There is comparatively little published material on the technology of the carbonated soft drinks industry, which is sometimes considered to be the most challenging area of beverage manufacture. This book reviews the major stages of the production process, covering the composition and combination of the elemental consitutents, the various primary packages and the many methods of protecting these packages during the distribution process. A final chapter considers quality control. This is a book for food technologists, food chemists/biochemists and packaging technologists.
