Abstract: The effects of respective additions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), propylene glycol alginate (PGA), arabic gum and guar gum on carbon dioxide volumetric capacity in carbonated soft drinks packaged with PET were studied. By carbon dioxide release rate after package opening, carbonated soft drinks with separately added four food gums at a level of 0.05% could be ranked as follows: CMC < PGA < arabic gum < guar gum. During storage at 37 ℃ for 4 weeks, the attenuation rate of carbon dioxide volumetric capacity was decreased in the following order: guar gum > arabic gum >CMC > PGA.

Key words: sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, propylene glycol alginate, arabic gum, guar gum, carbonated soft drinks, volumetric carbon dioxide capacity
