How is Neutral Alcohol different from other types of alcohol?

Neutral Alcohol is different from other types of alcohol because it is organoleptically neutral. This means it has no taste or smell. This makes it an ideal base for spirits and other alcoholic beverages because it doesn’t interfere with the flavors and aromas that are added during the distillation process. Additionally, Neutral Alcohol is typically distilled to a very high proof, usually around 96% alcohol by volume, making it much stronger than other types of alcohol like beer or wine. Finally, Neutral Alcohol is used in a variety of industries beyond just the production of alcoholic beverages such as the food and beverage industry, cosmetics and beauty industry and for pharmaceutical and medical grade purposes.

What is the process of redistillation in making Neutral Alcohol?

Redistillation is the third step in making Neutral Alcohol. After the fermented mixture has been rectified to 96% v/v alcohol, demineralized water is added to remove any impurities in the mixture. The rectified alcohol is then redistilled. This is a process of heating and cooling the mixture to separate the alcohol from any remaining impurities. The rate of conversion of rectified alcohol into Neutral Alcohol typically occurs between 70-80%. This means that for every liter of rectified alcohol that is processed, between 0.7 and 0.8 liters of Neutral Alcohol are produced.

How is the quality of Neutral Alcohol ensured during the production process?

The quality of Neutral Alcohol is ensured during the production process through rigorous testing and quality control measures. This includes testing the raw materials for purity and consistency, monitoring the fermentation process closely and conducting multiple distillation rounds to achieve the desired purity level. Additionally, the final product is tested for various parameters such as alcohol content, pH level and impurity levels to ensure that it meets industry standards and customer specifications.
