Introduction To The Product - Soft Drink

Soft drinks have their origins in natural mineral waters that were believed to have health benefits. Some of the earliest soft drinks in the 17th century were non-carbonated drinks made from water, lemon juice, and honey. The first carbonated drinks were created in the 18th century and allowed for mass production. In the 19th century in America, pharmacists began adding flavors to carbonated water and selling it at soda fountains, growing the soft drink bottling industry. Many patents were filed for bottle caps and seals to contain the carbonation pressure until the successful crown cork was patented in 1892. Glass bottle production became automated in the late 19th century through inventions like the glass blowing machine.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE PRODUCT SOFT DRINK


Soft drinks can trace their history back to the mineral water found in nature
springs. Bathing in natural springs has ling been consider a healthy thing to do and
mineral water was said to have curative powers. Scientists soon discovered that gas
carbonium or carbon dioxide was behind in natural mineral water.
The first marketed soft drinks (noncarbonated) appeared in the 17
th
century. They
water made from water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. In 1676, the comparing
de lemonades of Paris was granted a monopoly for the sale of lemonade soft drinks.
Vendors would carry tanks of lemonade on their backs and dispensed cups of the soft
drink to the thirsty Parisians.
In 1767, an Englishman, Dr. Joseph priestly, created the drinkable manmade glass
of carbonated water. Three years later, the Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman invented
a generating apparatus that made carbonated water from chalk by the use of sulfuric
acid. Bergmans apparatus allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large
amounts.
In 1810, the first us plant was issued for the means of mass manufacture of
imitation mineral water to Simons and Rundell of Charleston, South Carolina.
Carbonated beverages did not achieve great popularity in America unit 1832, when John
Mathews mass manufactured his apparatus for sale to others.
The drinking of either natural of artificial mineral water was considered a healthy
practice. American pharmacists. Who were selling most of the mineral water started to
add medicinal and other flavorful herbs to the unflavored beverage example, birch bark
dandelion, sarsaparilla and fruit extracts. The early drugs stores with their soda fountains
become a popular part of America culture. Customer wanted to take drinks with them and
the soft drink bottling industry grew from the customer demand.
Over 1500 US patents were filled either for a cork, cap or lid for the carbonated
drink bottle tops. The bottle tops were under a lot of pressure from the gas. Inventors
were trying to find the best way to prevent the carbon dioxide (bubbles) from escaping. In
1892, Willam painter, a Baltimore machine stop operator, machine stop operator patented
the crown cork bottle seal. It was the first very successful method of keeping the
bubbles in the bottle.
In 1899, the first patent was issued for a glass-bowing machine for the automatic
production of glass bottles, earlier glass bottles had all been hand blow. Four years later,
the mew bottle-blowing machine was in operation. The inventor, Michel J Owens, an
employee of Libby Glass Company, first operated it. Within a few years, glass bottle
production increased from 1500 bottle a day to 57000 bottles a day.
