Abstract

Five samples were chosen to include the commonly consumed soft drinks like Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Red Bull, and Thumps up, Sprite. The estimation is performed on UV-1800 SHIMAZDU spectrophotometer controlled using the UV Probe version 2.42. It is shown from the results of this study that the concentration of caffeine in the beverage drinks obtained from the local market in Latur was significantly lower than the maximum authorized level. However since caffeine is an additive substance and because of health concerns arising from its consumption, it seems appropriate that warning labels, indication of the presence and amounts of caffeine should accompany all caffeinated beverages.
