distillation It is the process of separating liquid mixtures into their components through evaporation and condensation.
In addition, this process is used in a wide range of industries, including food, to produce a wide range of products, from alcoholic beverages and other products such as:
- Alcoholic drinks: Whisky, vodka, rum, gin, tequila, etc.
- Essential oils: Lavender oil, lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, etc.
- Pharmaceutical products: Ethyl alcohol, acetone, ether, etc.
Distillation: an art refined by technology
Modern distillation techniques have revolutionized the way spirits are produced, as these techniques allow manufacturers to create products with more complex and sophisticated flavours.
- Column distillation: It is a continuous process that uses a fractionation column to separate the components of a liquid mixture. This technology allows manufacturers to separate the components of a mixture more finely than traditional distillation, resulting in products with more complex flavors.
- the Vacuum distillation: It is carried out at lower temperatures than traditional distillation. This helps preserve the delicate flavors of the products, resulting in distillates with milder flavours.
- Molecular distillation: It works under extreme vacuum conditions, which reduces the boiling temperature of compounds. This prevents thermal degradation of sensitive components, resulting in a purer distillate with a better defined aromatic profile.
In addition to these techniques, food engineers are developing new techniques to improve the distillation process of the distillates they use Latest sensors To control distillation parameters and ensure product quality.
They are also used Machine learning models Predicting the behavior of distillates during the distillation process.
