Contents

All flavors contain no high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, or carbonation, and are made with natural flavors. The regular version is made with all natural ingredients, while the diet version contains an artificial sweetener to reduce caloric content. Containing 10% milk and 5% juice, the beverage has a uniquely smooth texture.

Caffeine A central nervous system stimulant

Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. Unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world. There are several known mechanisms of action to explain the effects of caffeine. The most prominent is that it reversibly blocks the action of adenosine on its receptor and consequently prevents the onset of drowsiness induced by adenosine. Caffeine also stimulates certain portions of the autonomic nervous system.

Carbonation refers to reactions of carbon dioxide to give carbonates, bicarbonates, and carbonic acid. In chemistry, the term is sometimes used in place of carboxylation, which refers to the formation of carboxylic acids.

This beverage is currently being tested at Mad Greens restaurant locations throughout Colorado. [1]

Ingredients

The regular Mango Peach and Tropical Pineapple flavors contain water, sugar, nonfat milk, pear juice concentrate, and less than 1% of pectin, citric acid, natural flavors, beta carotene (color), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to preserve freshness.

Pectin structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants and some algae

Pectin is a structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants. It was first isolated and described in 1825 by Henri Braconnot. It is produced commercially as a white to light brown powder, mainly extracted from citrus fruits, and is used in food as a gelling agent, particularly in jams and jellies. It is also used in dessert fillings, medicines, sweets, as a stabilizer in fruit juices and milk drinks, and as a source of dietary fiber.

. It occurs naturally in citrus fruits. In biochemistry, it is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.

The diet Mango Peach and Tropical Pineapple flavors contain water, sugar, nonfat milk, pear juice concentrate, and less than 1% of citric acid, pectin, natural flavors, cellulose gum, beta carotene (color), acesulfame potassium, sucralose, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to preserve freshness.

Acesulfame potassium chemical compound

Acesulfame potassium, also known as acesulfame K or Ace K, is a calorie-free sugar substitute often marketed under the trade names Sunett and Sweet One. In the European Union, it is known under the E number E950. It was discovered accidentally in 1967 by German chemist Karl Clauss at Hoechst AG. In chemical structure, acesulfame potassium is the potassium salt of 6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazine-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide. It is a white crystalline powder with molecular formula C

and a molecular weight of 201.24 g/mol.

Sucralose chemical compound

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener and sugar substitute. The majority of ingested sucralose is not broken down by the body, so it is noncaloric. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number E955. It is produced by chlorination of sucrose. Sucralose is about 320 to 1,000 times sweeter than sucrose, three times as sweet as both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and twice as sweet as sodium saccharin. Evidence of benefit is lacking for long-term weight loss with some data supporting weight gain and heart disease risks.
