history of carbonated soft drinks
1700: sparkling water created

1886: coca-cola invented

definition bottled water
Bottled water is water which has been packaged in sealed containers for use by consumers. The water can come from a variety of sources including springs, aquifrs, or municipal suppliers and the water may be treated to make it fit for people to drink
4 types of bottled water
- Mineral/spring water
- From underground source (must specify source)
- Naturally contains dissolved mineral salts
(most common= Ca and Na) - May be labeled natural if composition ualtered
- Either carbonated or non-carbonated (depending on source of water..)
- Deionized water
- Purified: all minerals salts removed
- Not as flavourful
- Distilled water
- Heated, then condensed - Minerals removed, pathogens destroyed
- Yields clear ice cubes
Must declare on labed - Carbonated/sparkling water
- Soda water/club soda
- Seltzer water (difference here is there no salt)
Sparkling mineral water (ex: san pellegrino, perrier)- In the kitchen, you can use this carbonated water to:
To do bread, because of its slower pH than neutral water, it helps to tenderize the gluten, will create a softer bread
- In the kitchen, you can use this carbonated water to:
non-carb/ functional beverages
- Sports, isotonic or recovery beverages:
- Prevent dehydration
- Replace electrolytes (K,Na)
May contai: CHO (usually HFCS), vitamins, low-cal sweetener, natural and artificial flavours
2. Neutraceutical beverages: - Drinks delivering health benefits
- Ingredients include (green tea, antioxidants, soy, fiber, probiotics, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals
Cranberry juice is an early example
3. Energy beverages: - Functional beverages that provide temporary mental alertness or other physiological benefits
- Caffeinated energy drinls - CFIA

Health canada reminds canadians not to mix caffeinated drinks with alcohol
liquid sugar fats
Canada’s per capita sugar intake from non-alcoholic beverages decrease by 20% since 2004 (statscan)
2017: 100-140 kcal/day (approx 7% total kcal) * does not include dairy products, tea, coffee
alcohol beverages
All contain the same amount of alcohol: 1ounce
1. One 1.5 oz glass of liquor 2. One 5 oz glass of wine 3. One 12 oz wine cooler 4. One 12 oz beer - Ethanol formed by sugar fermentation Most common plants used (barley, wheat, corn, grapes)
4 characteristics beer
- Barley= main grain used (but other grains can be used)
- 5 steps: malting, brewing, fermenting, lagering, filtering or pasteurizing
- Wort: liquid fraction from mashing, very high in sugars= fermented by yeast
Hops: dried fruit of the humulus lupulus plant, added to wort and boil mixture
spirits
- Distilled beverages that embody the spirit of the fermented mixture
- From grain or fruit mixtures
- Hard: more alcohol than beer or wine
- Amount of alcohol in spirits (proof, ABV)
wine
- Fermented juice of fruits, usually grapes
- 3 steps: fermentation, racking, aging
- Sugar in grapes: yeast fermentation
- Acidic concentration (pH 3) discourages microorganism growth
Yeasts produce many compunds (higher alcohols, acids and esters) that contribute to flavour
