Abstract
A dry carbonation source for preparing a carbonated beverage and a method for preparing the same, and a dry carbonated beverage concentrate are provided. The dry carbonation source is prepared by reducing the particle size of calcium carbonate in presence of an aqueous solution of a carbohydrate to form a colloidal suspension of calcium carbonate in the aqueous carbohydrate solution, and then drying this suspension to provide a solid suspension of finely-divided calcium carbonate dispersed within a matrix of the carbohydrate. This dry carbonation source is employed with other beverage ingredients to provide a dry carbonated beverage concentrate which readily dissolves to provide a carbonated beverage free from sediment.
