Overview of the five goals of finishing: clarity, stability, compositional adjustment, style development, and packaging.
This paper investigates the critical "finishing" phase of beverage production, where the primary focus shifts from creation to refinement. While fermentation and distillation produce the raw alcohol, post-process technologies such as , accelerated wood-aging , and AI-driven stabilization are essential for ensuring a shelf-stable, high-quality final product. This study examines how emerging non-thermal technologies—like ultrasound and high-pressure processing (HPP)—are being utilized to prevent microbial spoilage without synthetic preservatives. 1.
