Requisitos técnicos

GB 15266-2009 establishes the essential technical requirements for sports beverages, encompassing raw materials, sensory attributes, and physicochemical parameters. A mandatory requirement is that products must not contain any prohibited substances listed in the latest version of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations. The standard specifies physicochemical limits for soluble solids, sodium, and potassium to ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance. For products requiring dilution, these limits apply after mixing according to the label instructions. Additionally, it regulates the addition of vitamins such as ascorbic acid, thiamine, and riboflavin, setting specific maximum and minimum limits for these components in ready-to-drink products. Furthermore, the standard mandates that food additives and fortifiers must comply with relevant Chinese regulations, specifically referencing GB 2760 and GB 14880. Hygiene requirements are categorized based on product state (solid or liquid) and carbonation, referencing standards like GB 7101 and GB 2759.2.

Métodos de ensayo

The standard outlines specific testing procedures to verify compliance. Sensory evaluation involves visual inspection of color and clarity, alongside odor and taste assessment at room temperature. Physicochemical testing includes methods for determining soluble solids using a refractometer, and analyzing sodium and potassium content. Vitamin content, including ascorbic acid, thiamine, and riboflavin, is tested using referenced national standards such as GB/T 5009.84 and GB/T 5009.91.
