How is Pepsi made?

The formula of Coca-Cola has been kept secret since it was born in Atlanta, USA 1886. A French newspaper once joked that there are three secrets in the world that are not known to the world, that is, the wealth of the Queen of England, the weight of Brazilian star Ronaldo and the secret recipe of Coca-Cola. In order to keep this secret recipe, robert wood Woodrafe, a well-known veteran of Coca-Cola Company, took protecting the secret recipe as the first task when 1923 became the company leader. At that time, the Coca-Cola Company showed the public the process of hiding the handwriting of John Pemberton, the inventor of this beverage, in the bank vault, and said that anyone who wants to inquire about this secret recipe must first apply for the approval of the board of directors of the trust company before opening it in the presence of officials within the specified time. By 2000, less than 10 people knew this secret recipe. In the trade with its partners, Coca-Cola Company only provides semi-finished products to its partners, and the manufacturers who have obtained its production license can only obtain the technology and method of blending concentrated raw pulp into finished Coca-Cola products, but cannot obtain the formula and process of raw pulp. In fact, the main ingredients of Coca-Cola are public, including sugar, carbonated water, caramel, phosphoric acid, caffeine and "expired" coca leaves. Its core technology is the mysterious ingredient "7x commodity", which accounts for less than 1% in Coca-Cola. The information of "7X" is kept in the vault of a bank in Atlanta. It consists of three key parts, which are mastered by three senior staff of the company. Their identities are absolutely confidential. At the same time, they signed a "never tell a secret" agreement, even they don't know what the other two ingredients are. Three people are not allowed to go out by the same means of transportation in case the secret recipe is lost due to accidents such as plane crash.

The method of online rumors: Step 1: Mix a small amount of fragrant rapeseed oil with neroli oil, including 0.94g of orange oil, 0.79g of lemon oil/kloc-0, 0.4g of nutmeg oil, 0.4 1g of cinnamon oil, 9.42g of alcohol and 5.5g of water. After 24 hours, the mixed liquid was separated, and the transparent yellow liquid on the upper layer-"Seven Flavors" secret perfume was taken out. Step 2: Dissolve 4.88 grams of sugar in the minimum amount of boiling water, cool, add 73 grams of caramel, 6.3 grams of caffeine, 22.4 grams of pentavalent phosphoric acid and a small amount of cola powder, and stir into thick syrup. Step 3: Add 6 1g lime juice, 38.7g glycerin and 3.07g vanilla extract into the syrup, and then mix with the "seven flavors" secret perfume obtained in the first step and stir evenly. Last step: Add 5.5 times of aerated cold water (pure carbonated water) and you can get 50 pints of cola. Wen Jian: It is difficult for an absolute expert to tell the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else to pour five cups together and taste them. The accuracy of judgment is less than 60%. If you still don't believe me, you can make five cups by yourself according to the following formula, then five cups of Coca-Cola and five cups of Pepsi-Cola, put these fifteen drinks together in a chaotic order, and then taste them. At this time, the accuracy can't even reach 30%. Step 1: Mix a small amount of fragrant rapeseed oil with neroli oil, with 0.94g of orange oil, 0.79g of lemon oil/kloc-0, 0.4g of cardamom oil, 0.4 1g of cinnamon oil, 9.42g of alcohol and 5.5g of water.

Many competitors of "mysterious substance" Coca-Cola have hired senior chemists with high salaries to decipher its public formula "7X 100", but they have never succeeded. Researchers know through laboratory tests that the most basic ingredient of Coca-Cola is water, plus a small amount of sucrose and carbon dioxide. Some companies have done the same thing, but the taste of the prepared drinks is quite different. Only then did people realize that there were "mysterious substances" in Coca-Cola, accounting for less than 65,438+0% of the total, which kept Coca-Cola brilliant for more than a century. A few days ago, Bohr Mo, chairman of the European Institute of Food Science and an expert in food chemistry, and his partner, biologist Warmuth, said in a book called Dictionary of Popular Diet Misunderstandings that they had solved the secret of Coca-Cola formula through long-term research. They revealed that 99.5% of the ingredients in Coca-Cola are sugar water containing carbon dioxide, and a very small proportion of them are spice mixtures, which laid the unique taste of Coca-Cola. This spice mixture includes extracts of wild peas, ginger, mimosa, orange leaves, coca leaves, cinnamon and vanilla peel, filters and dyes. However, they pointed out that the formula of Coca-Cola produced in different countries and regions is not exactly the same to suit the tastes of customers everywhere. Perhaps for the sake of trade secrets, Bormo and Warmuth did not disclose how these ingredients were produced and how they were made into Coca-Cola. But the Coca-Cola Company denied that the formula was decrypted.
