D. FANTA
 INITIATION
• A soft drink OR cold drink is a drink that usually
contains carbonated water , a sweetener, and a natural
or artificial flavoring. The sweetener may be a sugar, high-
fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, a sugar substitute , or some
combination of these. Soft drinks may also
contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives, and/or other
ingredients.

• Soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast with

"hard" alcoholic drinks Small amounts of alcohol may be
present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less
than 0.5% of the total volume of the drink in many
countries and localities if the drink is to be
considered non-alcoholic Fruit punch, tea, and other such
non-alcoholic drinks are technically soft drinks by this
definition, but are not generally referred to as such.
COCA COLA
BEST KNOWN DRINK IN THE WORLD In India, Coca-
Cola was the leading soft-drink till 1977 when the
government policies necessitated its departure. Coca-Cola
made its return to the country in 1993 and made significant
investments to ensure that the beverage is available to more
and more people, even in the remote and inaccessible parts of
the nation.

FANTA
Fanta is a brand of fruit-flavored carbonated drinks marketed globally
created by The Coca-Cola Company. There are more than 100 flavors
worldwide. Fanta originated as a Coca-Cola substitute during the
American trade embargo of Nazi Germany which affected the availability of
Coca-Cola ingredients in 1940

LIMCA
LIMCA'S FRESHNESS IS LIKE NO OTHER- 'LIME N
LEMONI' Born in 1971, Limca has remained unchallenged as
the No.1 Sparkling Drink in the Cloudy lemon Segment. The
success formula is the sharp fizz and lemoni bite combined
with the single minded proposition of the brand as the provider
of "Freshness"

SPRITE
Sprite is a colorless, caffeine-free, lemon and lime-flavored soft
drink created by The Coca-Cola Company. It was first developed in West
Germany in 1959 as Fanta Klare Zitrone (“Clear Lemon Fanta”) and was
introduced in the United States under the current brand name Sprite in
1961 as a competitor to 7 Up.

 Experiment -1
DETECTION OF PH
EXPERIMENT

Small samples of cold drinks of different brands were taken in a test

tube and put on the pH paper. The change in colour of pH paper was
noticed and was compared with standard pH scale.

INFERENCE

Soft Drinks are generally acidic because of the presence of

citric acid and phosphoric acid.
pH values of cold drinks of different
brand are different due to the variation in amount of aci
dic content.
 EXPERIMENT 2
TEST FOR CARBONDIOXIDE
EXPERIMENT
As soon as the bottles were opened, one by one the samples were
passed through lime water. The lime water turned milky.
INFERENCE

All the soft drinks contain dissolved carbon dioxide in water.

The (CO2) dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is
responsible for its tangy taste.

Chemical Reaction
Ca(OH)2 (s) + CO2 (g) → CaCO3 (s) + H2O(l)
 EXPERIMENT 3
1.Benedict’s Reagent Test
Small samples of cold drinks of different brands were taken in a test
tube and a few drops of Benedict’s reagent were added. The test
tube was heated for few seconds. Formation of reddish color
confirmed the presence of glucose in cold drinks.

INFERENCE
All the samples gave positive test for glucose with
Benedict’s reagent. Hence all the drinks contain glucose.
2. Fehling’s Solution Test
Small samples of cold drinks of different brands were
taken in a 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 water bath for 10
minutes. Appearance of brown precipitate confirmed the
presence of glucose in cold drinks.

INFERENCE
All samples gave positive test for glucose with Fehling’s
solutions. Hence all the cold drinks contain glucose.
 EXPERIMENT 4
TEST FOR ALCOHOL
Experiment

Small samples of each brand of cold drinks were tak

en 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 hot water bath for 30 minutes.
Appearance of yellow coloured precipitate confirmed
the presence of alcohol in cold drinks.
INFERNCE

All the cold drinks samples gave positive test for alcohol. Hence all the cold
drinks contain alcohol.
Chemical Reaction
CH3CH2OH + 4I2 + 6NaOH → CHI3 + HCOONa + 5NaI + 5H2O
 EXPERIMENT 5
TEST FOR SUCROSE
Experiment
5 ml samples of each brand of cold drinks were taken in
separate china dishes and were heated very strongly
until changes occur. Black coloured residue left
confirmed the presence of sucrose in cold drinks.

INFERNCE

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.

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
ILL EFFECT
• 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.
