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, ions and carbon dioxide. All are acidic in nature. On comparing the pH value of different brands coca cola is most acidic and limca is least acidic of all the four brands taken.

pH value of coca cola is nearly equal to disinfectant which is harmful for body.

CARBON DIOXIDE

AMONG THE FOUR SAMPLES OF COLD DRINKS TAKEN –SPRITE HAS MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE AND FANTA HAS 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 "diabetes".
2. Soft drinks can cause weight gain as they interfere with the body's natural ability to suppress hunger feeling.
