In this study, the identification of anthocyanins in effervescent beverage preparations, telang flower juice and oranges gerga lebong using qualitative test methods using HCl 2M and NaOH 2M reagents, while in quantitative tests using UV-Vis spectrophotometry,differential pH method with pH 1.0 and pH 4.5 solutions at wavelengths of 510 nm and 700 nm. The results of the qualitative test showed that all samples of processed effervescent drinks were positive for anthocyanins and the quantitative testesults showed that the anthocyanin levels in formulation 1 were 1,780 mg / L, formulation 2 was 2,225 mg / L, and formulation 3 was 5,899 mg / L. Based on this study on effervescentbeverage formulation 3 had high anthocyanins from formulations 1 and 2.
