Detection of dimethyl decarbonate in multi-fruit juice pet pack with Velcorin (DMDC) indicator paper

Description
One of the problems with microbiological contamination in the non-alcoholic beverage production industry occurs during the filling of liquids into Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Even if all strict rules have been implemented during the production of non-alcoholic beverages, after the pasteurization of these beverages, one of the main problems remains the filling of liquids into PET bottles. This issue arises because microorganisms are found everywhere in the ambient air and on bottle caps. For this reason, Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) is approved for use in a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages. Dimethyl dicarbonate is injected after the pasteurization of the juice and before the process of filling the juice and closing the bottle. The aim of this paper is the detection of Dimethyl-dicarbonate during the injection of DMDC, and the detection of DMDC in the final product at different hours to see if DMDC has remained in the liquid or has been completely hydrolyzed. We performed the DMDC detection test with Velcorin indicator paper.
