Conference Room - Hall 1
The event focused on the importance of monitoring oxygen in the headspace of corked bottles. Participants explored the consequences that the presence of oxygen can have on the quality and preservation of wine, and why it is crucial to measure it in real time during the production process. The principles and functioning of a new technological application based on laser spectroscopy have been presented. The application allows the oxygen concentration to be controlled online, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of the inertisation system. The innovation can therefore prevent the oxidation of wine, maintaining high quality standards and preserving its organoleptic characteristics.
