1. A method for prepressurizing a product dispensing container, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a pouch having a first compartment containing a first chemical reactant and a second compartment having a second reactant, said pouch being provided with releasable sealing means for releasably sealing said first compartment and said second compartment and for separating said first compartment and said second compartment from one another to prevent mixing of said first chemical reactant and said second chemical reactant, at least a portion of said pouch containing a predetermined quantity of a first gas;

    inserting said pouch into said container;

    closing said container; and

    generating, before introducing any product into the container, at least a partial vacuum in said container to release said sealing means and expand said pouch under pressure from said gas, thereby enabling mixing of said first chemical reactant and said second chemical reactant to generate a predetermined quantity of a second gas for further expansion of said pouch and pressurization thereof to a predetermined pressure.
