The art and science of beverage technology
The mission of the Beverage Operations & Processing Technical Committee is to share the basic / best practices of beverage operations, review new / traditional beverage processing techniques, and advise guidelines, best practices, and principles to benefit a successful beverage processing facility.
Make plans to attend the Beverage Operations and Processing Technical Committee virtual meeting at BevTech® 2021. The Beverage Operations and Processing Technical Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 4, 2021. Watch this page for the committee agenda in late 2020. The theme of this year's BevTech is Trends and Innovations in Challenging Times.

The Subcommittee Chair position for this committee is open. If you are interested in the position, please contact the ISBT office at for more information.The objectives / goals of the committee include: This subcommittee promotes the understanding and expertise of ingredient mixing technologies and provide a technical forum for discussion of how best to handle and mix established and new ingredients for the global beverage industry.
The objectives / goals of the committee include:
The aim of this subcommittee is to develop industry standards for the sampling and evaluation of solid parts in liquid or semi-liquid food applications as well as the description of the corresponding liquid / beverage.
The focus is, therefore, placed on the sampling and physical analytical methods rather than processing and parameters. Since there is of course an interaction between the process and the product / beverage, these interactions are also considered.
The ongoing main scope of the groups work is to develop the document of the growing guideline: Inclusion Sampling Guideline — Beverage and Food Applications with Inclusions and Physical Methods for Analysis.
The Beverage Operations and Processing Technical Committee worked with the Beverage Institute by ISBT® and The Packaging School to develop the following courses:
The Fundamentals of Beverage Technology is a self-paced, interactive session providing a technical overview of the beverage industry. It covers the complete supply chain from research and development to ingredients, processing, packaging, and food safety to finished goods distribution.
The Introduction to Beverage Processing and Introduction to Finished Goods Distribution modules were developed in conjunction with the Beverage Operations and Processing Technical Committee.
