Abstract |
: |
The current high consumption of energy drinks have drawn our attention to conduct this study aiming to investigate the two most commonly consumed types of energy drinks in the community of Saudi Arabia and to analyze some physiochemical characteristics: pH value, titratable acidity ,sugars content and study the effect of these two drinks on teeth surface. Survey Research, to determine the two most commonly consumed types of energy drinks by young adults. pH value were determined by pH –meter, titratable acidity was measured as described in A.O.A.C., total sugars and identified sugars by HPLC in the selected energy drinks. 72 Specimens were randomly distributed into 3 main groups. Code Red® and Bison® were evaluated, while distilled water was used as a control. Specimen were immersed for 5 minutes, 3 and 12 hours then using scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The most commonly consumed types of energy drinks were Code Red® and Bison® by 68.6% and 37.8%, respectively. Both energy drinks tested were low-acid products, as indicated by comparatively low pH-values. pH values were (3.28 ± 0.036) and (2.72± 0.073) for Code Red® and Bison®, respectively .Also, both energy drinks have very low percent of total acidity. They recorded (0.057 ± 0.008) and (0.040 ± 0.006) for Code Red® and Bison®, respectively. However, the non-reducing sugar in Code Red® was markedly higher than in Bison®(6.95% in Code Red® vs. 0.97% in Bison).Cod Red® hence stronger erosive potential on different teeth surfaces (enamel, dentin and smear layer at the level of CEJ) when compared to Bison® as confirmed by the SEM results. Energy drinks cause an erosive potential on different teeth surfaces. |
