Effects of adding acerola residue on yogurt characteristics

The industrial processing of acerola generates a large amount of waste which is generally discarded or underused, causing losses of raw materials and energy, as well as environmental impact. As this agro-industrial waste is rich in antioxidant compounds, high levels of vitamin C and other bioactive compounds, it can be put to better use. Therefore, this research aimed to make use of the acerola residue by adding it to a yogurt, and to evaluate the effects of this residue on the yogurt's physicochemical and textural characteristics.
