Question

What effect does carbon dioxide have in (i) baking and (ii)beer brewing?

Answer 1

Answer:

I) That's a chemical reaction, producing bubbles of carbon dioxide gas. These bubbles of carbon dioxide make baked goods light and fluffy, by lifting the batter as it bakes.

II) The dangers of CO2 in beer fermentation and carbonation

Brewing tanks tend to be stored with little space around them for the gas to escape. An increase of CO2 levels from as small as 0.5% can have implications on the human body and can start to cause effects such as headaches, drowsiness and nausea.
