Food & Beverage Water Testing
The food and beverage category focuses on all applications related to the manufacturing of edible products. This includes meat, produce, juices, bottled water, beer, wine, or any other consumable. Whether it is testing production water, sanitizing agents, or wastewater generated during manufacturing. AquaPhoenix Scientific offers products to address your needs from beginning to end.
Common Uses for Test Kits in Food & Beverage
Bottled water plants, breweries, and carbonated beverage facilities all test for various impurities in their production water. Using CHEMetrics or EndPoint ID® test kits ensures consistent water quality as an ingredient of the final beverage. Regular testing prevents inconsistencies and costly disposal of product that does not meet the necessary standards.
Food packaging operations use water quality test kits to verify sterilization and to monitor the efficacy of sterilization solutions. Often disinfectant residuals such as chlorine, monochloramine, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid (PAA) are measured to ensure proper sanitation or sterilization has occurred.
Outside of production, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) vials are used to monitor wastewater conditions. COD testing prevents costly fines from releasing wastewater that exceeds permitted limits and provides faster understanding of your waste stream than Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing can provide.
Hydrogen Peroxide Testing For The Food & Beverage Industry
CHEMetrics® Hydrogen Peroxide test kits are routinely used by operators on packaging lines to monitor the sterilization solution residuals in Extended Shelf Life (ESL) and Aseptic Packaging applications. The product cartons are sprayed with hydrogen peroxide to pre-sterilize them, then heated to remove the hydrogen peroxide. CHEMetrics® Hydrogen Peroxide Kits meet critical residual concentration limits of 0.5 ppm.
Ozone Testing for Bottled Water
The CHEMetrics ozone test method has been approved for worldwide use by a major bottler to monitor trace ozone levels in bottled water plants. Our ozone Vacu-vials®. offer a convenient way to measure trace ozone levels directly in the bottle. Testing directly in the bottle ensures safe bottled water without excess ozone smell is delivered to the customer.
The Indigo Ozone method offers accuracy, savings, and speed.
- Savings up to 62% over leading brand
- Range matches FDA requirements for bottled water
- Faster & simpler self-zeroing test
- Works with most spectrophotometers
