APPLICATIONS
Whipping and aeration are processes used in the food industry to incorporate air or gas into mixtures, increasing volume and creating light, airy textures. These techniques are essential in producing whipped cream, mousses, ice cream, cakes, soufflés, marshmallows, and foamy beverages.
Nitrous oxide is commonly used in whipped cream dispensers to create a whipped texture. Carbon dioxide is used in carbonated beverages and some aerated confectioneries for a bubbly effect. Air is incorporated into batters and ice cream during mechanical whipping and churning, resulting in light, fluffy, and creamy textures — These gases enhance the texture and appeal of various food products.

Industrial gases like nitrous oxide (N₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are used to incorporate air into food products, creating a light and airy texture. These gases help achieve the desired volume, consistency, and texture in whipped and aerated food products.
The most commonly used gases for whipping and aeration are nitrous oxide (N₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Nitrogen (N₂) is also used in some applications.
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is soluble in fats and water, making it ideal for whipping creams, mousses, and other dairy products. It helps to rapidly incorporate air into the mixture, creating a stable foam with a light and airy texture.
Benefits include fast and efficient aeration, stable foam formation, extended shelf life of whipped products, and improved texture and mouthfeel. N₂O also imparts a slight sweet flavor, enhancing the taste of the product.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is used to carbonate beverages and create effervescence in food products. It is also used in baking applications to aerate doughs and batters, resulting in a light and airy texture.
Products include whipped cream, mousses, ice cream, carbonated beverages, bakery products, foams, and specialty coffee drinks. These products rely on aeration to achieve their characteristic textures and flavors.
Industrial gases help achieve consistent and uniform aeration, resulting in better texture, stability, and appearance. They also enhance the sensory attributes of food products, such as creaminess, smoothness, and mouthfeel.
Yes, food-grade industrial gases can be used in organic and natural food preparations as long as they meet the regulatory requirements and standards for organic certification.
