Usage of Carbon Di-oxide
in Carbonated Beverages
Carbon di-oxide (Co2) is a
fundamental ingredient of all carbonated
beverages, beer, soft drinks and mineral
waters. Co2 offers additional benefits like
increased product stability, flavour enhancement,
boosted texture impression and freshness
visual communication.
To start with, forming a sugar
and water syrup and making extracts made
up of fruit juice, aromatic substances is
taken up. These are thoroughly mixed into
a soft drink concentrate to give a syrup
mixture. The water is de-aerated to avoid
oxidation reactions that can destroy the
aromatic substances. For carbonated drinks,
carbon dioxide is dissolved into the water
at low temperatures under high pressures
and a carbonation machine is used to add
carbon dioxide.
The syrup and carbonated water
are then mixed in the correct proportions
according to their formulation prior to
bottling, storage and then transportation
of the finished soft drink product to the
consumer.
The presence of carbon dioxide
prevents mould growth and the high levels
of acidity and carbonation help to inhibit
the growth of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria.
This beverages industry
is a growing one in India. SICGIL is proud
to be associated with the major aerated
beverage manufacturers. In order to supply
Co2 to the beverage manufacturers, SICGIL
get its Co2 analysed at Atlantic Analytical
Laboratory, New Jersey, USA. SICGIL produces
Co2 that conforms to the International Standard
for Beverages Technologies (ISBT) standards.
