A functional beverage of adaptogenic action based on plant raw materials was developed using dry plant extracts of Centella asiatica and Hoodia gordonii to impart functional and biologically active properties. An organoleptic analysis, namely, the free profiling method, was used to compose the beverage recipe. Based on the constructed profilograms, the optimal ratio of the blend of juices and teas, which is 1: 0.65, was chosen. In beverage, the basic physicochemical parameters of the finished functional drink are determined, such as: solids content, total (titratable) acidity, hydrogen index (pH) of coloring substances (anthocyanins), macronutrients (Na, K, Mg, Ca) and trace elements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn). In accordance with the requirements of the technical regulation of Customs Union 021 “On Food Safety”, the adaptogenic beverage was tested for the content of toxic elements: arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg). As a result, the content of toxic elements doesn’t exceed the maximum permissible concentration. In the scientific work, we determined the shelf life of a functional beverage of adaptogenic and anti-alcohol action. Using the accelerated shelf life testing method (ASLT), which is based on the Arrhenius model, we determined the shelf life of the beverage = 3.7 months.
