Abstract

The whey beverages are products based on whey but are subject to the inclusion of other
components in the formulation, such as flaxseed, a rich source of dietary fiber. The use of acerola pulp is an
interesting option, considering the significant production of this fruit in Brazil and its good acceptance. The
present study aimed to use an experimental design for the development of formulations of fermented whey
beverages, varying the concentrations of acerola pulp and golden flaxseed flour. The results showed that
acerola is a good source of carotenoids (13.48g -carotene/g of pulp) and vitamin C (948.16mg/100g of pulp)
because there were no significant losses in their processing. Taking into account the parameters
analyzed in the whey beverages, it was concluded that the center points of the design (30% acerola and
8% flaxseed) had the most suitable formulations as they had satisfactory levels of bioactive compounds and
fiber (4.57-5.74g fiber/100g sample) in addition to consumer acceptance.

Practical ApplicationsThis work is new and original and not under consideration elsewhere. The manuscript
is significant because it demonstrates the presence of carotenoids and vitamin C in high levels in whey
beverages due to the presence of acerola pulp and golden flaxseed flour.
