Abstract

A carbonation system (20) is disclosed that effectively controls the treatment of fruits and vegetables with C02 gas, providing enhanced flavor to fruits and vegetables. One embodiment of the invention uses a microprocessor (24) to preferably monitor and control the pressure, temperature and gas flow within a sealable enclosure (22) to effectively control the carbonation of fruits and vegetables. Another embodiment consists of a combination carbonation system and cooler (74) that effectively controls the carbonation of fruits and vegetables by including pressure relief devices (80) and an insulation cover (98). The insulation cover (98) has apertures (100) that provide for the distribution of C02. A third embodiment is disclosed that also consists of a combination carbonation system and cooler (104). This third embodiment controls carbonation by including, among other features, feedback mechanisms (156) and a pressure relief device (122). A method of using the first embodiment is also provided.
