BACKGROUND Within the ToyBox-study, a kindergarten-based, family-involved intervention was developed to prevent overweight and obesity in European preschoolers, targeting four key behaviours related to early childhood obesity, including water consumption. The present study aimed to examine the effect of the ToyBox-intervention (cluster randomized controlled trial) on water intake and beverage c...

AIMS In Sweden, alcohol abstention has increased over the last 20 years and consumption has recently decreased after a peak in 2004. To understand the dynamics of these trends the present study aims at estimating age, period and cohort (APC) effects on trends in alcohol use prevalence as well as overall and beverage-specific volume of drinking over the last three decades. METHODS APC analysis...

Since collection of 24 h urine samples is very time consuming and difficult to obtain, epidemiological studies typically only obtain spot urine samples. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether flavonoids and enterolactone in overnight urine could substitute flavonoids and enterolactone in 24 h urine as an alternative and more feasible biomarker of fruit, vegetable and beverage inta...

in recent years, water or sugar syrup, flavoring agents such as fruit juice or fruit juice concentrates and stabilizers have been added to the acidified dairy beverage composition. nowadays, the popularity of low fat and defatted fruit yoghurt drinks are mainly growing. the purpose of this study was to diversify the acidified dairy products by determining the sensory, rheological and stability ...

date juice was treated by cross- flow ultra-filtration with molecular weight cut-off (mwco) of 5 kda. optimized levels of feed brix, tmp and operation time were determined as 47.13, 82.11 psi and 30 min, respectively. under such conditions, 80.94% decolourisation and 97.78 % turbidity reduction were obtained while loss of glucose and fructose were estimated to be only 3.49% and 9.62%, respectiv...

Beverage emulsions are systems that are composed of two liquids including oil and water which are prepared by homogenizing oil phase in an acidic aqueous phase. They must be stable in both concentrated and diluted form for a period of 6-12 months upon standing at room temperature. Two immiscible phases contained systems are thermodynamically unsta-ble. In other words, they are vulnerable to bre...

A pure yeast isolate Clavispora lusitaniae from whey beverage, phenotypically and molecularly characterized, was used to develop a reliable, controllable and reproducible technology for preparation of low alcoholic naturally carbonated beverage from guava var. Allahabad Safeda, Lucknow-49, Punjab Pink and its blends with lemon var. Baramasi under optimized fermentation conditions. The specific ...

Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) has been successfully determined in coffee by high performance liquid chromatography dual electrode detection (LC-DED) in the dual reductive mode. Initial studies were performed to optimise the chromatographic conditions and these were found to be 50% acetonitrile, 50% 50 mM pH 2.0 phosphate buffer at a flow rate of 0.75 mL min(-1), employing a Hypersil C18, 5 μm, 250 m...

PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of acute hypervolemia, achieved through the ingestion of a sodium citrate-rich beverage, on cardiovascular strain and thermoregulatory function, during moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in a warm environment. Sodium citrate's ability to increase buffering capacity was also assessed. METHODS Twelve endurance-trained athletes completed two blind randomized tr...
