Beverages

Beverages are liquids intended for consumption, including water, juices, milk, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
They play a crucial role in human nutrition, hydration, and cultural practices.
This term encompasses a wide variety of beveraqes, from traditional and artisanal to commercially produced drinks.
Researchers in the field of beverage science and technology investigate topics such as flavor, nutrition, processing, packaging, and consumer preferences to enhance beverage quality, safety, and appeal.

The long-FFQ consisted of 172 food and beverage items and nine frequency categories, ranging from almost never to seven or more times per day (or to 10 or more glasses per day, for beverages). It asked about the usual consumption of listed foods during the previous year. The food list was initially developed according to percentage contributions based on absolute values of energy and intake of 14 target nutrients from weighed food records in 1989–19918 (link) and used for the Japan Public Health Center-based prospective Study,8 (link)12 (link) for which it was modified for middle-aged and elderly residents in a wide variety of areas of Japan. With regard to this modification, the following criteria were considered: calculation for an additional 17 nutrient items, such as fiber and folate, change of foods contributing to the absolute nutrient intake according to the updated Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan,13 ,14 and dietary regionality and change in generation for the present cohort (data not shown). As a result, 33 foods were added, and 5 foods and beverages were excluded.15 (link) Moreover, six foods were also added to account for potential inter-individual variation in specific nutrients, such as isothiocyanate and isoflavone. With regard to alcoholic beverages, choices of intake amount were changed from the initial JPHC-FFQ.
To develop the food list for the short-FFQ, we selected and combined items and supporting questions from the original long-FFQ. We selected the three major foods and beverages that contributed to inter-individual variation for each of 40 nutrients according to a cumulative R2 for the 40 nutrients,16 based on the multiple regression coefficient with total intake of a specific nutrient as the dependent variable and its intake from each food as the explanatory variable. Inter-individual variation was calculated by gender among 45 869 men and 52 989 women who responded to the JPHC Study 10-year follow-up survey. Consequently, cumulative R2 for the nutrients ranged from 0.4 to 1.0. For potential inter-individual variation in intake of specific food groups, some foods, such as coffee, were added. Ultimately, 66 food and beverage items were selected for the short-FFQ. In this validation study, information on alcoholic beverages was substituted with those from the long-FFQ (united with overall information of lifestyle), because these questions were not included in the short-FFQ. This was because information on alcoholic beverage intake was structured in pages for lifestyle other than diet, such as smoking status and physical activity, and the reproducibility of alcoholic beverage intake was relatively high even if questionnaires were administered at a 1-year interval.17 (link),18 (link)Intakes of energy, 53 nutrients, and 29 food groups were calculated using the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan 2010,19 Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan Fifth Revised and Enlarged Edition 2005 For Fatty Acids,20 and a specifically developed food composition table for isoflavones in Japanese foods.21 (link)

Since its inception two decades ago, yeast genomics has been built around the single reference genome of S288C. The original idea was the production of a single consensus representative S. cerevisiae genome against which all other yeast sequences could be measured. The reference genome serves as the scaffold on which to hang other genomic sequences, and the foundation on which to build different types of genomic datasets. Whereas the first genome took years to complete, through the efforts of the large international consortium described, the sequences of dozens of genomes have been determined in the past several years (Engel and Cherry 2013 ). As sequencing has become more widespread, less novel, and, above all, less expensive, decoding entire genomes has become less daunting. New genomes now take only days to sequence to full and deep coverage and are assembled quickly, by individuals or small groups, through comparison to the reference, which is an invaluable guide for the annotation of newly sequenced genomes.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the genome of a species can contain a great deal of complexity and diversity. A reference genome can vary significantly from that of any individual strain or isolate and therefore serves as the anchor from which to explore the diversity of allele and gene complements and to explore how these differences contribute to metabolic and phenotypic variation. In the pharmaceutical industry, knowledge of the yeast reference genome helps drive the development of strains tailored to specific purposes, such as the production of biofuels, chemicals, and therapeutic drugs (Runguphan and Keasling 2013 ). In the beverage industry, it aids in the fermentation of beers, wines, and sakes with specific attributes, such as desired flavor profiles or reduced alcohol (Engel and Cherry 2013 ). We have seen the advantage afforded the yeast and genetics communities because of the early availability of an S. cerevisiae reference genome. The great facilitation of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs is without question (Botstein and Fink 2011 (link)).

Using a FFQ, participants reported the intake of foods consumed during the previous month. The FFQ was designed for the Dutch population and based on the VetExpress, a 104-item FFQ, valid for estimating the intake of energy, total fat, saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and cholesterol in adults [5 (link)]. The VetExpress was updated and extended with vegetables, fruit, and foods for estimating the intake of specific PUFA’s, vitamins, minerals, and flavonoids. To identify relevant foods and food groups for this questionnaire, food consumption data of the Dutch National Food Survey of 1998 were used. Foods that contributed >0.1% to the intake of one of the nutrients of interest of adults were added in this survey. Thus, the FFQ is expected to include foods that cover the daily intake of each nutrient of food of interest for at least 90%. In a final step, foods were clustered to food items and extended with new foods on the market and foods to guarantee face validity. The FFQ was sent to each study participant, and after completing it, the participants returned the FFQ in an envelope free of postal charge. A dietician went through each FFQ to check for completeness. If necessary, she contacted the participants by telephone and obtained information on unclear or missing items. The FFQ also included questions on adherence to a special diet as well as questions about the use of dietary supplements.
Some of the offspring and their partners who completed the general questionnaire of the LLS were invited to the clinic for additional measurements at the Leiden University Medical Center. These measurements lasted a half day and couples were invited for the morning program or the afternoon program, which were slightly different due to practical reasons. The first 24-hour recall was performed in those participants who came to the clinic for the measurement in the morning program [N=128 (Noffspring=62, Ncontrol=66)]. A dietician asked the participants about their dietary intake of the previous day covering all foods and beverages consumed from waking up until the next morning. The dieticians received standardized training, using a formal protocol, to reduce the impact of the interview on the reporting process. For the two remaining recalls, the dietician contacted the participants by telephone within the next seven days. The 24-hour recalls were performed throughout the year and the days were chosen non-consecutively. They include a randomly assigned combination of days of the week with all days of the week represented (80% weekdays and 20% weekend days), for each individual.
The food data from both dietary assessment methods were converted into energy and nutrient intake by using the NEVO food composition database of 2006 [6 ]. Furthermore, foods were categorized into 24 major food groups. Age was calculated from date of birth and completion date of the FFQ. For subjects with missing information on the date of completing the FFQ, we used the median date of the other subjects.

The database comprises 568 food images including sweet (e.g., ice cream, chocolate), savory (e.g., pistachios, sandwiches), processed (e.g., hamburger, French fries, potato chips, chocolate bars) and whole foods (e.g., vegetables and fruits) and beverages (e.g., coffee, orange juice). Images of single items (e.g., one apple), several items (e.g., three apples) as well as full meals (e.g., roast beef with vegetables), were included. The food images are complemented by 315 non-food images comprising animals (n = 37, e.g., butterflies, dogs), flowers and leaves (n = 42), common household objects (n = 89, e.g., bucket, flat iron), office supply (n = 20, e.g., paper clip, ball pen), kitchen accessories (n = 46, e.g., toaster, pan), as well as tools (n = 23, e.g., pliers, screws), food packaging (n = 33, e.g., pizza box; no food visible on packaging), and other objects (n = 25). Images were selected from a commercially available database (Hemera Photo Objects, Vols. I-III), collected from non-copyrighted sources on the internet, or taken in our lab using an Olympus SZ-31MR digital camera (OlympusCorp., Tokyo, Japan). All images are color photographs with a resolution of 600 × 450 pixels (96 dpi, sRGB color format). Images were standardized on background color (white) and selected/edited to be relatively homogeneous with regard to, viewing distance (≈80 cm), angle and simple figure-ground composition. The background was adapted to meet eating conditions: some foods can be presented without dishware (e.g., fruits or hamburger), while others naturally require a plate or bowl (e.g., soup or fruit salad).

Example 8

Example 8 was made by combining 70 g of aquafaba (62% by weight), 40 g of sucrose (36% by weight), 1.0 g Tasteva® (Tate & Lyle LLC, London, UK) stevia sweetener (0.9% by weight), caramel coloring agent 1 g (0.9% by weight), and 0.6 g chocolate cake flavoring (0.5% by weight). The aquafaba contained about 90% water and about 2% protein, by weight. The combined ingredients were whipped to form a foam. The foam was piped onto a tray and baked to form a stable, baked solid foam.

The solid foam was added to a 250-mL beverage and disintegrated in water at a refrigerated temperature of about 40° F. to about 32° F. (about 4° C. to about 0° C.) in less than 90 seconds to form a brownish, chocolate-flavored beverage.

In Examples 9-11, all of the ingredients were mixed together and cooked to about 295° F. (146° C.) on a stovetop. No acid was included in the ingredients, but acid may be added to provide a tart flavor and inhibit sugar crystallization, which decreases disintegration time. A drop roller was then used to form ball-shaped pieces of a desired size for hard candy. The ball-shaped hard candy pieces were then placed an oven for vacuum expansion. The candy was heated and expanded in the oven set at 155° F. (68.3° C.) for about 10 minutes on pans lined with crinkled aluminum foil. The edible solid foams of Examples 9-11 had a density in the range of 0.23 to 0.36 g/cm3 (0.13 to 0.21 oz/in3).

Example 14

Six formulations including alkalized cocoa powder were tested in a vacuum expanded hard candy beverage enhancer. All formulations had the same amounts of sucrose, high-maltose (HM) corn syrup, and stevia, as shown in Table 3. The amounts of water and alkalized cocoa powder or chocolate flavoring varied. For each formulation, all of the ingredients in Table 3 except for the stevia were mixed and cooked on a stovetop to about 295° F. (about 146° C.). The stevia was then added while gradually decreasing the temperature. The resulting hard candy was pulled for 15 seconds; Formulas A-E were mechanically pulled and Formula F was manually pulled. A drop roller was used to created spherical pieces of the hard candy. The spherical pieces were then vacuum-expanded in an oven. For the vacuum expansion, the candy was placed on pans lined with crumpled aluminum foil and was heated and expanded for about 10 minutes at an oven temperature of about 155° F. (about 68° C.). The disintegration times in Table 3 are for disintegration in milk at a refrigerated temperature of about 40° F. to about 32° F. (about 4° C. to about 0° C.).

Example 4

As part of evaluating the feasibility of a yeast-based approach as a treatment to mitigate the effects of elevated concentrations of galactose in foods and beverages, several evolved clones were tested for their capability of degrading galactose when present in food. Milk was tested because it represents the most challenging food for galactosemia patients considering its high level of galactose (2-4 g per 100 mL of milk). Food spiked with galactose was tested in parallel.

For this study, three evolved yeast strains obtained by adaptive evolution followed by UV treatment, Clone Y-C201-1, Clone Y-C202-1, and Clone Y-C202-2, one evolved yeast strain obtained by adaptive evolution, Clone Y-C202, as well as the initial parent strain Yi were compared for their galactose consumption activity. Cultures were initiated from a single colony on agar plates and grown in 15 mL of liquid YP medium (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone; Teknova, Hollister, CA) in a 50-mL mini-bioreactor by incubation at 30° C. with an agitation of 225 rpm supplemented with 2% galactose (Teknova). Strain Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) was prepared similarly to the evolved clones except that it was grown in YP medium supplemented with 2% glucose.

The testing of galactose consumption was started with yeast cells obtained from a culture volume containing 1.0×109 Colony Forming Units (CFU) pelleted by centrifugation at 1000 rpm (Sorval, RT7) for 10 min at room temperature. Cell pellets were resuspended either in 1.0 mL of milk already pre-treated with lactase (LACTAID milk where lactose is transformed into galactose and glucose) or in 1 mL rodent diet (Teklad, Envigo) spiked with a solution of 5% galactose or a solution of 5% galactose+1% glucose. All the reactions were incubated at 37° C. Aliquots of the reactions were taken at multiple time points and stored at −20° C. until galactose concentration determination.
