The era of cold drinks began in 1952 but the industrialization in India marked its beginning with launching of Limca and Goldspot by parley group of companies. Since the beginning of cold drinks was highly profitable and luring, many multinational companies launched their brands in India like Pepsi and Coke. Cold drinks of different brands are composed of alcohol, carbohydrates, carbon dioxide, phosphate ions etc. These soft drinks give feeling of warmth, lightness and have a tangy taste, which is liked by everyone. Carbon dioxide is responsible for the formation of froth on shaking the bottle. The carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in water to form carbonic acid, which is also responsible for the tangy taste. Carbohydrates are the naturally …show more content…

The soda that when you guzzle it, the great flavor fills your taste buds and the bubbles of carbonation explode in your mouth leaving a savory taste in your mouth. Dr Pepper is a very popular soda, that is apart of the Pepsi family. Dr Pepper is in stores all around, and is very popular, so not knowing about it, you'll stand out, but don't worry for reading this will inform you of Dr Pepper. This paper contains writing about the history of Dr Pepper such as; when it came to the world, how it was made, who made it, how has it changed, the flavors of it, and how/what are they, the company, doing now, in 2016.
There are three main types of sports drinks; Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic. A hypotonic drink will contain a lesser concentration of sugars and electrolytes in comparison with a human body - meaning it would be absorbed faster than water. They contain more solvent than solute, meaning it would be less concentrated than inside of a cell. Most sports drinks are classified as Isotonic, meaning the concentration of electrolytes is similar to that found inside the cells, it will be absorbed at the same rate as water. These drinks contain equal amounts of solute and solvent, meaning it will be equal to that inside a cell. And lastly Hypertonic, there are were the concentrate is greater than that found in a human's body fluids. Hypertonic drinks are the slowest rate of absorption but offer the highest dosage of energy out of the three. This drink contains more solute than solvent, resulting in a more concentrated solution.
Potassium permanganate test is performed to see the presence of alcohol in this experiment. Five solutions were tested and out of all of them, aqueous methanol and solutions 4 and 6 changed color during the test, meaning that those solutions contained alcohol. Fresh aqueous aspartame and water do not contain alcohol, which is why we saw no color change. Solutions 4 and 6 were hydrolyzed aspartame and diet soda, respectively, under different conditions, and methanol is a product of hydrolysis.
In order to understand the dangers of sugary drinks and foods, an explanation of their contents is necessary. These drinks and foods are composed of high carbohydrate-content, which is responsible for energy pr...
Carbonated water accounts for up to 94% of a soft drink. This gives soda its’ fizz or bubbles. Sugar is the second main ingredient and can make up six to twelve percent of the soft drink. The sugar balances the flavor and acids and is very important to the taste.
We are all aware of sugar, the sweet delicious substance commonly used in food and beverages, but table sugar is not the only sugar there is. There are many artificial sugars that many people now-a-days aren’t aware of. In this research paper I will be identifying four different types of synthetic sugars which are: Saccharin, Aspartame, Sucralose, and Sodium cyclamate. Synthetic sugars, or artificial sweeteners, have both positive and negative effects that can either make a big impact in our body or a small impact. Synthetic sugars can be used in many ways but are most commonly used in regular everyday foods and beverages or they can be mixed with other artificial sweeteners. Synthetic sugars tend to look very similar to real sugar so sometimes it may be hard to distinguish them with the naked eye.
The soft drink industry in the United States is a highly profitably, but competitive market. In 2000 alone, consumers on average drank 53 gallons of soft drinks per person a year. There are three major companies that hold the majority of sales in the carbonated soft drink industry in the United States. They are the Coca Cola Company with 44.1% market share, followed by The Pepsi-Cola Company with 31.4% market share, and Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. with 14.7% market share. Each company respectively has numerous brands that it sales. These top brands account for almost 73% of soft drink sales in the United States. Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. owns two of the top ten brands sold. Colas are the dominant flavor in the U.S carbonated soft drink industry; however, popularity for flavored soft drinks has grown in recent years. The changing demographics of the U.S population have been an important factor in the growing popularity of these flavored soft drinks. The possible impact of this factor will be addressed later in the case.
Reconsidering the use of Soda? What is a soft drink? As defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a soft drink is “a usually carbonated nonalcoholic beverage; especially soda pop” (“Soft Drink”). Why is it called this? Soft drinks are a term that differentiates from alcoholic drinks that are called non-alcoholic drinks.
Out of all the organic compounds, few spark as much attention as alcohol. Alcohol is complex and volatile, when referring to alcoholic beverages it is known as ethanol. Pure ethanol in its most basic state has the molecular formula C2H6O. Ethanol is a toxin to the human body and when concentrations peak to a dangerous level the body induces vomiting. Vomiting is a primary defense against many ingestible poisons. Ethanol is a clear and odorous liquid that affects living organisms by acting as a lipid solvent. If alcohol is consumed in a moderate fashion it can produce a euphoric feeling. Once the level of moderation is broken and access alcohol accumulates in the blood stream the euphoric feeling can dissipate and leave the drinker feeling poorly. One single standard drink is equal to 13.7 grams. Many standard drinks are mixed with sugars, flavoring, and further diluted with water. The national recommendation for alcoholic beverages is two or fewer drinks for an adult male or one or fewer drinks for an adult woman in a twenty four hour period. From a health standpoint drinking within the national recommendations can help reduce the harmful bacteria Helicobacter pylori that have been known to create stomach ulcers. Drinking in moderation has also been linked to reduced chance of stroke, type two diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. A common position on alcohol is that it can increase the chances of cancers located in the throat, colon and rectum, prostate gland, stomach, esophagus, and many other anatomical locations.
Alcohol is an ethanol containing substance that is a common beverage in many social and private settings. Alcohol is also a teratogen, therefore alcohol co...
We all enjoy a sugary drink every now and again,some more than others. Have you ever wondered how this affects your teeth. All major liquid drinks have some type of sugar in it,whether it is sugar or a sugar base. The project that was experimented with is the effect of sugary drinks on the teeth.
Beverages are divided into diet category, 100% fruit juices, fruit drinks, water, energy drinks, tea and coffee etc. Coca-Cola is the leading provider of soft drinks in the world. It not only has the No. 1 selling soda with regular Coke, but its Diet Coke brand outpaced Pepsi for second billing. Within the pop category, Coca-Cola has a number of brand variants, including Dr Pepper and Sprite. The company also produces fruit juices and sports drinks. Emphasis on the soft drink industry, though, has contributed to Coca-Cola 's ability to distinguish itself as a quality provide. Coca cola has its market presence around 200 countries. Every year, The Coca-Cola Company launches hundreds of new products to meet the ever-changing tastes of consumers around the world. In 2014 alone, the company launched more than 450 new products. These recently launched beverages cover a wide selection of categories, including sparkling (Sprite Cranberry, a seasonal drink sold in North America), ready-to-drink coffee (a new offering from the popular Japanese brand Georgia), juice drinks (del Valle Peach Nectar from Brazil and Minute Maid Pulpy Pear from China), enhanced water (Aquarius Delight from Argentina) and a new beverage made from organic fruit (ViO Bio Limo from
...man body, people should consume regular soda without the artificial sweeteners if there way no way to avoid soda at all. Nowadays, there are so many other ingredients than artificial sugars that cause harm to the human body, so it is extremely important to at least get rid of artificial sugar in your diet. Although many people skip the whole process of checking the ingredient label, It is important to check to make sure that they don’t contain any artificial sugars or any other harmful ingredients. There are many substitutes to avoid using processed sugars or artificial sweeteners, such as using raw honey or maple syrup in your food. The powerful food industry will not educate the general public on the risks of consuming the artificial sugars, so it is the responsibility of the consumers to be aware of what’s in their foods to find a path to a healthier lifestyle.
Alcohol is a class of organic compounds that is characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to a carbon atom. Alcohol was unknowingly produced centuries ago when fermentation occurred to crushed grapes (Pines, 1931). In today’s society alcohol is produced for the use of household products such as varnishes, cleaning products, but is more commercially important in the liquor business. A chemical process called fermentation accomplishes the production of ethanol, the alcohol or liquor. From there, the ethanol goes through distinct processes to become the dark and clear liquors on the store shelves.
