Abstract
Carbonating agents are prepared by reacting bicarbonate ions with the amino moiety of glucosamine or galatosamine in aqueous solution to form glucoasamine bicarbonate or galactosamine bicarbonate. The bicarbonate is then isolated by drying. The resulting dry 2-amino sugar bicarbonate is stable at room temperature and can be used as a carbonating agent. It may be used with other constituents to form a dry beverage mix. Upon rehydration, the 2-amino sugar bicarbonate releases carbon dioxide and additionally imparts a mild sweet taste to the carbonated beverage.
