Abstract

Obtaining beers with new aroma and flavor tread proposed a new way with lush beers using special ingredients such as fruits, in order to obtain the characteristic sensory attributes of the products obtained. The tamarind is a raw material that has a large amount of organic acids, soluble solids and fermentable carbohydrates. This study aimed to produce craft beers Saison Ale type using tamarind as a flavoring agent and flavor. sensorially three samples were analyzed beers prepared with high (4.5 g/L), medium (3 g/L) and low (1.5 g/L) tamarind content by handmade process. The formulations were analyzed for pH, alcohol content (% v / v) and total acidity and volatile (CH3COOH g / 100 ml beer). The use of tamarind concentrations from 1.5 to 4.5 g/L resulted in pH values from 3.6 to 3.86, total acidity of 0.32 to 0.59 and to obtain a high alcohol content beers (7.40, 7.43 and 7.48% v / v). Sensory analysis to verify the preference and acceptance was conducted with 100 untrained panelists, three beers were well evaluated for acceptability index the attributes of flavor, aroma and color (90.78% - 92.3%), except beer flavor attribute with 4.5 g/L of tamarind which was 75.1%. Regarding intention to purchase 89.6% and 80.2% respectively of the tasters would buy the beers with 1.5 and 3 g/L of tamarind. The results show the feasibility of obtaining differentiated tamarind beer still not produced by the breweries.
