INTRODUCTION

• The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia by John Pemberton, originally as a cocawine called Pemberton's French Wine Coca in 1885.He may have been inspired by the formidable success of Vin Mariani, a European cocawine.

PROCESS OF THE COCA COLA

• Stage 2: While one part of the water is kept, the other part is mixed with sugar and concentrated to make the syrup.

• Stage 3: Then the water that was kept is mixed up with the syrup to make the soft drink (Coca cola).

• Stage 4: Then the mix of water and syrup (the soft drink) is transported to a carbonatator machine (the water is carbonized with CO2).

• Stage 5: Then the carbonized soft drink is filled up on cleaned bottles, then is transported to a codificator, then the filled bottles are packed.
