Application of coniferous cedar distillate in soft drinks recipes

The aim of the study is to develop new recipes for carbonated soft drinks using coniferous distillate as an original ingredient; to assess the quality and safety indicators of the resulting products. The research has studied the possibility of using coniferous cedar distillate obtained as a result of steam hydrodistillation of coniferous cedar extract at LLC "Innovative Forest Technologies" located in the Yemelyanovsky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The study has developed new original recipes of non-alcoholic carbonated drinks using coniferous cedar distillate as an ingredient; carried out an assessment of the quality indicators of the developed, received products; determined the organoleptic, physicochemical and safety indicators of carbonated soft drinks with coniferous cedar distillate, which showed compliance with the regulatory documents GOST 28188-2014 and TR TS 021/2011. The main components of beverage recipes are as follows: coniferous cedar, prepared drinking water, sugar as a sweetener, ascorbic and sorbic acids as the preservative with the following quantitative ratio per 1000 l (100 dal) of the finished product: pine coniferous distillate - 15-30 l; sugar - 92.39 kg; ascorbic acid - 0.1 kg; sorbic acid - 0.3 kg; flavoring agent - 0.4 l; color scheme - 1.4 kg; carbon dioxide - 4 kg; the rest is water. Non-alcoholic carbonated drink, due to the addition of coniferous cedar distillate, has a harmonious taste and pleasant coniferous aroma, as well as acquires functional properties. The proposed formulations of soft drinks with the addition of coniferous cedar distillate as a component will provide an opportunity for industries to manufacture products with new quality characteristics and non-traditional organoleptic properties, based on raw plant sources of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
