Lecture 9- beverages Flashcards
What are the ingredients for carbonated soft drinks?
–90-98% sparkling water
–Up to almost 10% sugar (mostly HFCS)
–Remainder = colour, acids (flavour, preservative), other preservatives, other flavours, caffeine
What are the possible additives in soft drinks
Acids (citric, malic phosphoric)
Preservatives (benzoic, sorbic)
Colors (natural, artificial, caramel)
Flavors (natural, artificial)
Describe the common acids used in soft drinks as additives
Citric- natural acid
Malic- natrual acid
Phosphoric acid- a stronger acid usually used in cola drinks. Phosphorus is present in most animal and plant cells. Cola drinks contain about 13-19mg/100ml compared to 200-800 mg/100gm in cheese eggs, meat, fish, bread and nuts
Describe preservatives commonly used in soft drinks as additives
Bensoiz acid- inhibits molds and yeasts
Sorbic acid- better at lower pH levels than benzoic acid
Describe colors commonly used in soft drinks as additives
Natural- derived from plant products- fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, spices, and oils
Artificial- synthetically manufactured
Caramel- made from sugar to provide the characteristic brown color of cola drinks
Describe flavors commonly used in soft drinks as additives
Natural- derived from plant products- fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, spices, and oils
Artificial- synthetically manufactured
Which drug was initially a part of carbonated drinks?
Cocaine
What is the global trend in carbonated drink consumption? In canada?
World- It is being consumed more and more
Canada- Carbonated soda drink consumption is steadily decreasing
How are diet soda drinks different from the original?
•Alternative sweeteners used e.g. Aspartame, Saccharin, Acesulfame-K, Sucralose •Water content increases from 90% ->98% •Sugar content decreases to 0% •Detrimental effect on mouthfeel –Bulking agents added
Define bottled water
“Bottled water is water which has been PACKAGED IN SEALED for use by consumers. The water can come from a VARIETY OF SOURCES including springs, aquifers, or municipal supplies and the water may be treated to make it fit for people to drink.”
—Health Canada —
What are the types of bottled water?
- Mineral/spring water
- Deionized water
- Distilled water
- Carbonated/ sparkling water
Describe mineral/spring water Source What does it contain? Specific labelling Carbonated/non-carbonated?
–From underground source (must specify source)
–Naturally contains dissolved mineral salts
Magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium are the main minerals found in spring waters
–May be labeled “natural” if composition unaltered
–Either carbonated or non-carbonated
Describe deionized water
–Purified: all mineral salts removed
–Not as flavourful
Describe distilled water
–Heated, then condensed
•Minerals removed, pathogens destroyed
•Yields clear ice cubes
–Must declare on label
Describe carbonated/sparkling water
–Soda water / club soda
–Seltzer water
–Sparkling mineral water (e.g. San Pellegrino, Perrier)
How much bottled water do canadians drink
50L per capita
Name Non-carb / functional beverages
- Sports, isotonic or recovery beverages
- Nutraceutical beverages
- Energy beverages:
Describe Energy beverages
- Functional beverages that provide temporary mental alertness or other physiological benefits
- “Caffeinated Energy Drinks” –CFIA
- High in calories (usually carbohydrates) and added stimulants (e.g. caffeine)
- Health Canada reminds Canadians not to mix caffeinated drinks with alcohol
Describe Nutraceutical beverages
•Drinks delivering health benefits
•Ingredients include
–green tea, antioxidants, soy, fiber, probiotics, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals
•Cranberry juice is an early example
Describe Sports, isotonic or recovery beverages
- Prevent dehydration
- Replace electrolytes (K, Na)
- May contain: CHO (usually HFCS), vitamins, low-cal sweetener, natural & artificial flavours
Describe changes in canada’s sugar intake from non-alcoholic beverages since 2004
Canada’s per capita sugar intake from non-alcoholic beverages decrby 20% since 2004
What was the canada’s sugar intake from non-alcoholic beverages in 2017?
100-140 kcal/day(approx7% total kcal)
–Does not include dairy products, tea, coffee
What are the serving sizes for liquor, wine, wine cooler, beer and alcohol in general?
One serving- 1 ounce of alcohol Liquor- 1.5 oz glass Wine- 5oz glass Wine cooler- 12 oz Beer- 12oz
What are the most common plants used for alcohol production?
barley, wheat, corn, grapes
What is the grain used for beer?
Barley =main grain used (but other grains can be used)
What are the 5 steps of beer production?
malting, brewing, fermenting, lagering, filtering or pasteurizing
What is wort?
liquid fraction from mashing, very high in sugars -> fermented by yeast
What are hops?
dried fruit of the Humulus Lupulus plant, added to wort-> boil mixture
What are spirits
Distilled beverages that embody the “spirit” of the fermented mixture
What are spirits made from?
From grain or fruit mixtures
What are hard spirits?
more alcohol than beer or wine
What is proof of alcohol? Which system is used in Canada?
Alcohol proof is a measure of the content of ethanol (alcohol) in an alcoholic beverage
Canada labels by percentage of alcohol by volume
Alcohol proof in the United States is defined as twice the percentage of alcohol by volume. Consequently, 100-proof whiskey contains 50% alcohol by volume
What are the 3 steps of wine preparation?
fermentation, racking, aging
How is sugar in grapes used in wine making?
It is used by yeast
How is microbial growth controlled during wine making?
Acidic concentration (pH 3) discourages microorganism growth
What is the role of yeast in wine making?
Yeasts produce many compounds (higher alcohols, acids and esters) that contribute to flavour
Malt, mill, mash, lauter, boil, ferment, filter, bottle, distill
Which step as used for beer, alcohol and wine making?
Beer- Malt, mill, mash, lauter, boil, ferment, filter, bottle
Alcohol- Malt, mill, mash, ferment, distill
Wine- Mill, ferment, filter, bottle
What do home-wine makers add to their wine before bottling? Why?
Home wine- makers may add a Campden tablet when bottling to protect it from bacteria hat could turn the wine into vinegar
What is distilling?
Distilling is simply evaporating and condensing the Iiquid.
What is lauter?
This separates the wort (sugars) from the grain and dilutes the alcohol content depending on your recipe
