In addition, the variability of the caffeine content of Coca-Cola® fountain soda was evaluated. Caffeine was isolated from the samples by liquid–liquid extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The caffeine concentration of the caffeinated energy drinks ranged from none detected to 141.1 mg/serving. The caffeine content of the carbonated sodas ranged from none detected to 48.2 mg/serving, and the content of the other beverages ranged from < 2.7 to 105.7 mg/serving. The intra-assay mean, standard deviation, and % coefficient of variation for the Coca-Cola fountain samples were 44.5, 2.95, and 6.64 mg/serving, respectively.", pages = "112-114(3)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/pres/jat/2006/00000030/00000002/art00008" }
