Introduction to Beverage Processing

Beverages are defined as any fluid consumed by drinking, derived from the Latin word "bibere" meaning "to drink".
Types of beverage products can be classified into:
- Non-alcoholic beverages
- Alcoholic beverages

Non-Alcoholic Beverages

Soft drinks are beverages intended for human consumption, either with or without dilution.
Soft drinks do not contain added alcohol and must comply with standards set in regulations 349-359.
Examples of soft drinks include fruit flavors, but exclude milk, milkshakes, vegetable juice, fruit juice, tea, coffee, chicory, and cocoa.

Alcoholic Beverages

Alcoholic beverages can be classified into:
- Distilled beverages
- Non-distilled beverages
MYS 1985 Food Regulations set standards for various types of alcoholic beverages, including:
- Perry (fruit wine prepared from pears or a combination of pears and apples)
- Vegetable wine (product of the alcoholic fermentation of vegetable juice)
- Honey wine or mead (product of the alcoholic fermentation of honey mixed with water or fruit juice)
- Beer, lager, ale, or stout (product of the alcoholic fermentation of liquid derived from a mash of malted grain with hops)
- Rice wine (product of the alcoholic fermentation of rice and other grains)
- Toddy (product obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of the sap of the coconut tree)
- Spirit (alcoholic distillate produced by the distillation of liquor)

Natural Mineral Water and Packaged Drinking Water
