In this study, honey from stingless bees was put into juice pearls made with a Juice Pearl Kit. The study looked at how these stingless bee honey pearls relate to commercial bee honey and stingless bee honey in terms of the nutrients they contain. Energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, dietary fibre, calcium, sodium, vitamin C, and sucrose levels were tested using AOAC standard methods and in-house methods, which are the same methods used to analyse pre-mixed powders.
Here are the steps to produce liquids into pops of flavors based on stingless bee honey by using Juice Pearl Kit:
- Prepare the AlgiBath solution.
● Fill a bottle with 400 mL of water.
● Add the AlgiBath powder and shake until dissolved.
● Let the solution sit for 30 minutes. - Prepare the CalciGum solution.
● Mix the CalciGum powder with 140-150 mL of your favorite beverage.
● Heat the mixture briefly over medium heat, stirring constantly.
● Do not let the mixture boil. - Form the juice pearls.
● Pour the AlgiBath solution into a container.
● Fill a syringe with the CalciGum solution.
● Drop the CalciGum solution into the AlgiBath solution, one drop at a time.
● The juice pearls will form around the drops of CalciGum solution.
● Let the juice pearls sit in the AlgiBath solution for 2 minutes.
- Harvest the juice pearls.
● Pour the juice pearls and the AlgiBath solution into a strainer.
● Rinse the juice pearls with cold water.
● The juice pearls are now ready to use.
Here are some additional tips for making juice pearls:
● Use a variety of beverages to create different flavors of juice pearls.
● Add food coloring to the CalciGum solution to create colored juice pearls.
● For larger juice pearls, use a tablespoon to drop the CalciGum solution into the AlgiBath solution.
● Juice pearls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
