UV analysis results of acidified water samples, the caffeine levels were found to be in the range of 1.43 mg/L and 40.51 mg/L, the lowest being Stoney and the highest being Coca-Cola respectively. With distilled water alone, the concentration ranged from 1.51 to 39.65 mg/L, these being Stoney and Coca-Cola respectively. Ready to drink juices showed the highest levels of caffeine content in both distilled and acidified water extraction with the lowest reading of 59.43 mg/L obtained from Pineapple Marche brand while the highest concentration was from orange Marche brand with 75.71 mg/L caffeine in acidified water extraction. | |
