Today’s food and beverages (F&B) are much more than just simple "organic fuels" needed for survival. Beyond their nutritive value, they are consumed for their taste or flavor. Increasingly, they are also a source for maintaining health and enhancing our well-being via high-quality nutrition. At the same time, with an ever-increasing number of processed foods, food quality and safety aspects are becoming more important. All the more because foods are highly complex materials – prone to degradation...

Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling is a large industry focusing on the recovery of metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and even precious metals from electronic scrap. The applications and needs of non ferrous metal recyclers vary greatly. These can include a large corporate recycler buying UBC bales for shredding to be converted back into beverage cans or a small recycler who is recovering precious metals from circuit boards or catalytic converters.

Aluminium items are eminently suited to recycle. Did you know that aluminium can be recycled infinitely without losing quality? Recycling aluminium beverage cans saves 95% of the energy used making an aluminium can, compared to making it from raw bauxite. The energy saved from recycling one aluminium Coca Cola can will run a TV for three hours. If not recycled, it takes 80-100 years for an aluminium can to break down in a landfill.

During paper manufacture, waste paper and to some extent beverage cartons are reprocessed for the production of paper products. In the first stage of material processing, large quantities of waste paper are dissolved in so-called pulping drums or pulpers using process water and defibrated. The impurities in waste paper, mainly in the form of plastics, are separated from the paper during production. This residual fraction is known as reject and contains approx. 25% (coarse) fibres, 25% plastic and 50% moisture....

The Eldan Recycling System for UBC (Used Beverage Cans) is designed for processing loose or baled aluminium cans to be used as an alternative to virgin aluminium. Aluminium is used in many modern products like pots and pans, building materials and beverage cans. By recycling the aluminium in the UBC, up to 95% of the energy used in production can be reduced compared to production with virgin aluminium, proving aluminium recycling a profitable business! To ensure the product is pure, the cans can be downsized with...

The crushing of cans such as, for example, paint cans, food cans, oil cans or beverage cans serves, on the one hand, for recycling the raw materials and at the same time contributes to the protection of the environment, because part of the recycled raw materials can be reused, but also, on the other hand, for the volume reduction.

Industrial wastewater characterized by an high COD content are an interesting renewable source for the Food and beverage industrial sector which can have them readily available from their industrial processes. The COD contribution in the wastewater can be easily converted in biogas and then in green energy to reuse inside the factory as both electrical energy and thermal energy. This process can be applied with the installation of the UASB technology, implemented by Hydroitalia - Colsen in new and existing plants.

Beverages, such as sodas and energy drinks, can include a number of polar ingredients, which are easily soluble in the water matrix of the drinks. These ingredients include sweeteners (sugars and sugar substitutes), caffeine, vitamin supplements, amino acids, organic acids, and plant extracts. Because the analytes are already in solution, there is no need for extensive sample preparation. Dilution followed by direct injection into an HPLC is typically suitable. In this article we present two beverage applications...

You go all out to produce only the best culinary creations, so how pure is your water? Water purity can have a huge impact on the flavor, aroma, visual appearance, healthfulness and even shelf life of your foods. Many beverages such as coffee and teas can be up to 99% water, so is it any wonder that water purity makes it taste so much better? When made with our pure water, alcoholic drinks don’t have the oil slick floating on the surface. Sushi masters in Japan love how our water makes sushi rice ‘pop&r...

Quality control is a constant challenge in food science and technology. High resolution proton NMR spectroscopy has been extensively used to characterize liquid foodstuffs, but due to the high cost of large superconducting NMR systems these methods have largely been limited to research labs. The Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer can be used to analyse commercial liquid food samples. It is worth noting that NMR can measure samples that are cloudy, coloured or bubbly, and does not require the traditional sample...
