Carbonated Gas

Carbonated gas refers to a gas that is dissolved in a liquid under pressure. Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used gas for this purpose. When the pressure is released, for example by opening a bottle or can of a carbonated beverage, the gas comes out of the solution in the form of many tiny bubbles. Carbonated gas is used in various industries, particularly in the food and beverage industry.
