Soft Drink manufacturers are challenged with the need to comply with consumer safety standards and simultaneously optimize production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain consistent product quality by monitoring critical process parameters.
Sugar & Caffeine
Control of caffeine and sugar content is necessary to maintain consistent product quality. Offline analysis by laboratory methods introduces significant time and cost demand caused by sample pre-treatment and consumable materials. As a non-destructive and maintenance-free technique, Near-infrared Spectroscopy eliminates these demands.
Total Acidity
Total acidity quantification with online spectroscopic methods are a direct substitution to standard titration methods. In contrast to an offline titration method, online spectroscopy allows for in-process measurements without the need for consumable materials or chemicals. As phosphoric acid is the predominant acid in soft drinks, the total acidity is determined quantitatively by the detection of phosphoric acid with Raman Spectroscopy.
Near-Infrared & Raman Spectroscopy
Near-infrared (NIR) & Raman Spectroscopy enable real-time results of critical process parameters in the soft drink manufacturing process such as sugar, caffeine & titratable acidity.
Soda Blending for Soft Drink Production
We recently attended the SPIE Photonics West Show in San Francisco, CA. As part of our display, we showcased a demonstration of an application to determine the concentration of syrup used in soda blending and soft drink production. Chris Krapf demonstrates in the video below.
