Thirst quenching

The coconut is an unusual food for many reasons. It is technically a seed, produced by the coconut palm tree, and as such is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—the interior consists of both meat and water. The meat is the white pith with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings the coconut water is a white liquid that is very sweet and thirst-quenching. 

The nutritional value of soft drinks is sometimes exaggerated by manufacturers who want consumers to perceive their products to be of special benefit. That said, the value of soft drinks must not be understated, because they are an essential vehicle for hydration. Soft drinks are usually absorbed more readily than water (because of their osmolality), can replace lost salts and energy quickly and are rapidly thirst quenching. Their balance of sweetness and acidity, coupled with pleasant flavours, makes them attractive to all ages of consumers. Products are specially formulated to meet the tastes, nutritional needs and physiological constraints of the whole population, from babies to geriatrics. 

It could be said that freshly pressed fruit juice provides the truly natural answer to all the requirements of a soft drink thirst quenching, fresh, healthy, flavour-some, nutritional and, of course, natural. So why should it have been necessary to look any further towards the creation of different flavour types and the myriad of drink var ieties that has appealed over the years in beverage markets around the world Necessity, being the mother of invention, has been the driving force in all this. In the early years of the industry there was a real necessity for soft drinks manufacturers, in order to stay in business, to control a major threat to their trade, that of microbial fermentation and spoilage of the bottled product.

The use of acidulants is an essential part of beverage formulation, with the acid component usually third in order of concentration. Acidulants performs a variety of functions in addition to their primary thirst-quenching properties, which are the result of stimulation of the flow of saliva in the mouth. Because it reduces pH, an acidulant can act as a mild preservative and in some respects as a flavour enhancer, depending on the other components present. In addition, by functioning as a synergist to antioxidants such as butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA), butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) and ascorbic acid, acidulants can indirectly prevent discolouration and ranciditye. 

This compound exists as a vehicle to introduce the characterising components into the beverage thirst-quenching properties from the acid, flavour and body from the juice (also contributing to mouthfeel). A major part of the identity of the final drink is provided by the flavouring ingredients. In order to stabilise and protect these, oil- and water-soluble antioxidants are included. 

Once FP has been successfully conducted with consumers, researchers have attempted to go beyond sensory description in the strict sense. First, it is observed that when consumers participate in descriptive analysis studies, they tend to use some hedoni-cally orientated terms, as well as composite notions that may refer to benefits, which are consequences of consuming the product (e.g. thirst quenching, filling up) (Veinand et ai, 2011). They may also use attributes that are more integrative than those used by experts. The French adjective onctueux (creamy and smooth) would typically fall in this category. Such attributes may be referred to as meta-descriptors (Fr0st and Janhpj, 2007) or second-order sensory attributes. ... 

The product, calcium hydroxide, is commonly known as slaked lime because, as calcium hydroxide, the thirst of lime for water has been quenched (slaked). Slaked lime is the form in which lime is normally sold because quicklime can set fire to moist wood and paper. In fact, the wooden boats that were once used to transport quicklime sometimes caught fire in the heat of reaction when water seeped into their holds. An aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide, which is slightly soluble in water, is called lime water. It is used as a test for carbon dioxide, with which it reacts to form a suspension of the much less soluble calcium carbonate ... 

The readers will undoubtedly agree that the elucidations and derivations of the equations 13—15 are beyond the scope of this book, but chemists with some physical inclination may find some satisfaction in reading through Van Vleck s [207] Theory of Electric and Magnetic Susceptibilities to quench their mathemetical thirst. Instead of tabulating the measured magnetic moments of all europium compounds with variations we will mention the magnetic behaviour of the individual compounds as we deal with them. 

Soft drinks and fruit juices are usually consumed to quench thirst or as a sociable activity, rather than for their nutritional content. However, they always provide dietary water and, depending on formulation, can also contribute significant... 

It is used by animals both to quench thirst and to keep cool. 

There are many areas where there are no taps. People use any available source of water to cook and to quench their thirst. They must purify water by boiling, filtering and adding potassium permanganate to water. 

The solution to this problem is to drink plenty of water. This means routinely quenching your thirst plus drinking extra when exercising or in hot weather. This allows your kidneys to do their job of ridding the body of wastes and your liver to do its job of metabolizing stored fat. 

But, abruptly, I was walking on a Vermont hillside, covered with snow, looking for an old woman. The snow was slightly off-white making me wonder if there were fresh manure just under the surface. Despite the risk, I decided to eat some snow to quench my thirst. It was tasteless. 

A young boy of eight had been helping his parents by weeding in the cotton fields. Feeling thirsty, he ran back to the house, but found an empty container by the path and used it to scoop up some water from a ditch. He did not return home, and a village search found his body next to the empty endosulfan bottle innocently used to quench his thirst". 

ALEGTORIA - is a gem mentioned by Pliny (1. 37, c. 10), which is like crystal or clear water and he shows that this crystalline substance, which is as large as a horse bean, is found in the gizzard of poultry, or, as Albertus has it, of a castrated cock. It is found after the bird has attained the age of four years. It renders the possessor rich and of warlike aspect. And they report that Milo of Crotona was made invincible by such an Alectoria. It conciliates girls and quenches thirst. See also Solinus, etc. 

Ca(OH)2, the product of the equation above, is known as slaked lime because in this fonn the thirst for water has been quenched, or slaked. 

That sip of water was about 600 sextHlion (600 000 000 000 000 000 000 000) water molecules. If each water molecule were the size of a basketball, 600 sextillion basketballs would cover Earth to a height of more than 1500 km. Six hundred sextillion is a large number when you re talking about basketballs, but is it a lot of water Not really. It s 6 X 10 molecules—about 18 mb. That s not even a good gulp. So if you re thirsty, 600 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 water molecules won t quench your thirst. Water molecules are incredibly small. 

People who are blocked, closed, or unaware are like people whose only source of water is the rain. The rain comes when it will, allowing them to quench their thirst and find happiness for a while. But the rain can t fall forever, and eventually, thirst returns. If the rain stays away for weeks or months, then the earth dries, the crops wilt, and all the land is parched. 

Regardless of what happened, the patient experiences hyperosmolahty, which is a higher-than-normal concentration of sodium. This causes water to shift out of cells and into extracellular space resulting in cellular dehydration. A patient who is alert and can drink water to quench a thirst is at less risk for hypema-...
