The Amount Of Sugar On A Carbonated Beverage

In my experiment, I was trying to find the answer for my main question which is, what drinks out of Coke, Diet Coke, Red Bull, Gatorade, and Sunny D will have the highest glucose concentration level after adding the enzyme, invertase? I chose this experiment because when I first looked into the topic, it got me really interested learning about the role of enzymes in our body and the different types of sugars and how they fluctuate our blood glucose levels. I decided to do this project since I thought that many people could learn and benefit from my information and I would also enjoy doing it. My experiment consisted of me taking five different drinks and using glucose urine test strips, to test the amount of glucose present in these drinks before and after adding invertase.

The materials used during the experiment included three plastic cups, three gummy bears, masking tape, marker, balance, calculator, tray, one plastic spoon, a measurement tray, and a ruler. The three plastic cups were used to hold the tap water, salt water, and sugar water. The masking tape and marker were used to label each cup with the

The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for Genetically Modified Organisms, and this refers to any products that have been manipulated or altered at the gene level.

Procedure: Measure the volume, mass, length and temperature of a variety of items. Create dilution of sugar water.

Weigh the beaker with water in it, record this value in Data Table 1 and subtract the mass of the beaker to get the mass of the water. Record this value in Data Table 1.

Directions: Design your own experiment to test some variable of the Diet Coke and Mentos lab. Identify one variable that you will change and test – this will be your Independent Variable.

Using Benedict's testing on our food items, we tested for simple sugars. Six clean test tubes were labeled individually with each testing food item plus one negative control test tube. Solutions of each food item in the quantity of one full dropperful was added to each labeled test tube and one full dropperful of water was added to the control tube.

The purpose of this lab was to investigate the amount of sugar in carbonated beverages by using the density of solutions, and also to create a standard curve with the percent sugar in sugar solutions.

Most people think that obesity is a choice well, the New York City Health Department doesn’t think so. As of Thursday, the New York Health Department became the first in the nation to ban the sale of sugared beverages larger than 16oz. at restaurants, mobile food carts, sports arenas and movie theaters (Park). The New York Health Department feels that they need to start to make a change against how people have their diets so people aren’t as lazy and have more motivation. This is important, because if people have more motivation to do certain activities such as cleaning, playing with their children, going out of the house, as long with much more that they cannot do as an obese person. As people can see, most people who are active and eat healthy have a good life style and tend to live longer as well. This ban against sugared beverages would prevent retailers who sell prepared food from also dispensing sugared beverages.

The purpose of this lab was to test and see if honey, egg, saltine, and hamburger where either positive or negative for sugar, starch, lipids, or proteins. What I know about scientific concepts is a law that explains why something happens. An example would be an apple falling off a tree, tis explains our law of gravity. The scientific concepts of this lab according

ii. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the percentage of sugar content in beverages.

After eating the cracker, the participant drank the cup with the odd number first. It was instructed to drink the beverage slowly, so that they can focus on the taste and other characteristics of the drink. After finishing the first drink, questions 7a, 7b, and 7c were answered on the Cola Rating Sheet. Next, the participants ate the second saltine cracker to clean their palate and prevent the carry-over effect. The second beverage was consumed in a slow motion in order to pay attention to the taste and compare it to the first beverage. The remaining questions 8a, 8b, 8c, and 9 were answered on the Cola Rating Sheet. Then, the professor revealed the correct answers on the projector screen and the participants discovered if their predictions on the Cola Rating Sheet were correct. Lastly, the professor collected all of the materials and surveys from the participants in the interest of seeing the gathered data from the

Cans of regular soda are more dense because more sugar is added to them, the diet or no sugar sodas float because they use less fake sweetener, more grams of sugar and in regular sodas than the milligrams in diet sodas.

The tubes are removed using a clamp and the concentration of maltose is compared using the following scale: red (+++), orange-yellow (++), green (+), blue (-).
