    摘要: This invention relates to a method for analysing a liquid when inside a container in order to detect counterfeiting or adulteration of the liquid, the container being at least partially transparent to visible light. The method comprises the steps of: (a) measuring a first transmission spectrum through the container and the liquid at a first orientation of the container which defines a first optical path length through the liquid, (b) measuring a second transmission spectrum through the container and the liquid at a second orientation of the container which defines a second optical path length through the liquid, the second optical path length being different from the first optical path length, and the second spectrum at least partially overlapping with the first spectrum, (c) calculating the ratio (R(λ)) of the first and second spectral intensities at each wavelength in the area of overlap, and(d) comparing this ratio (R(λ)) to a reference measurement of the ratio for a non-counterfeit and unadulterated sample of the liquid being tested.

    摘要: An apparatus for determining freshness of wine stored in a container includes a housing, a gas sensor, an optical sensor pair, and electrical circuitry. The gas sensor is affixed to the housing such that it extends into a headspace of the container above the wine. The optical sensor pair is positioned such that the optical sensor pair extends into the headspace above the wine. The electrical circuitry is contained in the housing and is electrically interfaced to the gas sensor and to the optical sensor pair. The electrical circuitry operates the gas sensor to generate a series of gas level measurements and operates the optical sensor pair to generate a series of optical transmission measurements. A quality parameter corresponding to the freshness of the wine is determined based on both the series of gas level measurements and the series of optical transmission measurements.

    摘要: A method comprises: receiving wine evaluations of wines from wine panelists, each wine evaluation including intensity values describing a plurality of wine characteristics for each of a set of wines, each wine evaluation generated by a wine panelist; generating a global intensity value from particular intensity values describing a particular wine characteristic of a particular wine, the particular intensity values being from the wine evaluations; comparing a selected intensity value generated by a selected wine panelist describing the particular wine characteristic for the particular wine against the global intensity value to determine an accuracy deviation; comparing the accuracy deviation against an accuracy deviation threshold to determine whether the selected intensity value is deemed inaccurate based on the comparison; updating the global intensity value for the particular wine characteristic for the particular wine based on the accuracy determination; and storing the updated global intensity value in a wine database.

    摘要: Apparatus, methods, and systems for in-line detection of chemical compounds in beer are provided. In these apparatus, methods, and systems, a small sample of wort is removed from a fermentation vessel, heated, analyzed by infrared attenuated total reflectance (IR-ATR) spectroscopy, and returned to the fermentation vessel. The concentrations of one or more chemical compounds in the wort can be ascertained directly from IR-ATR spectroscopy data, or indirectly from applying an algorithm to the IR-ATR spectroscopy data based on known reaction kinetics and stoichiometry. The apparatus, methods, and systems do not destroy the wort sample or contaminate the fermenting wort and so can be employed continuously during fermentation, and are rapid, accurate, and inexpensive.

    摘要: A method for analyzing wine proposes puncturing the closure (60) of a wine bottle (61) containing wine (62) with a disposable cannula (3) having a lateral cannula opening (32) and a female Luer connection (30), and filling a disposable syringe (4) having a male Luer connection (41) with an inert gas. At least part (69) of the wine sample (65) is transferred into an analytical spectrometer (68) and spectrometric analysis of the wine sample (65) is carried out. An inexpensive method is thereby proposed that is easy to perform for analyzing a wine sample from a sealed wine bottle without impairing the quality or storage stability of the wine remaining in the wine bottle due to withdrawal of a wine sample from the wine bottle, in particular, wherein the volume of the removed wine sample can be easily controlled.
