Determination of acidity in soft drinks
Sparkling drinks are the main cause of increasing tooth erosion among teenagers, research suggests. One study found a strong link between fizzy drink consumption and tooth erosion.
The risk of tooth erosion was 59% higher in 12-year-olds, and 220% higher in 14-year-olds who drank fizzy drinks.
Drinking at least four glasses a day was associated with an increased risk of 252% in 12-year-olds and a massive 513% increased risk in 14-year-olds.
Many soft drinks have high levels of acidity. Titration is the most universally used technique to determine this acidity.
An auto-titrator, such as a Food Titrino from Metrohm already has the test method and all the accessories needed to carry out such a test.
The Food Titrino offers a complete package for all the usual analyses in the food industry. Apart from the 100 or so ready-to-use determination methods with detailed documentation, the titrator comes with all necessary accessories including the Ecotrode Plus electrode, electrolyte and buffer solutions.
