 INTRODUCTION
The era of cold drinks began in 1952 but
theindustrialization 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.
Now a days, it is observed in general 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 ion
etc.
These soft drinks give feeling of warmth, lightening and
have a tangy taste which is liked by everyone.

Carbon dioxide is responsible for theformation offroth

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 occurring
organiccompounds and are major source of
energy to our body. General formula of carbohydrates
isCx (H2O)y.
On the basis of their molecule size carbohydrates are
classified as:-
Monosaccharide, Disaccharides and Polysaccharides.
Glucose is amonosaccharide with formula c6H12O6.
It occurs in free State inthe ripen grapes in bones and

3
also inmany sweet fruits.
It is alsopresent in human blood to the extentof
about 0.1%. Sucrose is oneof the most useful
disaccharidesin our daily life. It is widelydistributed
in nature in juices, seeds and also in flowers of many
plants.
The main source of sucrose is sugar cane juice which
contain 15-20 % sucrose and sugar beet which has
about 10-17 %sucrose.
The molecular formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. It is
produced by a mixture of glucose and fructose. It is
non-reducingin nature whereas glucose is reducing.
Cold drinks are a bit acidicin nature and their acidity
can be measured by finding their pHvalue.
The pH values also depend upon the acidic contents
such ascitric acid and phosphoric acid.

 RESULT
After conducting several tests, it was concluded that
the different brands ofcold drinks namely:
1. Frooti
2. Thumbs up
3. Sprite
4. Appy Fizz
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 has the minimum amount of dissolved
carbon dioxide.

 CONCLUSION
DIS-ADVANTAGES OF COLD DRINKS
1. Soft drinks are little more harmful than sugar
solution. As they contain sugar in large amount which
cause problems 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 a 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.
6. Soft drinks have also ability to remove blood so they
are very harmful to our body.

USES OF COLD DRINKS
1. Cold drinks can be used as toilet cleaners.
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’ to
remove grease from
clothes.
5. They can loose a rusted bolt.
