Valorización del lupino (lupinus mutabilis) y del subproducto de lavado de las semillas, mediante la producción de carne vegetal, sustituto lácteo y extracción de principios bioactivos: desarrollo de un sustituto lácteo a partir del lupino (lupinus mutabilis).

Abstract

The objective of the project aimed to obtain a milk substitute from lupin grain (Lupinus mutabilis) by evaluating the production process, its operating units and the nutrient content of the lupin beverage in relation to cow's milk and soy beverage. The realization of this curricular integration work seeks to develop a substitute for cow's milk and not only meet the needs of consumers who have a different lifestyle, but also for people who suffer from lactose intolerance and require adequate calcium intake, as well as for those seeking a nutritious and healthy alternative. Lupine is a legume that is grown throughout the Ecuadorian highlands and represents an important source of calcium, vegetable protein, vitamins and fiber, which is why lupine drink is an excellent source of nutrients. In order to develop a beverage with high nutritional value, a mixture of ingredients such as lupine, stabilizer (guar gum), vitamin A and vanilla flavoring was used, resulting in a light beverage with a unique smell and taste. The estimated production is 580 liters per day, a total of 580 bottles of lupine beverage with a daily energy consumption of 21.8 Kw-h. Due to the above mentioned, the present work of obtaining a milk substitute based on debittered lupine is considered a viable project in terms of nutrition and machinery.
