Phosphate in cola drinks
Summary
Cola drinks (also known as soft drinks) contain a high amount of phosphoric acid. Quality control of these beverages includes determining the phosphate content. Phosphate analysis also indicates the dilution factor of the phosphate concentrate during cola processing. Achieving proper dilution of the concentrates is in the best interest of soft drink producers and bottling companies to ensure the highest quality beverages are made for consumers.
