how to add flavors to carbonated drinks?


For carbonated drinks with a PH value between 2-4.6 and filled with carbon dioxide, such as Sprite and 7-Up, a clear and transparent appearance is required. Usually, it requires water-soluble flavor with dosage about 0.1% to flavor the drink. If necessary, choose oil-water dual-purpose flavors with propylene glycol or glycerol as solvents. For fruit-flavored soda water, that is, carbonated beverages with a very bright fruit-like color, the fruity feeling is emphasized in terms of fragrance, and the refreshing property is secondary. The pressure of CO2 gas is weak. Sometimes, in order to emphasize the natural feeling, emulsion flavors are used, and emulsifiers and stabilizers are added, and distinctive acidifiers are added at the same time. It should be noted that the addition or non-addition of CO2 has a great influence on the choice of flavors, because CO2 has the effect of emphasizing bitterness and cleverly masking the aroma. The flavoring rate is generally 0.1%~0.2%.
