Systems and techniques for enhancing packaged beverages

Abstract

Systems and methods for releasing one or more non-gaseous remediating components into a packaged beverage upon opening of the packaged beverage are provided herein. For example, a cartridge includes a cap that is releasably secured to a top end of a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body may include an inner chamber and an outer chamber. The outer chamber may fill with dissolved gas when the outer chamber reaches a pressure equilibrium with the packaged beverage. The cap may include a pinhole orifice configured to restrict fluid flow between the outer chamber and an environment external to the cartridge such that when the packaged beverage is opened, the pinhole orifice restricts the gas within the outer chamber from flowing to the external environment, thereby causing the cap to decouple from the top end of the cylindrical body and release the remediating components housed in the inner chamber into the packaged beverage. 20 26 23 40 08 16 S ep 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 6 2 3 4 0 0 8 1 6 S e p
