Carbonation in beer


Beer brewing is a meticulous process involving various ingredients and techniques.


CO2  is essential in brewing as it contributes to beer's characteristic fizzy texture and mouthfeel. It is added during carbonation to create the desired bubbles and effervescence.


Lighter styles like lagers usually have higher carbonation levels to create a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. Meanwhile, beers like stouts and porters might have lower carbonation to enhance their smooth and creamy characteristics.


CO2 also plays a vital role in preserving beer. It acts as a natural barrier that helps prevent the oxidation and spoilage of the beer, allowing it to stay fresh and flavourful for longer.

 

Wine


Carbon dioxide is used at various stages of the production of wine; it allows temperature control of grapes, protects grapes from oxidation and has a bacteriostatic effect .


Dry ice or carbonic snow is used to refrigerate the bunches of grapes in the field during harvest to prevent overheating and premature fermentation/oxidation. CO2 is also used to inert the harvest containers.


Carbon dioxide snow is also used as a refrigerant to control, the temperature of crushed or destemmed grapes, especially white grapes, before entering the membrane press. With cryomaceration, liquid carbon dioxide lowers the crushed grapes' temperature, enhancing their quality.

 

Cider Carbonation
CO2 is an essential ingredient in carbonated cider; it enhances the appearance, and improves the flavour and aroma. CO2 is added to chilled cider under pressure at the filling stage to the bottles or kegs. When the cider is dispensed, and the pressure is released, out come the bubbles.
Coffee
Carbon dioxide is used in blends for packaging in a protective atmosphere. It preserves the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, which would otherwise deteriorate in contact with the air.
Carbonation of water
Carbonation of water transforms plain still water into a refreshing and effervescent beverage. By adding carbon dioxide (CO2) under pressure, sparkling water gains its characteristic bubbles, which enhance the drink's crispness. This process can elevate the taste, making carbonated water a popular choice for those seeking a healthier alternative to soda, offering hydration with a touch of excitement. 
Carbonation in soft drinks
Carbonation in soft drinks is a key element that enhances both flavour and experience. The addition of carbon dioxide (CO2) creates the bubbles that provide a refreshing effervescence, making each sip more enjoyable. This process not only contributes to the drink's texture but also helps to preserve its freshness and flavour profile. Additionally, carbonation can enhance the perception of sweetness and acidity, making soft drinks more appealing to consumers.
