Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of dental caries and erosion associated with beverage consumption by measuring the sugar content and acidity of beverages for children, marketed in general food stores and cooperative living associations in Korea. Methods: Sixty types of children's beverages marketed in Korea were selected for the study. Calories, sodium, and carbohydrates in the nutrients per 100 ml, the sugar content, and pH of each beverage were measured. Frequency analysis, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were performed (p<0.05). Results: There was no significant difference in sugar content, calories, sodium, and carbohydrate content of regular and cooperative beverages, but the pH of cooperative beverages was significantly higher. Moreover, the mixed drinks had significantly lower sugar content, calories, and carbohydrates than fruit and juice, but the sodium content was significantly higher. Conclusions: When choosing beverages for children, caregivers should be able to easily access information about their impact on the child's oral health. Efforts should be made to maintain appropriate levels of sugar and acidity in beverages for children.

Thickened beverages or swallowing aid jelly (SAJ), commonly used as tablet-swallowing aids for dysphagic patients, may influence the disintegration of orally administered tablets. With this in mind, we evaluated the disintegration times of therapeutic tablets immersed in thickened beverages or SAJ compared to immersion in ones without them. Thickened beverages and SAJs were prepared with various beverages (water, orange juice, and milk) using food thickeners and SAJ powders marketed in Korea. The tablet disintegration times were the same in thickened beverages and SAJs, and there was no statistically significant difference associated with the thickness levels of the thickened beverages. The disintegration times of Tylenol immersed in orange juice or milk were slightly higher compared to those immersed in water. Moreover, there was no difference in disintegration time when using the thickened beverages and SAJs. The disintegration times of Aspirin were similar in all of the thickened beverages or SAJs, and there were no differences between non-immersed and immersed tablets. These results demonstrate that the disintegration of Tylenol and Aspirin is not greatly affected by immersion in any of the thickened beverages and SAJs.

Acid dairy drinks(ADD) are a worldwide product existing in many variations: fruit milk drinks, yogurt drinks, soy milk, butter milk, whey drinks and kefir etc. These drinks are marketed with different shelf lives depending on processing: -Short shelf life(maximum 3 weeks, cold storage) - Long shelf life(2 to 9 months, pasteurized, sterilized or retorted) Acidic protein drinks tend to a separation or destabilization process in the absence of stabilizing system during the shelf life of the ADD. A phase separation results in sedimentation of large particles at the bottom of the package and/or the formation of a serum layer at the top(whey off). These beverages are usually composed of an acid dairy phase (fermented base)or a natural base(milk, soymilk etc.)with an acidic medium (fruit phase: pulp, fruit concentrate etc.) which can be flavored. Sugar and stabilizers are added. It has been proved since the late 1950's that adding high methoxy pectin (HM pectin)to acid milk drinks is the best way to prevent the formation of a sediment and/or the whey off. In this presentation, we explain about stabilization mechanism of ADD induced by pectin. Applications and market trend of ADD in Asia and Europe are explained.

The use of caffeine as a psychoactive stimulant in tea has been observed to have serious negative effects in humans' systems such as respiratory, nervous, cardiovascular, renal and skeletal systems. This study was carried out to assess the levels of caffeine in 10 different tea brands available in local market in Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. Quantitative analysis of caffeine was performed by a simple and fast UV-Vis spectrophotometric methods using different solvents for extraction. The caffeine content in all the tea samples analyzed in this study were below the maximum allowable limits set by the USFDA. Tea have been associated with adverse health effects and the claims made by manufacturers about the benefits of tea do not highlight risks associated with excessive consumption of a combination of the ingredients contained in tea. Long term effects of tea consumption of children and young people have not been adequately studied. Therefore, it is recommended that further research be carried out on the adverse effects of energy drinks on children. Research is also needed to be done on the effects of the combination of ingredients on health and excessive consumption of those ingredients to children and adolescents. People need to be educated and given proper awareness on the health risks associated with caffeine containing beverages.

Background: In this study, four types of effervescent vitamins marketed in Korea were analyzed for their acidity and vitamin content. For this purpose, bovine teeth were immersed in vitamin, and surface microhardness and appearance were measured before and after immersion to evaluate tooth demineralization and erosion. Methods: Bovine permanent incisors with sound surface enamel were cut to 5×5 mm size, embedded in acrylic resin, and polished using a polishing machine with Sic-paper. The prepared samples were analyzed for pH, vitamin content, and surface hardness before and after immersion using a surface microhardness meter. Demineralization of surface dental enamel was observed using a scanning electron microscope. Results: The average pH of the four effervescent vitamins was less than 5.5; the pH of the positive control Oronamin C was the lowest at 2.76, while that of the negative control Samdasoo was the highest at 6.86. The vitamin content was highest in Berocca and lowest in the DM company Multivitamin. On surface microhardness analysis, surface hardness values of all enamel samples were found to be decreased significantly after 1 and 10 minutes of immersion (p<0.05). After 10 minutes of immersion, there was a significant difference in the decrease in hardness between the experimental groups (p<0.05). Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that dental enamel demineralization after 10 minutes of immersion was the most severe in Oronamin C except for Samdasoo, followed by DM company Multivitamin and VitaHEIM. Immersion in BeroNew and Berocca resulted in similar effects. Conclusion: There is a risk of tooth erosion due to decreased tooth surface microhardness when using the four types of effervescent vitamins and vitamin carbonated beverages with pH below 5.5. Therefore, high pH vitamin supplements are recommended to prevent tooth erosion.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the erosive potential of several fruit-flavored liquors marketed in Korea by measuring pH, titratable acidity, and variations in pH utilizing an ISO method. Materials and Methods: Six fruit-flavored liquors were investigated. An orange juice and three kinds of soju were selected as the control beverage. The pH and titratable acidity of the beverages were determined by 1 M NaOH until the pH 5.5 and 7.0 (recorded as $TA_{5.5}$ and $TA_{7.0}$, respectively). All measurements were performed in triplicate. The process of ISO 28888 was used for measurement of the pH variation (${\Delta}pH$) using an under-saturated hydroxyapatite solution (screening solution) and determining the difference between the initial and final pH of the screening solution. The average ${\Delta}pH$ was determined based on 4 measurements. Results: All the fruit-flavored liquors tested in this study showed a pH lower than the critical pH for dental erosion (4.5). The average pH of the fruit-flavored liquors was 2.77 and was also lower than the pH of the soju and an orange juice (control drinks). $TA_{5.5}$ and $TA_{7.0}$ values of the fruit-flavored liquors were 4.92ml and 7.13ml, respectively. The fruit-flavored liquors showed an erosive potential capable of damaging the enamel surfaces, whereas the orange juice had the highest titratable acidity. The changes in pH determined using the screening solution confirmed that the fruit-flavored liquors had erosive potential, with ${\Delta}pH$ value of 1.53. Conclusions: The fruit-flavored liquors tested in this study might have a strong potential to erode dental hard tissues.
