Packaging container using a system of fermentation to produce a propulsive gas

Claim 1

A container for packing under pressure a liquid or pasty fluid, provided with a distribution valve, with said fluid to be distributed being placed under pressure by means of propulsive gas composed of carbon gas obtained by anaerobic fermentation of a fermentation system containing sugars, using yeasts, with a components of said fermentations system being selected qualitatively and quantitatively so that the carbon gas produced creates a pressure inside the packing container which is capable of ensuring the distribution of the fluid by said valve, wherein the fermentation system is contained in a chamber provided inside said container, said chamber comprising a small rigid reservoir which is normally closed by a valve, said valve being calibrated to open only when the pressure in said reservoir exceeds by a given value the pressure prevailing in the interior space of the container, said reservoir being ballasted so that the liquid phase of the fermentation system is located vertically beneath said valve, whatever the position of said container.
