Carbonated milk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carbonated milk or soda milk is a carbonated soft drink. It can be made from powdered milk or fresh milk, and often has added flavor. In addition to modified texture, carbonated milk also has a longer shelf-life and increased flavor intensity.

Carbonated milk is most popular in Asia.[1]

Manufacture

Carbonated milk can be produced by fermentation and other methods.[2]

With fermentation, yeast is added to the milk, producing a yogurt-like effervescent beverage. Along with carbon dioxide, the yeast also produces lactic acid, aroma compounds and a small amount of ethanol. Examples of carbonated milk beverages produced using fermentation include kefir and kumis.[2]

Aside from fermentation, carbonation can be produced by physical or chemical means. The "dry" method involves adding powdered milk to a liquid, which then produces carbon dioxide when the two are mixed. Another method involves physically mixing or injecting the milk with carbon dioxide to produce the carbonated beverage.[2][3]

Characteristics

Flavor

Carbonated milk can have flavor added to it, such as strawberry, peach or root beer. It can also be sweetened, using a sweetener such as sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup. Carbonation increases the perceived intensity of flavorings, as well as bitterness at higher levels.[4][5]

Shelf life

Carbonated pasteurized milk has a refrigerated shelf life which is around twice as long as equivalently treated uncarbonated milk.[3] The same effect has also been demonstrated with UHT milk.[6] The mechanism by which carbon dioxide reduces spoilage is unknown, but suggested mechanisms include displacement of oxygen, acidification and direct effects on microbial metabolism. Due to its preserving properties, addition of carbon dioxide has been suggested as a preserve milk and other dairy products.[7]

Brands

Vio is a mix of flavored milk and carbonated water made by The Coca-Cola Company.[1] In India, it is sold primarily by large brands, including Nestle, Amul and Britannia.[3] Milkis is a type of carbonated milk, primarily sold in Korea, as well as Taiwan and other countries.[8]
