to 55.9 mg/100 g) and anthocyanin (7.1 to 11.1 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside/100 g), and that they possessed high antioxidant activity (4.3 to 6.2 µM Trolox/g). From sensory evaluation, all the produced smoothies were desirable, but the formulations with banana were scored higher compared to the pumpkin. In conclusion, smoothies composed of pumpkin, banana, and purple carrot can be a good new food product that incorporates nutritional compounds into the human diet.
思慕雪是一种以水果和(或)蔬菜为基础的饮料产品,通常呈半液态,浓稠度较高,主要由果泥和果汁组成。其他成分,如酸奶、牛奶、冰淇淋、糖、蜂蜜或简单的水,也可能会被添加。本研究旨在以香蕉、南瓜和紫胡萝卜为基础制作思慕雪产品。这些水果和蔬菜因其富含生物活性化合物、具有潜在的健康益处且易于在工业中获取而被选中。制作了五种思慕雪配方并对其 pH 值、可溶性固形物、总酚含量、花青素、类胡萝卜素、维生素 C、抗氧化活性、仪器颜色和感官特征进行了分析。分析结果表明,所获得的思慕雪是总酚含量(39.1 至 55.9 mg/100 g)和花青素(7.1 至 11.1 mg 矢车菊素-3-葡萄糖苷/100 g)的良好来源,并且具有高抗氧化活性(4.3 至 6.2 µM Trolox/g)。从感官评价来看,所有生产的思慕雪都令人满意,但与南瓜配方相比,香蕉配方的得分更高。总之,由南瓜、香蕉和紫胡萝卜组成的思慕雪可以成为一种将营养化合物融入人类饮食的新型食品。
