Generally, companies have limited themselves to offering products based on artificial additives, leaving the consumer dissatisfied, who, driven by preferences for healthier products, seeks a drink with better sensory and nutritional characteristics. In this work, a carbonated drink based on passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) was prepared with the addition of the aromatic herbs peppermint (Mentha spicata), lemon verbena (Cymbopogon citratus) and ginger (Zingiber officinale), at three concentrations (1, 3 and 5%). To identify physicochemical and sensory differences in the elaborated beverages, the physicochemical parameters °Brix, acidity, pH and CO2 volume were evaluated, based on the NTE INEN 1101-2017 and were subsequently subjected to an acceptability test by thirty untrained judges. A completely randomized bifactorial AxB design was used, for the comparison of means the Tukey al test was used (p <0.05). For the analysis of results, non-parametric statistics were used using the KRUSCAL WALLIS test and the Mann Whitney U test was used to determine the difference in means. The results of the ANOVA for the physicochemical parameters showed statistical significance (p˂0.05) for the °Brix and pH; and for the variables acidity and volume of CO2, no statistically significant differences were observed (p> 0.05). The drink made with lemon verbena at 3% presented a higher concentration of soluble solids with a value of 14.03 °Brix, and pH of 3.08, showing that these results comply with the parameters established by the standard. Sensorially, the drink made with lemon verbena at 1% obtained a better acceptance with respect to taste by the panelists.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
