Abstract: A process for packaging pressurized beverages. The process includes mixing liquid, a solute that depresses the freezing point of the liquid, and gas. Next, the liquid-gas mixture is allowed to rest. Then, retail containers are filled with the mixture. During the mixing and filling steps of the process, the liquid-gas mixture is subjected to pressures that are higher than atmospheric pressure. Unfortunately, such pressure cannot be maintained when the container is transferred from the filling station to the sealing station causing dissolved gas to leave the liquid and foam to overflow the container during the transfer. To prevent such an overflow, prior to the transfer, the dissolved gas is put to sleep by reducing the temperature of the liquid to below 0° C. (32° F.) and optionally allowing the liquid-gas mixture to rest. The liquid beverage may include milk, coffee, tea, fruit juice, chocolate or mixtures thereof, and may include a gum.
