This application note explains the method to determine the alcohol content in beverages by measuring density using densitometry. |
Why is alcohol content determination important?
Determination of alcohol content is an important step taken in industries producing alcoholic beverages for assessing the purity and quality, ensuring compliance to regulatory bodies and safety of consumers.
Why choose digital density meters to determine alcohol content?
Instruments like hydrometers, pycnometers and digital density meters are operator dependent leading to inaccurate results, but with the help of a digital density meter you can get robust and accurate analysis of alcohol content.
How to determine alcohol content in alcoholic beverages?
To determine the alcohol content of beverages, distillation is mandatory before measuring the density of the beverage containing other substances such as sugar or flavors. Then later, the density measurement of the beverage sample is done, followed by conversion into the desired alcohol units.
