Abstract:
This research is for to estimate the concentration of caffeine in soft drinks and energy drinks. In pure form, caffeine is a crystalline white powder moderately soluble in water and in a wide range of organic solvent such as ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol, dichloromethane, chloroform etc. The caffeine is determined by using UV-Visible spectroscopy method using dichloromethane as an extracting solvent at 273nm wavelength. The method was found to be fast, simple, cost effective and environmental friendly for the determination of caffeine in soft drinks with satisfactory results. Caffeine is found in many beverages such as coffee, tea, energy drinks and cola, which make the drinks addictive. Caffeine content in various energy drinks and beverage varies from 10 to 50 mg of caffeine per serving; however the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 2006) limits the maximum amount in carbonated beverages to 6 mg/oz. Large amount of caffeine consumption can cause physiological and psychiatrically dependence. The aim of this study is to determine the concentration of caffeine in soft drinks and energy drinks brands available in India to ensure whether the caffeine concentration in the follow soft drinks & energy drinks as per FDA recommendation or not. And other purpose of this research is to find erosion property of caffeine by determining buffer capacity. This research also helps to identify purity of caffeine by TLC (By measuring Rf value of sample compared with standard caffeine).
