Abstract

Plant-based beverages are a group of isolated or mixed substances derived from the pulp or other parts of plants, with or without the addition of other ingredients, intended for consumption. Therefore, combining these ingredients can produce a highly nutritious and functional product, also benefiting vegetarians, vegans and dietary restrictions groups. The objective was to produce fermented plant-based beverages with varying percentages of jabuticaba, chickpea, and oat extracts, adding value to native Brazilian fruits and reducing environmental waste. The formulations were characterized through physicochemical analysis and acceptability testing using the Hedonic Scale and purchase intention test. According to the physicochemical analysis results, the formulations exhibited significant differences in color, soluble solids, acidity, pH, and viscosity. To determine the ideal formulation, sensory analysis showed better results for the one with the highest concentration of jabuticaba juice (40%), achieving hedonic averages of 6 (slightly liked) for most attributes, with the exception of acidic taste, which averaged 5.67 (between "indifferent" and "slightly liked"). The product's good acceptance is reinforced, but adjustments to ingredient concentrations are necessary for superior performance in terms of purchase intention.
