Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely used in the food industry and the hospitality sector, among others. Carbon dioxide is odorless and colorless and is commonly used to carbonate beverages. The use of carbon dioxide gives the beverage a fuller flavor and allows its taste to shine through. Carbon dioxide not only makes for a delicious drink but also extends its shelf life. In addition to its use in soft drinks, carbon dioxide is also used as a propellant when dispensing beer.
