When your customer pops open a carbonated beverage, you want them to taste and smell a clean, crisp product. One way to make sure that happens is to know that pure CO2 went into that drink, with no undesirable gases that contribute off-aromas or flavors. The Thermo Scientific™MAX-Bev CO2 Purity Monitoring System provides real-time analysis through advanced FTIR technology to assure your CO2 has >99.9% absolute purity. The MAX-Bev system also identifies and measures contaminants, so you can be certain that the only bubbles going into your beverages are pure carbon dioxide. To learn more, click here.

ISBT Hosts Successful ISBT Europe Meeting!

Last week, we had an amazing time at the ISBT Europe Conference! Over two productive days, we engaged in insightful discussions and showcased fascinating exhibitions. 

Highlights included, talks on the global orange concentrate shortage and Alicyclobacillus spoilage, plus a plant tour of Döhler's facility as well as EU regulatory updates and their impact on ingredients, along with updated guidelines from the Sensory Committee including Sensory training sessions that offered hands-on learning to refine our taste evaluation skills. After a packed day of learning, we unwound at Darmstadt's beach club, where we strengthened connections and built new partnerships for future collaborations.

This is just a snippet of the proceedings of the event. Full proceedings of 2024 conference will be available soon for members in the Member Info Hub at www.isbt.com. Check out the photos from the event on LinkedIn.
