Shelf Life Study of Cajuína Isotonic Beverage with Physicochemical and Sensory Data

Piauí, Brazil's geographically indicated cajuína drink was used to develop a new sports beverage. This dataset contains physicochemical, sensory, and microbiological parameters evaluating the shelf life of isotonic cajuína stored at room temperature and under refrigeration. The study by Luanne Morais Vieira Galvão found the drink retained quality and safety for up to 150 days.

Use Cases

• Modeling vitamin C degradation kinetics based on storage temperature and time mentioned in the description
• Predicting sensory acceptance scores based on physicochemical parameter changes like pH and °Brix
• Assessing microbiological safety thresholds for beverage storage based on tests for coliforms and Salmonella
• Optimizing formulation for shelf life extension using the soluble solids to acidity (SST/ATT) ratio data

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results: pH < 3.0, titratable acidity 0.18 g/100 mL, °Brix 6.1
• Reports precise vitamin C reduction percentages: 83.3% at room temperature and 75.27% under refrigeration
• Contains multi-faceted evaluation covering physicochemical, sensory (9-point hedonic scale), and microbiological parameters
• Defines a clear shelf-life conclusion: product remains consumable for 150 days

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
