The impact of the process water quality on the measurement of the diet concentration
Process water is a crucial ingredient in the production of soft drinks. For sugar-free (diet) beverages, fluctuations in process water quality can significantly affect diet concentration measurements for quality control when using density meters or combined density and sound velocity meters. This effect can be effectively compensated by performing regular process water adjustments.
Every beverage requires high-quality water for its production. Water directly affects taste and consistency and must be free from contaminants, microorganisms, and mineral residues. Consistent and properly treated process water ensures stable production conditions, helping to maintain the purity, flavor, and shelf life of the final beverage.
Process water is not always stable over time, which can significantly affect the accuracy of diet concentration measurements using laboratory density meters, since process water is the main ingredient, and other components contribute little to the beverage's overall density.
This report addresses the issue of process water quality fluctuations and their impact on density measurements and, consequently, on the final diet concentration when all other ingredients (concentrate) remain constant.
