Effects of truck transport vibration on the carbonation level of soft drinks in 2L PET bottles.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of transport vibration on carbonation level of guarana soft drink
packed in 2 liters PET bottle (53g). The transport simulation (vibration test) was carried out on sets composed of 8
multipacks, arranged directly onto a MTS Vibration Table, in multipacks interlocking stacking (4 layers), during 3
hours. Each multipack had 6 bottles. The CO2 level was determined by manometric method, before and after 1, 2 and 3h
of vibration simulation, and 48h after the end of vibration. All tests were carried out at 23 ºC. No significant difference
was verified on carbonation level and bottle dimensions after 1500 km truck transport simulation.
