Abstract

In the present study we tried to find out the pH, Conductance, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Salinity, Sodium ion concentrations and Potassium ion concentrations within  some common, available and widely sold soft drinks in  India. For this purpose we had studied total 21 soft drinks among which seven are widespread selling fruit drinks. Most of them show high acidity, high conductance, high TDS and high salinity values. The sodium ion concentrations and potassium ion concentrations are significant and vary widely among these drinks.

Keywords: Physico-Chemical Parameters; Sodium; Potassium; Soft Drinks; India.
