  • Governance on Russia's Early-Modern Frontier
    ABSOLUTISM AND EMPIRE: GOVERNANCE ON RUSSIA’S EARLY-MODERN FRONTIER DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Paul Romaniello, B. A., M. A. The Ohio State University 2003 Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Eve Levin, Advisor Dr. Geoffrey Parker Advisor Dr. David Hoffmann Department of History Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle ABSTRACT The conquest of the Khanate of Kazan’ was a pivotal event in the development of Muscovy. Moscow gained possession over a previously independent political entity with a multiethnic and multiconfessional populace. The Muscovite political system adapted to the unique circumstances of its expanding frontier and prepared for the continuing expansion to its east through Siberia and to the south down to the Caspian port city of Astrakhan. Muscovy’s government attempted to incorporate quickly its new land and peoples within the preexisting structures of the state. Though Muscovy had been multiethnic from its origins, the Middle Volga Region introduced a sizeable Muslim population for the first time, an event of great import following the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in the previous century. Kazan’s social composition paralleled Moscow’s; the city and its environs contained elites, peasants, and slaves. While the Muslim elite quickly converted to Russian Orthodoxy to preserve their social status, much of the local population did not, leaving Moscow’s frontier populated with animists and Muslims, who had stronger cultural connections to their nomadic neighbors than their Orthodox rulers. The state had two major goals for the Middle Volga Region.

  • Reformulation Case-Study: the Coca-Cola
    Reformulation Case-Study: The Coca-Cola Company Challenge: Reducing Sugar Coca-Cola, India reducing sugar in Fanta Fruity Orange with locally sourced fruit juice Coca-Cola India has been involved in being a part of the virtuous fruit circular economy by using a variety of Indian fruits, to enhance its business results while also promoting its local agri-economy. With consumers increasingly seeking for more natural products with lesser sugar, Coca-Cola India launched Fanta Fruity Orange which contains 5% orange fruit juice procured from Indian farms and a 20% reduction in sugar from the original Fanta. This marked the beginning of Coca-Cola India reformulating its aerated beverage portfolio with Indian Fruit Juice – a move which has the potential of contributing to a transformative impact on the agricultural sector while providing consumers with a low sugar version of their most loved beverage, Fanta. Overcoming Challenges To successfully mark its entry into a new category of Carbonated Beverage with Fruit, Coca-Cola India manufactured Fanta Fruity Orange using a cold fill process that is used to develop regular sparkling beverages, minimizing additional investments. The beverage formulation incorporated a robust preservative system to prevent microbial damage due to the use of fruit juices and used stevia to sweeten the beverage, reducing the amount of sugar present in the product, by 20%. Achievements The new Fanta Fruity Orange containing 10% real fruit juice and 20% lesser sugar has enabled similar product reformulation efforts for other sparkling beverages such as Limca and Sprite to be reformulated with real lemon juice. Furthermore, the locally sourced fruit juices will influence a lasting impact on the Indian agricultural eco- system, supplementing farmers’ incomes through supply chain interventions carried out by Coca-Cola India and support the government’s vision to support the local economy.

  • The Effect of Ph and Chemical Preservatives on the Growth of Bacterial Isolates from Commercial Samples of Fruit Juices Sold in South Eastern Nigeria
    International Journal of Research Studies in Biosciences (IJRSB) Volume 3, Issue 10, October 2015, PP 141-145 ISSN 2349-0357 (Print) & ISSN 2349-0365 (Online) www.arcjournals.org The Effect of pH and Chemical Preservatives on the Growth of Bacterial Isolates from Commercial Samples of Fruit Juices Sold in South Eastern Nigeria Onyeneto, T.C. Nwachukwu, I.N, Nwogwugwu, N.U Department of Microbiology, Anambra Department of Microbiology, Federal State University of Science and University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria. Technology, Uli, Nigeria. [email protected] Abstract: Five bacterial pathogens were isolated from commercial samples of fruit juices sold in South Eastern Nigeria. The isolates were characterized and identified as Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Psuedomonas, Lactobacillus and Gluconobacter species. The effect of pH, benzoic acid and Sodium chloride concentration on the growth rate of isolates was investigated. The result was that as the pH of the growth medium increased from 3 to 7, the rate of growth of the isolates increased. As the concentration of Sodium chloride increased from 2 to 4%, the rate of growth of the isolated decreased. As the concentration of benzoic acid increased from 250 to 1000mg/L, to growth rate of all the isolates decreased. Also as the concentration of Sodium chloride increased from 2 to 5% the growth rate of all the isolates decreased. The higher the concentration of the preservatives the lower the rate of growth of the isolates. Key words: Preservatives, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Psuedomonas, Lactobacillus and Gluconobacter species 1. INTRODUCTION Fruit juice is extractable liquid naturally contained in fruit or vegetable tissue. Fruit juices are essentially products from fresh fruits such as orange, mango, pineapple, grapes etc.

  • A Beverage Company Coca-Colacompany.Com
    A beverage company Coca-colacompany.com Backgrounder The Coca-Cola Company The Coca-Cola Company began in 1886 in Atlanta, GA when Dr. John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist, created a soft drink with flavored syrup and carbonated water. Frank M. Robinson, his partner, thought of the name “Coca-Cola.” He thought that the two Cs would sound great together. Robinson also created the unique and famous script that is still used today. Coca-Cola was first sold in an Atlanta pharmacy. The popularity grew and was expanded outside of Atlanta. By 1894, Coca-Cola was distributed in bottles. In 1944, Coca-Cola became a registered trademark. The creative and distinctive Coca-Cola bottle was trademarked in 1977. From 1886 to now, Coca-Cola has the world’s most beloved beverages. Mission and Values The mission of Coca-Cola is to refresh the world, to inspire moments of optimism and happiness and to create value and make a difference. The company provides a great working environment, a quality of beverage brands, a network of customers and suppliers, and social responsibility by helping build and support sustainable communities. Coca-Cola is focused on reducing its environmental footprint and supporting active, healthy living. Coca-Cola values leadership, collaboration, integrity, accountability, passion, diversity and quality. Products Today, the Coca-Cola Company is the world’s largest beverage company. The company has more than 500 sparkling and still brands. Twenty of those are billion- dollar brands including Fanta, Sprite, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola zero, vitaminwater, POWERADE, Simply, Minute Maid, Georgia, Dasani, FUZE TEA and Del Valle.
