CARBONATION

Carbonation

Carbonation or The Fizz is the process of dissolving carbon dioxide in a liquid. The process usually involves carbon dioxide under high pressure. When the pressure is reduced, the carbon dioxide is released from the solution as small bubbles, which causes the solution to become effervescent, or "fizz". An example of carbonation is the dissolving of carbon dioxide in water, resulting in carbonated water.
