Production of instant beverages containing hydrolyzed collagen peptides and determination of some properties

In this study, an alternative to the hydrolyzed collagen consumables, the new functional products usable in hot chocolate and coffee expenditures were investigated. Various experiments were applied and conclusions were made to determine the physical and chemical properties of the coffee and hot chocolate that stimulate pleasure sensory on humans. The methodology includes analysis with extensive examination on the substances with different rates as well as augmenting the hydrolyzed collagen to the formula. Cocoa powder, sugar, xanthan gum, hydrolyzed collagen and β-glucan were some of the admixturez tested on hot chocolate. For the coffee, hydrolyzed collagen and β-glucan were used. Moisture ratio, water activity, hygroscopicity, color, density and sensory properties were analyzed in the powder sample mixtures produced. For each sample, as part of the sensory analysis, 50 mL of hot milk in hot chocolate; 50 ml of hot water is used for coffee. The sensory and visual analysis were conducted on instant products' properties, appearance and color, consistency, taste, smell and general taste parameters. As a result, the best powder drink mix was used in terms of the component ratios and sensory properties of hot chocolate and coffee mixtures. According to the results of sensory analysis, it was determined that the inclusion of collagen and β-glucan in powder formulations did not adversely affect it. Consumption of collagen hydrolyzate with both hot chocolate and coffee formulations was found to be acceptable.
