Application of potentiometric titration for the determination of carbon in carbonated beverage.Peer-reviewed article

J. ŠTICHAUER

The author describes a modified Cannizar method which has been worked out for the determination of carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages and is based on the application of potentiometric titration. Contrary to many other methods used at present the new one gives very reliable and accurate results requiring at the same time no complicated laboratory instruments or difficult technique. An example illustrates the application and calculation of CO₂ content. The method is applicable to any carbonated beverage, no matter whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic being especially effective for analyzing coloured sorts. The percentage of CO₂ can be determined in bottled beverages the shape and sort of bottles or corks having no effect upon the accuracy of analysis. If correct sampling technique is used the method could be applied to routine analyses in various phases of manufacturing processes.
