Peanut butter made with the caramelo and charapotó varieties applying different proportions of sunflower acceptance

Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine the physicochemical, microbiological and organoleptic effects produced by the percentages of sunflower oil and peanut varieties in obtaining a cream in the Manatos microenterprise. The experiment led to a completely randomized design in a two-factor arrangement A * B + 1 (Schullo peanut butter). Factor A. Variety of peanuts, Caramel and Charapotó; Factor B: Oil at 2.5%, 5% and 7.5%, resulting in 7 treatments and 21 experimental units of 250 g. The physicochemical parameters (percentage of humidity, sodium chloride, acidity and fat), microbiological parameters (count of molds and yeasts and E. coli) were studied and in the sensory analysis the degree of acceptability was evaluated by 75 untrained judges. The physicochemical results showed that the treatments in fat content showed significant statistical differences, on the other hand, the results in sodium chloride, humidity, acidity in all treatments comply with the requirements of the NTE INEN 276 standard. The microbiological results all The treatments present absences in molds and yeasts. In the organoleptic attributes evaluated, the tasters consider the treatments T1 (caramel peanuts and 2.5% sunflower oil) and T4 (Charapotó peanuts and 2.5% sunflower oil) to have the greatest acceptability. With the results obtained, it can be established that the variety of peanut does not influence the acceptability for obtaining a cream.
