The US beverage industry produces millions of liters of sports drinks, ready-to-drink teas, beers, and other beverages each year. To stay competitive, manufacturers must ensure their products are safe, consistent, and of the highest quality.
UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy has become a cost-effective, non-destructive tool that helps beverage producers meet these goals by enabling efficient product analysis.
By measuring dissolved substances in beverages—such as flavor additives, dyes, caffeine, and other components—UV-Vis spectroscopy provides valuable insights into the quality and consistency of the product.
