What are carbonated beverages?
Carbonated beverages are said to be those drinks that contain carbon dioxide dissolved in water. The presence of this gas (co2 )creates bubbles in the liquid. Carbonation can occur naturally underground or artificially, through pressurizing. Examples of carbonated beverages include spring water, beer and soda, or pop.

• Carbonated beverages commnly naturally carbonated spring water, were once thought to be health tonics, and the effervescence can help soothe an upset stomach
• The carbon dioxide in a carbonated beverage also causes people to burp after they drink it, because as the gas is released after being ingested into the body.
Basic components of carbonated beverages
The basic component of carbonated beverages are as follow
• Water
• Carbon dioxide
• Sugar/syrups
• Organic salts
• Fruit juices
• Flavours
However there are other additives that are now part the carbonated beverages like the benzoate are added to increase the shelf life of the beverages
Types of carbonated beverages
Some of the most common type of carbonated beverages are mention below
• Fruit base
• beer
• champagne
• mead
• soft drinks
History of carbonated beverages
Thus the history starts with joseph Priestley and his carbonated water
In year 1767, He discovered a method of infusing water with carbon dioxide to make carbonated water when he suspended a bowl of distilled water above a beer vat at a local brewery in Leeds, England. His invention of carbonated water (also known as soda water) is the major and defining component of most carbonated …show more content…
This process can occur naturally like as in naturally carbonated mineral water that absorbs carbon dioxide from the ground, or by man-made processes, as is the case in most soft drinks and soda waters. This involves pumping carbon dioxide into the drink at high pressure, then sealing the container. Since the solubility of carbon dioxide is less at lower pressure, the dissolved gas escapes as bubbles when the container is opened and the pressure is relieved.
The maximum amount of carbon dioxide that can be dissolved in water is 8 g per litre only. The remaining/excess will normally only remain in water when the drink is under pressure. When the pressure is released - i.e. when the container is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure - the carbon dioxide will begin to escape. So once a bottle or can of a carbonated drink is opened, the beverage will start to go flat.
