Until that time, bad breath was not conventionally considered such a catastrophe. But Listerine changed that. As the advertising scholar James B. Twitchell writes, “Listerine did not make mouthwash as much as it made halitosis.” In just seven years, the company’s revenues rose from $115,000 to more than $8 million.”…

    The main strong point of this study is that it astutely compares the difference between the effect of consumption natural sugar and artificial sweeteners on the tooth. Additionally, the study has obviously demonstrated the mechanism of tooth protection from decay by consuming artificial sweeteners. It is also explained that the natural sugars stick to the tooth enamel, then the bacteria feed the consumed sugar converting it into acidic substance. As a result, the acidic material could tear the tooth structure and lead to cavities. Conversely, bacteria have no ability to ferment artificial sweeteners into acid, because sugars have a different chemical structure from artificial sweetener.

    Commercial mouthwashes are mixtures of water, alcohol, dyes, flavorings, and other compounds. In this experiment, you will use gas chromatography to determine the alcohol content of the mouthwash. Since the volumes of alcohol and water are not additive when mixed, a calibration curve must be used. It will provide the correction factor needed for alcohol-water mixtures. The calibration curve will be prepared by placing a known amount of alcohol in an alcohol-water mixture. The observed percentage of alcohol will be plotted against the true percentage of alcohol.…
