--Innovative technology will taste-test
beverages in production--
Alpha MOS, the leading manufacturer of electronic instruments
for sensory analysis, announced today that they have successfully
completed the final phase of testing on Coca-Cola beverages in
Charlotte, North Carolina, using their Heracles QA Solution
technology.
The objectives of the testing were to determine the ability and
repeatability of the Heracles QA Solution to detect the presence of
“off-flavors” used by Coke Consolidated for beverage Quality
Assurance in the production facilities. The purpose of the testing
is to demonstrate that the Heracles QA Solution meets and exceeds
all the requirements of the Coca-Cola Manufacturing Sensory Program
and is compliant with all Coca-Cola requirements for product
quality and production, in terms of performance and production
usability.
“The results and performances of our Heracles QA are in line
with our expectations and above our customer expectations. This
accomplishment represents the collective work completed by our
teams in both France and North America, as well as considerable
support of our client, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated,” said
Herve Martin, CEO of Alpha MOS.
“We are very pleased with the results achieved with the Alpha
MOS solution,” said Cloeann Durham, Vice President, Quality
Assurance at Coca-Cola Consolidated. “Our company has experienced
significant growth over the last several years. This new,
innovative technology will allow Coke Consolidated to more
efficiently maintain and deliver the highest beverage quality
standards to customers and consumers throughout our expanded
franchise territory.”
“Sensory Analysis is a human panel test used by the Food and
Beverage Industry to ensure that their products meet a high-quality
standard. In this case, we are using lab instrumentation to
determine if the beverage meets a certain taste profile, thus
eliminating the potential for human error and the associated
subjectivity of the results,” added Mr. Martin.
