Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| pH of Saliva at baseline. All subjects in all groups collects the unstimulated saliva in a sterile glass dish for the measurement of baseline pH of the saliva. The subject will give the saliva sample just before being exposed to the test mixed fruit juice by swishing 100ml of Tropicana® Mixed Fruit Juice in mouth for 2 minutes and then drinking it The outcome accessor is blinded to origin of sample (from which group).Timepoint: pH of Saliva at baseline.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| pH of Saliva 5 minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice. All subjects will be given 100 ml of test mixed fruit juice, Tropicana® Mixed Fruit Juice to drink. The subject will sip, swish and swallow the drink within 2 minutes. Five minutes after this, each subject will give unstimulated saliva in a sterile dish for measurement of saliva - 5minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice. The outcome accessor is blinded to the origin of sample (from which group).Timepoint: 5 minutes;pH of Saliva 15 minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice All subjects will give unstimulated saliva in a sterile dish for measurement of saliva -15minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice. The outcome accessor is blinded to the origin of sample (from which group).Timepoint: 15 minutes;pH of Saliva 30 minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice All subjects from all six (5 test and 1 comparator) groups will perform the assigned intervention as per schedule at time 15minutes post exposure to mixed fruit juice and shall give unstimulated saliva in a sterile dish for measurement of saliva -30minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice or in other words 15minutes after assigned intervention. The outcome accessor is blinded to the origin of sample (from which group).Timepoint: 30 minutes;pH of Saliva 45 minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice All subjects from all six (5 test and 1 comparator) groups will perform the assigned intervention as per given schedule at time 15minutes post exposure to mixed fruit juice and shall give unstimulated saliva in a sterile dish for measurement of saliva -45minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice or in other words 30minutes after assigned intervention. The outcome accessor is blinded to origin of sample (from which group).Timepoint: 45 minutes;pH of Saliva 60 minutes after exposure to test mixed fruit juice All subjects from all six (5 test and 1 comparator) groups will perform the assigned intervention | — |
