IN244380: A process for the preparation of ready-to-drink carbonated beverage from red beet

This invention relates to a process for the preparation of ready-to-drink carbonated beverage from red beet. Use of fruit and vegetable juices in the preparation of carbonated beverages was practically negligible till very recently, although large quantities of aerated waters, ice-sherbets and synthetic drinks containing sweetening agents like saccharin, are consumed all over the country. The synthetic beverages have practically very little or no nutritive value. If real fruit and vegetable juices are popularized instead, the nutritive value of this beverage could be increased considerably, which is a highly desirable objective.
