Abstract:
This study was carried out or performed to investigate the possibility of producing some natural drink mixes with different ratios compared to the singular natural drinks without any mixing.
Those natural drinks were extracted and processed from some popular, know and available plant sources such as Roselle, Tamarin and Daum. Besides, fixing and evaluating the palatability of those aforementioned natural drinks and their mixes among representative samples of consumers especially school children (the most important consumers for those products). The effect of storage at -180c for (6) months on both physical, chemical properties and sensory evaluation of those previous natural drinks and their mixes was also put into consideration in this study. However, the obtained results reveal that nearly all natural mixes (1:1) were more preferable than the singular ones. It was also found through this study that storage at – 180C for six months had no harmful effect or non desirable changes on the different quality attributes of those stored natural drinks and their mixes.
Finally, it could be concluded through this study that, it was possible, successful and economic to produce natural drinks mixes to be consumed by children as those natural drink mixes rich source of minerals and vitamins which are necessary to their health.
