ABSTRACT

The new formulations of carbonated drinks include use of carrot juice/βcarotene, aspartame and mint flavour. Each one of them serves a particular function. Carrot juice/β-carotene as precursor of vitamin A; Aspartame reduces the sugar content to make them as low-calorie beverages and mint flavour enhances the traditional flavours. The daily consumption of 1-2 cans of these type of healthy carbonated drinks along with Ca and vitamin supplements are highly nutritious which is more than 10 cans of simple carbonated drinks per day [130].
