Sip Smart: Unveiling pH and TDS Variability in Beverages

Abstract Beverages play a crucial role in hydration and health, influencing oral health through their pH and mineral content. While water supports enamel remineralization, acidic beverages like sodas and juices can erode enamel. This study aims to evaluate the TDS and pH levels of various beverages & comparing them with WHO guidelines.
Methodology
The study analyzed 20 beverage samples, including bottled water, groundwater, soft drinks, and juices. TDS and pH levels were measured using TDS, pH meters with each sample tested in triplicate for better accuracy. The collected results were compared with WHO guidelines (which recommend a pH range of 6.5–8.5 and a maximum TDS of 1000 mg/L) & analyzed.
Results
Bottled Water: TDS ranged from 25–98 mg/L and pH values from 6.8–7.2, all within WHO guidelines.
Groundwater: TDS ranged from 212–587 mg/L, with some samples exceeding the ideal range, but pH values remained within range.
Soft Drinks: TDS ranged from 250–598 mg/L, and pH values were highly acidic (2.96–3.96), exceeding WHO limits, posing a risk for enamel erosion.
Juices: pH ranged from 5.7 to 7.05, showing moderate acidity, with high TDS levels.
Conclusion
Bottled water and groundwater generally comply with WHO guidelines, presenting minimal risk to dental health. However, soft drinks, with their low pH and high TDS, pose significant risks for enamel erosion. Juices are less erosive but still a concern for dental health. The findings emphasize the importance of transparency in labeling and informed beverage choices to maintain oral health.
Keywords Keywords: TDS, pH, enamel erosion, oral health, WHO guidelines.
