So, what is carbin dioxide?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring gas that is essential to life on Earth. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is formed during respiration and combustion processes. In the food industry, carbon dioxide is used as a food ingredient and a natural preservative. It is commonly used in carbonated drinks to provide the fizziness and in baking to make bread rise. Carbon dioxide is also used in food packaging to extend the shelf life of products. As a food ingredient, it is safe for consumption and has no adverse effects on health when used within recommended levels.
