Abstract
Process analytical chemistry is a subdiscipline of analytical chemistr y devoted to chemical measurements on processes. This paper reports th e results of a feasibility study on ethanol determination during the p roduction of alcoholic beverages. In this study near-infrared spectros copy will be used to replace conventional laboratory analyses. The nea r-infrared spectra can also be applied to determine density and amount of natural sugars, two important parameters in the production process .
