【完美复制可口可乐？真的吗？】
最近，一位名叫 LabCoatz 的 YouTuber 声称，他花费一年时间，通过质谱分析和盲测，逆向工程破解了可口可乐 139 年的秘方，并成功制造出一种几乎与正品一模一样的仿冒饮料。其主要成分包括柠檬油、芫荽籽油和肉豆蔻油等多种精油混合物,并指出原始配方含有古柯碱成分。

虽然官方配方（被称为“7X商品配方”）被严密地锁在亚特兰大的一个保险库中，但一些历史学家和记者已经发现了被广泛认为是“原始”配方的资料。

这种口味的核心——也是该公司不遗余力保护的部分——是一种精油混合物。根据“彭伯顿”和“比尔”的配方，“7X”调味剂的成分如下：

酒精：8盎司（用作溶解精油的基底）
橙油：20滴
柠檬油：30滴
肉豆蔻油：10滴
芫荽油：5滴
橙花油：10滴（最昂贵且最具“花香”的成分）
肉桂油：10滴（特指桂皮，即中国肉桂）

他在 YouTube 上发布的视频（原视频时长 25 分钟）如下：
可口可乐的秘方是近代史上保守得最好的秘密之一……而我最讨厌秘密。所以，我自然而然地借助质谱技术破解了它，并制造出了一种化学成分完全相同的复制品！

Perfectly Replicating Coca Cola? Really?

Recently, a YouTuber named LabCoatz claimed to have spent a year reverse-engineering Coca-Cola's 139-year-old secret formula through mass spectrometry analysis and blind testing, and successfully created a counterfeit beverage that is almost identical to the genuine product. Its key ingredients include a mixture of essential oils such as lemon oil, coriander seed oil, and nutmeg oil etc..

While the official formula (known as "Merchandise 7X") is famously locked in a vault in Atlanta, several historians and journalists have uncovered what is widely believed to be the "original" recipe.

The core of the flavor—the part the company goes to extreme lengths to protect—is an essential oil blend. According to the "Pemberton" and "Beal" recipes, the 7X flavoring consists of:
Alcohol: 8 oz (used as the base to dissolve the oils)
Orange Oil: 20 drops
Lemon Oil: 30 drops
Nutmeg Oil: 10 drops
Coriander Oil: 5 drops
Neroli Oil: 10 drops (the most expensive and "floral" ingredient)
Cinnamon Oil: 10 drops (specifically Cassia, or Chinese cinnamon)

His posting on YouTube (original video is 25 min long):
The Coca Cola secret formula is one of the best kept secrets in recent history...and I hate secrets. So, naturally, I deciphered it with the help of mass spectrometry and created a chemically-identical replica! http://t.cn/AXG9S88E
