Beverages Beyond Boundaries 

Who would have thought it? The 

Football World Cup is almost here. 

Leaving political topics aside, it is 

different this year. The expectations 

are muted, especially in some parts 

of the beverage industry. In the 

(European) summer, breweries and 

soft drink specialists would be fully 

occupied, getting everything ready 

for street parties, public viewing and 

the like. Nobody knows quite what 

to expect in winter. Mulled wine and 

cookies, instead of beer and pretzels? 

Sponsorship is also different in a 

country where alcohol is not consumed. 

Thankfully the beverage industry has 

many sides to it. There will always be 

consumers who would rather drink 

warm than cold drinks, and refreshing 

rather than relaxing. They all need to 

be pumped and processed, bottled 

and filled, as well as packaged and 

transported here and there. Athletes 

will need isotonic drinks to help 

recover and prepare for the next 

game. Fans will need to celebrate and 

commiserate and everybody is ready 

to drink the same thing they see their 

heroes have in their hands. 

An international event like this is, of 

course, still a boon for the beverage 

industry. It is certainly a major event 

for promotional and marketing 

opportunities, but it is impossible to 

predict how many extra portions of 

juice, water, softs drinks, beer and 

coffee or tea will be consumed. I 

for one, will be on the edge of my 

seat, kicking every ball and catching 

every shot at goal. In fact I have been 

practicing shooting penalty kicks, just 

in case my country needs me. 

No editorial about the World Cup 

is complete of course, without my 

personal tip. As always, almost my

top of the pile in mid December, but I 

rather expect it will be Brazil, Belgium or

again bring the world together. We can all 

drink our own preferred beverage to that!

Efficient Boiler Systems for a Climate- 

Neutral Future 

by SABINE STRAKA 

The need to consume produced beverages 

and processed foods is constantly 

increasing. And so is the demand for 

steam, hot water and district heating. 

In many areas of the beverage industry, 

process heat in the form of steam is 

indispensable. In view of impending gas 

shortages, rising prices and for reasons 

of climate policy, many large companies 

need to reduce their energy consumption. 

Efficient boiler systems with optimally 

matched components reduce emissions, 

fuel use, consumption of water, chemicals, 

electrical power, and the cost of operation 

and monitoring. Intelligent controls can 

also significantly increase efficiency, 

availability and the service life of the 

equipment. The use of modern industrial 

boilers can thus permanently reduce 

energy consumption and operating costs. 

From a small workshop to 

innovating an entire industry 

For more than 150 years, Bosch Industrial 

Boilers has been a leader in the field of 

large-scale thermal plants and system 

solutions. In 1865, the company was 

founded in Germany by Philipp Loos 

as a small boiler forge in Neustadt/ 

Weinstrasse, and a new production site 

was established in Gunzenhausen in 1917. 

Already then Loos was the market leader 

for industrial boilers. In 1952 a patent was 

filed for the horizontal 3-pass flame tube 

smoke tube boiler with an internal watercooled 

reversing chamber, that became 

a global industry standard. Numerous 

production and plant expansions 

followed and the conventional boiler 

design as used in old steam locomotives 

was consistently replaced by innovative, 

safe and efficient new designs. In 

2009, Loos became part of the Bosch 

Group. More than 120,000 industrial 

boilers for steam generation have been 

produced in Gunzenhausen, Germany, 

and in Bischofshofen, Austria. In recent 

years, the company has developed into 

a leading global system supplier for 

industrial boilers and specializes in the 

customized development and equipment 

of reliable and efficient boilers and plants, 

of all sizes and performance classes 

with up to 38 megawatts per boiler. The 

technology is developed on customer 

request and depends on which energy 

source is available at the installation site. 

Due to the modular design of the boiler 

systems, individual components can be 

easily retrofitted. Each system is unique; 

it is configured according to customer 

specifications. Bosch also fulfils tailormade 

requests, the complete system 

consisting of boiler, tubes and layout. 

Depending on requirements, e.g. up to 7 

million variants of one single boiler type 

can be manufactured, differing from 

each other in terms of emission, nozzle, 

nominal value or position, depending 

on where the boiler is to be installed 

at the customer's site. The particular 

strength of Bosch Industrial Boilers is to 

manufacture individual products with the 

efficiency and quality of a large series. 

The Bosch group has been climateneutral 

since 2020. 

Manual work and precision 

The boilers have a weight of up to 120 

tons, even before they are filled with 

water. The core component in the 

production of boilers are flame tubes. 

With the specially developed corrugated 

tube machine, tubes up to 9 meters in 

length can be produced in one piece 

fully automatically. The corrugated 

tubes are manufactured with millimeter 

precision using laser technology. With 

the specialized production equipment in 

the factory sheets up to 3.5 meters wide 

can be processed. As a result, large boilers 

require fewer welds, which significantly 

increases their service life. Welding is 

performed horizontally using a modern, 

uniform welding process, which enables a 

homogeneous structure and high welding 

quality. Depending on the individual 

equipment of the boilers, the components 

are also joined together manually using 

a special welding process. Due to the 

customer-individual design of each boiler, 

large parts of the manufacturing process 

are performed by hand. In addition, more 

than a dozen semi- and fully automatic 

welding robots ensure consistent quality 

of safety relevant welds. An in-house 

laboratory for weld seam testing and 

material analysis ensures maximum 

safety. In three X-ray chambers, up to 

100 % of the weld seams are X-rayed and

evaluated. In the beverage industry, some 

companies order an outer cladding of 

stainless steel instead of aluminium. 

Specific requirements in the 

beverage industry 

The various processes in the beverage 

and brewing industries require high 

temperatures and pressures, consistent 

steam quality, reliability, energy efficiency, 

and flexibility. Depending on the application, 

boiler systems must easily cope not 

only with linear but also discontinuous 

production processes. Electric boilers can 

follow such processes, in which sometimes 

more and sometimes less steam is needed, 

much faster and more dynamically. They 

heat up faster and offer particularly 

high flexibility. In the food and beverage 

industry, steam quality is also especially 

important. When a food or beverage comes 

into contact with steam, culinary steam is 

used, which is produced and filtered from 

top quality drinking water. The residual 

moisture from the steam and the dosing 

agents in the boiler water must not contain 

any steam-volatile chemicals that would 

lead to contamination. Continuous and 

reliable operation of the boiler systems is 

also important. The redundancy of certain 

components ensures availability even if a 

component, such as a pump, fails once. The 

Bosch delivered the boiler house technology for GATEWAY plant of INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES 

PLC in Nigeria. The new boiler plant can generate 55 tons of steam per hour for the entire brewing 

process. 

power is then divided between two or more 

boilers. Pumps that are urgently needed 

are duplicated. One boiler runs, one can 

take over if a pump fails, for example. 

Multiple applications 

The boilers are used for all products 

produced with heat in various sectors: in 

the pharmaceutical, textile and building 

materials industries, for the production of 

car tires or foams, in the chemical industry 

and in the supply of district heating. 

Nowadays the first industrial boilers are 

operated with green hydrogen instead 

of natural gas or oil. There has also been 

an increase in demand for LNG (liquefied 

natural gas) terminals recently. About half 

to two thirds of the boilers are used in the 

food and beverage industry as well as in 

breweries. Thus, 8 out of 10 beers brewed

in Germany come into contact with heat 

from Bosch Industrial Boilers, for example 

during mashing, lautering, wort boiling, 

filtering, pasteurization, and CIP processes 

for cleaning and sterilizing bottles and 

kegs. In very large breweries, even doubleflame 

tube boilers are used, which operate 

with two burners. Two independent firings 

and flue gas paths ensure particularly 

high flexibility. In the beverage industry, 

hot water and steam are required for 

flash/tunnel pasteurization, distillation, 

sterilization, bottling and cleaning. Dairies 

use steam for ultra-high temperature 

heating, pasteurization, sterilization, 

thermalization, whey production, cheese 

production, and milk powder drying, 

as well as for cleaning and supplying 

CIP equipment. For many energyintensive 

processes involved in beverage 

production, Bosch offers energy systems 

that are particularly reliable, energyefficient, 

and automated. 

Flexible boiler technology 

Boiler technology is not necessarily fossil, 

but flexible as to which energy sources are 

used. Especially for the beverage industry, 

Bosch offers multivalent boiler systems 

that can be operated with different types 

of energy. The technology is customerspecific 

configured and depends on 

what type of energy is available at the 

site. Bosch Industrial Boilers’ focus is on 

switching to green energy sources. In 

the beverage sector, for example, biogas 

has been used for steam/hot water 

generation for many years, and now biooil 

is also used. Bosch Industrial Boilers 

is diversely positioned and has already 

experimented in many pilot plants. Today, 

operation boilers with nearly any liquid 

or gaseous energy sources is possible. 

Since this year, green power is also used. 

"In recent years, climate neutrality has 

become increasingly important. It is also 

important to customers to have security 

of supply independent of fossil fuels," 

explains Daniel Gosse, Head of Marketing 

at Bosch Industrial Boilers. "Despite 

external challenges many companies still 

adhere to their CO 2 

targets; for this green 

technology is needed. Even large wellknown 

retail brands are placing increasing 

Bosch Industrial Boilers Headquarters in Gunzenhausen Germany

emphasis on climate neutrality along the 

supply chain." 

Highly efficient operation: 100 % 

electric, 100 % climate-neutral 

The boiler is the largest energy consumer 

in many factories; in a dairy which includes 

milk powder production, for example, 

energy costs accounts up to 14 % of 

the total costs of production. A modern 

energy-saving boiler can make the 

operation much more efficient. Since this 

year, there has been strong demand for 

electric boilers, even in Germany, where 

electricity is relatively expensive. Here, 

energy from green power surpluses can be 

used by purchasing the electricity from the 

power supplier at a favorable price through 

flexible offtake. For energy-efficient 

operation, Bosch offers the new electric 

steam boiler ELSB. It has a capacity range 

of 350 to 7500 kg/h, an efficiency of up to 

99.6 % and produces no direct emissions. 

When operated with green power, steam 

generation with the new electric boiler 

is completely CO 2 

neutral. It can be 

configured individually for each application 

or integrated into existing boiler systems 

and enables multivalent operation. The 

new electric steam boiler responds 

quickly and accurately to fluctuating load 

reductions. It can be run at full load faster 

and has a wider, steplessly variable control 

range of 0 to 100 %. The ELSB delivers 

high steam quality with low residual steam 

moisture. Due to its continuously variable 

power control, it has a high efficiency over 

the entire power range. The power can be 

automatically adjusted to the respective 

demand. With the smart control system, 

available green power surpluses from 

energy suppliers or from the company's 

own power generation can be used in 

a targeted manner. With its high power 

density, the electric boiler is also much 

smaller than a steam boiler, and does not 

require a chimney or flue gas pipe. This 

reduces space requirements and costs. 

If, for example, fuel consumption increases, 

the digital assistant reports possible causes 

and provides recommendations for action. 

With predictive condition monitoring, it also 

makes predictions about the remaining 

service life of important components 

and assists with maintenance planning. 

Digital evaluation of the data enables 

increased energy losses to be detected 

and thus energy efficiency to be increased. 

Forecasts of wear optimize maintenance 

and thus the operational reliability and 

service life of a plant. 

In operation around the world 

Two thirds of all Bosch industrial boilers 

are exported to over 140 countries. For 

example for the production of ice-cold 

beers, INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES 

PLC, the largest brewery in Sagamu, 

Nigeria, and the second largest brewery 

in Africa, also uses process heat from 

Bosch. The new modern GATEWAY plant 

of INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES PLC is 

a model brewery of Anheuser-Bush, AB 

InBev in Africa. In the search for a steam 

generation system that could meet the 

high energy requirements in the brewery 

and for cleaning, the choice finally fell once 

again on Bosch Industrial Boilers, because 

of its product policy, its reliability, and the 

presence of a service team on site. To 

ensure that production does not come to 

a standstill anywhere, Bosch offers 24/7 

customer service with short response times 

worldwide, including in Nigeria. As a result, 

a new state-of-the-art multi-boiler system 

was ordered, that can generate 55 tons 

of steam per hour for the entire brewing 

Daniel Gosse, Head of Marketing at Bosch Industrial Boilers 

process. Bosch delivered the boiler house 

technology including all components for 

water treatment, degassing and energy 

recovery. 

The universal steam boilers supply 

consistently high steam quality on a 

high efficiency level of more than 95 %. 

Thanks to its optimal matched burners 

can use flexibly up to three different fuels 

to combust in one single boiler. That also 

increases operation reliability. In addition, 

the six heat recovery boilers can produce 

up to 20 % of the steam demand cost 

effectively by simply using process related 

waste heat. A variety of automation 

devices complete the system and ensure 

a highly reliable steam boiler operation. 

"As a manufacturing company, Bosch itself 

is also affected by rising energy prices or 

security of supply. For these issues we will 

need future-proof solutions in our more 

than 400 Bosch production locations. 

Therefore, we will continue to develop our 

boiler systems accordingly," says Daniel 

Gosse.

Promises and Claims Beverages Make 

(and Break) 

by DONNA BERRY 

There’s a fine line separating a promise 

and a claim in the world of food and 

beverage marketing, and that fine 

line varies among regulatory agencies 

around the world. The USA has one 

of the more strict set of laws in place 

regarding statements on package 

labels, and when a consumer feels like 

it’s deceitful, off to court they go. 

That’s what happened in mid-October 

to Nestle USA Inc., a business unit of 

Nestle SA. The company is being sued 

for two claims printed on the packaging 

of its Ovaltine brand of flavored drink 

mix. 

The lawsuit identifies the statement 

“a good source of 12 vitamins and 

minerals” as a nutrient content claim 

under federal and state regulations. 

This means the product should provide 

between 10% and 19% of the daily 

recommended value of no less than 12 

vitamins and minerals. The problem 

is that Ovaltine itself is not a “good” 

source of 12 vitamins and minerals 

without adding other ingredients as 

specified in the directions. This matter 

is discreetly indicated by a dagger 

(†) accompanying the front label 

statement. The meaning of that dagger 

is identified in a smaller statement 

several lines below and reads: “† when 

prepared as directed.” Those directions, 

as indicated in the third column of 

the Nutrition Facts label, require the 

consumer to “mix [it] with one cup lowfat 

vitamin A and D milk.” That promise 

of being a “good” source is broken if 

the consumer does not have the milk 

for mixing. 

The second item in dispute is the 

statement “no artificials.” The lawsuit 

explains that “consumers seeing the 

bigger font of ‘no artificials’ will expect 

this means the product does not 

contain artificial ingredients. However, 

upon closer reading of the label, one 

sees that the product contains artificial 

and bioengineered ingredients. This 

is disclosed a few lines beneath the 

ingredient list. Again, a promise is 

broken. 

The plaintiff further alleged that 

misleading symbols used on the front 

of the package “took advantage of 

consumers’ cognitive shortcuts made 

at the point-of-sale and their trust 

in defendant.” The one promise the 

defendant did not have an issue with is 

the phrase “supports immune health,” 

which is center front in a bold font on 

the package. 

In the US, and many other countries, 

there’s a line separating claims or 

promises that reference quantities of 

nutrients, quality of ingredients and 

direct health claims from suggestive 

references to physiological benefits, 

such as energizing, calming and antiaging, 

as well as subjective promises, 

like delicious, cooling and satiating. 

Marketing claims are a tricky business. 

New Joyba Bubble Tea, for example, 

is a line of ready-to-drink, bobashop 

inspired beverages. It makes 

the promise of containing “delicious 

popping boba.” Delicious is a subjective 

descriptor that could prove to be 

disappointing to someone who does 

not care for flavored and sweetened 

gelatinized balls exploding in the 

mouth. 

Another new product sporting a 

subjective claim is Juvee. Developed by 

Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag, a superstar 

gaming content creator and founder 

and CEO of the global gaming lifestyle 

brand 100 Thieves, Juvee is described as 

a rejuvenating energy drink formulated 

to boost your energy, increase your 

focus and improve overall well-being so 

you’re inspired to add more play to your 

every day. 

Short for “rejuvenation,” Juvee is 

made with a blend of ingredients that 

promises to provide invigorating and 

mood-lifting effects for longer-lasting, 

more sustainable energy. Each 12- 

ounce can of Juvee contains B vitamins, 

taurine and 128 milligrams of caffeine 

for energy. The addition of L-theanine

is said to elevate mood, while the 

panax ginseng is for sustained focus. 

In addition, the drink has a boost of 

vitamin C for health and well-being and 

no sugar, with only 5 calories per can. 

As with allow- and no-sugar energy 

drinks, one may argue that this energy 

drink does not provide physical energy, 

which is also referred to as metabolic 

energy, as this comes from calories. It is 

produced via the Krebs cycle, a complex 

pathway that converts ingested 

carbohydrates, fats and proteins into 

a slow, steady stream of energy – 

adenosine triphosphate – during the 

process of aerobic respiration. This 

energy fuels the body’s cells to keep the 

body working, with the unit of energy 

measured in calories. In general, simple 

carbohydrates, namely refined sugars, 

tend to be quickly absorbed by the 

bloodstream after ingestion. They are 

responsible for a true quick metabolic 

energy boost. 

Again, it’s a fine line marketers walk 

with such promises. Imagine a gamer 

who drinks such an energy drink with 

hopes to stay up all night competing 

in a computer tournament, and then 

doses off in front of the screen. That’s 

a broken promise. Lawsuit worthy? 

Probably depends at how much was at 

stake and how sly of a lawyer one can 

retain to assist. 

Such fears of not delivering on promises 

have not stopped innovation in the 

burgeoning energy drink segment. Nor 

has it stopped the rollout of functional 

beverages making a range of purported 

benefits. 

Mude, for example, is a new line of allnatural, 

mood-supporting drinks. Mude 

is low in sugar – less than 6 grams per 

can – and only 40 calories. The brand 

claims to be one of the first beverages 

with vitamins and minerals that benefit 

mood and is sustainably sourced and 

packaged. One of the formulations 

– Mude Work – promises to help you 

focus and have mental clarity. It is 

formulated with “deep ocean” mineral 

salts, branched chain amino acids and 

ashwagandha. 

The deep ocean is generally defined 

as the depth at which light begins to 

dwindle, typically around 200 meters 

(656 feet), by the National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric administration of 

the US Department of Commerce. A 

quick internet search reveals that deep 

ocean minerals are recognized as being 

extracted from deep ocean water and 

are associated with superior hydration 

and recovery after a workout. When 

making such a formulation claim, a 

marketer should be well prepared to be 

fully transparent regarding sourcing. 

The brand also claims to be certified 

Carbon Neutral to naturally support 

mood without sacrificing health and 

wellness goals. Such sustainabilitytype 

claims are starting to gain 

traction. These claims promise the 

consumer that by choosing this 

product over another not making 

such a claim, they are supporting 

the health of the planet. Again, full 

12

Ingredients 

transparency is paramount in fulfilling 

this promise. 

While what is healthy for the planet 

remains subjective, in the US, the term 

“healthy,” as it relates to foods and 

beverages for humans, will likely be 

defined soon. In September, the US Food 

and Drug Administration proposed that 

manufacturers can label their products 

“healthy” if they contain a meaningful 

amount of food from at least one of 

the food groups or subgroups (such, as 

fruit, vegetable or dairy) recommended 

by the dietary guidelines. They must 

also adhere to specific limits for certain 

nutrients, such as saturated fat, sodium 

and added sugars. 

Of course, there are ways around this. 

One marketing term that suggests 

healthfulness is “superfood.” A new 

player in this space is RDCL Superfoods 

(pronounced radical). The brand 

promises to give ordinary drinks new 

“superpowers” with all plant-based 

ingredients and zero added sugar, all 

while making them healthier, tastier, 

more ethical and sustainable. Super 

Cocoa is a powder that can be mixed 

into hot or cold water or blended into 

a smoothie. Its rich chocolate-y taste 

comes from two kinds of premium cacao, 

according to the brand. It also contains 

pea protein, ancient grains and seeds, 

and greens. Radical Elements Superfood 

Blends is a powdered boost that is simply 

mixed into water, creating a functional 

beverage with immunity support and 

other benefits. The Passion Fruit variety 

promises to help boost focus and energy 

while Dragon Fruit Superberry helps 

alleviate stress and anxiety. 

Functional claims are often best alluded 

to simply by flagging the inclusion of 

the supposedly beneficial ingredient. 

Let the consumer do the homework and 

investigate what the promise may be.

extremely sensitive product that can 

spoil within a few days if not treated 

with physical or chemical methods. 

Beverage-damaging microbes should 

ideally be controlled by naturally 

means. But natural ingredients, such as 

essential oils or certain extracts based 

on rosemary, cinnamon or onion, for 

example, provide microbial protection 

that is not nearly as effective as 

conventional preservatives. In addition, 

any influence on the taste of a beverage 

should be avoided. 

In its search for suitable products in the 

biosphere, Dortmund-based start-up IMD 

Natural Solutions GmbH (INS), which has 

been part of LANXESS’ Material Protection 

Products (MPP) business unit since 2017, 

has developed a program based on stateof-the-art 

research processes and search 

algorithms. One of the world’s largest 

screenable libraries of more than 100,000 

natural molecules from plants, bacteria, 

algae and fungi was searched for suitable 

active ingredients. 

In this extensive screening process, 

the most interesting results came from 

an edible fungus that had previously 

received little attention: the Dacryopinax 

spathularia, or commonly called “Sweet 

Osmanthus Ear”. This edible fungus is 

native to tropical and subtropical areas 

worldwide, is bright orange in color, and 

grows in the form of small ear-shaped 

spatulas similar to the osmanthus flower. 

The active ingredient is obtained 

fermentatively through a proprietary, 

solvent-free, food-grade process. It is 

composed of molecular congeners in a 

14

Ingredients 

specific ratio, all consisting of a sugar 

and a lipid moiety. This class of surfaceactive 

compounds that interfere with the 

cell membranes of microbes is therefore 

referred to as natural glycolipids. 

Consumer-friendly marketing 

options and reliable protection 

against spoilage 

Nagardo shows superior efficacy against 

typical beverage spoilage organisms 

compared to classical preservatives. In 

most cases, a dosage many times lower 

than that of conventional excipients is 

sufficient. The broad spectrum of activity, 

even at low application concentrations, 

also shows excellent activity against heatresistant 

spore-forming organisms such as 

Alicyclobacillus species or representatives 

of the genera Byssochlamys, Neosartorya 

as well as Talaromyces. It is also 

effective against organisms adapted 

to conventional preservatives, such as 

Zygosaccharomyces bailii. 

In the recommended dosage, Nagardo 

does not affect the sensory properties 

of a beverage: color, odor and, above all, 

taste are preserved as intended by the 

manufacturer. Therefore, the natural 

glycolipids can be used in a wide range 

of beverages. Carbonated products in 

particular benefit from Nagardo, as no 

second preservative is usually required. 

Special dosing technology is also not 

required: the powder is pre-dissolved 

in water and added to the beverage 

formulation during product mixing. 

Nagardo remains in the beverage and thus 

protects it naturally even after opening. 

Economical solution for filling 

sensitive products 

Nagardo natural preservative allows 

manufacturers to adapt their portfolio 

to changing consumer awareness 

and growing demand for natural 

ingredients. ”Our expanded offering 

opens up new possibilities for 

preservation. We want to participate 

even more in the global growth of 

the beverage market in the future 

with our brands Velcorin, which 

is one of the top technologies for 

antimicrobial beverage stabilization, 

and our new Nagardo,“ emphasizes 

Janmarc Heitmann, head of MPP’s 

Beverage Technology business. 

”Individually or in combination, our 

two technologies are an economical 

solution for microbiologically safe 

filling of sensitive products,“ Heitmann 

emphasizes. All filling systems, from 

glass/PET bottles to carton packs, 

cans, KEGs, and bag-in-box can be 

served with both technologies. 

The use of Nagardo and Velcorin can 

help achieve a company’s sustainability 

goals by reducing energy consumption 

by switching from hot fill or tunnel 

pasteurization to cold fill. Secondly, 

due to lower wall thicknesses, less 

PET is required for the beverage 

bottles than with hot filling. When both 

The Dacryopinax spathularia, or commonly 

called “Sweet Osmanthus Ear”

products are combined, depending on 

the application, further microbiological 

hurdles, such as energy-intensive 

distribution and marketing in the cold 

chain, can be dispensed with. 

Criteria for selecting the 

appropriate technology 

In addition to the output efficiency, 

a holistic cost consideration for 

the producer is a decisive selection 

criterion for the suitable production 

platform. All costs incurred, i.e. one-off 

costs as well as running costs, must be 

taken into account. Cost drivers are, 

for example, heavy PET bottles for the 

hotfill process and rising energy prices. 

Factors such as the positioning of a 

brand, desired claims or the regulatory 

situation also influence the selection of 

a preservation technology. 

The great advantage of both Nagardo 

and Velcorin technology is that they 

can be used without any problems in 

new lines and also in combination with 

existing filling machines that were not 

originally intended for filling sensitive 

beverages. These are, for example, fillers 

for beer or classic soft drinks.

Innovative Product Concepts for 

Yoghurts, Ice creams, Food services 

and Beverages 

The GULFOOD Manufacturing event in Dubai , from 8 – 10 November, is yet again the 

international venue for the food processing industry and the meeting point for experts, 

particularly from the Middle East, North and Central Africa as well as Asia. The global 

food industry player AGRANA will be presenting visitors from the dairy, bakery, ice cream 

and beverages sectors a wide range of new fruit and flavoring products at GULFOOD 

Manufacturing alongside AUSTRIA JUICE, a joint venture between AGRANA and Raiffeisen 

Ware Austria. 

Healthy and conscious nutrition is 

becoming increasingly important. 

Consumers are attaching greater 

importance to the positive effects of 

food on their own well-being and immune 

systems. At the same time however 

demands in terms of taste and enjoyment 

remain high. “All-natural nutrition is a 

trend which we are increasingly taking 

into account through our innovative 

product concepts for the downstream 

food processing industry. That’s why 

AGRANA is focusing at the GULFOOD 

Manufacturing fair on ‘good-for-you’ 

products since this trend is also on the 

rise in the Gulf Region”, stresses AGRANA 

CEO Markus Mühleisen. 

AGRANA integrates these demands into 

functional concepts such as yoghurts 

based on various new taste combinations. 

One of these novel drinkable yoghurts 

is a kiwi-lime, immunity-boosting drink: 

This concept is rich in Vitamin C and zinc, 

both of which are known to support the 

body’s own immune system. The high 

concentration of fiber, which is good 

for the metabolism, makes this drink a 

refreshing, all-round indulgence between 

meals. 

Another new product development from 

AGRANA is a spoonable yoghurt with 

large, firm-to-the-bite pieces of dates. 

Dates are one of the most popular 

fruits in Arabian countries and also 

becoming more popular internationally. 

Until now, however, there has not been 

a spoonable yoghurt with firm pieces of 

dates since the dates tend to dissolve 

during pasteurisation due to their 

innate properties. At the GULFOOD 

Manufacturing fair, AGRANA is this 

year presenting a dessert with a high 

concentration of fruit which combines 

the best properties of both yoghurt and 

dates. 

Proudly presenting the Watson 

Says beverage brand created 

specially for baristas 

The Watson Says product brand from 

AGRANA Fruit has been specially 

developed as a product line of premium 

syrups, sauces and fruit blends for use 

in coffee creations, tea-based drinks, 

cocktails, mocktails, frappes and numerous 

other beverages. Smooth in texture, with a 

natural taste and color, these products are 

based on premium formulations so that 

these are available ready-for-use in cafés, 

fast-food restaurants and bars. These

Future-Focused Concepts and Solutions that 

Meet Evolving Consumer Demands at Fi 

Europe 2022 

Today’s consumers are increasingly looking for foods and 

beverages that not only proactively support their personalized 

wellness goals, but also support their communities and the 

planet. This holistic evolution of conscientious shopping is driving 

food and beverage innovation. At this year’s Fi Europe, ADM will 

take a deeper dive into what’s motivating consumers’ shopping 

behaviors, showcasing full-service platforms and systems, 

transparently sourced ingredients, cutting-edge solutions and 

technical expertise that bring on-trend, consumer-preferred 

concepts to life. Highlights include a variety of plant-based savory 

and dairy alternative offerings, lifestyle beverages, baked goods 

and snacks with gut microbiome-supporting solutions, as well as 

interactive sensorial stations. 

Sunfiber® is a soluble prebiotic dietary fiber produced from 

the guar bean which promotes the acitivity and multiplication 

of beneficial probiotics in the gastro-intestinal tract. 

Sunfiber® VB can be utilized in baby food. Because of its 

slow fermentation, Sunfiber® does not cause uncomfortable 

bloating, cramps or other digestive discomfort. All variants 

of Sunfiber® decrease the glycemic index of food products, 

which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Furthermore, the 

prebiotic dietary fiber supports the health and function of the 

intestinal tract, and increases overall wellbeing. Sunfiber® 

VC is characterized by its low viscosity which perfectly suits 

technological requirements. It also dissolves well in fluids 

such as milk beverages or supplements in the form of syrups 

and shots. 

Green tea catechins in the Sunphenon® range are innovative 

ingredients. Their health-promoting properties differ 

depending on the catechin: Sunphenon XLB can be used 

in oral hygiene and disinfectant products to make it more 

difficult for viruses to penetrate. Sunphenon® EC is a 

myostatin blocker that can positively contribute to muscle 

growth. In sufficient doses, it can also have beneficial effects 

against diabetes and obesity. The Sunphenon® EGC variant 

is an amylase and glucosidase blocker that can also have a 

health-promoting effect in type 2 diabetes and obesity. 

"Consumers are increasingly questioning a product's ingredients 

and looking for natural and plant-based alternatives with added 

health benefits," says Dr. Stefan Siebrecht, managing director 

of Taiyo's German subsidiary. "Taiyo is therefore presenting 

innovative solutions and products that enable the industry to 

meet these demands."

Three Factors That Affect Production 

Value Targets 

by CLEMENS PRÖBSTING 

Diet soft drinks and other mid-calorie 

alternatives make up a growing 

segment of today’s soft drink industry. 

Along with ingredients like acids and 

artificial flavors, typical diet soft drinks 

also contain sweeteners. While other 

ingredients cannot be overlooked, it is 

mostly sugar that affects the density of 

the soft drink. This effect is expressed 

in sugar concentration (°Brix), which 

can easily be analyzed by measuring 

density. 

To demonstrate the effectiveness 

of this technology compared with 

traditional methods, Anton Paar, along 

with a selection of soft drink production 

plants, carried out a comparative study 

in which it conducted more than 1,800 

measurements over several batches of 

diet beverages with a PBA-SD analyzing 

system from 2011 and a new PBA 5001 

Soft Drink Diet system. The study 

aimed to explore whether the PBA 

Figure 1: Anton Paar’s PBA 5001 Soft Drink 

5001, a measuring system based only 

on density, could out-perform Anton 

Paar’s older system, which was based 

on density and color measurements, 

in analyzing the most important 

influencing factors for guaranteeing inspec 

production of diet products and 

%Diet. 

Results showed that the new system 

could indeed be used for this style of 

measurement. Due to its new patented 

measuring principle (an oscillating 

U-tube principle called the Pulsed 

Excitation Method) as well as continuous 

technological improvements that have 

been made over the years, the system 

was effective. 

Measuring density for %Diet 

monitoring 

Traditionally, the perfect diet drink has 

been linked to a laboratory reference 

method. For this, a lead substance 

(e.g., phosphoric acid) is picked to 

determine the concentration of a diet 

drink, and the reference lab analysis 

specifies if the target reference 

value for the lead component can be 

reached and how much it deviates. 

A major disadvantage of reference 

methods is that they are timeconsuming 

procedures and require 

skilled operators and chemicals.

Table 1: Overview of reference methods for different diet beverages 

The influence of process water 

Process water is the main ingredient 

of a diet soft drink and is different 

at every soft drink plant. Small 

density variations during production 

are possible, depending on the 

pretreatment. The following table and 

figure show measuring results from the 

PBA 5001 Soft Drink Diet. A 500 mL 

Analyzing the three factors 

that negatively influence diet 

concentration 

All steps in this study were performed 

with the PBA 5001 Soft Drink Diet from 

Anton Paar, which measures %Diet 

based on density with an accuracy of 

0.5 %Diet. 

Sample preparation procedure 

The soft drink package (glass, can, or PET 

bottle) was placed into a PFD Piercing 

and Filling Device without any sample 

preparation having occurred. The 

package was then pierced by the device 

and the sample directly transferred to 

the measuring system. 

Sample Measured diet conc. [%] Density [g/cm 3 ] Added water [mL] 

Diet cola 1 100.00 1.00098 0 

Diet cola 2 92.21 0.99919 50 

Diet cola 3 84.92 0.99912 100 

Diet cola 4 77.84 0.99904 150 

Table 2: The influence of process water 

diet cola was diluted with water. The 

same water was used for the process 

water adjustment. 

Figure 2 shows that the low density 

of process water changes the density 

of the final beverage. Due the 

influence of process water, the actual 

measurement no longer agrees with 

the adjustment and leads to a lower 

diet concentration. Consequently, 

it can be assumed that if the diet 

concentration result is below the 

reference value, there is too much 

process water in the final beverage. 

As a result, operators know that 

they have to adapt their production 

process. 

The influence of citric acid 

Density measurement is not a selective 

measuring technique. Because diet syrup 

has a lot of ingredients, it is difficult to 

determine whether the syrup dosing is 

wrong or if a specific syrup ingredient 

causes the wrong diet concentration. In 

the table and figure below, an example 

is shown. Citric acid was added to a 500 

mL diet orange beverage. 


21

Processing 

Since citric acid has a very high density, 

the density of the final beverage changes 

drastically. Diet concentration increases 

significantly (above 200% with 3g added 

citric acid). Such a strong increase in diet 

can usually only be triggered by an acid. 


Diet orange 1 100.00 1.00066 0 

Diet orange 2 109.92 1.00090 0.3 

Diet orange 3 129.28 1.00137 1.0 

Diet orange 4 169.65 1.00235 2.0 

Diet orange 5 209.98 1.00333 3.0 

Table 3: The influence of acids 

The influence of syrup 

ingredients 

Syrup dosing is a critical taste and 

cost factor. Syrup was added to 500 

mL diet cola. The results are shown 

below. 

In this example, too much syrup was 

added to the process water, which 

led the density of the final beverage 

to increase and no longer match the 

adjustment. Since the density change 

is not as strong as with citric acid, the 

increase in diet concentration can easily 

be related to syrup dosage. 

One system covers it all 

Since, as was shown above, a highly 

accurate density measurement is the 

most reliable way to monitor quality 

in terms of diet concentration (%Diet, 

mL NaOH, etc.) during the production 

process for diet beverages, using one 

system for all samples of a production 

plant is beneficial. 

A system for quality checks on 

all products from a soft drink 

factory 

With its PBA 5001 Soft Drink Diet, Anton 

Paar now offers an analyzing system 

that is not only capable of measuring 

diet soft drinks and energy drinks, but 

also mid-calorie drinks, regular drinks, 

and bottled water. Since the sample 

is transferred directly from the final 

package with the help of a special 

filling device, no sample preparation is 

required for analysis. 

All key parameters analyzed in 

one run 

Besides density, the system simultaneously 

selectively determines the pH value and 

amount of dissolved O 2 

and CO 2 

in the 

package. Analyzing all key parameters in 

one run from a single sample helps soft 

drink producers optimize their blending 

process and ensure ideal carbonation 

levels. PBA 5001 systems that are already

Diet cola 5 135.94 0.99969 10.0 

Table 4: The influence of syrup dosage 

being used can easily be upgraded due 

to their modular setup. Since there is 

automatic filling error detection in the 

density and CO 2 

meters, users can be 

confident that their sample filling has 

been done correctly. 

Less reference analysis in daily 

work routines 

For anyone still using the complex 

molybdenum blue or titration methods 

for diet drink analysis, Anton Paar’s new 

beverage analyzing system can help. It is 

easily adjusted and operated. A reference 

for %Diet measurements is only set 

at the beginning of batch production, 

which reduces the demand for reference 

analysis by 75 % and saves users money 

on costly chemicals and consumables. 

Conclusion 

The quality of a diet beverage is largely 

influenced by three factors: process water, 

citric acid, and syrup ingredients. This 

study showed that these three factors 

have a negative impact on production 

target values. Because of this, analyzing 

these during the whole production 

process is best done with a system based 

on density measurement.

Covert Detection 

Technology Helps Identify 

Counterfeit Regional Wines 

The National Office of Vine and 

Vitivinicultural Products (ONVPV) in 

Romania, is using Eluceda’s covert 

taggant marker with a unique machinereadable 

signature, to authenticate 

the provenance of its regional wines 

and protect drinkers from potential 

counterfeits. 

The ONVPV oversees national vineyard 

management and winemaking in Romania 

and supports the traditional production 

of wine in this designated geographical 

area. The security labels provide a clear 

brand identity for the ONVPV, which is 

easily recognizable on labelled bottles 

and products within a retail environment. 

Working closely with security label 

manufacturer Eltronis, Eluceda provided 

a tailored taggant to ensure that ONVPV 

wine labels were protected by the latest 

covert security technology, helping 

producers to stay one step ahead of the 

counterfeiters. 

By adding authentication technology 

to wine bottles, the ONVPV is helping 

to counter this trend, promoting the 

provenance of the region, and building 

protection against potential counterfeit 

through the ability to identify genuine 

products. 

Richard Burhouse, Commercial Director 

for Eluceda, said: “We’re seeing growth 

in the use of our covert markers to 

help protect products of geographic 

importance, as they provide discrete and 

instant verification of genuine goods for 

enforcement officers working in the field. 

“We are delighted to be involved in 

this project and support progressive 

organisations such as the ONVPV who 

continue to invest in security technologies 

in order to promote their wines and take 

a clear stand against fraud.” 

The new labels build on ONVPV’s 

existing design and combine an overt 

hologram with high-level covert security. 

Eluceda’s taggant marker with its unique 

machine-readable signature provides an 

instant unambiguous response to the 

pocket-sized Reveal detectors used by 

enforcement officers in the field. 

The Reveal range of readers work in 

hand in glove with Eluceda’s MicroTagg 

and Securitagg inorganic taggant 

materials and are configured according 

to the ONVPV’s needs to identify genuine 

wines quickly and securely. 

Wine fraud is on the rise in all markets, 

helped in part by the growth of 

ecommerce. This poses significant 

dangers to both consumers and 

producers alike, as fraudsters will 

sometimes include dangerous additives 

and trust in a brand can often be broken 

if customers fall foul of counterfeiters.

State-of-the-Art Filtration Technologies 

for a High-Quality and Efficient Wine 

Production at SIMEI 2022 

The Filtration Division of power 

management company, Eaton, will present 

an extensive range of filtration and 

biotechnology products at the SIMEI trade 

show in Milan, Italy, from November 15 

to 18 (booth E29, hall 1). The exhibition 

program includes various filter media 

that reliably remove colloids, tannins, 

yeasts and bacteria for excellent taste 

of premium wines. Optimally combined, 

they prevent early clogging of the end 

filters that results in more efficient wine 

production. 

One highlight from Eaton’s range 

of filtration solutions is the BECO® 

filter cartridge offering including filter 

cartridges that are exactly tailored to 

the specific requirement profiles of wine 

filtration. Dependent on the focus – 

whether performance, safety, economy, 

flexibility or the preservation of individual 

taste and color – Eaton application experts 

will be available at the booth to discuss 

optimum combinations of BECO PROTECT 

FS FineStream pre-filter, BECO PROTECT 

PP Pure pre-filter and new BECO 

MEMBRAN PSplus membrane filter 

cartridges for an effective pre-filtration 

and final filtration of full-bodied, bright 

and stable wines. 

Also on display will be the three latest 

product developments of Eaton stacked 

disc cartridges. The BECODISC® R+ range 

comprises of eight backflushable extra 

robust variants. They are designed for a 

minimum of 20 regeneration cycles and 

can be flexibly reused in coarse, clarifying, 

fine, microbial reduction and microbial 

removal filtration. 

In Eaton’s double-layer stacked disc 

cartridge range, BECODISC BXS, two

Oat Milk Manufacture using 

High Shear Mixers 

Non-dairy or plant-based milks, such 

as Oat milks, have become increasingly 

popular over the past few years and as 

a result Silverson has been seeing more 

enquiries from manufacturers in the 

beverage industry seeking guidance and 

process solutions for this application. In 

response, Silverson has released a new 

'How to' video on the manufacture of Oat 

Milks, showing how a Silverson mixer can 

be beneficial in different stages of the 

manufacturing process. The processes 

shown in this video can be applied to the 

manufacture of other plant based/nondairy 

milks such as nut milks like almond 

and hazlenut, legume milks such as soya 

and coconut milks. 

Oat milks can be manufactured in a 

number of different ways, but the end goal 

is the same. Whether the oat milk is to be 

made from whole, cut or rolled oats, or 

from oat flour, they all need to be reduced 

down to a fine particle size in order to 

achieve the correct mouthfeel and product 

consistency. Many manufacturers also 

require the oats to be ground as finely as 

possible to minimize the amount of waste 

generated and save on processing costs. 

But equipment used for grinding may 

not be suitable for creating emulsions or 

dispersing gums and thickeners which 

are often added at a later stage in the 

manufacturing process. 

The manufacture of Oat milks and other 

types of non-dairy milks consists of lots 

of different mixing processes. But rather 

than using several pieces of processing 

equipment, the disintegration of the oats, 

dispersion of enzymes, incorporation 

of gums and thickeners and in some 

cases plant oils, can all be handled by 

one Silverson High Shear mixer. The 

interchangeable workheads available for 

all Silverson rotor/stator mixers ensure 

that full dispersion of all ingredients, is 

possible. It also helps to future proof the 

production process as raw materials can 

be changed and blends of different plantbased 

ingredients can be introduced. 

Dairy/non-dairy blends can also easily be 

produced with the mixer. 

A shown in the 'How to' video, a Silverson 

mixer is able to disperse any type of oats 

into water while reducing the particles 

down to a fine, uniform size. The highspeed 

rotation of the rotor blades 

within the workhead draws the oats and 

surrounding liquid into the workhead. 

Once in the workhead the oats are 

subjected to a milling action between the 

ends of the rotor blades and the inner wall 

of the stator, reducing them down. The mix 

is then forced, at high velocity, out through 

the perforations in the stator, in this case 

a fine stator screen, and back into the 

body of the mix. This sets up a circulatory 

pattern of mixing which ensures the oats 

will pass through the workhead many 

times, gradually reducing down until the 

desired particle size is achieved. 

The way in which a Silverson mixer works 

allows the same machines to be used for 

subsequent steps in the manufacturing 

process, such as liquid/liquid blending 

when enzymes are added to the liquified 

oats, or when plant oils are added to the 

aqueous phase. 

The mixer can also be used for powder/ 

liquid mixing. As Oat milks are not 

naturally shelf stable, many formulations 

include stabilizers such as locust bean 

gum to help improve stability. But these 

powdered ingredients are difficult to 

disperse and hydrate with conventional 

mixing equipment such as stirrers and 

agitators which do not create the shear 

energy necessary to break agglomerates 

down once they have formed. A Silverson 

mixer can ensure an agglomerate-free 

dispersion and maximized yield. The mixer 

will rapidly incorporate the powder, with 

the gums being drawn into the workhead 

and hydrated before agglomerates are 

able to form. 

Once all of the ingredients have been 

incorporated and the mixture has passed 

through a filtration stage, the Oat Milk 

may be fed through a High Pressure 

Homogenizer. This is to ensure that the 

fat droplets are finely dispersed so as to 

be undetectable in the mouthfeel. Where 

Photo: Silverson 

a Silverson mixer is used as a preliminary 

processing step, this ensures that particles 

are uniformly and finely dispersed. This 

will allow the mixture to pass through the 

High Pressure Homogenizer at a much 

faster rate, reducing processing times and 

saving on costs. 

There are a number of Silverson mixers 

suitable for the manufacture of Oat 

milks. The batch size, raw materials and 

formulation dictate which would be most 

suitable for each individual customer. 

As shown in the 'How to' video a Batch 

mixer can carry out all of the previously 

mentioned mixing processes. But for 

larger batches, an In-Line mixer may be 

more suitable. 

Silverson In-Line mixers can be used in 

conjunction with Batch Mixers, Duplex 

Disintegrators and Bottom Entry mixers 

where whole nuts, seeds or oats are 

used; the In-tank mixer provides the 

initial particle size reduction and the In- 

Line mixer further refines the product to 

obtain the desired finished texture. 

For even larger batches, the Silverson 

Pilot Disintegrator Plant works in a 

similar way and comprises a Bottom 

Entry Disintegrator and an In-Line mixer/ 

homogenizer.

Precise Results: New Analytical 

Instrument Unites 3 Measuring Tasks 

in 1 Instrument 

The new instrument analyzes liquid, translucent samples for their optical spectrum, color, 

and water parameters. Or any of the three. Operators speed up their processes and improve 

the quality of the results using Easy VIS. They, therefore, save money, time, and space. 

The instrument takes over the measuring 

tasks of up to three instruments: a 

colorimeter, a spectrophotometer, and 

special measuring methods for water 

testing, such as titration. All this power 

rests in one instrument about the size of 

a notebook. The results appear on screen 

in trustworthy accuracy, precision, and 

repeatability – within seconds. That 

saves money, time, and space. The 

instrument’s name is Easy VIS, one 

of the next-generation EasyPlus UV/ 

VIS spectrophotometers produced by 

METTLER TOLEDO. 

Manufacturers benefit in many 

ways 

A typical place for Easy VIS is the QC 

lab at small manufacturers in the food 

and beverage industry, environmental 

testing labs, or any industry needing 

quality control and supervising their 

process- or wastewaters. The Easy VIS 

is used during multiple steps of the 

production process: For inspection of 

raw materials, quality control of semifinished 

and finished products, or 

testing the water quality of wastewater. 

This streamlines the production 

processes considerably. Those who 

used to send their samples to an 

external laboratory profit even more, 

as they can now analyze most samples 

independently at an internal cost. 

The visual user interface with workflow 

guidance allows you to simply scan 

and measure. Even untrained staff 

can operate Easy VIS intuitively. This 

increases the integrity and repeatability 

of the analysis and saves training time. 

Easy VIS operates within a wavelength 

range of 330 to 1,000 nm. The light 

source is an easy-to-replace tungsten 

lamp, which any operator can replace 

within no time. 

The partner device, Easy UV, covers the 

full UV/Vis spectrum with a wavelength 

The PathDetectTM function of the compact Easy VIS spectrophotometer produced by METTLER 

TOLEDO recognizes which path length is measured and reduces errors.

starts the measurement. 

range from 190 to 1,000 nm to cover 

additional applications in the UV range. 

Plus: The Easy UV runs with a powersaving 

and maintenance-free xenonflash 

lamp.

25 standard-compliant color scales in 

the visible range come pre-installed 

and can easily be used. Some examples

are ICUMSA TM for sugar color, ESBC for 

beer quality analysis, or OIV CIELab for 

wine color determination. The results 

reveal the quality of the product within 

seconds. 

Water analysis shows, for example, 

the concentration of Aluminum, 

Ozone, Chlorine, or Polyphenol. This 

reveals whether the water is fit for 

human consumption or can be used in 

further production. Is the wastewater 

safe to release? With its numerous 

built-in water testing methods, the 

spectrophotometer can quickly provide 

the answer. 

For spectrophotometry, the sample is 

analyzed at the wavelengths where the 

sample has its characteristic absorption 

of light. The Easy VIS measures the 

transmitted or absorbed light and 

the reading reveals the sample’s 

concentration or purity.

Plant-based Drinks: Focussing on Oats 

Just ten years ago, plant-based drinks 

were still a niche product found mostly 

in organic grocery stores. Today, they’ve 

made their way into every supermarket, 

without exception – and they’re filling 

the shelves with an increasingly colorful 

array of products. This sheer diversity is 

also reflected in the processing methods 

for the various raw materials used 

because each one possesses certain 

properties that must be taken into due 

account in the production process. 

Krones is focussing above all on the 

production of oat drinks and can offer 

three different process variants. 

Variant 1 – Using a ready-made 

oat base 

Just like in soft-drinks production, the 

oat base used in this process variant 

comes in liquid form and can simply 

be purchased from suppliers. It is then 

blended with any additional ingredients 

such as stabilizers, aromas, or fats to 

achieve the desired consistency and 

flavor nuances. Incidentally, this step 

is common to all three options. The 

blending itself is done in standard 

process tanks which are already on hand 

in the syrup rooms of many beverage 

plants. That is precisely why this option 

is ideal for companies wanting to quickly 

give the production of oat drinks a 

try without needing to invest in new 

equipment. 

Variant 2 – Using oat meal 

This process variant based on oat meal 

is also suitable for getting started 

quickly since it likewise uses common 

process tanks for blending. It does, 

however, require a disperser (such as 

a vacuum mixer) for dissolving the oat 

meal in water. The difference between 

this process and variant 1 is that the 

first step requires the addition not 

only of water but also of enzymes 

that catalyse hydrolysis. After that, 

the solids simply have to be separated 

from the liquids in a decanter, which will 

also need to be installed. The resulting 

base can then be blended to create the 

final product. The ideal target group 

for this option is customers looking to 

make a quick start in producing midrange 

volumes of oat-based drinks with 

little investment. Dairies and other 

companies with production experience 

can meet some of the equipment needs 

with technology they already have on 

hand. 

Variant 3 – Using whole oat 

kernels or oat flakes 

Production in this variant is based on 

oat kernels or oat flakes, which can 

be freshly milled on site. Enzymes are 

added in specially designed enzyme 

tanks that are based on the mashing 

technology used in brewing beer. It 

is only logical to apply beer-making 

expertise of brewery specialists to plantbased 

drinks since both processes have 

a lot in common. Like barley or wheat, 

oats are grains that are milled and then 

vigorously blended with water and, later, 

with enzymes and other ingredients, 

in a special enzyme tank to create a 

homogeneous liquid. The pillow plates 

and integrated vibration units in the 

tank ensure that everything is heated 

evenly and the soluble components of 

the oats are extracted with the utmost 

efficiency. 

Besides high extract yields and product 

quality, these enzyme tanks offer 

great potential for energy savings. The 

specially shaped interior heat exchanger 

surface transfers the heat so efficiently 

that the temperature of the heating 

media can be reduced dramatically and 

hot water can be used instead of steam. 

As a result, the energy recovered during 

the cooling process can be used for the 

next heating cycle.

Maximum Flexibility in Product Labelling 

Gernep Presents New Pre-Modular Combined Machines 

For 40 years, Gernep has been supporting 

producers from the beverage, food, 

consumer healthcare and non-food 

industries with customized labellers for 

high-quality product decoration. Its range 

of services comprises self-adhesive, wetglue 

and hotmelt labelling from the label 

reel or label magazine, to ensure that each 

individual product can have the right label. 

The Bavarian labelling machine 

manufacturer is setting new standards in 

2022: to achieve maximum flexibility in 

product labelling, Gernep has developed a 

new generation of pre-modular combined 

machines. GERNEP’s combined machines 

are unique in their ability to integrate 

a variety of gluing systems on just one 

machine. Depending on the customer’s 

requirements, they can be operated either 

mechanically or with servo motors. With 

the option of integrating special additional 

equipment, such as seal labellers, control 

technologies and visual or mechanical 

equipment, each machine can be 

individually adjusted to meet customer 

demands. 

One highlight of the new machine 

generation is the flexible labelling station 

suspension system which can be used to 

easily combine different labelling station 

types. They are also intuitive to use thanks 

to an improved swivel-mounted operator 

panel (HMI) including new features. To 

ensure that the latest safety requirements 

can also be met, the labelling machines are 

equipped with a newly designed lift guard. 

Gernep’s pre-modular combined machines 

are rounded off with a visually appealing, 

sleek design which is distinguished by its 

excellent accessibility, thus also making 

machine maintenance and cleaning child’s 

play. 

Gernep is driven by a desire to continue 

developing its products in line with 

changing market conditions and customer 

demands. Even its conventional rotary 

labelling machines – equipped with just 

one type of glue – are state of the art and 

can be individually adjusted to deliver 

precisely what the customer needs. 

The use of high-quality materials make 

Gernep labelling machines particularly 

durable. In line with their motto “More 

than Labelling”, this Bavarian engineering 

company has invested a great deal in the 

further development of its company and 

machinery over the last few years, with 

an aim to providing its customers with the 

best possible assistance in their product 

presentation.

Cap Sterilization has Never Been Safer 

The French aseptic packaging specialist Serac offers a new sterilization technology, 

combining the highest levels of efficiency and safety for consumers, operators, and the 

environment. The BluStream cap decontamination module requires only 3 square meters 

of floorspace and can be integrated on new Serac lines as well as on existing machines, 

whatever their OEM. It is intended for high-acid as well as low-acid beverages and is able to 

treat up to 600 caps per minute. 

Physical, dry treatment carried 

out at room temperature 

Serac’s BluStream module uses the lowenergy 

e-beam technology. Electrons are 

thrown all over the surface of the cap 

and quickly destroy microorganisms by 

breaking their DNA chains. 

Electrons do not penetrate the treated 

material and thus do not affect the 

internal structure of the cap. As treatment 

is carried out at room temperature, it 

avoids risks of distortion that could alter 

caps’ behavior upon screwing. 

BluStream treatment is, nevertheless, 

highly efficient since it ensures a 6-Log 

bacteriological reduction inside the cap 

in only 0.3 to 0.5 second. This efficiency 

level makes BluStream suitable for 

aseptic packaging and high outputs. 

Safer for consumers 

Unlike APA and H 2 

O 2 

solutions, BluStream 

uses no chemicals. It also makes 

Inside the BluStream module for cap sterilization 

BluStream module for caps at Sources Alma plant in France 

sterilization easier to monitor with only 

3 critical parameters: voltage, current 

intensity, exposure time. 

Bacteriological reduction is ensured as 

soon as the cap has been exposed to 

the necessary dose of electrons yet, this 

dose depends on perfectly controllable 

parameters and can be monitored in 

line through a simple dosimetry test. 

Sterilization is confirmed in real time, 

which is not possible with chemical 

laboratory tests. 

Combined together, these 3 features 

reduce the risk that a cap contains 

chemical residues, receives insufficient 

treatment and/or is not detected as 

faulty. 

Safer for operators 

The BluStream module is quieter than 

conventional sterilization units. 

The operating environment is also 

very comfortable due to the absence 

of chemical odors. The BluStream 

module only generates ozone, which 

is extracted outside the factory 

walls. Ozone is quickly and naturally 

depleted in the environment and 

leaves no trace. 

Safer for the environment 

The BluStream module also brings 

environmental benefits. As a chemical 

free treatment, it does not generate 

toxic effluents. In addition, it requires 

neither water nor heating or steam, 

it has a lower demand in energy and 

water than conventional sterilization 

methods. 

BluStream offers beverage manufacturers 

a perfectly safe, real-time 

monitored and environment-friendly 

solution, for continuous cap sterilization 

at high outputs. 

BluStream treatment can be applied on 

any type of cap (HDPE, LDPE, PET, PP, 

aluminum), and whatever the bottle size.

UPM Raflatac, a global supplier of innovative and sustainable labeling materials, 

is solving bottlenecks for designers with their recently published dynamic 

digital label material swatchbook for wine, sprits and beverage (WSB). This 

new tool allows designers to bring the designs to life by downloading highdefinition 

images and utilizing the selected label material in their preferred 

design software. 

Platform 

for your 

success 

“The digital swatchbook was created with designers in mind. There are plenty of 

label materials available for wine, spirits and beverage, but the challenge is to 

find the right match to the packaging and to find it easy and fast. As we now live 

in a world with less face-to-face meetings, it is essential to have an efficient, userfriendly, 

and innovative digital tool that can change the landscape of label and 

packaging design,” says Stefano Pistoni, Senior Manager, Business Development, 

Wine, Spirits and Beverage, UPM Raflatac.

“For us at Advision, the UPM Raflatac 

Digital Swatchbook is a new incredible 

tool to support our creative and design 

workflow. We have already tried the highresolution 

textures download and just in 

a few minutes we created mockups and 

realistic renderings. This new tool has 

two strengths: it greatly simplifies our 

work and helps us to convey our idea 

of the final result to clients in a realistic 

way,” stated Matteo Zantedeschi, Art 

Director, Advision. 

The digital swatchbook allows users 

to search by visual appearance of 

face material or by features and 

functionalities of the material. As a 

global tool, the swatchbook is segmented 

by region to provide a highly customized 

user experience.

Packaging 

Food-Grade PET with Integrated 

rPET Supports Supply, Quality and 

Sustainability 

Local, national and multi-national 

beverage brands are increasingly keen to 

boost the sustainability of their packaging, 

with vocal commitments driven by 

ambitious targets for environmental and 

economic performance. 

With such a high demand for more 

sustainable packaging solutions, the 

challenge for converters and brands is 

often reliability of supply; wanting to 

do more of the right thing isn’t always 

possible if the product isn’t available in 

the first place. 

‘Closing the loop’ is a phrase that 

represents the scientific approach 

to a circular economy for the plastic 

packaging industry, with the focus on 

making sure sustainable packaging 

solutions are reliably available by cutting 

waste, efficiently recycling, and effectively 

reintegrating post-consumer waste, 

particularly from single-use plastics. 

Lithuania-based UAB NEO Group, 

manufacturer of polyethylene 

terephthalate (PET) resins, is one of 

Europe's leading producers of highquality 

PET resins and polyols, and part 

of the multi-national plastic packaging 

producing group’s RETAL Industries Ltd. 

NEO Group’s most recent new product 

development sees it harness many years 

of expertise in glycolysis processes with 

the production of aromatic polyester 

polyols to create a future-focused solution 

to this closing the loop conundrum. 

Food grade and sustainable 

NEOPET Cycle is food contact PET 

with rPET flakes integrated directly 

into the virgin resin material, offering 

a transparent solution free from 

contamination. Explained as ‘a partial 

replacement of fossil-based raw 

materials with purified rPET flakes for 

the production of NEOPET Cycle resins’, 

this easy-to-use product ticks many 

sustainability boxes. 

Ruslanas Radajevas, General Manager 

at NEO Group, explains how the 

product has been created, saying, “The 

production of our NEOPET Cycle is 

based on a chemical depolymerization 

process using feedstock from postconsumer 

PET food packaging 

collections. This production uses two 

different raw material streams, both 

standard raw materials and rPET 

flakes. After the paste preparation, 

liquified rPET flakes are added into 

the first stage esterification. Our fully 

integrated process of adding flakes 

directly into the polymerization stage 

of virgin resin materials means that 

NEOPET Cycle is in total compliance of 

EU and FDA food contact requirements, 

with no EFSA approval needed.” 

This extensive technical capability and 

deep understanding of the need for a 

sustainable food-contact raw material is 

good news for NEO Group’s customers, 

which include sister company RETAL. 

RETAL regularly uses NEOPET Cycle to 

produce plastic packaging solutions for 

its global beverage brand customers, 

who appreciate the consistent quality 

which is as a result of the extremely strict 

filtration technology. 

RETAL EU Purchase Director Arturas 

Scerbakovas says that reliable quality is 

the most important benefit of choosing 

NEOPET Cycle. “Quality is the biggest 

advantage as chemically recycled PET 

is much more stable in terms of quality 

than mechanically recycled. Chemical 

recycling improves the clarity of resin, 

plus the intrinsic viscosity is the same as 

virgin PET." 

RETAL’s household name beverage brand 

customers appreciate the reliability of 

supply too, thanks to the preferential 

supply offered thanks to be part of the 

same holding group. RETAL EU Purchase 

Director Arturas Scerbakovas says, “NEO 

Group is a sister company to RETAL, 

Ruslanas Radajevas, Neogroup CEO 

so we are pleased to have preferential 

supply; this is especially beneficial at 

a time when continuity of supply of 

raw materials is a challenge for some 

converters. To be able to guarantee a 

sustainable solution for our customers is 

very welcome!” 

Help close the loop 

The ease in which NEOPET Cycle helps 

close the loop is welcomed by every 

stakeholder across the packaging 

supply chain and throughout the 

beverage industry as a whole, with 

sustainable plastic packaging valuable 

for the continued success of the 

convenience sector, without unnecessary 

environmental impact. 

Radajevas shares how NEOPET Cycle 

helps to close the loop, explaining, 

“Integrating rPET supports closing 

the loop and the circular economy by 

creating less plastic pollution, fewer CO 2 

emissions, and having less dependence 

of oil reserves. NEOPET Cycle helps 

converters to help their food and 

beverage brand customers to meet their 

sustainability targets too. It’s a very 

logical solution – it just needed expertise 

to make it a reality!”
