Why are soft drink made with chilled water rather than water at room temperature?

A. Ingredients dissolve better in chilled water
B. Chilled water enhances the taste
C. Chilled water attracts more carbon dioxide
D. Chilled water is more hygienic

Check Answer

The correct answer is C) Chilled water attracts more carbon dioxide.

Soft drinks are made with chilled water rather than water at room temperature because chilled water attracts more carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the gas that gives soft drinks their fizz. The colder the water, the more carbon dioxide it can hold in solution, so using chilled water allows for more carbon dioxide to be dissolved into the drink. This results in a fizzier, more refreshing drink. Additionally, chilled water also makes the drink more refreshing as it feels colder when consumed and gives the sense of being more thirst quenching.

It’s important to note that ingredients dissolve better in chilled water, because of the reduction of the solubility of the ingredients with an increase of the temperature and that can affect the taste and the overall quality of the soft drink.

While chilled water is more hygienic than water at room temperature, it’s not the main reason for using chilled water in the production of soft drinks, as the water used for this purpose is usually treated to be drinkable and safe for human consumption.
