What does carbonation do?
Can you explain how carbonation is used in food and drink production?
Carbonation is often used in beverages to enhance the taste and texture. It can also be used as a preservative, as carbon dioxide has antimicrobial properties that help prevent some types of bacteria from growing in the drink. In food production, carbon dioxide gas can be used to freeze or dehydrate food, or even to help maintain the texture of foods like bread and cake.
