Resumen
Objective: The measurement of the total antioxidant capacity and total phenols of a non-dairy functional drink based on passion fruit peel and chia was analyzed. Methodology: the preparation of the functional non-dairy drink of passion fruit and chia peels, were performed in triplicate. The juices were mixed with water (80:20, 90:10 and 70:30 v/v). All experiments were performed in triplicate. Version 25 of the SPSS program was used to determine the difference between the means by the unidirectional ANOVA test and the univariate test for proximal composition, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by DPPH. Results: The means were compared using Duncan’s test at (p < 0.05). Treatment 3 (T3: BF90%: A10%, Ch45g) showed the highest protein content (0.48%), being the highest treatment in this aspect. The humidity in T3 was the lowest among the treatments (96.20%), which could improve the stability of the product. T3 had the lowest fat content (0.06%), and the ash content was the highest (0.25%), indicating a higher concentration of minerals. T3 presented the highest carbohydrate content (2.4278%), which can influence the energy and taste of the product. Conclusion: Treatment 3 (T3: BF90%: A10%, Ch45g) stood out as the most promising in the formulation of a non-dairy functional beverage, surpassing the other treatments in several key aspects. Firstly, its protein content, which reached 0.48%, positions it as the treatment richest in this essential nutrient. Proteins are fundamental for tissue growth and repair, and their higher proportion in T3 enhances the nutritional value of this formulation, making it particularly attractive to consumers looking to improve their protein intake in their daily diet.
