Abstract:
A nutritional meal replacement powder was developed with Brassica rapa L. and quinoa as main raw materials. With sensory score as the evaluation index, the formula of nutritional meal substitute of Brassica rapa L. and quinoa was optimized by single factor and orthogonal tests. The results showed that the optimal formula of the Brassica rapa L. and quinoa nutritional meal substitute was as follows: based on finished products, Brassica rapa L. powder 25%,quinoa powder 20%, milk powder 19%, white granulated sugar 13%, jujube powder 10%, maltodextrin 10%, xanthan gum 2%, and cucumber essence 1%. The nutrient meal substitute prepared with the formula contained 5.9% protein,1.6% fat, 4.8% moisture with a viscosity of 116 mPa·s. It had a delicate taste, harmonious smell, and stable texture.
