Automated Fruit Juice Analyser
The BioSystems Y15 provides rapid automated analysis of fruit juice samples
Measure raw materials to end products
Monitor microorganisms in fruit juice
Measure hygiene indicators, sugars and organic acids
Highly cost efficient, long shelf life reagents
Fruit Juice Quality Contol
Monitoring the presence of microorganisms in fruit juice is easily achieved using the Y15 juice analyser by analysing different by-products from their metabolism such as lactic acid, acetic acid or ethanol.
Other parameters such as sugars or organic acids can be easily and reliably controlled during the process to ensure the quality of the end-product. Aspects such as nutritional facts, additives and authenticity can be monitored as well.
Parameters – D-Glucose, D-Fructose, Sucrose, Lactose, D-Galactose, D-Lactic Acid, L-Lactic Acid, L-Malic Acid, Acetic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid, D-Gluconic Acid, L-Glutamic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Glycerol, Ethanol, Total Acidity
