Anton Paar Applications
Filling Wine from Bag-in-Box Packages for Dissolved Gas Analysis
Direct transfer of wine from Bag-In-Box packages is essential for adequate analysis of dissolved oxygen and dissolved carbon dioxide in wine.
Starch Decomposition with Subsequent Polarimetric Content Determination
This method is suitable for the determination of starch and high molecular weight starch degradation products in food or feedstuffs in compliance with the EC Commission Directive 86/174/EEC and Council Directive 96/25/EC. Please note that this method requi
How to transfer Sample from Beverage Cartons
The determination of dissolved oxygen in beverages filled in cartons without changing the dissolved oxygen concentration during sample transfer is in demand.
Improve Digestion Quality and Save Money – Microwave Digestion rules out Open Digestion
Reliable elemental analysis results need robust sample preparation to destroy sample matrices or to separate matrix from analytes. The sample preparation step is by far the most error-prone and critical step of the analytical procedure.
At-line Measurement directly at the Tank with OxyQC, CarboQC At-line and CboxQC At-line
Perfect quality before transport, perfect quality upon arrival: meters for dissolved carbon dioxide and oxygen analysis give an insight on a beverage's composition before and after transport.

Benefits
Choose the long-standing trusted partner of the wine industry
With more than 20 years of experience in developing and distributing wine analysis instrumentation for more than 20 key wine quality parameters, Anton Paar is the market leader in beverage analysis. The portfolio includes measuring instruments for inline, at-line, and laboratory wine analysis. Combining laboratory and process instruments yields many benefits, especially for bigger producers; at the same time, each solution can stand on its own for accurate, reliable, and safe measurements. Anton Paar instruments will help you to provide your wine products in consistent quality and control them at every production step – from harvesting until final bottling.
Go from fast screening to in-depth wine analysis in lab and process
More than 20 key quality parameters that you can analyze with Anton Paar instrumentation guarantee you in-depth knowledge about your wine and the right solution for your individual challenge in wine production. Solutions include the Lyza 5000 FTIR analyzer for fast screenings of more than 13 quality parameters in must, must in fermentation, and wine. Big wine producers and wine bottlers find many advantages in combining laboratory and process instrumentation, as shown in the graphic above, e.g. to control product quality or to reduce sample handling times. Wine farmers, on the other hand, might go for smaller solutions, such as DMA 35, while wine analysis labs need fast and comprehensive results that are delivered by FTIR.
Benefits for wine farmers
With the right analysis equipment you can easily answer questions such as:
- When is the best time to harvest my grapes?
- Do my grapes have the quality I expect?
Parameters you can measure to achieve this include grape sugar content and the acidity of grape juice. With this information you will be able to:
- Determine the stage of grape development
- Decide on the right time for harvest
- Follow changes in the acid composition
