INTRODUCTION
A cold drink a beverage that typically contains carbonated
water, a sweetener and a flavoring. The sweetener may
be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, sugar
substitutes (in the case of diet drinks) or some combination of
these. Cold drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings,
preservatives and other ingredients.
The first marketed cold drinks in the Western world appeared in
the 17th century. They were made of water and lemon juice
sweetened with honey. In 1676, the Compagnie des
Limonadiers of Paris was granted a monopoly for the sale of
lemonade soft drinks. Vendors carried tanks of lemonade on
their backs and dispensed cups of the soft drink to thirsty
Parisians.
Cold drinks can be made by mixing either a syrup or dry
ingredients with carbonated water. Carbonated water is made
using a soda siphon or a home carbonation system or by
dropping dry ice into water. Syrups are commercially sold by
companies such as Soda-Club; dry ingredients are often sold in
pouches.
The consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks is associated
with obesity, diabetes, dental caries, and low nutrient levels.
THEORY
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
occurring organic compounds and are major source of energy to
our body. General formula of carbohydrates is CX (H2O)Y.
On the basis of their molecule size carbohydrates 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 sweet
fruits. It is also present in human blood to the extent of about
0.1%.
Sucrose is one of the most useful disaccharides in our daily life.
It is widely distributed 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

EXPERIMENT: Small samples of cold drinks 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.

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