Formulation of Polyherbal Carbonated Beverage Based on Halalan Thoyyiban Principle

Herbal products usually have less palatability on their taste even though they are healthy and nutritious. Thus, this study aims to formulate polyherbal carbonated beverages, followed by the evaluation of sensory, physicochemical properties and their compliances with the halalan thoyyiban principle. Five formulations were prepared by varying the amount of water and polyherbal extracts that were designated using Design Expert 6.0.4 software. The most accepted formulation was formulation 1 (F1), containing 12.50% polyherbal extract and 87.50% water. F1 was characterised for its physicochemical properties, including carbon dioxide volume, pH, and total acidity, with 3.0 g/L, 4.5, and 1.7 %, respectively, and these findings have complied with the halalan thoyyiban principle. The antioxidant properties were evaluated by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP), as well as total phenolic content (TPC), and it exhibited 1.25 mg GAE/mL,1.08 mM Fe (II) and 0.39 mg GAE/mL respectively. Eight Halal Control Point (HCP) were identified along with the production. Moreover, the beverage was found to have antioxidant properties and nutritional content (carbohydrate (0.3%) and energy content (2.0 kcal/100g)), which can give health benefits to the consumer and proven safe for consumption (LC50 =1066.60 μg/ mL). To conclude, the formulated polyherbal carbonated beverage is accepted by the consumer and complies with the halalan thoyyiban principle.

Durability of different types of Mouthwashes on the Salivary Buffering system in Orthodontic Patients.

The fast elevation of the salivary pH in orthodontic patients has acritical role to safe the teeth and encourage the orthodontic treatment after acidic challenger. As their baseline salivary pH is dropped during fixed orthodontic treatments.Aims: this study was aimed to evaluate the durability of three types of mouthwashes on the salivary buffering capacity in orthodontic patients at 0, 5, 10, 15 mints after acidic challenger using direct pH meter.Material and method: 80 orthodontic patients; age range (13-21years) were distributed into four groups; 20/ each, the salivary pH were recorded using compact pH meter (LAQUAtwin, HORIBA's, Kyoto, Japan) before and after administration of carbonated beverage (100 mm coca cola) and directly after gargling with 100 ml of the tested mouthwashes (herbal, green tea and chlorohexidine mouthwash) beside tap water as placebo control. The pH was documented again at 0, 5, 10 and 15 mins after each mouthwash gargling. One way ANOVA analysis and Duncan multiple were used for salivary pH analysis, p≤0.05.Results: non-significant differences were found at 0, 5, 10, 15 mints in comparison with baseline pH after herbal mouthwash gargling, the same result was shown with chlorohexidine mouth wash but with less defined border. Salivary pH after green tea gargling showed clear oscillatory results after the same tested periods.Conclusions: Herbal mouthwash is the best type to improve salivary pH for longer duration after acidic challenger. While Chlorohexidine mouthwash shows beneficial effects in elevation salivary pH with less duration. Green tea mouthwash fail to control salivary pH for long duration.

Factors that affect the microbiological stability of “Chicha Morada” during its production on an industrial scale

“Chicha Morada” also known as purple corn drink (PCD), is a traditional non-carbonated beverage commonly prepared at homes and restaurants in Peru. However, in recent years, it is being produced at an industrial scale aiming to extend its shelf-life, expand its marketing and make it known worldwide. Traditionally, this beverage, main component being purple corn (Zea mays L.), was made and consumed quickly, and in some cases, stored under refrigeration until consumption, but never beyond 24 to 48 hours. With its industrialization, factories are presented with challenges to design and provide adequate protection of the beverage, assuring its quality and safety. Although its production at an industrial level is very similar to other non-carbonated drinks containing fruit juice, several processing factors could affect the microbiological stability desired for this beverage, such as the storage of the purple corn drink extract. In this document, a critical review of the production process (raw materials, production stages and forms of commercialization) that can have a direct impact on the contamination of the beverage was made. Recommendations are made for improving the control points in the industrial process and to avoid potential microbiological problems.

PERBEDAAN EFEK MINUMAN BERKARBONASI DENGAN MINUMAN PROBIOTIK TERHADAP PERUBAHAN GAYA Z-SPRING

The effect of the drink can cause changes in the resilience of the wire which is usually due to carbonated drinks or probiotics Carbonated beverage is a daily drinks with carbonic acid and has pH of 2.32. Carbonated beverage with lower pH may cause the releasing of nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) ions on stainless steel orthodontic wire in oral cavity and result in alteration of resilience. Purpose: The aim of this research is to know the change of resilience of stainless steel removable orthodontic wire before and after immersion with ,probiotic,carbonated beverages and saline solution. Material and methods: This study is true experimental study using pre and post test with control group design, consist of 9 treatment groups and control groups were obtained from preliminary test, each group using stainless steel ortodontic wire with the diameter is 0.6 mm and given a scratch along the wire then perform the resilience before and after the immersion using a UTM. Each sample was immersed and put in an incubator at 37oC for the first 4 days then measured with a UTM device then soaked again for the next 4 days and measured again. Research result: The results showed that there were differences in the resilience of the wires on day 0 and day 4 when immersed in carbonated drinks (p = 0.047) compared to soaking saliva and probiotics. Then z-spring stainless steel orthodontic wire soaked in probiotic obtained p value = 0.038. This shows that there is a difference in the resilience of the 8th day compared to the 0th day.Conclusion: Results Soaking stainless steel orthodontic wire changes its resilience. There was a significant difference between day 4 and day 8 for the wire soaked in carbonated drinks (p = 0.001). there is no significant difference in the wire soaked with probiotic drinks.

Perception, acceptability and decision-makingdeterminants of Soft Seltzer, a novel winegrapenon-alcoholic carbonated beverage categoryto health-conscious College students in California

The beverage industry is a significant market that is seeing a growth albeit certain types of beverages such as wine and soda-type drinks are seemingly declining. There is certainly seen a growing interest for novel beverages, especially when creating healthy options aiming to support health via enhanced functional food/beverage properties. Furthermore, understanding how the public perceives and makes purchasing decisions towards novel and unconventional options is of key importance. The Soft Seltzer category is an emerging category defined as a sparkling water-based low calorie, no added sugar, no artificial sweetener, non-alcoholic, carbonated beverage. In our pilot study herein, we aimed to assess interest and willingness to pay for such a product produced in Sonoma, California, specifically H2O/H2♡, a dealcoholized wine-type beverage enriched with vitamins, potassium, and calcium, using a perception and acceptability study to health-conscious college students in California. Respectivelly, healthy college students were provided an on-line acceptability questionnaire with 38 questions to evaluate the concept of the H2O beverage. Our participants indicated that they would be significantly interested in purchasing such a beverage, while as for willingness to pay, a price for $9.99/4x16oz cans was deemed less than or about what is expected from a majority of participants. Our results taken together demonstrate that there is substantial interest and traction for such a beverage, especially given its natural origin and potential health benefits. Further research including tasting and health-related functional properties for the beverage in discussion is suggested. Additionally, lifestyle aspects and nuances beyond alcohol that are important to wine drinkers and other consumers could be delivered by novel beverages, hence aid in their success in the beverage market
