Proceso de elaboración de mazamorra de plátano

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate formulations for elaboration of plantain mazamorra, selecting the best according to a panel of acceptance. The plantain mazamorra was prepared considering a procedure at the artisanal level; varying the concentrations of milk and banana in the formulations and the cooking time (15 to 25 minutes). These treatments were evaluated by 100 untrained tasters through a preference test, using a 9-point hedonic scale. The best formulation of plantain mazamorra is formed by a banana and milk concentration of 21% (w/w) and 52% (w/w), respectively, with a cooking time of 25 minutes after boiling. This formulation has a non-Newtonian behavior with thixotropic characteristics.
