Abstract:
A process for packaging pressurized beverages. The process includes mixing liquid, a solute that depresses the freezing point of the liquid, and gas. Next, the liquid-gas mixture is allowed to rest. Then, retail containers are filled with the mixture. During the mixing and filling steps of the process, the liquid-gas mixture is subjected to pressures that are higher than atmospheric pressure. Unfortunately, such pressure cannot be maintained when the container is transferred from the filling station to the sealing station causing dissolved gas to leave the liquid and foam to overflow the container during the transfer. To prevent such an overflow, prior to the transfer, the dissolved gas is put to sleep by reducing the temperature of the liquid to below 0° C. (32° F.) and optionally allowing the liquid-gas mixture to rest. The liquid beverage may include milk, coffee, tea, fruit juice, chocolate or mixtures thereof, and may include a gum.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for the packaging of a pressurized liquid, containing a gas and a solute that depresses the freezing point of the liquid, the process comprising:\n mixing the liquid and the solute to create a liquid mixture; introducing the gas to the liquid mixture, under greater than 101325 Pa (1 atmosphere) of pressure; agitating the liquid mixture, to create a liquid-gas mixture; cooling the liquid-gas mixture to less than 0\u00b0 C. (32\u00b0 F.) to create a cooled liquid-gas mixture; transferring the cooled liquid-gas mixture to a container; subjecting the cooled liquid-gas mixture in the container to atmospheric pressure; and sealing the cooled liquid-gas mixture in the container wherein the pressure inside the container after sealing is greater than 101325 Pa (1 atmosphere).
