chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from chitin by n-deacetilation, which has the property of gel formation. the objective was to develop a chocolate milk beverage using modified (hydrogel) chitosan as a thickening agent, and to make a sensory and rheological evaluation of this beverage. in the sensory evaluation an acceptability and comparative test with 50 local consumers was carried out, wi...

Restaurateurs often place a lemon slice on the rim of a beverage glass, or afloat in the beverage, as a flavor-enhancer or a decorative garnish. The handling of the lemons before their placement in the beverage may not follow sanitary procedures. The study reported here investigated whether beverage lemon slices contain microbial contamination that could be consumed by a restaurant patron. Swab...

Biogenic amines are low-molecular-weight nitrogen compounds that formed primarily by the decarboxylation of amino acids microbial enzymes. These active substances found mainly in various types food or beverages. At certain concentrations, biogenic essential for many physiological functions but toxic if consumed large quantities. Therefore, development and optimization methods sensitive to deter...

The objective of the present paper was to determine the influence of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) on the pharmacokinetics of isoflavones in healthy postmenopausal women. The study was a fixed-sequence, two-phase, crossover study. Twelve subjects received a single oral dose of 300 mL of a soy beverage. Blood samples were collected before the dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, and 32 h af...

INTRODUCTION Sucralose is used in the manufacture of nonnutritive sweetened food and beverage products. Sucralose, like most carbohydrates, lacks a good chromophore and therefore requires high concentrations to be detected by UV absorbance. Many food and beverage ingredients are chromophoric and can interfere with the direct detection of sucralose by absorbance. Refractive index detection has s...
