摘要 |
A container for a carbonated beverage comprises a closure which optionally comprises a closure liner, a container body having a sidewall comprising a polyester composition suitable for packaging a carbonated beverage, and a porous, absorptive inorganic additive which is disposed in the closure, the closure liner, the side wall, or combinations thereof, and is capable of absorbing carbon dioxide. Such a container is well suited for packaging aqueous carbonated beverages to replace at least a portion of carbon dioxide that is lost from the packaged beverage via permeation. Thus, a packaged carbonated beverage and a corresponding method of packaging a carbonated beverage are also disclosed.
