E namel erosion is a process of dissolution of the tooth enamel surface dependent upon the pH of the bathing medium, and not due to intrinsic acid production in dental plaque. Pathologic erosion of the dental tissues caused by the consumption of acidic beverages, lemon juice, citric acid, or fruits has been described.i, 2 In South Texas, snacks or candies that contain citric acid, extract of ja...

Introduction and Aim: Salivary pH is important for healthy enamel of the teeth. Consumption carbonated beverages leads to a drop in salivary which favors growth microorganisms, leading dental caries. This study evaluates efficacy preventive measures resisting change after consumption drink. Materials Methods: The consisted four experiments (1 4), conducted with thirty-seven participants: drink,...

Abstract Sensory discrimination testing is conducted for many reasons, including—but not limited to—flavor matching initiatives. When conducting these tests on carbonated beverages, there an established protocol the best way to differentiate multifaceted products. This in part due formulations exhibiting a spectrum of carbonation (CO 2 ) levels, flavors and ingredients. research tetrad at four ...

¹H Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (400 MHz) was used in the context of food surveillance to develop a reliable analytical tool to differentiate brands of cola beverages and to quantify selected constituents of the soft drinks. The preparation of the samples required only degassing and addition of 0.1% of TSP in D₂O for locking and referencing followed by adjustment of pH to 4.5. ...

We have developed an ultrasensitive indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of tartrazine. Two carboxylated analogues of tartrazine with different spacer lengths, and one derivative from commercial tartrazine after a little chemical modification, were synthesized as haptens in order to produce antibodies specific to tartrazine. The effect of sulfonic acid gr...

Perceptual maps of how consumers view a set of products are often constructed by pro®ling methods. One of the most common pro®ling techniques used is attribute rating analysis (ARA) in which consumers evaluate products on a prespeci®ed set of attributes. Free-choice pro®ling (FCP) allows consumers to describe and evaluate products in their own terminology. The objective of this study was to com...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to analyze selected individual determinants of dietary choices, important for etiology and prevention of degenerative cardiovascular disorders, in a group of menopausal women diagnosed with arterial hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included a group of 160 women from the Małopolska region, aged between 45 and 60 years and diagnosed with arteri...

A 21 year old man presented with multiple, recurrent episodes of complete atrioventricular (AV) block associated with swallowing. Electrophysiological study revealed an AV block with swallowing of carbonated beverages and balloon inflation in the lower oesophagus. Evaluation did not demonstrate any underlying oesophageal or cardiac disease, and the AV block was not induced after intravenous atr...

BACKGROUND Sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages (called soft drinks) and juices, which have a high glycemic load relative to other foods and beverages, have been hypothesized as pancreatic cancer risk factors. However, data thus far are scarce, especially from non-European descent populations. We investigated whether higher consumption of soft drinks and juice increases the risk of pancreatic c...
