Plant-based beverages are water-soluble extracts of cereals, pseudocereals, seeds and legumes that resemble milk in appearance. However, these products have important differences compared to normal liquid milk, such as nutritional composition, sensorial properties and shelf-life stability. Increasing number of consumers are opting for these beverages due to lactose intolerance, milk protein allergies or lifestyle.

Article Synopsis
- Prolamins found in wheat, barley, and rye are linked to health issues like celiac disease and wheat allergies, pushing the need for gluten-free alternatives like rice flour, though its products are not as high-tech.
- Adding low-fat desiccated coconut flour and xanthan gum to rice flour significantly improves the quality and properties of gluten-free cakes, impacting viscosity, moisture, and texture.
- The study successfully optimized a gluten-free cake recipe, achieving improved sensory qualities (taste, texture, etc.) through careful ratios of rice flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum, validated by strong statistical models.
