An investigation into the total acid content of assorted brands of lemon and lime soft drink
Abstract:
The aim of this experiment was to determine the total levels of carbonic acid concentration in 3 differing brands of lemon and lime soft drinks.
Research Question:
Does the acid content in three different lemon and lime flavoured soft drink brand differ significantly?
The purpose of this investigation is to calculate the total acid content within different brands of lemon and lime soft drink, to make judgments on the acidity differences in each brand.
Hypothesis:
The soft drink that contains the highest percentage of carbonic acid, such as Mountain Dew, will have the highest concentration.
Explanation of hypothesis:
It can be presumed that Mountain dew contains the highest concentration of carbonic acid as it contains more ingredients and flavourings to contribute to its taste. One of these ingredients is concentrated oranges juice which in turn contains more acid.
Introduction:
The acid quantity in many foods and drinks are a significant factor in terms of the products taste. Soft drinks are a common carbonated beverage that contains varying levels of different mixtures of acids, such like; citric acid, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid, malice acid and many more (REFERENCE). The succession of carbonated products is largely due to the addition of high levels of sweeteners within the products that may vary from high fructose corn syrup, fruit juice and sugars.
Companies in the production of making favourable soft drinks aim for the better tasting product, to which society would most prefer and incidentally buy in preference to oth-er soft drinks. This is therefore achieved by manufactures deliberately increasing the sugar and acid content within carbonated beverages to enhance the taste, texture and flavouring of soft drink. Carbonic acid is a very common ingredient used in almost all soft drinks. Essentially, carbonic acid is
