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.
Evolving consumer trends drive innovation in dealcoholized beverages
In recent years, shifting consumer preferences have significantly reshaped the beverage industry. Among the most notable trends is the growing demand for low- and noalcohol options, driven by increasing health consciousness, lifestyle choices, and regulatory pressures.
This shift has prompted producers to adapt quickly, embracing innovative technologies to meet the new expectations without compromising on quality or sensory experience. From alcohol-free beers to partially or fully dealcoholized wines, the demand for sophisticated production and control processes is at an all-time high.
Ensuring consistency, taste, and compliance in these products requires precise analytical tools that can keep pace with the sector’s rapid evolution.
Maselli’s commitment to innovation ensures that producers are equipped with reliable, high-performance instrumentation to support quality control and R&D in this fast-growing segment.
An innovative technology to measure low/no alcohol content in Beer & Wine: Maselli LP10 System
Understanding the critical importance of this transition, Maselli has promptly expanded its laboratory product range to address the challenges faced by alcoholic beverage manufacturers. The company has developed a dedicated instrument specifically designed for the accurate measurement of Alcohol and Extract parameters – even in products with very low or zero alcohol content.
This includes Alcohol-free Beer, Partially Dealcoholized Wine, and Dealcoholized Wine. The Maselli LP10 | Laboratory Package for Alcohol Analysis is a compact system designed to measure the key quality parameters in alcoholic beverage production. Low alcohol concentrations are detected thanks to the innovative technology behind the project.
The combination of two different technologies – Refractive Index and Sound Velocity – allows the system to perform extremely accurate measurements on every product type and alcohol concentration.
Measurement accuracy is optimized by the patented method of refining the measurement of Alcohol with the conductivity value of the sample.
Optional parameters are detected with an add-on module using the traditional pressure/temperature method to measure dissolved CO2 and an optical sensor based on fluorescence quenching to measure Oxygen.
The modular construction is intended to make the system perform better on specific applications while keeping it affordable. The configuration can undergo gradual upgrades simply by adding additional modules. The beverage to be analyzed can be sampled directly from a beaker, from a carousel for multiple sampling or from different types of containers in case the LP10 was connected to the semi-automatic sampler Maselli SL01.
All analysis data are acquired by the integrated software that allows data analysis and sharing, even remotely. The project was designed on a webbased philosophy, allowing remote access for data consulting and troubleshooting.
