Muffins with Tannat Grape Pomace: A Sustainable Approach to Value-Added Foods
An abundant byproduct of the Uruguayan winemaking industry, Tannat grape pomace (TGP), has a unique profile of phenolic compounds, making it a great candidate as an ingredient in the formulation of healthy and sustainable foods.

| description | An abundant byproduct of the Uruguayan winemaking industry, Tannat grape pomace (TGP), has a unique profile of phenolic compounds, making it a great candidate as an ingredient in the formulation of healthy and sustainable foods. The addition of TGP and sweetener to a muffin formulation may represent a challenge regarding technological properties. In this work, the objective was to develop potential functional muffins with the nutritional claims of “source of/high in fiber” and “no added sugars”, by incorporating TGP as a source of fiber and bioactive compounds and stevia as a sweetener. For this purpose, a factorial experimental design with central points was assessed by varying TGP and sweetener contents. Color was measured in the muffins by a CieLab system, and texture parameters (hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness) were obtained by a texture analyzer. The antioxidant capacity was also assessed by total phenol content (TPC by Folin reaction), ABTS, and ORAC-FL methods. Regarding color parameters, the main results showed lower L values for the muffins with higher TGP content (34.4–35.9, <i>p</i> < 0.05). As for texture parameters, lower hardness values (3170–3655 N) were displayed by muffins with higher TGP content (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Elasticity showed no significant differences between the samples (0.773–0.873), with the exception of one of the formulations with higher TGP content. Cohesiveness values ranged between 0.210 and 0.374. Gumminess and chewiness values were lower for the muffin formulation with higher TGP and stevia contents (694 ± 202 N and 538 ± 182 N). Moreover, antioxidant capacity showed increased TPC values for muffins with higher TGP content when compared to the control muffin (without TGP). Similarly, ABTS and ORAC-FL values were higher for the muffins with higher TGP content (15.26–15.59 and 23.92–25.56 µmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g samples, respectively). In conclusion, TGP muffins represent a sustainable food with adequate technological properties and enhanced nutritional properties, presenting potential to promote health. |
