How to Ensure Quality Control with CO2 Analytical Support

Author : Leanne Merz

Calibration standards, performance audits, and the FDA's
never-ending safety, labeling, and inspection requirements are
just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dealing with the
increasingly stringent quality control standards of the beverage
industry. As these quality standards become stricter, beverage
producers are increasingly called upon to get products to market
faster using fewer resources, while simultaneously managing
ingredient quality, and ultimately, risk.

Mix rigorous regulations and mounting market challenges with
exploding competition and the opportunity for enormous economic
reward, and it becomes obvious that products must be perfect the
first time around to fulfill production requirements, comply
with distribution standards, and ultimately provide each
consumer with the exact same exceptional product every time.

All of which makes quality control more necessary than ever.

Quality Assurance in the beverage industry starts by ensuring
that top quality gases are used to perform the carbonation
process and continues through the bottling and distributing
process with a high-tech quality control examination.

On the top of the list of gases regulated in the world of drink
is carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the main components of many of
the beverages produced today, including soda, beer, sparkling
water, and sports drinks. CO2 has also become a major
constituent of orange juice through supercritical CO2 processing
during pasteurization and has even entered the world of dairy
with the addition of "Refreshing Power Milk," a new carbonated
milk hybrid, to the refreshments market.

Leading beverage manufacturers in this $700 billion industry are
taking the critical step to ensure purity of beverage-grade CO2
by using analytical support gases and quality assurance
services. Since ensuring purity of CO2 is such a crucial factor
in the beverage production process, choosing a specialty gas
company to provide purification, calibration, and
cross-reference services for your products should be a priority.

Keep in mind that specialty gas companies outside of the
beverage industry hold a uniquely favorable position as
authoritative and neutral third-party qualifiers. These
companies provide experience in developing trace contaminant
calibration standards as well as independence from the supply
and certification of beverage grade CO2, which helps to ensure
unbiased statistical and graphical reporting.

Regardless of the industry from which the service company
originates, it is vital that it provides specialized service in
the CO2 industry and adheres to industry standards on commercial
quality with regard to CO2.

Some more guidelines to consider when choosing a Quality Control
Specialty Gas Service: •Your CO2 supplier should provide
certification and analysis indicating compliance with commercial
quality standards, such as ISBT, the International Society of
Beverage Technologists •Your quality assurance service company
should have the resources available to create custom gas
mixtures for CO2 ingredient quality control. Typical components
include (but are not limited to) the following: Methane Ethane
Ethanol Dimethyl Ether Ethyl Acetate Methanol AmmoniaNitric
Oxide Nitrogen Dioxide Carbonyl Sulfide Acetaldehyde
BenzeneCyclohexane Ethylbenzene Diethyl Ether Toluene m-Xylene
p-Xylene o-Xylene •Preparing two sets of gas mixtures should be
standard procedure for your chosen service company, with double
analysis of each set to check for minor component stability, and
guarantee a shelf life for the components. •To further assure
accurate results, your service company should identify
inaccuracies and verify analytical processes by having
participant labs analyze blind internal audit standards. •Your
service company should furnish a report to your company's
quality control department detailing analytical results,
including a statistical representation of the performance of
each participant laboratory. •Membership in the International
Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) Quality Committee,
Carbon Dioxide Subcommittee, should be maintained in order to
keep abreast of emerging analytical methods and technologies
within the beverage industry. •Top of the line service companies
will provide CO2 Cross–Referencing Services to confirm the
accuracy of critical analytical processes. These programs
provide beverage manufacturers with a reliable and objective
method of monitoring the performance of multiple laboratories
who qualify carbon dioxide used in carbonated beverages as well
as confirm ingredient quality. Cross-Referencing Service should
be considered in order to: oAchieve the highest degree of
confidence in the accuracy of analyses; oConfidentially identify
inconsistencies or other problems in analytical processes; and
oMaintain reliable and accurate intra-company quality assurance.
•Most importantly, make sure the service company has top rate
Internal CO2 Audit Standards to meet the most demanding accuracy
requirements for virtually any type of customized mixture and
that a Certificate of Accuracy is provided for each cylinder. By
choosing a Quality Control Specialty Gas Service carefully, your
company can be sure to keep pace with the ever-expanding list of
regulations -- and quite possibly gain an even larger piece of
this multi-billion dollar pie.
