With the change of lifestyle, modern people’s drinking habits have gradually changed. Among them, more and more people like to add gas to beverages to make the beverages have a dense bubble taste, such as sparkling water, foam drinks and nitrogen coffee, etc. It has a dense bubble taste and can also increase the flavor of the beverage when drinking (such as nitrogen coffee can effectively remove the bitterness in coffee, or the chlorine smell in drinking water, etc.). The dense bubbles in the beverage are also absorbed by the human intestinal tract There is positive help. The conventional method of making sparkling water mainly injects beverage and gas into a container at the same time, bringing the two into contact and mixing with each other, so that the water and gas mix with each other to form a sparkling beverage. However, since the dissolution efficiency of the current bubble drink manufacturing structure is still not high, the production and generation time of the bubble drink is quite time-consuming, which will lead to an increase in production costs.
