carbonationAddition of carbon dioxide gas to a beverage, imparting sparkle and a tangy taste and preventing spoilage. The liquid is chilled and cascaded down in an enclosure containing carbon dioxide (either as dry ice or a liquid) under pressure. Increasing pressure and lowering temperature maximize gas absorption. Carbonated beverages do not require pasteurization. carbonation [‚kär·bə′nā·shən] (chemistry) Conversion to a carbonate. (chemical engineering) The process by which a fluid, especially a beverage, is impregnated with carbon dioxide. (geochemistry) A process of chemical weathering whereby minerals that contain soda, lime, potash, or basic oxides are changed to carbonates by the carbonic acid in air or water.
