FIELD: food industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. The acidified carbonated beverage contains a base beverage and an agent regulating foam formation and/or an agent regulating carbon dioxide emission. The regulating agent includes a polyoxyethylenesorbitan compound ether of a fatty acid or a poly ethylene glycol compound ether of a fatty acid and has hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value equal to 7 -16. The agent is present in an amount of 0.01 - 250 mg/l. The beverage preparation method involves the regulating agent addition into the base beverage. The method for reduction of foam formation and/or improvement of carbon dioxide retention in the acidified carbonated beverage involves the said regulating agent addition into the beverage. Application of a polyoxyethylenesorbitan compound ether of a fatty acid or a poly ethylene glycol compound ether of a fatty acid for reduction of foam formation and/or improvement of carbon dioxide retention in the acidified carbonated beverage.
EFFECT: inventions group allows to mitigate the problems of excessive and/or stable foam formation and fast loss of carbon dioxide during the beverage bottling and/or filling.
