DEVELOPMENT OF CHOCOLATE-FLAVORED, PEANUT-SOY BEVERAGE by RASHMI PRAKASH DESHPANDE (Under the Direction of Manjeet Singh Chinnan) ABSTRACT A novel formulation and pilot-plant scale processing protocol was developed for a protein-based, nutritious beverage. Roasted peanut and chocolate flavors were utilized to enhance acceptability and soy flour or soy protein isolate to improve nutritional profile. Extreme vertices, constrained- mixture design for peanut (X1:30.56%-58.70%), soy (X2:28.26%-43.52%), and chocolate syrup (X3:13.04%-25.93%) yielded 28 formulations for sensory evaluation. Commercial chocolate milk was used as a control. Optimization of sensory data was done using response surface methodology. Since control ratings were 6-7, the regions of maximum consumer acceptability for each sensory attribute were ratings ≥ 5.0. Optimum formulations for soy flour were all combinations of 34.1%-45.5% X1, 31.2%-42.9% X2, and 22.4%-24.1% X3; and for soy protein isolate 35.8%-47.6% X1, 31.2%-43.5% X2, and 18.3%-23.6% X3. A formulation with 43.9% peanut, 36.3% soy protein isolate, and 19.8% chocolate syrup had the highest consumer acceptability. Soy protein isolate performed better than soy flour and gave beverage characteristics closer to that of control.

Their love and support is my biggest asset and I am fortunate to have their blessings with me, always! v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I extend sincere thanks to my major professor Dr. Manjeet S. Chinnan for his remarkable guidance, careful attention, and timely encouragement. I thank my committee members Dr. Robert D. Phillips, and Dr. Philip E. Koehler for their valuable input. Special thanks to Ms. Kay McWatters for her methodical guidance and diligent contribution towards successful sensory evaluation of the new product developed. Exploring all the possibilities under their direction and supervision was a great pleasure. I am grateful to the United States Agency for International Development/ Peanut Collaborative Research Support Program (USAID/Peanut CRSP) for their financial support. I would like to thank various companies for the supplies used in my research. I would also like to thank Mr. Glenn Farrell and Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Mantripragada (VJ) for their technical assistance and friendly encouragement throughout my work. I appreciate the cooperation and help provided by Mrs. Sue Ellen McCullough in conducting sensory tests, Dr. F. K. Saalia and Mr. Jerry Davis in statistical data analysis, and all the consumer sensory test panelists from various departments of The University of Georgia, Griffin Campus. Being a part of Engineering Laboratory felt like ‘family away from home’, because of the care and affection of all my friends, especially VJ. I enjoyed the jovial company of my colleagues, Sharon, Srisuwan, Worapong, Nikolina, Dida, Emine, Dharmendra, and Sudeep in making my work easy, yet keeping me motivated. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page
