Assessment of caffeine, trace metals, and associated health risks in popular carbonated and energy drinks in Bangladesh using advanced analytical techniques
In this study, the concentrations of caffeine and trace metals in 20 popular soft drinks (carbonated and energy drinks) brands consumed in Bangladesh were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, respectively, to evaluate potential health risks associated with their consumption. Also, physicochemical parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids (TDS) and conductivity were determined. The levels of caffeine in soft drink samples varied from ND (<1 mg/L) to 150.9 mg/L with an average of 120.0 mg/L. The mean concentration (µg/L) of As, Se, Pb, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn, Hg, Be, V, Al and Fe detected in carbonated and energy drinks were (3, 2), (1, 1), (257, 249), (4, 4), (3, 2), (72, 26), (132, 63), (166, 61), (76, 52), (2330, 3195), (7, 5), (0.3, 0.2), (2, 2), (1520, 1437) and (5648, 2608), respectively. The pH, TDS and conductivity of the samples varied from 2.90 ± 0.05–4.80 ± 0.05, 275–1694 mg/L, and 361–3300 μS/cm. The levels of Pb, Hg and Fe exceeded the safe limit in both carbonated and energy drink samples. Target hazard quotient and total hazard quotient were found to be less than 1 for all soft drink samples, indicating tolerable risk for human health.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
