Drinks juices

Concentrations of fluoride in fruit and vegetable juices are generally low [17], Concentrations exceeding 1 mg/L of fluoride were determined in 18 out of 43 ready-to-drink juices in the United States, most probably due to contamination with fluoride-containing pesticides [116], Higher concentrations of fluoride in the range from 0.02 to 2.8 mg/L in 532 juices [117] and 1.2-5.4 mg/L in 20 juices [118] were also reported. Concentrations of fluoride in 332 soft drinks ranged from 0.02 to 1.28 mg/L and exceeded 0.60 mg/L of fluoride for 71% of the... 

When analyzing drinking juices, correct for °Brix to relate the results to singlestrength juice using the equation CoBrix = Cs x (11.5/°Brix of sample), where CoBrix is the concentration of an organic acid in the sample at 11.5 °Brix. 

Acesulfame-K is not metabolized in the human body. It is not fermented by oral bacteria and produces no glycemic response. There is no evidence of any toxicological effect of acesulfame-K. An ADI of 0-15 mg/kg body weight has been allocated (2,7,57). Its use is approved in many countries in products, including soft drinks, juices, desserts, jams, marmalades, dairy products, baked goods, canned foods, candies, oral hygiene, and pharmaceuticals (7,10). 

In children who drink juices containing aspartame, hypersensitivity has been observed and an increased tendency toward aggressive behavior has been observed. It has been found that aspartame intake leads to doubling phenylalanine concentration in the central nervous system. Also an increase in tyrosine has been observed, followed by a decrease of tryptophan—a serotonine precursor. Low CNS serotonine in children has been found to be responsible for neurosis symptoms. 

Finally, enzyme isolation from microorganisms allows the application of biocatalysts in many other fields and products such as laundry detergents (with the washing machine as reactor), food (cheese, bread), drinks (juice, beer, wine), and feed (enzymes as digestion aid). The food and feed industries in particular replace more and more additives by enzymes, i.e. eatable and digestible catalysts, that result in comparable or even better functional products. 

It remains to be mentioned that the same aromatised concentrates are also used for reconstitution and sale in dispensers. These machines keep the concentrate refrigerated, they reconstitute it with water to juice strength and they dispense the ready-to-drink juice into cups for immediate consumption. A large Floridian citrus factory (LYKES PASCO, Inc. (25)) used to distribute a great part of their citms juice production world-wide in this way (Vitality-Dispenser). 

Laboissiere et al. (2007) showed that high-pressure processing (300 MPa, 5 min, 25°C) could be used to preserve yellow passion fruit pulp, yielding a ready-to-drink juice with improved sensory quality, free from cooked and artificial flavor attributes, as compared to commercial juices. High-pressure treatment did not cause any significant modifications in compounds responsible for aroma, flavor, and consistency. 

Marked hypertension, diaphoresis, altered mental status and hypertonicity (slow forceful twisting and arching movements) occurred in one patient taking phenelzine with ecstasy. Increased muscle tension, decorticate-like posturing, fever, tachycardia and coma occurred in another patient taking phenelzine, 15 minutes after drinking juice containing ecstasy. Both patients recovered. 

Concentration is achieved by changing the formulation of the product to deliver higher performance per unit volume. For example, instead of delivering one litre of ready-to-drink juice, a concentrate occupying a fifth of the volume can be delivered to the customer, who just adds water to it. The transported weight is reduced, but the same function is delivered to the customer. 

Each year, over 100 billion aluminum cans, billions of glass bottles, and thousands of tons of paper and plastic are used in storing and dispensing soft drinks, juices, processed foods, grains, beer and other products. In the United States approximately 5.5 million tons of paper are consumed each year in packaging materials, which represents about 15% of the total annual domestic paper production. 

Other recycled PET packaging applications include containers for water, soft drinks, juices, toiletries and household products. 22 % of European RPET (recycled PET) was used to make containers (food and non-food) in 2008.
