Sweetening with Agavins: Its Impact on Sensory Acceptability, Physicochemical Properties, Phenolic Composition and Nutraceutical Potential of Oak Iced Tea.

ABSTRACT: Oak infusions enriched with agavins may offer nutraceutical benefits in the development of iced teas. This study evaluated infusions of Quercus sideroxyla and Quercus eduardii leaves formulated with different concentrations of agavins (0, 2, 6, and 10%), analyzing their physicochemical and sensory properties, chemical stability, and antioxidant capacity. The incorporation of agavins resulted in substantial modifications to physicochemical parameters, including pH, titratable acidity, and soluble solids, thereby enhancing product stability and consistency. Notable distinctions were observed between the two species with respect to their acidogenic response and soluble solid concentration. Interactions between agavins and phenolic compounds, as discerned by UPLC-PDA-ESI-MS/MS an
