Soft drink - Fizzy Drinks: Encyclopedia II - Soft drink - Fizzy Drinks

Fizzy drinks (carbonated beverages) are produced by injecting carbon dioxide into the drink at several atmospheres. Carbon dioxide dissolves readily even at normal atmospheric pressure, and far more so at high pressure. When the pressure is released the carbon dioxide comes out of solution forming numerous bubbles and releasing the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. After many minutes most of the carbon dioxide has ...

Soft drink - Fizzy Drinks

Fizzy drinks (carbonated beverages) are produced by injecting carbon dioxide into the drink at several atmospheres. Carbon dioxide dissolves readily even at normal atmospheric pressure, and far more so at high pressure. When the pressure is released the carbon dioxide comes out of solution forming numerous bubbles and releasing the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. After many minutes most of the carbon dioxide has been released and the drink is said to be 'flat'.

The chemical phenomenon whereby carbonated drinks taste fizzy is due to carbonic acid inducing a slight burning sensation, and is only indirectly related to the bubbles- both phenomena are caused by the carbonic acid concentration.

Carbonation can also be produced by partial fermentation in a sealed container. This is the same method used in the production of champagne and by careful control the alcohol level can be kept very low.
