Soda water, seltzer water and dining

Soda water, seltzer water and dining 


The group of non-alcoholic beverages include soda, seltzer water and a dining room, which are saturated with carbon dioxide weak aqueous solutions of mixtures of chemically pure neutral and alkaline salts of sodium, calcium and magnesium. Artificial mineral water has a salty taste and thirst-quenching, especially when used in the hot season and hot shops. Recently, the production of these drinks is widespread. 

For organoleptic characteristics drinks should be transparent, colorless, odorless, sediment and opalescence, and the taste salty. When poured into a glass should be plenty of carbon dioxide. Its content in the waters should not be below 0,4% by weight. Resistance of mineral water at 20 ° C should be not less than 15 days from the date of issuance of the commercial network. Contents of preservatives, salts of heavy metals and arsenic in artificial mineral waters are not allowed. 

In the production of artificial mineral water drinking prepare working solutions of salts of certain relative density. 

Sodium chloride - 1,116 

Sodium carbonate anhydrous - 1,082 

or 

Sodium carbonate crystal - 1,082 

or 

Sodium bicarbonate - 1,0581 

A mixture of calcium chloride and magnesium chloride 1:0,01 - 1.0599 


The salts are dissolved in hot water, the solution is filtered and cooled to 20 ° C. For the production of soda water in a volume filled saturator saturator to 1 / 2 the volume of water cooled to 4-6 ° C and with continuous mixing ask sodium chloride. After stirring the mixture for 1 - 2 minutes added to a solution of sodium carbonate, and then topped up with soda fountain in the chilled water to 3 / 4 volume, give him the contents of carbon dioxide and stirred for 30 minutes, occasionally opening the first 10 minutes off for the release of the saturator air. The process of saturation of water with carbon dioxide is carried out at a pressure of 0,3-0,4 Mn/m2 up until the pressure after the cessation of the mixer will not fall. The duration of the process of saturation of water with carbonic acid 40-45 min. 

In the production of soda and carbonated water in the dining room jerk initially made solution of salt and soda, then add the remaining salt solutions. Further process is analogous to the production of soda water. 

In the production of artificial mineral waters in the continuous current saturator solution of salts are prepared in a separate collection, of which refer to the saturator. 

Artificial mineral water is bottled in 0,5 l bottles. Before the release of the distribution chain they must endure at the plant for three months in a horizontal position, then in the foam, well-ventilated room at or below 2 ° C and not above 12 ° C (Non Issue in a trading network, and without a three-month exposure. )
