Includes bibliographical references (pages 32-38) Thesis classification: P Mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a legume abundant in the Philippines and is one of the plant sources from which “milk” can be produced. Despite its potential, mung bean milk has not yet been extensively commercialized due to its significantly high starch content, which affects its physical stability and mouthfeel. This study aims to employ enzymatic hydrolysis using alpha-amylase in the production of shelf-stable homogeneous mung bean milk. It determined the effect of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch on the physical stability of the emulsion through homogeneity testing, physicochemical characteristics, and sensory characteristics of mung bean milk. Adding alpha-amylase resulted in a more stable and homogenous mung bean milk, with a stability index of 0.87, compared to the mung bean milk with xanthan gum. The enzymatically hydrolyzed mung bean milk resulted in a pH of 6.67, a significantly higher °Brix and a values, and a significantly lower L and b values (p < 0.05). Sensory scores on the mouthfeel, mung bean taste, flavor, and overall acceptability were significantly higher for enzymatically hydrolyzed mung bean milk (p < 0.05). It is concluded that the use of alpha-amylase for enzymatic hydrolysis of starch is effective in making mung bean milk more homogenous and physically stable yet still, overall, sensory-wise acceptable. The results of this study can be a reference for future production of plant-based milk alternatives. Mung Bean Philippines. Dairy processing Philippines. Peralta, Justin Godfrey B adviser.
