ON THE METHODS OF CONTROL OF PARAMETERS DURING FILLING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SOFT-FREE GASED SOW-CONTAINING DRINKS
The article presents an analysis of existing methods and means of monitoring various parameters of produced soft drinks, as well as examples of their automated production. In addition, the article contains excerpts from those in force at the time of writing the State Standards of the Russian Federation on the topic of non-alcoholic beverages. It is shown that the presence of additives allows to increase the shelf life of the drink (the period after which the food product is considered unsuitable for its intended use) to six months (in some cases up to a year), however, translates non-alcoholic drink into the category of “harmful” food, long-term use which adversely affects the health of the consumer. However, the existing systems of Technical Regulations, standards, norms and rules that define methods and means of measuring the parameters of soft drinks, and also establishes the shelf life of the product, do not have and do not use express control methods that can significantly reduce the time of examination, reduce this article expenses of the enterprise. Therefore, it is proposed to adapt for them an express method of weight impedance spectroscopy, by developing a sensor cap and a portable automated identification system and determining the quality of soft drinks, without opening the container.
