The Electronic Nose

Electronic noses, sophisticated sensors that create digital fingerprints of smells, are being used by an increasing number of industries for quality control and product development. Food manufacturers may now be about to follow suit. One of the most important objectives of food production is to achieve a uniform, high quality of both raw materials and the final product. A particular concern for fruit processors is the systematic determination of fruit ripeness under harvest and post-harvest conditions, because variability in ripeness is perceived by consumers as a lack of quality. Engineers have recently devised an "electronic nose" that will help both the fruit processors, and ordinary shoppers, solve the perennial problem of how to determine the ripeness of fruit consistently.

Change Brewing in Global Beer Industry

Heineken and South African Breweries are setting the pace of consolidation in global brewing but Carlsberg is looking to play a more active role in the future. The world beer market is highly fragmented and ripe for consolidation with the top twenty players accounting for less than half of sales. The global beer industry has also been slow to internationalise. Many of the world's largest brewers (see Table), such as Anheuser Busch and Miller of the US, Brahma of Brazil, and South African Breweries are still heavily reliant on their domestic markets, where growth opportunities are limited, and have consequently been seeking to expand abroad. Anheuser-Busch generates only about 15% of its volume sales outside the US, in contrast to Heineken, Carlsberg and Interbrew which each earn over 85% of their revenue in foreign markets.

Sulfur Impurities in Beverage Grade Carbon Dioxide; Analytically Ensuring Product Quality

It has been known for many years that sulfur compounds are particularly aggressive in imparting unwanted changes in the flavor of the product. Historically, a "Taste Test" has been used on the final product. It can screen against the release of poor taste, but cannot guard against the use of contaminated raw materials used in the final formula. Carbon dioxide is a raw material added during the bottling process. It is required to be extremely pure. Many of the possible impurities are limited to less than 1.0ppm in total content. Sulfur components are held to an even lower specification. Typically, a specification for hydrogen sulfide or carbonyl sulfide can be as low as 50ppb maximum.
