A pal of mine is a chemical engineer who's main job is designing the pipework for plants in the pharma and food sectors. They opened up a new Coke manufacturing facility a few years back and he was able to make a stab at the list of specific ingredients based off their stated viscosity, boiling temperature and Reynolds number.

The major ingredients, like sugar, water, CO2 are the main ones that affect the design of a processing factory. Yet the flavourings are the ones that will be organic molecules in tiny concentrations, not affecting the design of processing plants, yet very important for anyone wanting to copy the flavor.

Your comment about your pal just reminded me of "The Integral Principles of the Structural Dynamics of Flow", an fictional technical book used as a plot device in the Patriot TV series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4687882 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4687882 They even created a one season podcast read by the fictional author, Leslie G Claret, who's played by the actor Kurtwood Smith. Does your pal really work as a chemical engineer ;)

  “A little something like this, John. Let me walk you through our Donnelly nuts basing and crack system rim-riding grip configuration. Using a field of half C sprats, and brass fitted nickle slits, our bracketed caps and splay flexed brace columns vent dampers to dampening hatch depths of one half meter from the damper crown to the spur plyths. How? Well, we bolster 12 husked nuts to each girdle jerry, while flex tandems press a task apparatus of ten, vertically composited patch hamplers. Then, pin flam fasten pan traps at both maiden apexes of the jim joints. A little something like that, Lakeman.” Love this show! Cleverly written and incredibly underrated.
