Abstract
The argon and oxygen content of carbonated beverages can be determined accurately by cryogenic gas solid chromatography. The procedure is described and presented in two sections: (a) sampling system and (b) analytical system. The sampling system facilitates the collection of the gases over mercury, absorption of carbon dioxide, and measurement of total air. The analytical system separates the air into its major components on Molecular Sieve 5A and identifies and quantitates them using an Ultrasonic detector and an integrator. Calibration is shown to be linear and precision data is presented.
