Abstract:
Principally, soft drink processing is a mixing
procedure with essential components of raw materials,
i.e. sugar, water flavour, acid and carbon
dioxide. The secret of a recipe basis lies in harmonizing
the raw materials in such a way that
the finished product has a refreshing, stimulating
character. A continuous quality control must
ascertain that only perfect raw material is processed,
that the bottled product is unobjectionable
regarding its hygienic condition, and that it
is microbiologically and chemically stable.
There are various processing methods for the
production of soft drinks. The described admixing
process where the mixture of water and lemonade
syrup is carbonated before bottling, corresponds
with those of the licencers of brands like
Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Seven-Up, Canada Dry,
etc.
