AVALIAÇÃO DE FOSFATO EM REFRIGERANTES COMO POTENCIAL CAUSADOR DE HIPERFOSFATEMIA POR SOBRECARGA EXÓGENA DO ÍON POLIATÔMICO

Abstract

The soda is one of the most consumed products in Brazil. Because it contains phosphate ions in the composition, uncontrolled intake of the phosphorus mineral can cause hyperphosphatemia. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate phosphate in soft drinks of different types and to investigate if they are suitable to be consumed according to the daily recommendation with the aid of the visible spectrophotometry technique for non-alcoholic beverages. According to the results, only guaraná type soda has been in compliance with current legislation, which allows up to 0.07% phosphate, and safe for daily intake for healthy adults. Already the cola-type soda resulted in total disagreement with legislation and completely unsuitable for
