Food-Grade Nitrous Oxide
We supply nitrous oxide in various purities and concentrations through storage and transportation in canisters, bottles, tanks, and cylinders from DSW.
Food-grade nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a highly pure form that complies with stringent safety and quality standards for use in the food and beverage industry.
Features of Food-Grade Nitrous Oxide
- Purity: Typically ≥ 99.9% pure N₂O, free from toxic or industrial contaminants.
- Odourless and Tasteless: It does not alter the flavour of food.
- Non-flammable and Inert: Safe for use in food handling environments.
- Complies with Regulations: Meets food safety standards such as E942 in the EU and equivalents in other regions.
Nitrous Oxide Bottle and Contents
N2O in compressed-gas cylinders exists in liquid and gaseous forms. Liquid N2O from the factory typically fills to 95% capacity. Above this layer lies N₂O gas, and at 25°C (70°F), approximately 750 psig pressure is present within each E and G cylinder.

Main Uses
- Whipped Cream Dispensers
Food-grade N₂O is a propellant to aerate cream in whipped cream chargers and dispensers, creating an instantly light, fluffy texture. - Rapid Infusions in Molecular Gastronomy
Chefs use it to infuse flavours into alcohol, oils, or liquids within seconds—a technique popular in modern culinary arts. - Food Preservation and Packaging
In certain instances, it assists in displacing oxygen in packaging to preserve freshness.
