I looked into it.
It says that Coca-Cola contains glycerol.
The glycerol is made from beef tallow normally (saponification reaction). Also, the glycerol is present as 1 part in 1000, which is acceptable for jewish law.
The jewish god has said that the presence must be under 1 part in 60.
For passover, the jewish god can’t tolerate the beef tallow.
So Coca-Cola makes glycerol from cottonseed oil or coconut oil (saponification reaction) for the passover version of Coke.
To make High fructose corn syrup, they use corn and they use an enzyme. I think they often use Xylose isomerase as the enzyme
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylose_isomerase
The enzyme converts some or most of the glucose into fructose which has a higher sugar flavor compared to glucose.
So, Coca-Cola can put less sugar and reduce the price.
For passover, the jewish god is worried that since corn is used, some of the glucose is converted to ethanol and that the person would get drunk.
For passover, Coca-Cola extracts sucrose from the cane plant or the beet plant and they don’t convert the sucrose.
