Overrun, as Applied to Carbonated Beverages

Overrun Definition

Overrun is defined as product expansion that takes place in the frozen carbonated drink. It is caused primarily by CO gas
2
breakout and secondarily by freezing.

Overrun is a Variable

The percentage or degree of overrun depends on a number of factors. The specific syrup, BRIX, low dispensing volume,
carbonation level in the liquid product and freezing of the product. These items all affect overrun. After these factors have
been considered, desired viscosity (product consistency) adjustment may be made on the unit. The viscosity adjustment
adjusts product texture from very wet to light.

Specific Product Ingredients Affect Overrun

Each syrup has its own specific formulation of makeup. Fruit flavors contain citric acids that colas do not. Colas also differ in
ingredients from one brand to another. Each product formulation has its own peculiarities regarding the way the product
absorbs carbonation and the way it releases carbonation.
