In the food industry, the quality of raw materials is crucial. It is therefore essential to test everything from the input materials to the finished drinks<\/strong> during production to ensure that the resulting products are safe and tasty. One of the key factors affecting the final quality is the purity of the carbon dioxide (CO\u2082)<\/strong> used to carbonate the drinks. <\/p>\n

Why is CO\u2082 purity important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Carbon dioxide used in beverages must meet strict standards: at least 99.9% purity<\/strong>. Even trace amounts of impurities, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, can be noticed by consumers as an undesirable odor or taste change<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

If impurities in CO\u2082 are not captured in time, they can only be seen in the finished beverage on the shelves. Customer complaints then reveal a problem that could have been prevented. That is why accurate and timely CO\u2082 analysis is key<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

How does Coca-Cola control the quality <\/strong>of its CO\u2082<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Previously, CO\u2082 samples were collected by hand, taken to a lab, and subjected to tests that could take up to an hour<\/strong>. This process involved the use of chemicals and labware<\/strong>, which not only slowed production but also increased the potential for human error. <\/p>\n

Today, Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast uses the Thermo Scientific MAX-Bev System<\/a><\/strong>, which uses FT-IR spectroscopy<\/strong> to quickly and accurately analyze CO\u2082 directly upon delivery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Advantages of FTIR spectroscopy in the MAX-Bev System<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2714 Real-time measurement<\/strong>: Analysis takes approximately nine minutes<\/strong>, allowing for immediate quality control.
\u2714 Trace impurity detection<\/strong>: FT-IR spectroscopy can identify impurities at ppm and ppb<\/strong> (parts per million\/billion) levels, such as aromatic hydrocarbons at a concentration of 0.02 ppm<\/strong>.
\u2714 Automation and minimization of human error<\/strong>: The system automatically evaluates CO\u2082 purity and provides a simple \u201cpass\/fail\u201d output<\/strong>, reducing the risk of incorrect decisions.
\u2714 Process acceleration<\/strong>: Lab technicians do not have to handle samples, wait for results, or return to suppliers with complaints.<\/p>\n

MAX-Bev<\/a>: a reliable system providing fast and accurate results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How is CO\u2082 testing done upon receipt of a delivery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Upon arrival of the tanker, a laboratory technician will verify the seals and documentation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. The CO\u2082 sample is automatically collected and analyzed<\/strong> using the MAX-Bev System spectrometer.<\/li>\n
  3. Results are displayed within minutes<\/strong>. If the CO\u2082 meets Coca-Cola and ISBT (International Society of Beverage Technologists) standards, the shipment is approved. <\/li>\n
  4. If the CO\u2082 does not meet the required values<\/strong>, the delivery is rejected, thus preventing possible spoilage of the beverages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The importance of FT-IR spectroscopy in the food industry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Using FT-IR spectroscopy allows the detection of impurities at levels that would be difficult to measure<\/strong> using other methods. For beverage and food manufacturers, it is a key tool to ensure consistent taste and product safety.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
