With over 70 years of experience, Maselli is a family-owned Italian company specialized in the development of sensors for liquid analysis in industrial applications. Over time, Maselli has expanded its know-how to deliver ever-evolving solutions tailored to the needs of today’s production environments.
As far as concerns the beverage industry, Maselli provides in-line and laboratory instrumentation designed to optimize process operations and quality control. Modern industries increasingly demand innovative solutions to ensure product standardization, continuous inspections, and streamlined internal procedures. In this context, high-quality measurement instruments make a real difference when it comes to monitoring process performance and final product quality.
A focus on soft drink production: the importance of monitoring the Oxygen parameter
In addition to the traditional parameters measured during the soft drink manufacturing process, such as Brix, Fresh Brix, Diet, and CO2, Oxygen is a variable that is increasingly gaining in importance among soft drink producers and bottlers, who are well aware of the negative consequences this key parameter may have on the final product’s quality and durability.
Depending on the beverage’s composition, high levels of dissolved oxygen in soft drinks may have a considerable impact on the soft drink’s quality and shelf life, regardless of the packaging. A fundamental parameter in beverage manufacturing has become Dissolved Oxygen, especially nowadays, where it is critical to ensure excessive oxygen exposure throughout the process does not impact the quality of the final drink.
What happens if you don’t monitor O2?
Numerous soft drinks are naturally subject to oxidation. Elevated levels of dissolved oxygen (O2) within soft drinks interfere with the ingredients and can lead to alterations in taste and aroma, shifts in color, and a reduction in nutritional content. The oxidation process accelerates with higher oxygen concentrations within the beverage container and is increased by high temperatures.
As oxygen needs to be avoided all the way through production, it is important to measure oxygen throughout the process, but fundamental to have this parameter under control during the last steps of production, from bottling to laboratory testing on the final can or bottle. This stage guarantees the final customer’s satisfaction.
The solution to monitor O2 in the final package: Maselli TP10 | TPO Analyzer
To ensure customer satisfaction, quality control is recommended on the final package. High oxygen levels in the package’s Headspace cause a shorter shelf-life, as well as package deterioration, and product leakage.
The Maselli TP10 is an innovative Total Package Analyzer designed for the beverage industry. One of the main features of the analyzer is its universal sampling capability: the TP10 can perform measurements on a wide variety of package shapes and sizes. Once the sample is placed into the TP10, the analyzer automatically pierces the container and measures the headspace volume and O2 concentration of both the liquid and the headspace of the package.
The TP10 user interface operates on a web-based software platform, making data analysis and collection quick and easy from anywhere, as communication with existing data collection systems is integrated. Operations from the local display are intuitive, making the instrument ideal for all laboratory operators without the need for experienced users. The analyzer can also be remotely accessed through a user password-protected software interface to extract data for statistical analysis or troubleshooting.
The Maselli TP10 is designed to operate at line in a production environment or in a central QC laboratory. The sensors are enclosed in a waterproof housing designed for easy access for system validations and sensor maintenance.
