Analysis of soft drinks containing sugar and Stevia
More beverages are sweetened with sugar and Stevia for calorie reduction. The density and sound velocity meter by Anton Paar is ideal for accurate analysis and quality control of soft drinks, whether they contain only sugar or a combination of sugar and Stevia.
Not only do products like chocolate, ice cream, jams, and cakes contain saccharose, commonly referred to as sugar, but also many convenience food products and beverages.

It is not only the calorie intake linked to obesity, but also a health concern that causes consumers to decide on sugar-reduced drinks. Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for several chronic diseases. They also increase the risks of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
