Activated Carbon products are finding many applications in the Beverages Industry and we at Boyce Activated Carbon are one of the largest suppliers of the right grade of Activated Carbon products to many of the Suppliers in more than 50 countries across the Globe. Beverages to be liked by their customers must not only look good but also smell and taste good. Our Activated Carbon products help the Beverage industry to get rid of unwanted contaminants and other factors that degrade the taste, smell and look of the basic inputs of the Beverage products like,
Beverages Applications
Solutions for Beverages Industry
Juice concentrates
Wine
Distilled Liquor
Fruit juices etc
Apart from this, our products are also useful in the purification of other ingredients used in the preparation of Beverages like Water, CO2, and Sugar etc. The Activated Carbon is used by the Beverage Industry for achieving
- Complete removal of bad tastes
- Removal of bad odors
- Long term Color Stability
- Removal of Disinfectants
- Removal of degrading products from water used in the production of the Beverages
Beverage Industry uses both Powdered Activated Carbon as well as Granular Activated Carbon and their selection depends on the production process. Powdered Activated Carbon coming with a size of 1-150 µm is the best suited for batch processes where the purification goes on a bulk basis. Granulated Activated Carbon comes with an average size of 0.5 to 4mm and is best suited for continuous processes.
Some of the main applications in which our Activated Carbon Products are finding a place for purification of beverages as well as their ingredients are as follows:
-
Purification of Liquid Sugar
This is one of the basic and most important Applications in which dedicated grades of our Activated Carbon products are used in the Beverages Industry. With the use of the right product, complete decolorization, and vast improvements in the sensory characteristics of the Sugar syrup can be easily achieved.
-
Fruit Juices
Specific types of our Activated Carbon products are useful in removing colourants like Melanoidins, Polyphenols etc. from Apple and Grape juices and other fruit products used in the production of fruit juices. They are also used for the removal of bad taste causing compounds from fruit juices, and also those that give specific unwanted colours etc. Our Activated Carbon products are also useful for the removal of pesticides and fungicides like Mycotoxin Patulin so that the Beverage products comply with International Health Standards.
-
Wine & Vermouth
Our Activated Carbon products are best suited for colour and taste correction in the manufacture of White and Red Wines and also Vermouth. High Quality Activated Carbon products are also available for the purification of the final Wine product for dosing and quality factors as a way of standardisation before subjecting them for long storage.
-
Beer & Malternatives
Our Activated Carbon products are mainly used in this Industry to suppress the straw taste from malt- beer. The PAC or GAC products are also useful in the decolorization of Beer during the production of Malternatives. They are also used as taste-correcting agents and also for removing foam inhibitors in the final products.
-
Vodka, whisky & Rum
Our Activated Carbon Products are used for many processes during the production and storage of these popular hot beverage products like,
- Decolorization of Rum
- Prevention of turbidity during ageing process of Whisky
- Removal of congeners like Fuel oils and Aldehydes
-
Purification of Water
This becomes necessary as well or tap water is used in the manufacture of Beverages and large amounts of disinfectants like Ozone, Chlorine or Chloramines is used for the inhibition of the microbial activity in the Water. Our Activated Carbon products are used for the effective removal of all these disinfectants from water and also for removal of all organic contaminants and Trihalomethanes etc.
-
Purification of Carbon Di Oxide
Beverage Industry uses lots of Co2 obtained both from the Breweries during the Fermentation process and that obtained from external sources. When Carbon di Oxide obtained from Breweries are used in the manufacture of Beverages, our Activated Carbon products are useful in removing some of taste and odour causing compounds like Hydrogen, Sulphur, Mercaptans and a host of other Organic Compounds. In the case of CO2 sourced from external sources the Activated Carbon products are useful in removing traces of many of the aromatic Hydro-Carbons.
