Important selective characteristics, such as a low pH value and a high CO2 content, largely protect alcohol-free beverages from microbial spoilage. However, due to the omnipresent conidiospores moulds (particularly Penicillium spp.), non-sparkling beverages require pasteurisation under gentle conditions (Fig. 2).
Together with blending and carbonation, degassing of liquids plays a key role in the soft drinks production process.
