Application note: Precise In-Line Analysis of Alcohol Mixtures with Fiber Optic Probes

What is the real cost of an off-spec batch? In many chemical processes, the precise ratio of components like methanol and ethanol can be the difference between profit and loss. Relying on slow, manual lab sampling means you are often reacting to problems long after they occur, rather than preventing them. This is where direct, […]

Revolutionizing Wine Fermentation Monitoring with Fiber-Based Spectroscopy

Posted on: 
4 July 2025

Ever wondered how you can monitor wine fermentation in real time without disturbing the process? In our latest application note at art photonics, we explain how the combination of mid-infrared (mid-ir) and uv-vis spectroscopy with fiber-based technology is transforming fermentation analysis.

Our study on Federweißer (fresh wine) revealed that key ethanol peaks become clearly visible by Day 6—indicating the sugar-to-alcohol conversion occurring between days 2 and 6. This approach offers several benefits:

  • Real-time monitoring – Track ethanol formation as it happens during fermentation.
  • Dual-technique approach – Utilize both mid-ir and uv-vis spectroscopy with a single fiber probe.
  • Non-invasive analysis – Obtain direct measurements without the need for sample preparation.
  • Compact solution – Ideal for in-line monitoring within various biotechnological applications.

This innovative technology opens doors for wine producers, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical applications, and the food and beverage industry. The ability to obtain complementary molecular and compositional information in real time makes this method highly valuable for fermentation analysis and process optimization.
