I love these types of drinks, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Lift, Canada Dry! Total success! But I have never stopped to think about the elaboration process, what materials or resources are used to create the final product, and I simply do not have the doubt; so I detail the steps involved in these drinks.
- Water supply and treatment, the main ingredient of a soft drink is water, which can come from the municipal water supply system, a private well or springs. The water, already potable, is subjected to various treatments to produce beverages.
- Preparation of the beverage Sugars or calorie-free sweeteners and other ingredients such as juices, vitamins, caffeine, minerals, flavorings, etc. are added to the treated water. The various combinations result in a wide variety of refreshing beverages.
- Carbon dioxide is added to carbonated beverages, which provides the bubbles and is also an excellent preservative.
- Non-carbonated beverages these beverages undergo a pasteurization heat treatment, before or after bottling, to maintain their properties.
- Filled and closed, the finished beverage is automatically dispensed from the filling machine into the individual containers. Then they go to another one where they are closed and a final inspection is made to ensure that the filling level is correct.
- Tempering carbonated drinks are tempered to avoid condensation, since they are packaged at a temperature below room temperature. Non-carbonated drinks also undergo a tempering process after pasteurization to prevent them from deteriorating due to high temperatures.
- Labeling The products are labeled with all the information on their composition, thus allowing the consumer to know the properties of the different soft drinks. They also carry a code that allows traceability to be able to follow the trail of a product through all stages, from the time it is manufactured to the time it is sold, providing a security guarantee.
- Storage, transport and distribution The already labeled and packaged beverages are stored in duly identified boxes or pallets and in suitable environmental conditions.
