NUTriDrinks aims to develop a new generation of innovative instant nut drinks with clear labeling and a source of protein and dietary fiber. The plant-based drinks will be enriched with functional ingredients that serve as flavor carriers (coffee, cocoa, fruit). The goal is to create high-nutrition products, rich in proteins, fiber and antioxidants, that will promote health and respond to the modern lifestyle (easy transport, storage and preparation, without the need for refrigeration). The products produced will be made from 100% natural raw materials, incorporating by-products from the production process of the praline, while 100% of their main raw material (dried fruits) will be of local or national origin. NUTriDrinks meets the growing demands of consumers for healthy, sustainable and practical products, as well as the trends of the plant-based diet and clean label. In the current market, liquid plant-based beverages have low dry fruit content, low nutritional value and high maintenance requirements, while most beverages are rich in sugar and artificial additives. One of the innovations of the new products of NUTriDrinks is the fact that they are available in the form of a concentrate (dried fruit cream), packaged in an individual portion sachet, without the need for refrigeration or the addition of preservatives, while their reconstitution is immediate by adding water, offering a long shelf life without additives and providing the consumer with maximum convenience in transportation, storage and use. Another innovation of the project is the utilization of by-products through the addition of nuts oils, residues from the production of praline, contributing to the circular economy and environmental sustainability. The 3 series of plant products that will be developed are: 1) Latte-type drinks with nuts and coffee, without lactose, 2) chocolate-flavored drinks with nuts and cocoa, rich in polyphenols, 3) fruit smoothies with nuts rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Each product line will be made from 3 different types of nuts, almond, hazelnut and shelled pistachio, and will be enriched with plant protein (from peas) and dietary fiber. The innovative composition of the plant beverages, through their enrichment with the functional ingredients of natural flavor carriers (coffee, cocoa, fruits), aims to combine the benefits of nuts (polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols) with bioactive compounds of high interest (polyphenols, plant fibers). Thus, the beverages obtain documented benefits for cardiovascular health, metabolism, and antioxidant defense. The scientific objectives of the project include the characterization of the bioactive substances of the new beverages, their stability and preservation, and the documentation of their physiological-bioluminescent activity (protein digestibility, feeling of satiety, and antioxidant capacity). PETROU NATS SA, through NUTriDrinks, will utilize a series of proprietary products (instant nut drinks), enriching them with bioactive flavor carriers (coffee cocoa, fruit) with the aim of developing and piloting 9 new products, optimizing their composition and achieving positive consumer acceptance. The partnership between PETRO NATS SA and APTH and ELGO DIMITRA ensures the interconnection of research and production, enhancing innovation, competitiveness and extroversion. In summary, the NUTriDrinks project proposes an innovative category of instant plant-based beverages that bridges healthy, balanced nutrition, sustainability and practicality, addressing modern consumer needs and strengthening the agricultural food chain of Thessaly.
