He chose Hinano, the Tahitian name for the pandanus flower, but also a name for a vahine (woman in Polynesian). <\/p> <p><strong>What does the term \"premium\" mean?<\/strong><\/p> <p>In the United States, the term \"premium\" is used for a lager: a quality beer, with low fermentation, and generally blonde.<\/p> <p><strong>Where is Hinano beer distributed?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Hinano beer is sold throughout French Polynesia. Abroad, it is mainly distributed in France (in hypermarkets), Japan (bars and supermarkets) and in New Caledonia. <\/p> <p><strong>How can one obtain Hinano promotional items?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Hinano promotional items are distributed in French Polynesia and Hawaii. The Hinano website also does not allow online purchases at the moment. <\/p><\/li><li><h4>Soft drinks<\/h4><p><b>Is Coca-Cola sweeter in French Polynesia?<\/b><\/p> <p>Coca-Cola has the same sugar content in all countries around the world. The difference in taste that may occur comes from the type of sugar used (in this case, cane sugar, which is more flavorful). <\/p> <p><b>Can there be a form of dependence on the caffeine contained in Coca-Cola?<\/b><\/p> <p>According to the World Health Organization, there is no dependence on caffeine. Coca-Cola contains 24mg of caffeine per 240ml, which is roughly one-third of the caffeine found in a coffee. <\/p> <p><b>What is Aspartame?<\/b><\/p> <p>Aspartame is a sweetener that provides a sweet taste without any caloric content.<\/p> <p>Technically, aspartame is a protein primarily made up of aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which are also found in certain foods such as dairy products, eggs, and meat. Once consumed, aspartame is used by the body in the same way as the protein found in the aforementioned foods. <\/p> <p><b style=\"background-color: initial; color: inherit;\">Are soft drinks the cause of obesity?<\/b><\/p> <p>Obesity is linked to several factors:<\/p> <p>\u2013 A genetic predisposition&nbsp;<br>\u2013 An imbalanced diet and excessive calorie intake<br>\u2013 A lack of physical exercise<\/p> <p>A person is at a higher risk of obesity if their calorie intake exceeds their energy expenditure. To avoid the risks of obesity, it is important to prioritize an active and healthy lifestyle through a balanced diet and regular physical activity. <\/p> <p><b>Are light drinks suitable for diabetics?<\/b><\/p> <p>Yes, light drinks are suitable for diabetics because they do not contain sugar.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>Fruit juices<\/h4><p><b>What sugar is contained in fruit juices?<\/b><\/p> <p>The sugar found in fruits is fructose. It provides the same sweet taste with fewer calories and is absorbed more slowly than glucose and sucrose.<\/p> <p><b>What is the difference between 100% freshly pressed juice, 100% juice from concentrate, nectar, and a fruit drink?<\/b><\/p> <p>100% juices are directly extracted from pressed fruits, with no added ingredients, like the Pa\u00efnapo pineapple juice produced by Jus de Fruits de Moorea.<\/p> <p>Juices from concentrate are partially dehydrated for transportation and then reconstituted with the same amount of water. Their fruit content is 100%.<\/p> <p>Nectars are made from fruit pulp or pur\u00e9e to which water and sugar are added, with a fruit content ranging from 25% to 50%, depending on the type of fruit.<\/p> <p>Fruit drinks have a minimum fruit content of 10%.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>Waters<\/h4><p><b>What is the difference between natural spring water and natural mineral water?<\/b><\/p> <p>Both come from an underground water source. The only difference lies in the mineral content, which must remain constant for mineral water. <\/p> <p><b>What is a dry residue?<\/b><\/p> <p>It is the measurement of the total amount of mineral matter. This dry residue is obtained after evaporating the water at 180\u00b0C. It provides an indication of the water's mineralization level. <\/p> <p><b>What types of tests are conducted on Eau Royale and by whom?<\/b><\/p> <p>More than 5,000 microbiological and physico-chemical tests are conducted each year. Additionally, organoleptic tests (on appearance and taste) are carried out at every stage of the bottling process.
