Baidab, S.F.
In this study, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) malt extract was used to prepare carbonated beverages flavored with traditional Hulu-mur spices extract. Four varieties of sorghum grains (Tabat, Feterita, Wad Ahmed and Hageen) were malted for 3 and 5 days at room temperature (25 ± 5 deg C), kilned at 100,150 and 200 deg C for 5 to 60 minutes, extracted and carbonated to make such beverages. Feterita variety yielded the highest level of sugars (e.g. total sugars of 5.87 % and reducing sugars of 3.27%) compared to Tabat, Hageen and Wad Ahmed in 5 days malting. The kilning temperature of 150 deg C of 20 minutes were found to produce most acceptable Hulu-mur carbonated beverage analogue in terms of flavor and taste. No significant difference (P 0.05) was observed in levels of constituents (e.g. total soluble solid, total sugars) between Hulu-mur carbonated beverage analogue and a commercial non-alcoholic beverage, and in levels of pH and acidity. The Hulu-mur carbonated beverage analogue developed based on sorghum malt extract was found to be rich in Na , K , Ca and Fe (26.45 ,21.84,24.00, and 0.57 mg 1100mL , respectively) compared to levels of minerals in non-alcoholic beverage (22.31, 8.19, 22.00 and 0.15 m~100rnL , respectively ).Hulu-mur analogue was also found higher in calorific value ( 35.85 K.Cal. /l00 mL) compared to the non-alcoholic beverage (32.96 K.Cal./100 mL)
