Project Abstract

Abstract
Tiger nuts have gained popularity in recent years due to their nutritional benefits and versatility in food production. One of the common uses of tiger nuts is in the production of tiger nut milk, a dairy-free alternative that is suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or other dietary restrictions. This research project focused on the production of tiger nut milk using tiger nuts as the main ingredient. The study began with the selection of high-quality tiger nuts, which were washed and soaked in water to soften them. The softened tiger nuts were then blended with water to extract the tiger nut milk. Various formulations were tested to determine the optimal ratio of tiger nuts to water for the production of a creamy and flavorful tiger nut milk. In addition to the basic tiger nut milk formulation, the research also explored the possibility of enhancing the nutritional value and flavor of the milk. This was achieved by incorporating ingredients such as dates, cinnamon, and vanilla during the blending process. These additives not only added flavor to the tiger nut milk but also contributed additional nutrients and health benefits. Furthermore, the study investigated the shelf-life of the tiger nut milk under different storage conditions. Samples of the milk were stored at varying temperatures to assess their stability over time. The results indicated that refrigeration was necessary to maintain the quality of the tiger nut milk and prevent spoilage. Overall, the production of tiger nut milk using tiger nuts proved to be a feasible and rewarding process. The final product was rich and creamy, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor profile. By experimenting with different formulations and additives, the research successfully created a range of tiger nut milk varieties to cater to different preferences and dietary needs. In conclusion, the production of tiger nut milk using tiger nuts offers a nutritious and delicious alternative to traditional dairy milk. With its health benefits, including being rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, tiger nut milk is a valuable addition to the diet of consumers looking for plant-based alternatives. Further research could focus on optimizing the production process and exploring new flavor combinations to expand the market potential of tiger nut milk.
