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 CO2 gas 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 hav 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 Ingredi-
ents 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.
