Sprite contains citric acid and tartaric acid.
Here's a breakdown of the acids found in Sprite:
-
Citric Acid: This is a common organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons and limes. In Sprite, it contributes to the drink's tart and refreshing flavor profile. It also acts as a preservative.
-
Tartaric Acid: Tartaric acid is another organic acid found in fruits, particularly grapes. It's added to Sprite to enhance the overall tartness and acidity, complementing the citric acid.
In addition to these acids, Sprite also contains other ingredients, including:
- Carbonated Water
- Acidity Regulator (Sodium Citrates)
- Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, Sucralose)
- Natural Lemon and Lime Flavorings.
