Treatment and study plan

Apple juice

Dietary Supplement

unaltered(0% POs-Ca) commercially available apple juice

apple juice with 0.5% POs-Ca

Dietary Supplement

Phosphoryl Oligosaccharides of Calcium (POs-Ca) in the form of powder was added at concentrations of 0.5% by weight to a commercially available apple juice

apple juice with 1% POs-Ca

Dietary Supplement

Phosphoryl Oligosaccharides of Calcium (POs-Ca) in the form of powder was added at concentrations of 1% by weight to a commercially available apple juice

apple juice with 1.5% POs-Ca

Dietary Supplement

Phosphoryl Oligosaccharides of Calcium (POs-Ca) in the form of powder was added at concentrations of 1.5% by weight to a commercially available apple juice

apple juice with 2% POs-Ca

Dietary Supplement

Phosphoryl Oligosaccharides of Calcium (POs-Ca) in the form of powder was added at concentrations of 2% by weight to a commercially available apple juice

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale of taste palatability

    Time frame: At time when the subjects have finished drinking, an expected average of 10 minutes

    Tasters were first asked to drink the unaltered (0% POs-Ca) juice, to get familiar with the taste.

    After that they drank each of the 5 juices in a random order, and evaluated the taste by marking an analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100 which was printed horizontally on a sheet of paper.
