^Introduction
^The era of cold drinks began in 1952 but the industrialization in India marked its beginning with launching of Limca & Gold spot by Parley group of companies. Since, the beginning of cold drinks was highly profitable and luring, many MNC’s launched their brands in India like Pepsi & Coke. Nowadays, it is observed in general that majority of people

viewed Sprite, Fanta & Limca to give feeling of lightness while Pepsi & Thumbs up to activate pulse & brain.
TheoryCold drinks of different brands & composed of
alcohol, carbohydrates, CO2,

, etc. These soft drinks give feeling of warmth,
lightness & have a tangy taste which is liked by
everyone. CO2 is responsible for the
formation of froth on shaking the bottle. The CO2 gas is dissolve in water to
form carbonic acid which is also responsible for the
tangy taste. Carbohydrates are the naturally occurring organic compounds and r major source of energy to

our body. General formula of carbohydrates is Cx(H2O)y.
On the basis of their molecular size
carbohydrates are classified as Mono, Di &
Polysaccharides. Glucose is a monosaccharide with
formula C6H12O6.It occurs in Free State in ripens
grapes in bones & 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 & 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 is
non-reducing in nature whereas glucose is reducing. Cold drinks are a bit acidic

in nature and their acidity can be measured by finding their pH value. The pH value also depends on the acidic
behavior.

PrecautionsSome of the precautions
which need to be taken care of are :
1. Conc. Solns should be handled with immense
care.2. Hands should be washed
thoroughly after performing each
experiment.3. If possible, one should
wear hand gloves to

prevent from any possible damage.
4. If chemicals come into contact their skin or eyes, flushed immediately with copious amounts of water.5. Never leave burners
unattended. Turn them off whenever you leave your
workstation.6. Never point a test tube or any vessel that you are
heating at yourself.
Conclusion

Dis advantages of cold drinks:
1. Soft drinks are little more harmful than sugar solution. As they contain sugar in large amount which causes problems in diabetic 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 Ca so they are also harmful for our bones.
![Page 27: Investigation on cold drinks for the presence of alcohol](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061512/55cf9b32550346d033a517db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
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 conceive material.
6. Soft drinks have also ability to remove blood so they are harmful to our body.
Uses Of Cold Drinks
![Page 28: Investigation on cold drinks for the presence of alcohol](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061512/55cf9b32550346d033a517db/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
1. Cold drinks can be used as toilet cleaners.
2. They can remove rust spots from chrome car humpers.
3. They clean corrosion from car battery’s terminals.
4. They are used as an excellent detergent to remove grease from clothes.
5. They can loose a rusted bolt.
