The art and science of beverage technology
To provide a forum for the free flow of information related to beverage gases and their use. Where questions, ideas and problems related to beverage gases and their utilization can be openly presented without apprehension, and with the expectation of receiving a satisfactory discussion, answer or solution. Where beverage gases manufacturers, beverage producers and other industry members can share mutually beneficial technologies, i.e., technical advantages, breakthroughs, concerns, etc., that will enhance the beverage industry, without disparaging direct and indirect competitors or others in the beverage gases and beverage industry.

Argon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen — gases in the air surrounding us — are colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating. They are also used in a wide variety of markets and applications within the food and beverage industry. This course was created to give you an understanding of their history, properties, purity requirements, hazards, safety precautions, and more.

In order to supply beverages, we must have ingredients. Without them, a beverage cannot exist. There are different types of beverages, and, naturally, these different types have different ingredients. This Beverage Ingredients course offers a deep dive into understanding the principles of the chemistry, manufacturing, quality guidelines, and applications of the most common ingredients in beverages we consume.
The CO2 module was developed in conjunction with the Beverage Gases Technical Committee.
