Advances in application of infrared spectrum in beer
The quality of beer brewing is heavily reliant on the quality of raw materials and brewing technology.While traditional analysis methods have limitations in real-time analysis,infrared spectroscopy is increasingly utilized in the beer brewing process due to its rapid,precise,and non-destructive characteristics.This paper specifically focuses on the application of infrared spectroscopy across various aspects:from assessment of malt quality to real-time monitoring of raw extracts and sugars during saccharification;from detection of alcohol,soluble solids,free amino nitrogen,and other key indicators during fermentation to accurate classification and identification of the final product.Notably,the use of portable devices and online sensors enables real-time monitoring for accurate management of production processes while ensuring stability and consistency in product quality.
