COMPARATIVE STUDY AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT BRANDS OF COLD DRINKS AVAILABLE IN MARKET.

Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this experiment is to use both cabbage juice and pH paper to determine the pH of household items. This way, we can tell which products are basic and which one are acidic. If we use cabbage juice as an universal pH indicator by comparing it to pH paper then pH determined by the cabbage juice will be unstable because by using cabbage juice, it can be different depending on how diluted it is.

The soft-drink industry capitalizing on creating the best product. Each product has a different taste, formula, and color to entice the consumer. It is important for the product to remain innovative in order to keep the consumers interested. The suppliers can easily differ, because they do not hold much value or put

The concentration of glucose in Gatorade was analyzed with a calibration curve, and to insured the best fit was used all R2 were of 0.99 or better (Figure 1). The calibration curve created with data of samples 1 to 7, with glucose concentration that ranged from 0.1mM to 0.06mM (Table 1). The calibrated samples were made with known glucose and to attain the concentration of glucose, specific enzymes that react with ferrocyanide and glucose were used. The first reaction of glucose oxidase, O2 and glucose were bind to create beta D-glucolactone and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide with a 1:1 stoiquiometric ration to glucose is catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase to Ferrocyanide. (lab manual) The final product of the enzymes catalysis is

“when water underground comes in contact with a source of carbon, such as limestone” (sciencebuddies.org) soda pop is a sweet tasty thing for the taste buds and even though it’s not the best for people scientist believe it is good for your taste buds and throat because its cold and soothing that’s why if one is sick or have a upset stomach certain soda will make one feel better. Because of the fizz in it and coolness it will

The purpose of this experiment was to mix Alka-Seltzer with Hydrochloric acid in order to analyze Sodium Bicarbonate as an active ingredient in the Alka-Seltzer. The mixture will contain hydrochloric acid to only see the composition of Sodium Bicarbonate in the tablet once it reacts. The amount that reacted allowed us to determine how much of it is present in the tablet. The amount of sodium bicarbonate will be measure by using the ideal gas law PV=nRT. The experiment will be conducted in the lab, therefore we are going to use room temperature which ranges from 15 to 26 degrees celsius. At room temperature pressure ranges from 12.8 to 25.0 millimeters mercury according to its corresponding room temperature.In the ideal gas equation R is 0.08206latm/mol k which is a constant. Once we have those values we can calculates the number of moles that reacted in the mixture by solving for the missing value. With the number of moles we are able to find the mass in grams which is what will potentially tell us the composition of Sodium Bicarbonate in a tablet of Alka-Seltzer.

Sports drinks contain ingredients which have raised health concerns. The main ingredients in sports drinks are glucose, sucrose, and fructose or high-fructose corn syrup. (Insidetracker.com, 2012) Gatorade’s Glacier Cherry Perform drink, contain 41g of sugar per serving, which is equivalent to 10 teaspoons of sugar. (Griffith-Greene, 2014) Although sugar is necessary for the drink to taste good, sugar can have long term effects on your health. Too much sugar can over time lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and weight gain. (Hagy, 2007) As well as sugar, the acidity in sports drinks can dissolve teeth. These drinks are often full of sugar and sodium, which cling to the teeth, and eat away the protective enamel. People, who is drinking sports drinks, are often dehydrated, meaning they are low on fluids. Being low on fluids, affects the saliva production in the mouth, which protects the teeth by washing away products which cling to them. Being low on fluids means that there is less saliva to wash away

Title: Using pHydrion paper to test the pH of vinegar, distilled water, laundry detergent, milk, NaOH, Mr. Clean, Baking Soda, Ammonia, 7up, Gatorade, and 4 unknown substances.

In the first part, the production of CO2 gas from sodium bicarbonate and HCl supported the concept that carbonates produce CO2 when reacted with acids. Additionally, the idea of acidity and basicity were confirmed when sodium bicarbonate, which consists of the conjugate acid of a strong base and the conjugate base of a weak acid, yielded a basic pH upon the addition of water. Part two and chromatography utilized the idea of intermolecular forces and attractions to separate out the various substances. Aspirin was the most attracted to the eluent, as it moved up the quickest, while the unknown and caffeine were much slower and stayed near the bottom of the

The concentration of sugars in two well-known sports drinks, Powerade and Gatorade, were determined by monitoring an enzyme-catalysed reaction sequence involving the appearance of NADPH. Sucrose and glucose concentrations were calculated from the concentration of NADPH formed by the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+. Spectrophotometric absorbance readings were taken at 340nm, this is because NADPH absorbs strongly at this wavelength, whilst NADP+ does not (1015MSC, 2010). The concentration of glucose and sucrose in

Close with Impact: Hopefully this has helped you understand just how bad soda is to your health and why you shouldn’t drink it, and hopefully all of you will decide to make the

Vinegar was used in this experiment to mimic the stomach acid that reacts with the sodium bicarbonate in the Alka-Seltzer tablet. Limiting reactants relate to this lab by the sodium bicarbonate reacting with the stomach acid. Once the stomach acid, vinegar in this lab, was reacted, the sodium bicarbonate no longer was secreted. Increasing amounts of vinegar was added to the tablet to determine a point at which the sodium bicarbonate becomes the limiting

By using acid-base titration, we determined the suitability of phenolphthalein and methyl red as acid base indicators. We found that the equivalence point of the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was not within the ph range of phenolphthalein's color range. The titration of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide resulted in an equivalence point out of the range of methyl red. And the titration of ammonia with hydrochloric acid had an equivalence point that was also out of the range of phenolphthalein.. The methyl red indicator and the phenolphthalein indicator were unsuitable because their pH ranges for their color changes did not cover the equivalence points of the trials in which they were used. However, the

The new products division of Palmer Jackson, Inc., a Cincinnati-based food and beverages manufacturer, successfully perfect a technique for dissolving common antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Selenium into high-glucose beverages. As a result a new line of sports beverages with added benefit of antioxidants occur. Palmer Jackson hired AccuityBrand, a brand consultancy specializing in developing product names and logos, to name and develop creative

The pertaining research involves the electrolytes in drinks. “Electrolyte” will be defined and its description of what they do, what they are, and how they help people will be further explained. The intention is to establish the efficiency of sports drinks and orange juice and then compare them. The pros and cons of both the orange juice and sports drinks will be elucidated through the research. Other drinks consumed after exercise will also be researched and their efficiency will be explained.

Branding has been effectively used as a strategic tool for marketing by innocent smoothies and that helps the company to maintain its share in the market or in keeping its competitive position. Innocent has developed its brand image by providing excellent satisfaction, by being genuine, healthy and socially responsible in the eyes of their consumers and once the image is developed, they were able to attract the customers. It is because of brand and its perceived value that consumers are loyal and committed to the Innocent products and they do not look for any substitutes (Ginden, 1993). Customers also perceive it less risky in buying a brand product with which they are emotionally attached. It is more important for products like innocent drinks which the customers have to consume and which has direct impact on their health and body.
