From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carbonated milk or soda milk is a carbonated soft drink. It can be made from powdered milk or fresh milk, and often has added flavor.[1] In addition to modified taste and texture, carbonated milk also has a longer shelf-life and increases flavor intensity.[2][3]

Carbonated milk is most popular in Asia.[4]

Manufacture

Carbonated milk can be produced by fermentation and other methods.[5]

With fermentation, yeast is added to the milk, producing a yogurt-like effervescent beverage. Along with carbon dioxide, the yeast also produces lactic acid, aroma compounds and a small amount of ethanol. Examples of carbonated milk beverages produced using fermentation include kefir and kumis.[5]

Aside from fermentation, carbonation can be produced by physical or chemical means. The "dry" method involves adding powdered milk to a liquid, which then produces carbon dioxide when the two are mixed. Another method involves physically mixing the milk with carbon dioxide to produce the carbonated beverage.[5]

Brands

Vio is a mix of flavored milk and carbonated water made by The Coca-Cola Company.[4] In India, it is sold primarily sold by large brands, including Nestle, Amul and Britannia.[2] Milkis is a type of Carbonated Milk, primarily sold in Korea, as well as Taiwan and other countries.[6]
