In the food and beverage industry, N2O (nitrous oxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are two common inflation gases, and their uses, characteristics and usage methods are different. This article will introduce the difference between mosa's n2o charger and mosa's co2 charger in detail and popularize their practical applications.
N2O charger: Mainly used for whipping cream and flavor enhancement
Features:
-
N2O is a colorless and odorless gas that is soluble in fat and can be stably combined with cream or other dairy products to make them lighter and fluffier.
-
It has a certain sweetness and can enhance the taste of food.
-
It does not carbonate the liquid, so no bubbles are produced.
Main uses:
-
Cream whipping: N2O is the main gas source for cream whippers. It can quickly aerate the cream, making it expand into a dense, delicate foamy cream.
-
Molecular cuisine: In high-end cuisine, N2O can be used to make mousse, foam, sauce, etc., adding a unique taste to the food.
-
Special drinks: Some creative cocktails, milk tea and coffee shops use N2O-aerated cream or foam to add a layered feel to the drinks.
CO2 Nitrogen: Mainly used for carbonation and sparkling drinks
Features:
-
CO2 can be completely dissolved in liquids to form a carbonation effect, which makes the drink produce refreshing bubbles.
-
It is slightly acidic and can affect the taste of the drink, making it slightly sour and refreshing.
-
CO2 does not combine with fat, so it is not suitable for whipping cream.
Main uses:
-
Carbonated beverages: CO2 is a key ingredient in making soda water, carbonated juice, soda, sparkling water and other drinks.
-
Homemade soda water: Using a Soda Maker or CO2 charger, you can easily turn pure water into soda water and add juice, syrup and other flavorings according to your personal taste.
-
Beer and other alcoholic beverages: CO2 is often used to adjust beer and sparkling wine to maintain its bubbles and freshness.
Conclusion
If you want to make delicate cream foam, molecular cuisine or mousse, then choose n2o chargers .If you want to make soda, carbonated drinks or keep the bubbles of beer, then choose co2 chargers.
