Analysis of Some Soft drinks Samples Available in Alkoms City

Abstract

This study demonstrates the measurement of some properties in soft drink, namely pH, citric acid concentration, electrical conductivity(EC), and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), eight samples of the most consumed soft drink in the market were analyzed, the samples were local and imported in Supermarket – city Alkoms – libya, acquired results were compared with Standard Specifications ,It was noted from the results that most of the studied soft drink samples exceeded the pH values of the standard limits where the values of pH(2.76-3.71) , while the concentration of citric acid was in most of the samples within the standard limits Where the values of concentration cetric acid (894.45-3322 mg/L), while the total dissolved solids values for all samples were within the standards limits Where registered (174.00 -1089 mg/L), while some soft drink samples had electrical conductivity high, the conductivity values ranged (0.2845- 1.8115 ms.
