Actual (reported)Bubble tea drinks contain tea and tapioca pearls. Chewing tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks may increase salivary components. Because of its proteins, inorganic components, and enzymes, saliva plays an important role in the body's defense against bacteria and viruses. This study aims to analyze the effect of chewing the tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks on salivary C-reactive protein (CRP) and calcium (Ca) levels.

Actual (reported)Salivary C-reactive protein (CRP) level
Salivary CRP level was measured on the first day before chewing tapioca peals in the bubble tea drinks and drink tea. Salivary CRP level was measured on the third day after drink bubble tea and tea without tapioca pearls
3 days
Calcium (Ca) level
3 days
In the first week, the subjects drink as much as 100 ml of bubble tea over a span of 5 minutes once a day for 3 days
In the second week, the subjects drink tea without tapioca pearls as much as 100 ml for 5 minutes per day for 3 days.
Saliva was collected on the first day before bubble tea consumption (pretest) and on the third day after bubble tea consumption (posttest); collection was conducted in the morning (09:00 a.m.-12.00 p.m.).
