Study on the Antioxidation of the Compound Beverage of Winter Jujube and Peanut Meal

[ Objective] The aim was to study the antioxidative index of the compound beverage of winter jujube and peanut meal, discuss the im-pact of the storage conditions on its antioxidative activity and provide theoretical basis for the utilization of winter jujube and peanut meal resources. [Method] A kind of compound beverage was prepared with winter jujube and peanut meal, and its antioxidative activity was detected and its best storage conditions were determined. [ Result] The capacity of the compound beverage stored for 20 d to scavenge · OH, DPPH · and nitroso was the highest at freeze conditions, then followed by the refrigeration conditions, room temperature storage and sunlight. The total reducing capacity of the products was the highest under freezing conditions while the lowest under sunlight when some active components were destroyed. [ Conclusion] It is the best to store the compound beverage of winter jujube and peanut meal at freeze conditions and better at the refrigeration conditions. The storage of compound beverage should avoid direct sunlight. Key words Winter jujube; Peanut meal; Compound beverage; Antioxidation; China

Processing Technology of Compound Beverage of Lotus Root and Lemon

Objective] This study almed to optimize the processing technoIogy of compound beverage of Iotus root and Iemon. [Method] The Iotus root and Iemon were seIected as raw materials for preparing compound beverage. The Iotus root and Iemon were juiced respectiveIy. SubsequentIy, their juices were mixed together with a series of proportions so as to expIore a rational processing ratio of Iotus root and Iemon. [Result] The resuIts showed that the browning of Iotus root juice couId be effectiveIy prevented when the Iotus root juice was heated for 9 min and added with 0.8% citric acid. The optimized formuIa of compound beverage of Iotus root and Iemon was as foI ows： Iotus root juice to Iemon juice ratio, 5：1; addition amount of white granuIated sugar, 12%; addition amount of stabiIizer （CMC-Na）, 0.15%. Af-ter moduIation, homogenization, steriIization and other processes, the compound beverage of Iotus root and Iemon was prepared. [Conclusion] The compound bever-age, prepared by optimized technoIogy and formuIa, was characterized by a IittIe of yeI ow coIor, fuI of Iotus root and Iemon fIavors, rich nutrients, smooth taste with sweet and sour, as weI as good stabiIity.

Development of a Fubaiju Compound Tea Beverage

[Objectives]This study was conducted to develop a compound tea beverage with local characteristics.[Methods]A chrysanthemum compound tea beverage was developed using Fubaiju and Yunwu tea as the main raw materials,supplemented by wolfberry,through single factor test and orthogonal test,combined with sensory evaluation.[Results]The final product formula was the volume ratio of Fubaiju extract and Yunwu tea extract 2∶1,wolfberry juice 15%,white sugar 4%,citric acid 0.04%,and xanthan gum 0.05%.The prepared compound chrysanthemum tea beverage had the aroma and taste of Fubaiju,Yunwu tea and wolfberry,and tasted good.[Conclusions]This study provides reference for the deep processing and application of the two local special resources,Fubaiju and Yunwu tea.

Research and Development of Foshou Yam and Yacon Compound Beverage

[Objectives]Foshou yam and yacon were used as raw materials to prepare a compound beverage.[Methods]With Foshou yam and yacon as raw materials,single factor experiments and response surface method were used to optimize the optimal processing parameters of the compound beverage.[Results]The best processing parameters of the compound beverage were Foshou yam pulp 20%,yacon juice 30%,sugar 6%and citric acid 0.05%.Under the best conditions,the compound beverage scored 91.7 points,with a light yellow color,delicate taste,good Foshou yam and yacon flavor,moderate sour and sweet taste.[Conclusions]This study provides a new way for the development and utilization of Foshou yam and yacon.

Study on Processing Technology of Health Beverage Made from Artemisia Selengensis Turoz and Green Tea

This study took Artemisia selengensis Turoz and green tea as primary materials and sugar, lemon acid potassium as supplementary materials to make compound health beverage.The main influence factors to the quality of the compound beverage were investigated,such as addition amounts ofArtemisia selengensis juice, green tea juice,sugar and lemon acid.By orthogonal test ,the best formula of the compound health beverage is Artemisia selengensis juice 10 ml, green tea juice 200 ml, sugar 6 g and lemon acid 0.06 g. The optimum stabilizer of the beverage is CMC-Na with 0.03% amount.
