Monitor Trace Impurities in Carbon Dioxide used in Carbonated Beverages and Food Packaging

The Importance of Monitoring CO2 Impurities The function of dissolved Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in beverages is to provide effervescence and some acidity without introducing any undesired sensory effects. As CO2 is a key ingredient in many products, CO2 quality management is essential for ensuring consumer satisfaction. Carbon dioxide is produced for the food and beverage industry as a side product of multiple processes such as fermentation, combustion, ammonia & hydrogen production, as well as the creation of bioethanol. Due to the source of the CO2 and the complex supply chain that is often...
