    Determination of The Contents of Cold Drinks: Deepika Kumari

    Uploaded by

    Rahul Kumar
    Deepika Kumari, a 12th grade student, conducted a study to determine the contents of different brands of cold drinks. She tested samples of Coca Cola, Sprite, Limca and Fanta and found that they all contained glucose, alcohol, sucrose, phosphate and carbon dioxide. She measured the pH of each drink and found that Coca Cola was the most acidic while Limca was the least acidic. Her tests also showed that Sprite contained the highest amount of dissolved carbon dioxide while Fanta contained the lowest. Her conclusion was that while these drinks contain sugars, they may have some disadvantages due to their acidity levels.

    Purpose
    In recent days, soft drink brands were
    put into various questions regarding
    their purity. News flashed that they
    contain harmful pesticide, which
    arouse many interest in knowing its
    contents because I have been drinking
    them for years. I wanted to confirm
    that whether the charge imposed n
    these brands are true or not .Another
    fact which inspired me to do this
    project is that I am in touch with
    qualitative analysis whose knowledge
    with other factors helped me to do so.

    Introduction
    The era of cold drink began in 1952 bu
    the industrialization in India marked its
    beginning with launching of Limca and
    Goldspot by parley group of companies .
    since, the beginning of cold drink was
    highly profitable and luring, many
    multinational companies launched their
    brands in India like Pepsi and Coke.Now
    days, it is observed that majority of
    people viewed Sprite, Miranda and
    Limca to give feeling of lightness, while
    Pepsi and Thumps Up to activate pulse
    and brain.
    THEORY
    Cold drinks of different brands are composed of
    alcohol, carbohydrate, carbon dioxide, phosphate
    ions ect. These soft drinks give feeling of warmth,
    lightness, and have a tangy taste which is liked by
    everyone. Carbon dioxide is responsible for the tangy
    formation of froth on shaking the bottle . the carbon
    dioxide gas is dissolved in water to form carbonic
    acid which is responsible for the tangy taste.
    Carbohydrate are the naturally occurring and are
    major source of energy . general formula of
    carbohydrate is CX(H2O)Y. on the basis of their size
    carbohydrate are classified as monosaccharide,
    disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Glucose is a
    monosaccharide with formula C6H12O6.it occurs in
    free state in the ripen grapes in bones and also in
    many fruits . whereas sucrose is one of the most
    useful disaccharide in our daily life. The main source
    of sucrose is sugar cane . molecular formula of
    sucrose is C12H22O11 . cold drinks are bit acidic in
    nature and their acidity can be measured by findind
    pH value.

    Detection of Ph
    Experiment
    Small samples of cold drink of different brands were
    taken in a test tube and put on the pH paper. The
    change in the color of pH paper was noticed and was
    compared with the standard pH scale .

    Observation
    Sr. no. Name of Color pH reading
    drink
    1) COCACOLA PINK 2.5-3
    2) SPRITE RED 3
    3) LIMCA PINKISH 4
    4) FANTA LIGHT 3-4
    ORANGE
    Inference
    Soft drinks are generally acidic because of the presence of
    citric acid and phosphoric acid . pH values of cold drink of
    different brands are different due to the variation in
    amount of acidic contents.
    TEST FOR CARBONDIOXIDE
    EXPERIMENT
    As soon as the bottles were opened, one by one the sample
    was passed through lime water. The lime water turned
    milky.
    OBSERVATION

    Sr.No. Name of cold Time taken Conclusion


    drink
    1 COCACOLA 26.5 CO2 PRESENT
    2 SPRITE 21 CO2 PRESENT
    3 LIMCA 35 CO2 PRESENT
    4 FANTA 36 CO2 PRESENT

    INFERENCE
    All the soft drinks contained dissolved carbon dioxide in
    water. The carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water to
    form carbonic acid, which is responsible for its tangy taste.
    CHAMICAL REACTION INVOLVED
    Ca(OH)2(s)+CO(g)CaCO3(s)+H2O(s)
    TEST FOR GLUCOSE
    fehLinG’S SoLUtion teSt
    Small samples of cold drinks of different brands were taken
    in test tube and a few drops of Fehling’s A solution and
    Fehling’s B solution was added in equal amount. The test
    tube was heated in a water bath for 10 minutes.
    Appearance of brown precipitate confirmed the presence of
    glucose in cold drink.
    OBSERVATION
    Sr. Name of Observation Conclusion
    No. cold drink

    3 LIMCA REDDISH GLUCOSE IS
    BROWN ppt. PRESENT
    4 FANATA REDDISH GLUCOSE IS
    BROWN ppt. PRESENT

    INFERENCE
    All the samples gave positive test for glucose with
    Fehling’s (A&B) solutions. Hence all the cold drinks
    contain glucose.
    TEST FOR PHOSPHATE
    EXPERIMENT
    Small samples of each brand of cold drinks were taken in sepratre
    test tubes and Ammonium Molybdate followed by concentrated
    Nitric Acid (HNO3) was added to it. The solution was heated.
    Appearance of canary yellow precipitate confirmed the presence of
    phosphate ions in cold drinks.

    OBSERVATION

    No. cold drink
    1 COCACOLA CANARY-YELLOW ppt. PHOSPHATE IS
    PRESENT
    2 SPRITE CANARY-YELLOW ppt. PHOSPHATE IS
    PRESENT
    3 LIMCA CANARY–YELLOW ppt. PHOSPHATE IS
    PRESENT
    4 FANATA CANARY-YELLOW ppt. PHOSPHATE IS
    PRESENT
    INFERENCE
    All the soft drink samples gave positive test for phosphate ions.
    Hence all the cold drinks contain phosphate.

    CAMICAL REACTION INVOLVED


    NaHPO4+12(NH4)2MoO4+21HNO3+3H+(NH4)3PO4,12MoO3+2
    1HN4NO3+12H2O
    TEST FOR ALCOHOL
    EXPERIMENT
    Small samples of each brand of cold drinks were taken in
    separate test tubes and iodine followed by potassium
    Iodide and sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)solution was added
    to each test tube . Then the test tubes were heated in
    water bath for 30 minutes. Appearance of yellow colored
    precipitate confirmed the presence of alcohol in cold
    drinks .

    Observation

    3) LIMCA YELLOW ppt. ALCOHOL IS
    PRESENT
    4) FANTA YELLOW ppt. ALCOHOL IS
    PRESENT

    INFERENCE
    All the cold drinks samples gave positive test for alcohol. Hence
    all the cold contain glucose.

    Chemical reaction involved


    CH3CH2OH+ 4I2+ 6 NaOH  CHI3+HCOONa+5NaI+5H2O
    Test for sucrose
    Experiment
    5ml samples of each brand of cold drink were taken in
    separate china dishes and were heated very strongly until
    changes occur. Black colored residue left confirmed the
    presence of sucrose in cold drink.

    Observation
    SR. NO. NAME OF THE OBSERVATION CONCLUSION
    COLD DRINK
    1) COCACOLA BLACK RESIDUE SUCROSE IS
    PRESENT
    2) SPRITE BLACK RESIDUE SUCROSE IS
    PRESENT
    3) LIMCA BLACK RESIDUE SUCROSE IS
    PRESENT
    4) FANTA BLACK RESIDUE SUCROSE IS
    PRESENT
    INFERENCE
    All the brands of cold drinks contain sucrose. But amount
    of sucrose varies in each brand of drink. Fanta contains
    highest amount of sucrose .
    Result ....
    After conducting several tests, it was concluded that
    the different brands of cold drinks namely:
    1. Coca cola
    2. Sprite
    3. Limca
    4. Fanta
    All contains glucose, alcohol, sucrose, phosphate
    and carbon dioxide. All cold drinks are acidic in
    nature. On comparing the pH value of different
    brands Coca cola is the most acidic and limca is
    least acidic of all the four brands taken.
    Carbon dioxide
    Among the four samples of cold drinks taken,
    sprite has the maximum amount of dissolved
    carbon dioxide and Fanta han the minimum
    amount of dissolved carbon dioxide.
    conclusion
    disadvantages of cold drinks :
    1) Soft drinks are little more harmful than sugar solution.
    As they contain sugar in large amount which cause
    problem in diabetes patients.
    2) Soft drinks can cause weight gain as they interfere with
    the body’s natural ability to suppress hunger feeling.
    3) Soft drinks have ability to dissolve the calcium so they
    are also harmful for our bones.
    4) Soft drinks contain “phosphoric acid” which has pH of
    2.8. So they can dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
    5) for transportation of soft drinks syrup the commercial
    truck must use the hazardous matter place cards reserved
    for highly consive material .

    USeS of coLD DrinkS …


    1) Cold drinks can be used as toilet cleaner.
    2) They can remove rust spots from chrome car humpers.
    3) They clean corrosion from car battery terminals.
    4) Soft drinks are used as an excellent detergent .
