FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Drinks and Carbonated Beverages Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Food and Agriculture Division Council.
In a tropical country like India, the carbonated beverages industry has an important place. The
quality of a carbonated beverage depends on the quality of the various ingredients that go in its
manufacture - water. acidulants, sweetening agents. emulsifiers and stabilizers, flavour,
colour and carbon dioxide being the most important ones. The hygienic conditions of the units
producing carbonated beverages also need vigilant control to safeguard public health.
This standard was originally issued in 1963 and then revised in 1973, in which maximum permissible
limits of thole ingredients which in excess could adversely affect human health were specified.
In this second revision, the scope of this standard has been widened to include beverages for dietetic
purposes, containing electrolyte mixtures, flavoured and sweetened carbonated water with fruit juice,
fruit pulp and fruit concentrates, keeping in view the existing trade practices. Several requirements
on ingredients have been updated in order to bring the standard in line with existing regulatory
requirements and manufacturing practices.
In view of the different varieties of carbonated beverages produced in the country, it has not been
possible to include in the standard the exact or even the range of proportions of different ingredients
required for the different varieties of the carbonated beverages.
In the preparation of this standard, due consideration has been given to the provisions of the
Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and the rules framed thereunder. This standard is
subject to the restrictions imposed under these, wherever applicable.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value. observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised )'. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the lame as that of the specified value
in this standard.
