Review article of caffeine energy drinks

The research articles discuss various aspects of caffeine consumption patterns and levels, covering both energy drinks and coffee beverages. For instance, studies such as "Quantitative determination of caffeine in imported energy drinks of Lahore, Pakistan" and "The caffeine content of energy drinks in accordance with the information on the package label" analyze the quantitative measurement of caffeine levels in energy drinks, highlighting the importance of accurate labeling and quality control to reduce potential health risks related to excessive caffeine consumption. Additionally, "The relationship between energy drink consumption, caffeine content, and nutritional knowledge among college students" uncovers the connection between demographic characteristics, caffeine levels, and nutritional knowledge among college students, revealing a common consumption of energy drinks despite reported adverse effects. Meanwhile, "Influence of various factors on caffeine content in coffee brews" and "Antioxidants, phenols, caffeine content, and volatile compounds in coffee beverages obtained by different methods" concentrate on the factors that influence caffeine content in coffee brews, emphasizing the importance of brewing methods in determining caffeine levels and other bioactive compounds. While espresso brewing produces coffee with high caffeine levels, French press brewing enhances aromatic volatile compounds, highlighting the intricate interplay between preparation methods and sensory attributes in coffee beverages. These studies highlight the diverse aspects of caffeine research, including analytical quantification, consumer behavior, and brewing science. Together, they enhance our understanding of caffeine's presence in beverages, its impact on consumer health, and the effects of preparation methods on sensory attributes. By conducting thorough analysis and critical examination, these studies provide valuable insights into maximizing caffeine consumption and promoting informed dietary choices among consumers.
