Innovation strategies of functional plant milk production based on hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds

Abstract

The technology of functional plant-milk has been developed based on hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds of local origin. As a result of physicochemical studies of the developed plant milk, it was revealed that hemp seed milk contains a large amount of flavones, in particular quercetin, cyanidin and epicatechin. It was found that the protein content in such milk is 8 times higher than in classic oat or rice milk, more precisely 4,68 g / 100 g. This amount is similar to the protein content of cow's milk. It was determined that the acidity level, as well as other quality indicators are in accordance with the regulatory documents permissible limits - 19 ± 1⁰T, and pH - 6.17 ± 0.01. It was found that the organoleptic characteristics of plant milk based on hemp seeds were highly appreciated by adherents of vegan nutrition.
