Flavoring essence is a major ingredient that is used in flavoring of soft drinks & sodas. Increased usage of synthetic flavoring essence is stifling the growth of the soft drink business since it has been related to dental issues in consumers as a result of long-term consumption. According to the American Dental Association, synthetic flavoring essences such as ascorbic acid affect the teeth and lead to erosion. Prolonged consumption of sodas dissolves away the layer of enamel and affects the structural integrity. The damage further leads to hypersensitivity, increases the chances of formation of cavities, and tooth erosion.

On the other hand, synthetic flavor essence affects the pH level of the water, and it tends to keep it low than the neutral pH level limit. The pH of a beverage is the most important factor in determining its ability to affect the teeth. A pH of less than 4 is regarded to be harmful to oral health. Overall, consumers are more aware of the importance of maintaining good dental health, which is preventing them from drinking flavored sodas containing synthetic flavor essences and thus forcing beverage companies to look for alternatives for ascorbic acid.
