I. Introduction Caffeine as we all know is a kind of stimulant in our central nervous system and classified as methylxanthine. It also stimulates some other parts of our autonomic nervous system. This substance was mainly found in the seeds or leaves of a certain plant. A well known example of this plant is the coffee bean. Thus, to calculate the caffeine content of soft drinks, we may use the process of HPLC. And as we define HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography) and formerly known as high pressure liquid chromatography, is a classical quantitative analysis method by which we use pump in a pressurized liquid to extract the mixture and get the sample of caffeine content of soft drinks. Through this method we will able to analyze the caffeine contain. There are disadvantage and advantage of having caffeine in soft drinks by ingesting it. It brings alertness and awakens our system and repel adenosine …show more content…

Then in the mobile phase is mostly where the carrier is preventive. And it is liquid because it carries all the dissolve materials we are conducting and separate from each other. Thus in this process we can identify the caffeine content of the soft drinks. Next is the stationary phase that can be either a solid or liquid. An example of solid is silica beads. But here we use a liquid sample. Then the characteristicis classified to polar and nonpolar. We separate these to know the chemical compunds of the our sample soft drinks. For us to determine the caffeine e in soft drinks. Next we will go to the separation mechanism that is shown in. figure 2.1 (The HPLC system). We start in the mobile phase and ends to a detector where in these detectors is connected to a computer. Then this computer it in a graph (see figure 2.2) to show our sample soft drinks caffeine level content which has a chemical name of

Introduction Metabolism is the sum of all anabolic and catabolic reactions within a living organism to sustain life. The energy required to perform these reactions is provided by oxygen in the form of ATP, therefore the oxygen consumption rate can be measured to determine the metabolic rate. Since oxygen is obtained through respiration, the efficiency of an organism’s respiratory system affects its metabolism. Previous studies have shown that caffeine affects the human respiratory center and occasionally dilates bronchus. It can thus stimulate human respiration and increase the metabolic rate (Haggins et al, 1915).

After the experiment is completed the pure caffeine that is left is from isolating compounds from natural sources. The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to purify compounds as well as isolate compounds based on certain techniques. Caffeine, an alkaloid which acts as a stimulant, was isolated from the natural product of tealeaves whether is be solvent extraction/isolation and or sublimation. By completing these steps the impurities of the original caffeine is being left behind and giving a more accurate and more pure substance of caffeine. Although in order to get the pure substance of caffeine, the chamber is highly dependent on vapor pressure inside and outside the glass.

A Critical Analysis and Evaluation of Caffeine Use Disorder Caffeine is one of the most consumed substances in the world and it was estimated that 90% of the United States population consume caffeine regularly (Frary, Johnson, & Wang, 2005) and on average the typical caffeine user consumes approximately 200mg per day (Meredith, Juliano, Hughes & Griffiths, 2013). Caffeine has been documented to have the potential to cause a variety of negative consequences and shares many of the diagnostic criteria seen in substance use disorder (SUD). The major diagnostic criteria for caffeine use disorder (CUD) includes; persistent and unsuccessful desire to cut down on caffeine use (Jones & Lejuez, 2005; Juliano, Evatt, Richards & Griffiths,

Coffee vs energy drinks, who will win? People drink coffee and energy drinks because they wake you up and they get you ready for the day. Most energy drinks hold 8.4 ounces. On the other hand, coffee has 8 ounces. On the healthier side, coffee only has 1 calorie for 8 ounces while energy drinks have 110 calories for 8.4 ounces.

HEART COMPLICATION – Caffeine and other ingredients in the energy drinks can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. Caffeine is the ingredient which can influence the heart beat due to the liberate of calcium from the heart cells. Caffeine and other ingredients in the energy drink also increase the blood pressure which can damage the normal balance of salts in the body. These complications can cause many health problems such as arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, hypertension, coronary heart failure, etc. Highly caffeinated energy drinks and energy shots may enhance sports performance and keep someone alert and attentive but the risk of getting too much of caffeine intake can endanger the heart at any age.

Caffeine is a chemical found naturally in few plants all over the world. From these plants it is processed into its pure form and then put into other things such as soda, energy drinks, tea, and pills. Energy drinks and soda are some of the most widely marketed products in the world, even though they contain the highest concentration of caffeine outside of pure caffeine supplements. It is a stimulant that affects everyone in strange but semi predictable ways. Research has been done on this topic since the 1920’s and many different conclusions have been reached.

The retention of analyte molecules happened due to stronger interactions with the stationary phase than the mobile phase. In another words, there is higher affinity of sample towards stationary phase than mobile phase that caused retention. The interaction types can be divided into Dispersive, Dipole and Hydrogen

Whenever a consumer uses an energy drink a series of effects begin in his/her body. The organism receives an instant boost as the caffeine successfully manages to block the duties of the adenosine, a chemical located in the brain whose function is involved with sleeping. After the completion of the process caffeine forces part of the neurons in the brain to lighten up, which later on causes the body to release the hormone adrenaline. When the hormone is active it forces the liver to provide the bloodstream with additional

But many athletes, then athletes in the broadest spectrum of disciplines, as well as students who are learning hard for exams, used pure synthetic caffeine in the form of pills. In whatever form that takes, caffeine eventually decompose and stimulates the release of fat. It is believed that caffeine stimulisee release of excitatory hormones epinephrine and neorepinefrina from the adrenal gland, and also stimulates the brain to release dopamine; thus stimulates the release of fat and increases energy, stamina and mental clarity. This naturally raises us and "pump" we metabolism, a posledeca is greater calorie burn. Contrary to what would you say to some experts, these effects can be obtained without the unwanted side-effects.

DETERMINATION OF PERCENTAGE ETHANOL IN BEVERAGES 1. Introduction to Gas Chromatography Gas chromatography is a very powerful separation technique for compounds that are reasonably volatile. The components of a sample partitions into two phases, the 1st of these phases is a immobile bed with a great surface area, and the other is a gas phase that permeates through the immobile bed. The sample is evaporated and passed by the mobile gas phase or the carrier gas through the column. Samples separates into the stationary liquid phase, based on their solubilities at the given temperature.
