Sports drinks, energy drinks, chemometricsAbstract
This work is aimed to develop an accurate, dependable procedure to discriminate between sports drinks and energy drinks. Since these two types of beverages differ in their chemical properties, these properties can be used to develop a classification model which accurately separates those groups. The classification model has been built utilizing chemometric techniques such as Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis, that are highly appropriate for this objective. A set of 11 beverages (7 energy drinks and 4 sports drinks) was characterized by 8 chemical properties and the resulting data set was analyzed with the chemometric techniques mentioned above. Such analyses provided a very accurate method to distinguish between the two types of beverages. It is concluded that chemometrics is a very efficient tool for the treatment of multivariate chemical data, particularly for modelling and classification purposes.
