Carbonated soft drinks

Carbonated soft drinks 


Divided into mineral water and fruit drinks like pop. 

Mineral water. They are natural and artificial. 

Natural mineral waters are natural (natural) water soluble physiologically active mineral salts and gases (carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc.). 

Natural mineral water on the degree of mineralization is divided into dining (drinking), medical-table and Treatment. Total 

mineralization table water does not exceed 2 g / l, medical table - 2.8 g / l, treatment - more than 8 g / liter. 

Canteens and therapeutic mineral water can be used as a refreshing beverage, medical - doctor's prescription only. 

Depending on the chemical composition of mineral waters are divided into bicarbonate, hdoridnye, sulfate, a complex composition (tidrokarbonatnye chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate and chloride-sulfate), as well as water containing biologically active components (in mg / l): iron - over 10 arsenic - over 1, bromine - over 25, iodine - 10 Lithium - 5, and other trace elements, as well as radium and Rodon in limited quantities. 

Before bottling mineral water is filtered, treated with ultraviolet rays, is saturated with carbon dioxide to the content of 0,3-0,4%. 

Medical tablespoons of water and has a strong medical and physiological effects on the human body, used as medicine prescribed by a doctor, but can be used (not systematically) and as a table beverage. 

Drinking water treatment have a pronounced therapeutic effect, apply only on prescription and in strictly defined dosage. 

Artificial mineral waters are the drinks, prepared by dissolving in drinking water, sodium, calcium and magnesium, followed by saturation of carbon dioxide. 

They are known as: Soda - contains baking soda and food, common salt, seltzer - contains the addition of sodium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium, Dining room - instead of magnesium chloride contains magnesium sulfate; Churinskaya contains calcium and magnesium salts in the optimal ratio. 

The label bottles of mineral water than usual requisites indicate the date of dispensing, the name of the water and its chemical composition, number of wells, number of standard, recommendations for storage and use. 

Mineral waters of natural and man must be transparent, colorless, with a characteristic flavor and aroma, must meet the sanitary-bacteriological requirements. Not allowed foreign matter, foreign taste and odor, the presence of preservatives and salts of heavy metals. The content of carbon dioxide from 0,3 to 0,4%. 

They store the mineral water in the dry dark rooms at a temperature of 5-12 ° C. Bottles, sealed crown cork, store in a horizontal position to prevent leakage of carbon dioxide. For more reliable sealing can be stored in an upright position. Shelf mineral water in these conditions up to a year, ferruginous waters - 4 mo. 

Fruit soda. Receive them by saturating water with carbon dioxide. To make the fizzy drinks a certain color, flavor and aroma are using fruit juices, extracts of aromatic and tonic vegetable raw materials, dyes, citric acid, sugar syrup and other components. 

Currently, non-alcoholic carbonated beverage is prepared using the framework, the main components of which are concentrated juices and extracts of plant material, organic food acids, essential oils and dyes. Fundamentals mixed with sugar syrup and water and are blending syrup. In some cases, it made solution preservatives (sodium benzoate, sorbic acid salts, etc.). Blended syrup mixed with water, a mixture of aerated and bottled in bottles or cans. Sometimes just aerated water, and then it's mixed with the blended syrup. 

As the natural colors of soft drinks using Buzinova red-stem roses, enokrasiteli (grape marc), Kohler (aqueous solution of caramelized sucrose), tea stains, yellow soflorovy etc. Because artificial colorants approved for use indigo (blue) and tartrazine F (bright yellow). 

Most often the basis of soft drinks consists of two separately stored components. One of them - the aromatic part - is a solution in alcohol of essential oils with a low content of dry matter, while the other - part of the extractive - dark, thick liquid bitter astringent taste, with a high content of dry matter (68 ± 2%). Part of the comprehensive mix of recipes, and more - with sugar syrup and drinking water. 

Non-alcoholic fruit drinks in bottles on the composition is divided into five groups: on the natural raw materials for synthetic essence (flavoring), tonics, vitamin and special purpose. 

In appearance they are divided into clear and muddy, the content of carbon dioxide - on of highly (C02 more than 0,4%), srednegazirovannye (from 0,3 to 0,4%) and lightly (from 0,2 to 0,3% ). 

Drinks on natural raw materials (juices, syrups, fruit infusions, tinctures, extracts) contain 7-12% sugar. Knim include: Kiwi, Blackcurrant, Strawberry, Raspberry,. Passionfruit, Peach, Cherry, orange, etc. 

New types of carbonated beverages containing sugar, not more than 7%. In recent years, increasingly replaced sucrose sweeteners such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, tavmatin, which hundreds or thousands of times sweeter than sucrose or xylitol, sorbitol and mannitol (for diabetics). 

Drinks on synthetic essence is prepared on the basis of sugar syrup with the addition of fragrance, dye and citric acid. Names of their respective type flavor. 

Power (bracing), carbonated drinks are also called tonics. They include extracts and restorative plant extracts containing alkaloids and other biologically active substances. This infusion of eucalyptus, ginseng, laurel, aralia manchzhurskoy, devil's, magnolia, levzei, green and black tea, etc. These drinks Baikal, Tonic, Morning, Space, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Club-Cola, etc. 

Fortified soft drinks contain high water-soluble vitamins (ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, pyridoxine, nicotinic acid, etc.). . Vitaminizing, drinks by adding vitamins-containing raw material - fruit juices, extracts, tinctures, etc., they also enriched with vitamins, as obtained by synthesis or extracted from natural products. 

Carbonated drinks special is prepared for certain populations: for diabetics - sucrose substitute xylitol, or mannitol sorbite: Orange, Cherry, Lemon, and others, for people with high nervous excitability - a tincture of valerian root, for people with disorders of the vestibular apparatus is designed drink Elkagam, lifting discomfort with sea sickness. Therapeutic and prophylactic New drink promotes the excretion of heavy metals, because it contains apple and sugar beet pectin, etc. 

In carbonated drinks determine the quality of sealing and these-ketirovki (labeling). Then determine the saturation of drink carbonation. For this it is poured into a glass of colorless glass. In very good drink saturation with carbon dioxide gas bubbles do not merge together and bubble on the surface, and individually quick float upward; gassing long. 

To determine the color and transparency of glass with a drink put on a sheet of white paper and scan it to the light and the background paper. 

When trying a drink to taste, establishes the name and type of beverage, celebrate shortcomings: high acidity, faint aroma, metallic, musty, chlorine and other flavors
