Systems and methods for determining an alcohol by volume (ABV) measurement of liquids that are stored in containers in a storage facility are provided. The ABV is determined by measuring capacitance using one or more electrodes coupled to an outside wall of the storage container. Other environmental parameters can be taken into account, such as a temperature and humidity.

Compositions containing monoamine oxidase inhibitors prepared by removal of alcohol from agave-derived beverages are disclosed.

The present invention relates to compound 1 or 2 or the composition comprising it. The present invention also relates to a process for obtaining compound 1 or 2, as well as to the use thereof for detecting GHB in beverages. An equipment or kit for use in detecting GHB in beverages is also included.

A system for monitoring the characteristics of a material by measuring electrical properties of a material uses a material monitoring device and a cloud database that relates electrical properties of a material to characteristics of that material. The aging and fermentation processes of wine and other alcohols can be monitored. The status and decomposition of foodstuffs can be monitored. The progress of chemical reactions in a vessel can be monitored. Water quality of water from a water conduit can be monitored. These characteristics can be indicated on a product monitoring device or can be communicated to an external computing device.

The disclosure is directed to systems, compositions and methods for tagging, identifying and authenticating bulk liquids. Specifically, the disclosure relates to methods, compositions and systems for selectively and specifically identifying bulk liquids as authentic using, as a tagging compound, photoluminescent carbon nanostructures (PCN's) suspended in a continuous phase that is thermodynamically incompatible with non-polar bulk liquid and/or substantially low concentration of PCNs; and incorporating the suspension into the liquid, wherein the suspension is incorporated at a concentration of continuous phase that is at least one of being below the solubility limit of the suspension's continuous phase in the bulk liquid and a concentration that cannot be observed unaided to the naked eye.

A plug for a container for storing liquid includes a housing and an input end at an end of the housing, the input end having a liquid-impermeable membrane that allows gas flow to pass through. A first sensor is in a first sensor chamber inside the housing, the first sensor being configured to detect a smoke taint compound. A first filter is between the input end and the first sensor, where the first filter selectively allows phenols to pass through. A second sensor is in a second sensor chamber inside the housing, the second sensor being configured to detect a second substance different from the smoke taint compound. A second filter is between the input end and the second sensor, wherein the second filter selectively allows the second substance to pass through.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a platform for controlling production and distribution of consumable items based on machine learning processes derived from chemical profiles of the consumable items.

Parameters of an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage can be determined through spectroscopic methods. In on example, the method includes obtaining a beverage sample and obtaining spectrographic data from the beverage. The spectroscopic data may be processed by a remote lab to determine a value range of the one or more beverage parameters, and a value of the one or more beverage parameters. The one or more beverage parameters may include one or more of beverage color, bitterness, Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN), yeast count and yeast viability.

Method for isotopic identification, allowing, where appropriate, a liquid to be linked to a site of growth or harvest or a sub-product derived from a determined liquid, via analysis of concentration or of ratios of stable isotopes, and comparison to isotopic codes generated beforehand in a manner unique to a set of liquids issued from a site of growth, harvest or conversion. The invention also relates to a method that makes it possible to give a unique code to liquids of a site of growth, harvest or conversion, and to a computer making it possible to store the unique codes generated in memory, to generate unique codes for new liquids of a site of growth, harvest or conversion and to perform comparisons.
