    DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A SORGHUM TISANE by ANGELA LYNN DODD B.S., Kansas State University, 2008 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Food Science KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Fadi Aramouni Dept. of Animal Science & Industry Abstract Known for its antioxidant activity and other health benefits, tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, following water. With up to 6% (w/w) of phenolic compounds, sorghum has the highest content compared to other cereals. The objective of this research was to develop and analyze a sorghum tisane using two different red sorghum hybrids. Tisanes are herbal infusions composed of anything other than the leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. The sorghum kernel was cracked using an Allis experimental roll stand equipped with a Le Page cut mill. Samples were sifted at 180 RMP- 4” diameter throw for 2 min. The two hybrids were roasted in a Whirlpool convection oven at 212°C for 13 or 15 min. Three fruit and herbal combinations were tested to increase consumer acceptability. Samples was brewed for 4 min in 8fl.oz at 100°C. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity(ORAC) and Total Phenolic Content (TPC) were used to analyze the beverage along with chemical, physical and sensory tests. TPC results showed sorghum tisane to have 38.5±6.91 mg gallic acid equivalence/ 8fl oz. and 433.7 ±7.11 μM Trolox equivalence/ 236.6 mL (8 fl.oz, 1 cup) for an ORAC value. Fruit and herbal combinations were also added to the sorghum to increase overall consumer acceptability.

  • Clean up Your
    Clean Up Your Act Phase 1: Preparation During the week prior to starting your detox support ReSet program, you’ll want to start getting yourself ready by reducing your intake of certain substances that can be problematic if you go “cold turkey”. Titrate yourself down in doses (meaning reduce a little at a time) until you are at zero intake for the start of Phase 2. What we are intending here is to give your elimination systems a break and let them catch up. We aren’t going to overload them during a period when they are already exhausted. When we do that we risk pushing the body into both metabolic and immunologic danger zones. We will talk about each of these during class. Not all of these are problematic for regular consumption, but it’s good to take a short break from regular habits. Slowly reduce your consumption of these items so that you start Phase 2 without them. Substances Sources Substitutes caffeine (tip: either teas (green, black, Teeccino, chicory root gradually substitute decaf matcha, chai, etc), coffee, (Inka, Cafix, Pero, Kaffree or gradually swap in one of sodas, energy drinks, Roma) kombucha, maca, the listed substitutes; don’t appetite suppressants, yerba mate, any herbal tea go “cold turkey” or you some medications (like may end up with a nasty Motrin) headache; stay hydrated) alcohol (tip: drink one of beer, wine, liquor, herbal mineral water, naturally the substitutes from a tinctures, cough syrups, bubbly water, herbal tea beautiful wine glass) etc sugar (tip: if you crave table sugar, fructose whole stevia leaf (not sweet, reach for fruit.

All Rights Reserved 1 THE HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY OF MACROBIOTICS Why Look at the History of Macrobiotics? The origins of any teaching reveals a lot about the character and content of that teaching. We can learn much about the character of macrobiotics by seeing where it has come from. This allows us to put macrobiotics in context of other teachings and practices around the world, and especially at this time with modern western understandings. LAO TZU (around 604-531 BC) Lao Tzu is said to have written the Tao Te Ching, describing the creation of the universe and its workings of the relative world. Here is a translation of the first two chapters, from the book ‘The Complete Works of Lao Tzu’ by Ni Hua-Ching that is beautiful and worth a read. To give you a context to the depth of the work of field and flow In which we work in in the realm of maturation. Copyright © 2021 Nicky Clinch Ltd. All Rights Reserved 2 Macrobiotics in the West ANCIENT GREECE The word ‘macrobios’ was used to describe a natural way of living and eating to create Big Long Life – Health and Longevity “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”. Hippocrates ( 5th C BC) And there are many types of ‘food’. The environment we are in, the energy field we are living in and living from. All that we take in and absorb is some form of food.
