Water with carbonic acid - carbon dioxide is not the same as carbonic acid
What is carbonic acid anyway?
The selection of natural mineral water is almost limitless. Also in the supermarket of your choice there is very likely a large selection of carbon dioxide - hidden in transparent or green plastic bottles, in glass bottles, lined up in brown boxes or hidden in cylinders of providers such as sodastream and similar. But what exactly is there in the sparkling water? Here you will find everything related to the underestimated all -rounder carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a real miracle of nature! That is why it becomes a little scientific at this point: it is created in a chemical reaction of CO₂ (carbon dioxide) with water. And now the exciting thing comes: In order for the carbon dioxide to combine with the water into carbon dioxide, pressure is necessary. It is built up by literally 'pressing' CO₂ into the water. This process bears the name carbonization - that's what the scientists call it. This step is already done industrially if you hievst a box of mineral water in your shopping cart. Or he can do it directly At your home in one Water bubbler be performed. In the version with bubbler, of course, you will save yourself the part with the shopping cart.
Fossil CO₂ vs. Biogenes CO₂
If you use a bubbler from Sodastream, Mysoda or another provider, then the topic of carbonic acid plays a larger role in your life. But have you heard of fossil and biogenic CO₂? Where is the difference? We can tell you that.
Food -quality carbon dioxide can be obtained through natural sources, or through industrial processes. Unfortunately, most of the CO₂ from the latter still arises today. For example in the processing of oil and natural gas or by release from carbonates through acids. If you thoroughly clean the so -called "raw carbon dioxide" obtained, you can also use it in the food industry if you check it regularly. Such fossil sources release CO₂ that was saved a long time ago. The carbon dioxide obtained, which can be found in some cylinders, can also be referred to as fossil CO₂. It continues to enrich the air with the climate -damaging gas. This not only sounds unsightly, but in our opinion it is no longer part of a modern offer of coal acid cartridges.
Production of fossil CO₂ for water with carbon dioxide
Regardless of whether you are your carbonic acid from soda button using Cylinder screws or Click cylinder, always bring things into your water bubble: in our cartridges you will find so -called biogenes CO₂. Carbon dioxide is used for this carbon dioxide, which is obtained as a by -product in the production of bioethanol. Various vegetable raw materials such as grain and sugar beet are used for this. In the case of the corresponding alcoholic fermentation, bioethanol systems contain CO₂-containing raw gas. This gas is then prepared from this gas by a sophisticated process of biogenic CO₂, which can be easily used for use in food. This principle only releases as much CO₂ as before was taken from the atmosphere by the corresponding plants. As a result, the CO₂ content in the air does not increase. The biogenic carbon dioxide used by us is therefore a particularly environmentally friendly alternative with carbonic acid from sustainable sources.
Production of biogenic CO₂ for water with carbon dioxide
So if you are your next carbonated cartridge or yours Swap new cylinder or Buy a new cylinder have to make sure you Sustainable CO₂ select. It is an easy way to reduce your CO₂ footprint without having to do without tingling water with carbon dioxide. The origin of the carbon acid bottle in your bubble of Sodastream and Co. makes an important difference here.
Our CO₂ cylinders are also sustainable: they can be filled again several times, which reduces transport routes and plastic waste. Instead of buying bottles regularly, you can bubble your own water with carbon dioxide at home - easier, cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
Is water with carbonic acid unhealthy?
Again and again there are reservations about water with carbon dioxide. But is that really true?
In fact, water with carbon dioxide has some advantages. It can stimulate digestion, promote salivation and even create a longer feeling of satiety. In addition, carbonic acid prevents the growth of germs in the water.
A widespread myth is that water attacks the teeth with carbon dioxide. In truth, the acid is too weak - only with extremely long contact under laboratory conditions could it affect the tooth enamel. The belief that carbonic acid reduces the bone density is also not scientifically proven.
However, you should pay attention to what else is in your drink. While pure water with carbon dioxide is completely harmless, many soft drinks contain large amounts of sugar or acids that can actually be harmful. Are a healthy alternative natural fruit aromaswith which you can upgrade your water with carbon dioxide - without sugar or artificial additives.
That is why our CO₂ cylinder with taste Neither sugar nor sweeteners! This allows you to enjoy your water with carbonic acid without worries.
Correct storage of CO₂ cylinders for sparkling water with carbon dioxide
So that you have long (pre-) joy in your cabbage acid cartridges and you can also store it for a long time, there are a few important points to consider. Since CO₂ is a gas that is sensitive to heat, you should make sure that your carbonated bottles not exposed to the direct sun become. The high heat can lead to the carbon dioxide developing too high pressure in your cylinder, which then wants to go outwards.
But even if you protect your carbonated cylinder from the sun, your intended deposit may warm up too much. The Room temperature For your carbon dioxide, there should not be above 50 degrees. Also make sure that you do not store our aroma cylinder over 35 degrees if possible, so that the natural fruit aroma feels comfortable and the taste in the cylinder remains unchanged.
In general, your cylinders should be with carbon dioxide (whether from sodastream, Sopapop or other providers) in an upright position and In the unopened original condition on one well -ventilated place be stored.
If you take all of this into account, nothing stands in the way of enjoying your water with carbon dioxide.
Conclusion: water with carbonic acid - sustainable and refreshing
Water with carbon dioxide is not only lively and refreshing, but is also able to bring additional healthy properties to your water bottle. Here, too, you can choose the particularly sustainable variant of the biogenic CO₂, which makes the carbon dioxide in your carbonated patron even better for the environment.
With the Choice of a water bustler (regardless of whether Sodastream, Mysoda, Sodamaxx or another manufacturer), you also choose a smaller CO₂ footprint. The cylinders used with carbon dioxide not only save you the dragging of water boxes, but also a lot of potential plastic waste.
And last but not least, you can give your water with carbon dioxide through our natural fruit aroma with your bubbler with a screw cap with carbon dioxide. Without any sugar, without any sweetener.
