What is Carbonation ?


There are several definitions for Carbonation


1. Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water or an aqueous solution. This process yields the "fizzle" to carbonated water and sparkling mineral water, the head to beer, and the cork pop and bubbles to champagne and sparkling wine.


2. Sparkle caused by carbon dioxide, either created during fermentation or injected later.


3. This term is used to describe both the amount of CO2 in the beverage, as well as the process of putting CO2 into the beverage. There are two types of carbonation - forced carbonation and natural carbonation
