The results reveal a significant variation in caffeine concentrations across the samples, with the energy drink XL(I) exhibiting the highest concentration at 520 g/ml, while the Tender coconut drink contained the lowest at 52.37 g/ml. Additionally, the findings indicate that imported soft drinks generally contain higher caffeine levels than their domestic counterparts.
