  • 1 Potassium Levels in a Range of Foods and Drinks Consumed in Mauritius
    Potassium levels in a range of foods and drinks consumed in Mauritius Sudaxshina Murdan1*, Anshu Prakash Murdan2, Premawuttee Murdan3 1UCL School of Pharmacy, University College London, 29-39 Brunswick Square, London, WC1N 1AX, UK 2Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Mauritius, Reduit, Mauritius 3Quatre Bords Road, Bon Accueil, Mauritius * Corresponding author email: [email protected] Introduction Potassium is an essential mineral nutrient, and high potassium intake is associated with lower mortality risk [1]. Thus people are advised to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables which are natural sources of potassium. Since potassium is readily excreted by people with normal kidney function, and based on estimates of the generally low potassium intakes in European and North American populations, no Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) has been set [2, 3]. However, certain groups of people, such as those with renal failure, are at risk of hyperkalemia [4] and people with chronic kidney disease, and on dialysis are advised to restrict their intake of potassium [5]. To help patients, a number of websites, such as [5-7] and publications, such as [8-10] provide the potassium levels in different foods. While these sources are very useful and much of the information is freely available on the web, there is a dearth of information about foods that are eaten in certain parts of the world, such as in the Republic of Mauritius. The aim of this pilot study was therefore to measure the potassium levels in a sample of drinks and plant foods that are commonly consumed in the island Republic of Mauritius.

    The Coca-Cola Company One Coca-Cola Plaza Atlanta, Georgia 30313 1-800-788-5047 Subject: DASANI® Bottled Water Report as required by California SB 220 Thank you for requesting information about the source and product quality of DASANI purified water. As the owner of the DASANI brand, The Coca Cola Company is pleased to provide this information to you. Most facilities that purify and bottle DASANI procure water from municipal water systems. At a few plants, however, water is obtained from protected groundwater sources managed by the bottling plant, with approvals from local authorities. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established standards of identity for various types of bottled water, including spring water, mineral water, artesian water and purified water. DASANI is made using purified water, which the FDA defines as: “Water that is produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis or other suitable processes and that meets the definition of “purified water” in the U.S. Pharmacopeia, 23d Revision, Jan. 1, 1995.” The DASANI purification process includes these steps, in approximately this order: • Volatile organic compounds and chlorine are absorbed as source water passes through granular activated carbon filtration, a form of crushed and hardened charcoal. • Minerals and additional impurities are removed as water is forced at high pressure through a semi-permeable molecular-level membrane. This step is called reverse osmosis. • Interim ultraviolet light disinfection destroys micro-organisms and ensures water safety and purity before re-mineralization. • Water is re-mineralized by the addition of small amounts of magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride and salt (which adds a negligible amount of sodium) to assure consistent taste.

  • Part I: Analysis of Case 5 1
    Part I: Analysis of Case 5 1. What are the strategically relevant components of the global and U.S. beverage industry macro-environment? How do the economic characteristics of the alternative beverage segment of the industry differ from that of other beverage categories? Explain. Market size The beverage market is a large market with the worldwide total market for beverages in 2009 was $1,581.7 billion. The total sale of beverages during 2009 in the US was nearly 458.3 billion gallons; with 48.2 percent of industry sales was from carbonated soft drinks and 29.2 percent of bottle water industry sales. In 2009, the market segment of alternative beverage include sports drinks, flavored or enhanced water, and energy drinks made up 4.0 percent, 1.6 percent, and 1.2 percent of industry sales, respectively. The global market for alternative beverages in the same year was $40.2 billion (12.7 billion liters), while the value of the U.S market for alternative beverages stood at $17 billion (4.2 billion liters). Meanwhile, in Asia-Pacific region, the market for alternative beverages in 2009 was $12.7 billion (6.2 billion liters) and it was $9.1 billion (1.6 billion liters) in the European market. Market growth The dollar value of the global beverage industry had grown at a 2.6 percent annually between 2005 and 2009 and was forecasted to grow at a 2.3 percent between 2010 and 2014. However, this indicator for the alternative beverage industry was much higher. For example, the dollar value of the global market for alternative beverages grew at a 9.8 percent annually between 2005 and 2009, but was expected to slow down to 5.7 percent annually between 2010 and 2014.

Available nearly everywhere, affordable and conveniently packaged, energy drinks represent an apparently simple solution to the worldwide exhaustion epidemic. Yet despite their widespread consumption and popularity - sales in the United States reached over $10 billion in 2012 - many questions still remain about their safety and efficacy (Meier, January 2013). To start with, most energy drinks contain ingredients that consumers are not familiar with, and that haven’t been studied for safe consumption in a laboratory environment. The goal of this whitepaper is to provide background information on what makes energy drinks different from other common sources of caffeine, examine the ingredients that give energy drinks their “boost”, and identify best consumption practices and potential safety issues.* I. What Are Energy Drinks Anyway? You might say that energy drinks are the older, stronger, jock brother of caffeinated soft drinks. They share some similarities – both are typically carbonated, contain caffeine and sugar, and are available everywhere. However, the biggest difference between energy drinks and sodas is how they are classified by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
