Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for packaging wine in metallic containers.
- metal containers is understood herein to mean any metallic container, including containers made from aluminum and steel, and includes, byway of example, one-piece cans, two-piece cans, and “bottles” with screw or other closures.
- the screw or other closures may be made from aluminium or any other suitable material.
- can making is understood herein to include the making of both cans and metallic bottles with screw caps, as while metallic bottles are not cans, a similar manufacturing process is used, that only significantly differs from a can making process in the way the shoulder and neck of the metallic bottle is formed. The differences between can and metallic bottle making processes do not affect the working of the invention as disclosed hereafter.
- the present invention relates particularly to the impact of sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) on packaging wine in metallic containers .
- Wine is produced by the yeast fermentation of the juice of grapes and occasionally other fruits.
- SO 2 and/or analogues such as metabisulphite is often added to wine for reasons including "the killing and growth inhibition of unwanted bacteria and yeast/ the inhibition of phenoloxidase activity, the interaction with wine phenols in the competitive oxidation, the reaction of sulphite with peroxide, the binding of aldehydes and anthocyanin pigments and the delay of brown pigment development" 1 .
- SO 2 can also be advantageous at the time of packaging wine as a means of allowing winemakers to quickly stabilise wine so that it is suitable for packaging.
- the first step of the Aspiration method is to remove free SO 2 by passing a stream of air through an acidified sample. Free SO 2 is collected in hydrogen peroxide/mixed indicator solution. The indicator changes from green to purple when free SO 2 is collected, indicating sulfuric acid has formed from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and SO 2 . The sulfuric acid is back titrated with standardized sodium hydroxide to the end point (green color returns) . The acidic sample is then heated which releases the bound SO 2 which is subsequently collected and analysed in the previously described manner.
- Some types of wine are packaged under pressure, with the pressure being caused either by the gases produced during the natural fermentation process or by gases added during packaging, especially carbon dioxide.
- Claim 1 of the Barokes patent application defines a process of packaging wine in a two-piece aluminium can having an internal corrosion resistant coating.
- the claimed process comprises the steps of:
- the Barokes patent application describes that the above-mentioned maximum levels of free SO 2 , chlorides, and sulfates are necessary in order to minimise corrosion of the packaged cans and minimize tainting of the packaged wine in aluminium containers .
- Cans are commonly used to package a range of beverages .
- the particular coating used by the applicant is manufactured by Valspar Corporation and marketed under the trade mark Ecodex.
- An alternative method of making cans is to coat the metallic plate used to make the cans with a polymer such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other polyesters, and then form the metallic container from the coated metal plate, known as the Polymer Coated Steel (PCS) . No further polymer coating is applied during the can making process. It should be understood that the present invention is intended to cover metallic containers made from PCS as well as metallic containers coated during the can making process.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- PCS Polymer Coated Steel
- the applicant has found, surprisingly, that it is possible to package wine that has concentrations of any one of the constituents free SO2, chlorides, and sulfates that is above the above-mentioned maximum concentrations in metallic containers that have the above-mentioned amine apoxy coating on an internal surface of the containers without creating issues with respect to corrosion of the containers and tainting of wine in the containers.
- the applicant has found, surprisingly, that it is possible to package wine that has concentrations of free SO 2 in wine that are above the limits that are generally regarded as acceptable from the viewpoints of corrosion and wine tainting in metallic containers that have the above-mentioned particular coating.
- the coating is an inhibitor of the AI/SO 2 reaction discussed above and thereby minimizes the reaction.
- a process of packaging wine in a metallic container having an internal coating that inhibits reactions between the metal of the container and free SO 2 in the wine that result in container corrosion and wine tainting which method includes the steps of:
- a process of packaging wine in a metallic container having an internal coating that includes the steps of:
- the coating may be any suitable coating that inhibits and thereby minimises reactions between free SO 2 and the metal of the container that result in container corrosion and wine tainting.
- the coating is an amine epoxy coating, such as the coating manufactured by Valspar Corporation and marketed under the trade mark Ecodex.
- the upper limit for free SO 2 that is generally regarded as acceptable from the viewpoints of container corrosion and wine tainting will vary from container to container and is a function of a number of factors including, by way of example, the metals from which the containers are formed and the compositions of the internal coatings .
- the upper limit for free SO 2 to avoid corrosion and tainting of the wine is thought to be around 50 ppm, more preferably 35 ppm # for metallic containers, such as aluminium containers and steel containers. More specifically, Metal Box pic and others in the 1960's and 1970' s showed that steel cans did not corrode appreciably when containing wine having upper limits of free SO2 of between 25 and 50 ppm. In particular, as a consequence of this work, it was thought that 25 ppm is the upper limit for SO 2 for aluminium cans.
- step (d) comprises treating the wine after the container has been filled and sealed and reducing the concentration of free SO 2 to be less than 35 ppm.
- treatment step (d) includes selecting the coating of the container so that it can absorb free SO 2 from the wine into the coating or can react with the wine to reduce the free SO 2 concentration to be below the limit generally regarded as acceptable from the viewpoints of container corrosion and wine tainting.
- the process further includes a step of gas flushing the container with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, after step (b) of filling the container.
- an inert gas such as nitrogen
- a further embodiment of the invention is gas flushing the wine with a gas that contains an elevated oxygen content, or even pure oxygen to oxidize free SO to sulfate.
- the pressure in the container can be any pressure sufficient to provide the mechanical stiffness required for the handling of the container in the supply chain.
- This pressure may be provided by the addition of liquid nitrogen in still wine, by the addition or retention CO 2 in sparkling wine, by a combination of the two gases, or by any other suitable means of providing mechanical pressure.
- the wine may be prepared in step (a) by any suitable process.
- step (a) includes preparing wine that has at least 40 ppm free SO2.
- step (a) includes preparing wine that has at least 45 ppm free SO2.
- undercover gassing flowing an inert gas between can and end
- the purpose of undercover gassing is to remove the oxygen found in the air.
- the wine used was a SE Australian dry white wine blend (Tahbilk "Everyday drinking” Chairmans Dry White) .
- the hydrogen sulphide content in the wine was measured using the following procedure - 5 ml of sample was incubated in a 20 ml headspace vial until an equilibrium was achieved in the headspace (optimal conditions for incubation time and temperature were determined experimentally) .
- a sample of the headspace gas was injected into a gas chromatography unit fitted with a pulsed flame photometric detector (PFPD) .
- PFPD pulsed flame photometric detector
- the limit of detection was 2 ⁇ g/L and the system was calibrated to the 40 ⁇ g/L level. Samples which had higher levels of hydrogen sulfide than 40 ⁇ g/L were diluted until results were within calibration range. It is thought that hydrogen sulphide can produce an unpleasant odour if dissolved at a concentration greater than 50 ⁇ g/L.
- the wine was poured into aluminium cans that had the standard aluminium coating removed.
- the cans were sealed within one minute of pouring, and analyzed after 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months .
- Odour threshold is typically 5 ppb 2 , but this can range significantly between individuals.
- the results indicate that there was no corrosion and probably a very small increase in the risk of wine tainting.
- the decrease in SO 2 from 60 ppm down to 30 ppm indicates that there was some reaction occurring that reduced the concentration of SO 2 .
- the results indicate that the coating formed a chemical and a physical barrier to SO 2 contacting the aluminium can.
- cans were scratched with a sharp implement exposing the metal surface. Each scratch was around 10 mm in length and the approximate width of the scratching implement. The area of the metal exposed by the scratch was deliberately chosen to be much greater than the level of metal exposure acceptable in quality testing in a beverage package.
- Loss of coating is not normally measured directly in can production, but instead the current is measured when a given voltage is applied across the coating. If the current is higher than about 5 m&, there is a defect in the can. This test is extremely sensitive and can detect and reject cans with gaps in the coating smaller than the eye can see, or smaller than a pinhole. Hence, it will be apparent that the scratch made in the third experiment will be much greater than would passable in normal can production.
- SO 2 is both an oxidant and reductant. In the presence of oxygen, the SO 2 is oxidized to SO 4 , thus removing the oxygen and reducing free SO 2 . The reduction in free SO 2 due to reaction of SO 2 to form sulfate is the reason for the lower corrosion rate.
