Abstract
A container having pressurized gas, the container includes an outlet, a liquid substance, a first gas dissolved in the liquid substance; and a noble gas. The liquid substance and the first gas are dispensed from the outlet when the container is oriented in a first position, and between 10-90% of gas that is dispensed from the outlet when the container is oriented in a second position includes the noble gas and the pressurized gas within the container has a pressure that is between 100 to 300 psi, wherein the liquid substance comprises less than 20% by weight of fat prior to dissolution of the first gas therein.
Claims25
A container comprising pressurized gas, the container comprising:
- a liquid substance;
- a first gas dissolved in the liquid substance;
- and
- a noble gas, wherein:
- the first gas increases a volume of the liquid substance when the liquid substance is dispensed from the container,
- a total weight of the first gas within the container is between 0.1 to 9 times that of the noble gas;
- and
- a pressurized atmosphere above the liquid substance and the dissolved first gas within the container comprises between 50% to 90% by weight of the first gas and the pressurized gas within the container has a pressure that is between 100 to 300 psi, wherein the liquid substance comprises less than 20% by weight of fat prior to dissolution of the first gas therein.
A container comprising pressurized gas, the container comprising:
- an outlet;
- a liquid substance;
- a first gas dissolved in the liquid substance;
- and
- a noble gas, wherein
- the liquid substance and the first gas are dispensed from the outlet when the container is oriented in a first position, and
- between 10-90% of gas that is dispensed from the outlet when the container is oriented in a second position comprises the noble gas and the pressurized gas within the container has a pressure that is between 100 to 300 psi, wherein the liquid substance comprises less than 20% by weight of fat prior to dissolution of the first gas therein.
A method of producing a pressurized container, the method comprising:
- introducing a liquid substance into the container;
- introducing a first gas into the container, the first gas dissolving in the liquid substance;
- introducing a noble gas into the container into a pressurized atmosphere above the liquid substance within the container;
- providing an outlet to the container from which the liquid substance, the first gas, or the noble gas can be dispensed;
- and
- sealing the container to maintain a pressure of between 100 to 300 psi inside the container;
- wherein:
- the first gas increases a volume of the liquid substance upon dispensing of the liquid substance from the container;
- a total weight of the first gas within the container is between 0.1 to 9 times that of the noble gas;
- and
- a pressurized atmosphere within the container comprises less than 50% by weight of the first gas, wherein the liquid substance comprises less than 20% by weight of fat prior to dissolution of the first gas therein.
A pressurized container, the container comprising:
- nitrous oxide;
- argon;
- and
- a liquid selected from dairy milk and vegan non-dairy milk,
- wherein an internal pressure of the pressurized container is between 1.5 bar to 10 bar, the nitrous oxide dissolves in the liquid and increases a volume of the liquid when the liquid is dispensed from the container, a total weight of nitrous oxide within the container is between 0.1 to 9 times that of argon;
- and a pressurized atmosphere within the container above the liquid comprises between 10% to 90% by weight of nitrous oxide.
A pressurized container, the container comprising:
- a removable top lid;
- a food substance;
- nitrous oxide gas, a portion of the nitrous oxide gas dissolves in the food substance;
- and
- argon gas, wherein
- an internal pressure of the pressurized container is between 1.5 bar to 10 bar,
- the nitrous oxide increases a volume of the food substance when removable top lid is at least partially detached from the pressurized container.
A method for manufacturing a pressurized beverage can, the method comprising:
- dispensing a beverage into the can;
- fastening a removable top to the can;
- and
- introducing nitrous oxide and argon gas into the can through an inlet in the can to obtain an internal pressure within the can of between 1.5 bar to 10 bar, wherein
- a total weight of nitrous oxide within the container is between 0.1 to 9 times that of argon;
- and a pressurized atmosphere within the can above the liquid comprises between 10% to 90% by weight of nitrous oxide, wherein the nitrous oxide is configured to increase a volume of the beverage when the removable top is at least partially removed from the can.
A container comprising pressurized gas, the container comprising:
- a liquid substance;
- a first gas dissolved in the liquid substance;
- and
- argon gas, wherein
- the first gas increases a volume of the liquid substance when the liquid substance is dispensed from the container;
- the liquid substance comprises less than 20% by weight of fat prior to dissolution of the first gas therein;
- the pressurized gas within the container above the liquid substance and the dissolved first gas has a pressure that is between 100 to 300 psi;
- and
- when gaseous content from the container is released from the container, the gaseous content has between 10-90% of argon gas.
