Biologically significant ion concentrations and physico-chemical parameters of eight packed beverages available in India

In this work we had studied Amul Tulsi Doodh, Amul Ginger Doodh, Paper Boat Alphonso Mango, Red Bull Yellow edition, Red Bull Sugar free, B Natural Cloudy Apple, B Natural Orange and B Natural Litchi drinks. We had studied physico-chemical parameters like pH, Salinity, TDS, Conductance and biologically significant ions like sodium, potassium, calcium, nitrate, ammonium and chloride. Milk products are less acidic and have high TDS, salinity and conductance. B Nautural products have relatively low conductance, salinity and TDS. Calcium content is much higher in Amul ginger doodh and Amul tulsi doodh. Nitrate concentration is greater than 20000 mg/lit in Paper Boat Alphonso Mango and B Natural Litchi drink. High chloride concentrations (>2000 mg/lit) are found within Amul ginger doodh and B Natural orange.
