Beer characteristics
While packaging canned beer, it’s important to consider its organoleptic properties to ensure the quality and stability of the product. Beer is a complex drink, and it requires undivided attention for many factors, such as:
- The packaging temperature, which should be accurately controlled so that the product keeps its taste, smell and freshness
- The carbonation level, to guarantee the desired amount of effervescence
- Light protection, beer is sensitive to light, especially to ultraviolet radiation, which can cause unwanted chemical reactions and cause the product’s quality to deteriorate. It’s crucial to use materials that protect beer from direct light, such as cans, which provide a total barrier against rays of light.
All these factors can influence packaged beer quality. This is why it’s fundamental to use the right techniques and equipment to keep intact the organoleptic properties of beer during the packaging process.
