Brazil Nut Powdered Milk: Aminoacid Profile
نویسندگان
چکیده
Appreciated for its exotic flavor and considered a nutrient-rich food, Brazil nut is composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids and high biological value proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of amino acids in Brazil nut powdered milk using an HPLC system. The Brazil nut powdered milk was featured and the aminoacid profile was evaluated. The amino acids values of glutamic acid (34.92), serine (7.02), glycine (7.89), arginine (27.26), valine (8.68), methionine (12.36) and leucine (12.82) were higher than soymilk. In conclusion, the aminoacid profile revealed the Brazil nut powdered milk as a source of non-dairy protein, especially to vegan and to healthier consumer’s diet. This approach provides an alternative product instead soymilk to consumers allergic to bovine milk, but further studies are necessary to evaluate their functional properties in health.
