Analysis of Fanta

During this month-long experiment, many different tests were performed to analyze the composition of Fanta. First, a Fanta sample was prepared for GCMS in which an aqueous and organic layer formed; the organic layer was extracted for further analysis. This organic layer was separated into 2 parts, one for freeze-drying and one for GCMS analysis. Through the GCMS test, lots of Benzoic acid was found in the Fanta. The Fanta was then freeze-dried for analysis through multiple tests. A TLC plate test was also done, but without any results.
