All bottled soft drinks contain water, flavor, sweetening, and carbon
dioxide gas. The flavors for soft drinks include ginger ale,
sarsaparilla, root beer, birch beer, chocolate, cream, colas, cherry,
wild cherry, lemon, strawberry, raspberry, orange, pineapple grape,
loganberry, apple, pear, peach, and others less widely distributed.
Nearly all bottled soft drinks are colored artificially. Sarsaparillas
ordinarily are colored with caramel, which is made by carefully heating
sugar or glucose. Sarsaparilla produces small flowers and black, blue,
or red berry-like fruits which are eaten greedily by birds. Smilax, a member of the lily family, is a genus of about 350 species, found in temperate, tropical and subtropical zones worldwide.
The plants belonging to this genus are found throughout Asia, Europe,
Oceania and the Americas.
The name sarsaparilla or zarzaparilla comes from the Spanish word
zarza (bramble or bush), parra (vine), and illa (small)—a small,
brambled vine. Sarsaparilla root was used as a general tonic by
indigenous tribes in South America, where New World traders found it and
introduced it into European medicine in the 1400s.
The roots of sarsaparilla contain a high concentration of nutrients and
organic compounds that can be added to soups, stews, herbal supplements,
drinks, and desserts.
Flavor of sarsaparilla in beverages
Technically, any liquid intended for drinking is a beverage so named by a word derived from French and Latin verbs meaning ‘to drink.’ Healthy beverages are beverages with health benefits that attribute by its nutritional value. The use of healthy beverage for promoting health and relieving symptom is as old as the practice of medicine.
