ABSTRACT
Alcoholic beverages (fermented or not) have been consumed for morethan three thousand years and generally they have been considered safe becauseof their alcohol content However in recent years adulteration (ie use of low-cost inappropriate alcohol) has made rapid progress in this field Food and drinkcontrol and safety can be assured within the frame of strict adherence to qualityand safety systems (ISO 9000 series HACCP and TQM) The flow diagrams forthe production of several alcohol drinks were shown and an extensive hazardanalysis critical control point (HACCP) analysis was carried out in order toreveal the weaknesses of the production line and to suggest the critical limitsin compliance with legislation and the corresponding preventive and correctivemeasures
It has taken almost 30 years (since 1971 when it was officially presented forthe first time) for the concept of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) tobecome universally accepted as one of the most rigorous preventive programs whosestrict implementation can assure food safety (12) Although HACCP is a system

aiming at zero defect products it is well known that this is not feasible and thereal target is the minimization of unacceptable unsafe products When a companydecides to adopt HACCP it should be able to set controls at each point of theproduction line at which safety problems (physical chemical and microbiological)are likely to occur (3)
Prior to initiating a HACCP system a company must endeavor to put togethera HACCP plan most often described by the five following steps (1345) a) identifyHACCP resources and assemble the team b) describe the food and its distributionmethod c) state clearly intended use and consumers and d) develop a process flowdiagram and e) verify the validity of this diagram in practice (operation)
The regulatory requirements for Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures(SSOPs) in conjunction with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) should alsobe considered as a prerequisite to HACCP The following seven HACCP principlesconstituting the major steps to writing an HACCP (637)
1 Conduct a hazard analysis2 Identify critical control points (CCPs) by applying the HACCP decision
tree (8 Fig 1)3 Establish critical limits (CLs) for each CCP4 Establish monitoring actions5 Establish corrective actions6 Establish record-keeping procedures7 Establish verification procedures
Today HACCP is continuously gaining importance and worldwide acceptabil-ity being implemented by most countries all over the world The implementation ofHACCP in the EU in particular was introduced by the Council Directives 914393and 92592 HACCPrsquos implementation is considerably facilitated when other com-plementary quality assurance systems (ISO 90012) are already in place (9) Thecurrent tendency is integrating HACCP and ISO 9001 or ISO 9002 (1011) withinthe frame of Total Quality Management
Since the two most important stages for the drink industry are fermentationand bottling where hazards are likely to occur special care is required (trainedpersonnel sanitation equipment maintenance GMP)
This review article aims to present an overview of HACCP implementation toalcoholic beverages through the production and distribution chains and to pinpointthe current CCPs CLs and preventive and corrective actions due to be undertakenin case any deviations are observed

Introduction
Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of wort obtainedfrom barley malt flavored with hops The alcoholic content of beer ranges from 4

in Europe Beer drinking in northern Europe dates back to early antiquity contraryto the Mediterranean countries in which wine was the commonest drink A criticalpoint in its history was the works of Louis Pasteur which greatly contributed to theunderstanding of beer production (12)
Beer Main Production Stages
The main stages for beer production are shown schematically in Figure 2together with their critical control point (CCP) numbers
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
The principal raw materials used to brew beer are water malted barley hopsand yeast Barley is required to be of sufficiently good malting quality in order togerminate and to produce a satisfactory product yield Other factors such as dor-mancy and losses during malting have also to be considered (13) The malting orsubsequent brewing characteristics are subtly affected by the weather conditionsprevailing over the growing period Some information regarding the quality of abatch of barley can be obtained by visual inspection but usually it is complementedby analyses including moisture content total nitrogen 1000-grain weight and theportion of nongerminating grain The National Institute of Agricultural Botany(UK) provides descriptions of the European malting varieties Residues of certainpesticides used on malting barley survive through to the final malt and wort and canaffect the process and quality of the end product (CCP) Fungicides and herbicidesinfluencing enzyme synthesis during malting process can accumulate in the yeastthereby affecting the next fermentation (14) The critical limits of these substancesare prescribed by Codex Alimentarius and are presented in Table 1 Presence ofheavy metals above the specifications of Directive 80776EC and mycotoxin pro-duction more than 004 mgL mainly from Fusarium species such as aflatoxinsochratoxine A zearoleon deoxyniralenol constitutes a high risk for human health(CCP) (15) Temperature and relative humidity are two interacting parameters thatdefine the germination of spores of different microorganisms (16) Visual inspec-tion and biological plate methods detect the fungal contamination for mycotoxinanalysis employment of HPLC or ELISA is required (17)
The quality of the water used is a major factor affecting the beer quality(CCP) The development of strict water control standards was introduced by mostbreweries in which water is filtered through activated carbon as well as ion ex-change resins to remove impurities (pesticides herbicides and industrial wastes)Two ions of particular importance in water are calcium and carbonatebicarbonatewhich control the pH during brewing Calcium also protects α-amylase from heatdestruction thereby permitting liquefaction of starch during mashing (18)
Hops not only provide bitter flavor to the beer but impart a hoppy characteras well These aroma components are derived from the essential oil The brewing

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

IMPLEMENTATION OF HAZARD ANALYSISCRITICAL CONTROL POINT (HACCP) SYSTEMTO THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES INDUSTRY

ABSTRACT
Alcoholic beverages (fermented or not) have been consumed for morethan three thousand years and generally they have been considered safe becauseof their alcohol content However in recent years adulteration (ie use of low-cost inappropriate alcohol) has made rapid progress in this field Food and drinkcontrol and safety can be assured within the frame of strict adherence to qualityand safety systems (ISO 9000 series HACCP and TQM) The flow diagrams forthe production of several alcohol drinks were shown and an extensive hazardanalysis critical control point (HACCP) analysis was carried out in order toreveal the weaknesses of the production line and to suggest the critical limitsin compliance with legislation and the corresponding preventive and correctivemeasures
It has taken almost 30 years (since 1971 when it was officially presented forthe first time) for the concept of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) tobecome universally accepted as one of the most rigorous preventive programs whosestrict implementation can assure food safety (12) Although HACCP is a system

aiming at zero defect products it is well known that this is not feasible and thereal target is the minimization of unacceptable unsafe products When a companydecides to adopt HACCP it should be able to set controls at each point of theproduction line at which safety problems (physical chemical and microbiological)are likely to occur (3)
Prior to initiating a HACCP system a company must endeavor to put togethera HACCP plan most often described by the five following steps (1345) a) identifyHACCP resources and assemble the team b) describe the food and its distributionmethod c) state clearly intended use and consumers and d) develop a process flowdiagram and e) verify the validity of this diagram in practice (operation)
The regulatory requirements for Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures(SSOPs) in conjunction with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) should alsobe considered as a prerequisite to HACCP The following seven HACCP principlesconstituting the major steps to writing an HACCP (637)
1 Conduct a hazard analysis2 Identify critical control points (CCPs) by applying the HACCP decision
tree (8 Fig 1)3 Establish critical limits (CLs) for each CCP4 Establish monitoring actions5 Establish corrective actions6 Establish record-keeping procedures7 Establish verification procedures
Today HACCP is continuously gaining importance and worldwide acceptabil-ity being implemented by most countries all over the world The implementation ofHACCP in the EU in particular was introduced by the Council Directives 914393and 92592 HACCPrsquos implementation is considerably facilitated when other com-plementary quality assurance systems (ISO 90012) are already in place (9) Thecurrent tendency is integrating HACCP and ISO 9001 or ISO 9002 (1011) withinthe frame of Total Quality Management
Since the two most important stages for the drink industry are fermentationand bottling where hazards are likely to occur special care is required (trainedpersonnel sanitation equipment maintenance GMP)
This review article aims to present an overview of HACCP implementation toalcoholic beverages through the production and distribution chains and to pinpointthe current CCPs CLs and preventive and corrective actions due to be undertakenin case any deviations are observed

in Europe Beer drinking in northern Europe dates back to early antiquity contraryto the Mediterranean countries in which wine was the commonest drink A criticalpoint in its history was the works of Louis Pasteur which greatly contributed to theunderstanding of beer production (12)
Beer Main Production Stages
The main stages for beer production are shown schematically in Figure 2together with their critical control point (CCP) numbers
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
The principal raw materials used to brew beer are water malted barley hopsand yeast Barley is required to be of sufficiently good malting quality in order togerminate and to produce a satisfactory product yield Other factors such as dor-mancy and losses during malting have also to be considered (13) The malting orsubsequent brewing characteristics are subtly affected by the weather conditionsprevailing over the growing period Some information regarding the quality of abatch of barley can be obtained by visual inspection but usually it is complementedby analyses including moisture content total nitrogen 1000-grain weight and theportion of nongerminating grain The National Institute of Agricultural Botany(UK) provides descriptions of the European malting varieties Residues of certainpesticides used on malting barley survive through to the final malt and wort and canaffect the process and quality of the end product (CCP) Fungicides and herbicidesinfluencing enzyme synthesis during malting process can accumulate in the yeastthereby affecting the next fermentation (14) The critical limits of these substancesare prescribed by Codex Alimentarius and are presented in Table 1 Presence ofheavy metals above the specifications of Directive 80776EC and mycotoxin pro-duction more than 004 mgL mainly from Fusarium species such as aflatoxinsochratoxine A zearoleon deoxyniralenol constitutes a high risk for human health(CCP) (15) Temperature and relative humidity are two interacting parameters thatdefine the germination of spores of different microorganisms (16) Visual inspec-tion and biological plate methods detect the fungal contamination for mycotoxinanalysis employment of HPLC or ELISA is required (17)
The quality of the water used is a major factor affecting the beer quality(CCP) The development of strict water control standards was introduced by mostbreweries in which water is filtered through activated carbon as well as ion ex-change resins to remove impurities (pesticides herbicides and industrial wastes)Two ions of particular importance in water are calcium and carbonatebicarbonatewhich control the pH during brewing Calcium also protects α-amylase from heatdestruction thereby permitting liquefaction of starch during mashing (18)
Hops not only provide bitter flavor to the beer but impart a hoppy characteras well These aroma components are derived from the essential oil The brewing

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

aiming at zero defect products it is well known that this is not feasible and thereal target is the minimization of unacceptable unsafe products When a companydecides to adopt HACCP it should be able to set controls at each point of theproduction line at which safety problems (physical chemical and microbiological)are likely to occur (3)
Prior to initiating a HACCP system a company must endeavor to put togethera HACCP plan most often described by the five following steps (1345) a) identifyHACCP resources and assemble the team b) describe the food and its distributionmethod c) state clearly intended use and consumers and d) develop a process flowdiagram and e) verify the validity of this diagram in practice (operation)
The regulatory requirements for Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures(SSOPs) in conjunction with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) should alsobe considered as a prerequisite to HACCP The following seven HACCP principlesconstituting the major steps to writing an HACCP (637)
1 Conduct a hazard analysis2 Identify critical control points (CCPs) by applying the HACCP decision
tree (8 Fig 1)3 Establish critical limits (CLs) for each CCP4 Establish monitoring actions5 Establish corrective actions6 Establish record-keeping procedures7 Establish verification procedures
Today HACCP is continuously gaining importance and worldwide acceptabil-ity being implemented by most countries all over the world The implementation ofHACCP in the EU in particular was introduced by the Council Directives 914393and 92592 HACCPrsquos implementation is considerably facilitated when other com-plementary quality assurance systems (ISO 90012) are already in place (9) Thecurrent tendency is integrating HACCP and ISO 9001 or ISO 9002 (1011) withinthe frame of Total Quality Management
Since the two most important stages for the drink industry are fermentationand bottling where hazards are likely to occur special care is required (trainedpersonnel sanitation equipment maintenance GMP)
This review article aims to present an overview of HACCP implementation toalcoholic beverages through the production and distribution chains and to pinpointthe current CCPs CLs and preventive and corrective actions due to be undertakenin case any deviations are observed

in Europe Beer drinking in northern Europe dates back to early antiquity contraryto the Mediterranean countries in which wine was the commonest drink A criticalpoint in its history was the works of Louis Pasteur which greatly contributed to theunderstanding of beer production (12)
Beer Main Production Stages
The main stages for beer production are shown schematically in Figure 2together with their critical control point (CCP) numbers
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
The principal raw materials used to brew beer are water malted barley hopsand yeast Barley is required to be of sufficiently good malting quality in order togerminate and to produce a satisfactory product yield Other factors such as dor-mancy and losses during malting have also to be considered (13) The malting orsubsequent brewing characteristics are subtly affected by the weather conditionsprevailing over the growing period Some information regarding the quality of abatch of barley can be obtained by visual inspection but usually it is complementedby analyses including moisture content total nitrogen 1000-grain weight and theportion of nongerminating grain The National Institute of Agricultural Botany(UK) provides descriptions of the European malting varieties Residues of certainpesticides used on malting barley survive through to the final malt and wort and canaffect the process and quality of the end product (CCP) Fungicides and herbicidesinfluencing enzyme synthesis during malting process can accumulate in the yeastthereby affecting the next fermentation (14) The critical limits of these substancesare prescribed by Codex Alimentarius and are presented in Table 1 Presence ofheavy metals above the specifications of Directive 80776EC and mycotoxin pro-duction more than 004 mgL mainly from Fusarium species such as aflatoxinsochratoxine A zearoleon deoxyniralenol constitutes a high risk for human health(CCP) (15) Temperature and relative humidity are two interacting parameters thatdefine the germination of spores of different microorganisms (16) Visual inspec-tion and biological plate methods detect the fungal contamination for mycotoxinanalysis employment of HPLC or ELISA is required (17)
The quality of the water used is a major factor affecting the beer quality(CCP) The development of strict water control standards was introduced by mostbreweries in which water is filtered through activated carbon as well as ion ex-change resins to remove impurities (pesticides herbicides and industrial wastes)Two ions of particular importance in water are calcium and carbonatebicarbonatewhich control the pH during brewing Calcium also protects α-amylase from heatdestruction thereby permitting liquefaction of starch during mashing (18)
Hops not only provide bitter flavor to the beer but impart a hoppy characteras well These aroma components are derived from the essential oil The brewing

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

in Europe Beer drinking in northern Europe dates back to early antiquity contraryto the Mediterranean countries in which wine was the commonest drink A criticalpoint in its history was the works of Louis Pasteur which greatly contributed to theunderstanding of beer production (12)
Beer Main Production Stages
The main stages for beer production are shown schematically in Figure 2together with their critical control point (CCP) numbers
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
The principal raw materials used to brew beer are water malted barley hopsand yeast Barley is required to be of sufficiently good malting quality in order togerminate and to produce a satisfactory product yield Other factors such as dor-mancy and losses during malting have also to be considered (13) The malting orsubsequent brewing characteristics are subtly affected by the weather conditionsprevailing over the growing period Some information regarding the quality of abatch of barley can be obtained by visual inspection but usually it is complementedby analyses including moisture content total nitrogen 1000-grain weight and theportion of nongerminating grain The National Institute of Agricultural Botany(UK) provides descriptions of the European malting varieties Residues of certainpesticides used on malting barley survive through to the final malt and wort and canaffect the process and quality of the end product (CCP) Fungicides and herbicidesinfluencing enzyme synthesis during malting process can accumulate in the yeastthereby affecting the next fermentation (14) The critical limits of these substancesare prescribed by Codex Alimentarius and are presented in Table 1 Presence ofheavy metals above the specifications of Directive 80776EC and mycotoxin pro-duction more than 004 mgL mainly from Fusarium species such as aflatoxinsochratoxine A zearoleon deoxyniralenol constitutes a high risk for human health(CCP) (15) Temperature and relative humidity are two interacting parameters thatdefine the germination of spores of different microorganisms (16) Visual inspec-tion and biological plate methods detect the fungal contamination for mycotoxinanalysis employment of HPLC or ELISA is required (17)
The quality of the water used is a major factor affecting the beer quality(CCP) The development of strict water control standards was introduced by mostbreweries in which water is filtered through activated carbon as well as ion ex-change resins to remove impurities (pesticides herbicides and industrial wastes)Two ions of particular importance in water are calcium and carbonatebicarbonatewhich control the pH during brewing Calcium also protects α-amylase from heatdestruction thereby permitting liquefaction of starch during mashing (18)
Hops not only provide bitter flavor to the beer but impart a hoppy characteras well These aroma components are derived from the essential oil The brewing

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

in Europe Beer drinking in northern Europe dates back to early antiquity contraryto the Mediterranean countries in which wine was the commonest drink A criticalpoint in its history was the works of Louis Pasteur which greatly contributed to theunderstanding of beer production (12)
Beer Main Production Stages
The main stages for beer production are shown schematically in Figure 2together with their critical control point (CCP) numbers
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
The principal raw materials used to brew beer are water malted barley hopsand yeast Barley is required to be of sufficiently good malting quality in order togerminate and to produce a satisfactory product yield Other factors such as dor-mancy and losses during malting have also to be considered (13) The malting orsubsequent brewing characteristics are subtly affected by the weather conditionsprevailing over the growing period Some information regarding the quality of abatch of barley can be obtained by visual inspection but usually it is complementedby analyses including moisture content total nitrogen 1000-grain weight and theportion of nongerminating grain The National Institute of Agricultural Botany(UK) provides descriptions of the European malting varieties Residues of certainpesticides used on malting barley survive through to the final malt and wort and canaffect the process and quality of the end product (CCP) Fungicides and herbicidesinfluencing enzyme synthesis during malting process can accumulate in the yeastthereby affecting the next fermentation (14) The critical limits of these substancesare prescribed by Codex Alimentarius and are presented in Table 1 Presence ofheavy metals above the specifications of Directive 80776EC and mycotoxin pro-duction more than 004 mgL mainly from Fusarium species such as aflatoxinsochratoxine A zearoleon deoxyniralenol constitutes a high risk for human health(CCP) (15) Temperature and relative humidity are two interacting parameters thatdefine the germination of spores of different microorganisms (16) Visual inspec-tion and biological plate methods detect the fungal contamination for mycotoxinanalysis employment of HPLC or ELISA is required (17)
The quality of the water used is a major factor affecting the beer quality(CCP) The development of strict water control standards was introduced by mostbreweries in which water is filtered through activated carbon as well as ion ex-change resins to remove impurities (pesticides herbicides and industrial wastes)Two ions of particular importance in water are calcium and carbonatebicarbonatewhich control the pH during brewing Calcium also protects α-amylase from heatdestruction thereby permitting liquefaction of starch during mashing (18)
Hops not only provide bitter flavor to the beer but impart a hoppy characteras well These aroma components are derived from the essential oil The brewing

value of hops depends on the resin fraction which amounts to 15 and the essentialoil comprising sim05 Total resin is defined as the material soluble in both coldmethanol and diethyl ether ldquosoftrdquo resin is that proportion of the total which issoluble in hexane comprising mainly α and β-acids while ldquohardrdquo resin is insolublein hexane The α-acids that are the most significant bittering precursors can bedistinguished from other soft resins from their ability to form a lead salt which isinsoluble in methanol The determination of moisture and seed content also provideuseful conclusions about their quality (13) Adjuncts of carbohydrate origin other

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling
The main function of dry or wet milling is to reduce the malt particle sizeto form grist (ground or milled grain) The particle size reduction facilitates the

Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

drops from 52 to 42 and by its completion the yeast is removed either as a top orbottom crop and retained to pitch the next fermentation Apart from the conventionalmicrobial detection methods with plate count several rapid detection methodspotentially applied in breweries such as ATP bioluminescence flow cytometryand polymerase chain reaction have been developed to reduce the incubation timefrom 3ndash4 days to 1ndash2 (2930)
Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 25
Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)

The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling
The main function of dry or wet milling is to reduce the malt particle sizeto form grist (ground or milled grain) The particle size reduction facilitates the

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 25
Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction

Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)
Milling

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

than malt are sometimes used as an additional source of extract to supplementmalt Unmalted cereal adjuncts usually contain no active enzymes and thereforerely on malt or exogenous enzymes to provide the necessary enzymes for starchconversion (19)
Yeast growth cannot be separated from the fermentation process and it isnecessary to the production of both beer and fresh yeast for use in subsequentfermentations The quality control of yeasts comprises a) the selection maintenanceand supply of a suitable strain and b) the routine assessment of purity and detectionof microbial contamination (CCP) (20)
Malting (CCP2)
This process involves steeping the barley in a shallow bed of water at a tem-perature of 10ndash15C so that its moisture content amounts to 45 wt- of barleyBarley is then allowed to germinate under controlled temperature conditions atapproximately 15C and RH100 with constant turning to prevent matting therootlets The barleycorn undergoes germination through air passage via the germi-nating malt for 3ndash5 days Gentle heating stops germination due to moisture removaland promotes formation of flavor compounds The kiln temperature regime is cru-cial for the color of malt and the survival of enzymes to be used in the mashingprocess Kilning duration usually varies between 24 and 48 h Time temperatureand moisture content are varied to control color and flavor development Chemicalmicrobiological and physical hazards may be encountered in this step In partic-ular nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) production during kilning (reaction of NOx
with organic materials) constitutes a chemical hazard with a critical limit (CL) at25 ppb because of its suspected carcinogenic effect In addition mycotoxin pro-duction more than 0004 mgL and color and flavor alteration represent chemicaland physical hazards respectively The NDMA content in malt can be controlled byusing indirect heating systems or by carefully maintained and controlled low-NOx
burners Regular checks should nevertheless be carried out by the maltster so thatthe residual risk caused by polluted air is kept as low as possible (17) The finishedmalt has its rootlets removed and is screened to produce the uniform quality Duringthe malting process two important changes occur a) the barley develops its ownenzyme systems and b) the naturally produced enzymes start to break down the cellstructure of the endosperm (19) Malt quality control tests include hot water extractcolor soluble nitrogen total nitrogen moisture enzyme activities viscosity andlautering prediction tests The microbiological status of malt used in the followingsteps (CCP) is very much dependent on its handling operations after production (16)

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

drops from 52 to 42 and by its completion the yeast is removed either as a top orbottom crop and retained to pitch the next fermentation Apart from the conventionalmicrobial detection methods with plate count several rapid detection methodspotentially applied in breweries such as ATP bioluminescence flow cytometryand polymerase chain reaction have been developed to reduce the incubation timefrom 3ndash4 days to 1ndash2 (2930)
Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine
The occurring hazards CCPs CLs preventive and corrective measures aregiven synoptically in Table 4
DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

extraction of soluble components mainly sugars and nitrogenous compounds fromthe endosperm (21)
Mashing (CCP3)
Mashing the first step in wort production involves extracting soluble materi-als from the milled malt This is accomplished by feeding the grist through Steelrsquosmasher a hydrator consisting of a large-bore tube bent at right angles During itspassage through the vertical portion of tube the grist is spayed with hot water (typ-ically 65C) and then mixed with the help of a revolving screw (22) The floatingendosperm particles hydrate and undergo further amylolytic scission by α- andβ-amylases Processors adjust the pH and temperature conditions to allow bothenzymes with a range of susceptibility to pH and temperature to work effectivelyNDMA production (CL = 25 ppb) as well as possible detergent residues constitutepotential chemical hazards for public health Continuous monitoring at the process-ing and adjustment of the lautering program and Cleaning In Place (CIP) systemwhen deviation occurs are proper preventive and corrective actions respectively
Lautering (CCP4)
The lauter tun is a vessel normally rinsed thoroughly with a sparging or hotwater delivery system before receiving the mash which precipitates at the flat floorof slotted stainless steel or brass plates At tun center there is a lautering machineon the shaft of which rotating rakes are attached to facilitate draining the wortinto a collection vessel called grant The wort is recirculated through the lauter tununtil it reaches a certain degree of clarity whereupon it is delivered to the kettle(21) In lautering production of Apparent Total N-nitroso compounds (ATNC)above the CL of 20 ppb constitute a CCP that should be monitored with chemicaland microbiological analyses Scheduled inspection and under-plate cleaning canprevent insufficient separation of trub from wort (23)
Boiling (CCP5)
Wort is boiled for up to 2 h at atmospheric pressure following the additionof hops (CCP) The shape of copper boiling time and temperature can affect thequality of produced beer The major objectives of wort boiling are a) wort steril-ization and enzyme inactivation b) extraction of bitter and other substances fromhops and formation of flavor compounds and c) evaporation of excess water andwort concentration evaporation of undesirable flavour volatiles Wort contamina-tion of the wort with Enterobacteriaceae from hops can result in various off-flavorsincluding ldquovegetablerdquo and ldquophenolicrdquo taints (24) Correct use of boiler treatmentchemicals steam condensate tasting for carrying over the taints and operation of

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)
Fermentation (CCP6)
Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

phenol analyses are all essential to avoid chemical contamination and taints devel-opment (23)
Clarification
Wort clarification is conducted either through sedimentation or filtrationWhen whole hop cones are used it is necessary to employ either a hop back ora hop separatorndashfilter The drop in hop usage and the widespread acceptance ofpreisomerized extracts led to utilization of a vertical cylinder known as whirlpoolwhich induces sustainable circulation of the trub collecting as a compact cone in thebase Whirlpools are more suited to larger worts and can also be used with ale Inmodern breweries centrifuges constitute a promising alternative to whirlpools (25)
Cooling
To prepare for fermentation the clear hopped wort is cooled usually in aplate heat exchanger During cooling it is advisable to aerate or even to oxygenatethe wort because next processing step involves yeast growth promoted in the pres-ence of dissolved oxygen despite the low dissolved oxygen concentration in wort(7ndash14 ppm) (22)

Fermentation aims at producing ethanol by fermenting yeasts Yeasts vary intheir behavior during fermentation some strains tend to flocculate trap plug CO2 andrising to the top whereas others do not flocculate and precipitate Several lagers areproduced by bottom fermentation while many types of ales and stouts are producedby top fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae is usually the top fermenting yeastin the range of 18ndash22C whilst the bottom-fermenting are strains of Saccharomycesuvarum that function in the range of 7ndash15C (26) Therefore the temperature atwhich fermentation occurs is very crucial for the further stages of beer productionThe modern use of cylindroconical vessels has reduced the fermentation periodfor ales and lagers from 7 to 2 or 3 days and from 10 to 7 days respectively (27)Fermentation is monitored by taking samples for measuring the specific gravityand can be controlled by varying the cooling rate (20) ldquoStuckrdquo fermentation wherethe required ethanol level is not attained and microbial contamination with Lacticacid bacteria mainly Lactobacilii and Pediococcus which cause taints duringmaturation or in bottle storage (28) represent microbiological hazards which arethe only hazard detected at this stage Common causes for ldquostuckrdquo fermentationinclude premature yeast flocculation and yeast failure to metabolize maltotriosedue to repression by glucose (25) A minimum of 90 viable yeast cells (CL) canbe applied to ensure the development of the process During fermentation the pH

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 37
HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Maturation
Maturation includes all those changes occurring between the end of primaryfermentation to beer filtration (31) Ale is matured at relatively warm temperatures12ndash20C while lagers are held under much cooler conditions The warmer temper-atures allow the rapid metabolism of any residual and priming sugars as well asloss of green flavors within 1ndash2 weeks depending on beer type yeast strain wortcomposition and primary fermentation conditions In case of lager the beer used tobe held at refrigerated temperatures for up to several months after fermentation al-lowing formation of proteintannin complexes (18) Today the enzyme addition hassubstantially shortened this process to several weeks during which flavor maturesEnzymes such as papain may be added during transfer between fermentation andmaturation tank The dosage of the proteolytic enzyme varies depending on typeof beer and process Enzyme activity decreases progressively during maturationuntil its inactivation with pasteurization Part of the enzyme absorbed in the yeastsurface is removed during filtration (19)
Filtration (CCP7)
Beer produced during fermentation is turbid and should be clarified prior to itsmarketing This turbidity is due to the presence of yeasts and proteinaceous materi-als associated with carbohydrates and polyphenols The formation of these proteinprecipitates is attributed to cold temperature low pH and poor solubility in alcoholicsolutions (32) To prevent this from occurring in the final product the beer may besubjected to various chill-proofing treatments during its storage These treatmentsgenerally include the addition of clays to absorb the colloidal materials or prote-olytic enzymes used to further solubilize the protein fraction (33) Since oxygenuptake during this process could severely affect the product organoleptic charac-teristics a CCP of dissolved oxygen should be applied with a CL of 02 ppm (34)
Packaging and Sealing
The packing section comprises several CCPs including the containers to beused their cleaning and disinfection (CCP8) the filler line (CCP9) and the sealer(CCP10) The bursting pressure of the bottles as guaranteed by the manufacturerin his specifications for the new glass may no longer be valid in case of reusable

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 37
HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Bottle Pasteurization (CCP11)
Pasteurization is carried out to ensure the beer shelf life over a period ofmonths This is accomplished by the development of tunnel pasteurization in whichthe beer bottle is subjected to 60C for 20 min Over-pasteurization which causesoxidation and can adversely affect beer flavor (38) is a potential physical hazardFurthermore it is crucial to check the time-temperature procedure with adequatecorrective actions for assuring the production of a satisfactory product
Bottle Inspection (CCP12)
Bottle inspection after the pasteurization step is important to ensure that bottleshave not been damaged during the process (39) Should such a situation occur theequipment has to be standardized by the production engineer
Labeling and Standardization (CCP13)
Labeling of the package should comply with the requirements of the CodexGeneral for the labeling of prepackaged foods (40) This means that the name of theproduct shall be clearly declared there must be a list of ingredients in descendingorder of proportion no other fruit may be represented pictorially except those usedand ldquothe date of minimum durabilityrdquo will be declared by the month and year inuncoded numerical sequence

SAKE
Introduction
Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 25
Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Sake is a fermented liquor made from rice and coming in many varietiesdepending on the raw materials manufacturing process and process after brewing(41) According to the earliest records sake was originally brewed from rice thathad been chewed to reach saccharification followed by natural fermentation Sakebrewed this way was used as a sacred wine in the worship of the Shinto gods Thisassociation with religion Shintoism and Buddhism has caused a deep intertwiningof sake with the traditions and social customs of Japan Thus today sake is servedat ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds (42) Sake has the highest alcoholpercentage by volume of any fermented beverage In its natural undiluted state itmay contain a potent 20 ethanol compared to 3ndash5 for beer or 9ndash12 for winewhich may reach higher values for fortified wines (4344) The central brewersrsquounion divides sake into four basic flavor types on four axes of sweet sour bitterand umai The latter is another translatorrsquos nightmare which generally ends uptranslated as delicious According to position established along these axes sakeis considered to be of ldquomature typerdquo ldquofragrant typerdquo ldquolight and smooth typerdquo orldquofull-bodied typerdquo (Fig 3) However no set of criteria can adequately express themultiplicity of sensations that together create the flavor unique to any individualsake but there is a perceived need for terms which quickly and simply give thegeneral idea

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine
The occurring hazards CCPs CLs preventive and corrective measures aregiven synoptically in Table 4
DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Sake Main Production Stages
The main stages for sake production are schematically presented in Figure 4
Raw Materials (CCP1)
The main ingredients of Japanese sake are rice sake rice sake yeastand water The rice most suitable for sake should consist of large grains and shouldbe soft with a white part at its center due to coarse cell structure Rice should complywith the maximum residue limits for pesticides and insecticides established by theCodex Alimentarius Commission for this commodity (45) (CCP chemical hazard)For Japanese sake yellow koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is used Sake yeast (Sac-charomyces cerevisiae) is a microbe converting the occurring glucose and mineralsin rice and water into alcohol Employment of bubble-free type yeast eliminates

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)
Steaming (CCP4)
Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

the bubble removal step thus shortening the brewing period and reducing the costShould the factory wish to employ a specific yeast an adequate disinfection ofthe building interior is required otherwise undesirable bacteria may be introducedwhich could prove hazardous to human health (CCP microbiological hazard) (46)
Rice Polishing (CCP2)
The brown rice used for sake production must be first polished to remove theouter portion of the grain which contains fats proteins minerals and amino acidsthat can cause unpleasant flavors leaving the starch residues that are located in thecenter of the grain Nowadays machines are programmed to automatically removewhatever portion of the rice is required for the specific sake (47) The rice polishingratio (73ndash35) is expressed by the following formula (43)
Rice polishing ratio=(weight of white riceweight of brown rice)times100 (1)
The polishing process should be gently carried out because friction results inheat generation thereby greatly affecting water absorption and rice grain structureBroken grains are unlikely to satisfactorily ferment (47) Maybe the most importantstage in sake production consists of yeast starter mash production which can takeplace either with the classical Kimoto or slightly revised Yamahai process or withthe new ldquohigh speedrdquo methods (48)
Washing (CCP3)
After the rice has been polished rice powder clinging to the grain surface isremoved by washing Washing can be carried out either mechanically or manually(laborious hand washing) and should result in removing most of the organic andinorganic impurities reaching the CLs set by Codex Alimentarius of 15 and01 mm respectively
Soaking (Steeping)
Soaking allows rice to absorb the desired amount of water that is crucial toestablishing the rice consistency For sake produced ldquoen masserdquo simply dumpinginto a vat overnight for as long as 14 h is a usual case (47) However high polishedrice may be soaked within minutes In such a case an error of a minute might proveto have dire consequences for the end product (43)

Steaming aims at softening the rice grains and breaking down the starchmolecules thus encouraging the growth of Aspergillus oryzae and eliminating all

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

other microorganisms leaving an initially sterile environment prone to sake moldpropagation Presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts may occur at theend of this step representing a microbiological hazard and resulting in consider-able organoleptic losses The time can vary from 20 to 60 min depending on thebrewer and apparatus employed (40ndash60 and 20 min for traditional and automatedrespectively) (4346)
Cooling
The ensuing division of steamed rice is mainly related to its further use Apart of it is directly cooled by air blower whereas 20ndash30 is transferred to a heatedculture room to be infected with bacteria spores (Aspergillus oryzae) for sake moldproduction
Koji
Since rice grains contain no sugar it is the action of koji mold that converts thestarch in the grains to sugar The steamed rice is first cooled to 15ndash36C before beingtransferred to the koji culture room (30C) Spores of the mold are sprinkled likefine dust on the rice when it has cooled down to 33C After the spores are kneadedinto the steamed rice the rice is heaped and wrapped in cloths to prevent heat andmoisture loss which are two crucial factors for satisfactory bacterial growth Tomaintain uniform temperature and moisture rice is spread and mixed twice the firsttime after 20 hours (upon the appearance of white flecks) and then 7ndash8 h thereafteraccompanied by a distinctive aroma release (48)
Main Mash (Moromi) and Fermentation (CCP5)
In fermentation the occurring chemical hazards are related to heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Pb lt 03 mgL) pesticide residues (as mentionedin Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (absence) and ethylene glycole(absence) Their CLs can be determined and monitored with specific chemicalanalyses The ingredients of main mash (water koji rice and steamed rice) areadded to the starter mash in three steps (moving from small to bigger recipient)over a period of 4 days at successively lower temperatures thus preventing thegrowth of airborne bacteria (Table 2) A day after the addition of all the ingredientsformation of a moist surface showing clear cracks occurs Furthermore the mashbegins to bubble (indication of fermentation progress) as gas is given off during theburgeoning fermentation The fermentation can take place at various temperaturesand its duration depends on it that is at lower temperatures it takes up to twoweeks but the sake aroma is much more appealing compared to that formed athigher temperatures The characteristic sake aroma results from combined flavor

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 37
HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

components of a number of compounds produced during fermentation (49) Theelevated alcohol content of the fermented sake is related to lipid metabolism ofyeast in the presence of proteolipid provided by the koji molds (5051)
Additions (CCP6)
The addition of alcohol at this stage is carried out unless it is clearly statedthat sake does not contain any alcohol from extraneous sources The added alcoholshould not contain methanol or if it does the content of the latter should be lessthan 05 gL because of its toxicity (CCP chemical hazard)
Pressing
Automatic machine presses (consisting of a series of panels with balloon-likesacks attached) are most widely used nowadays instead of the traditional time-consuming method using long bags The remained caked lees are employed forpickle production and cooking or sedimentation of rice particles may occur Alter-natively sedimentation of rice particles at the bottom of the tank may take place
Filtration
Coloring and aging (maturation) inhibition can be effected by using activatedcharcoal filters
Pasteurization (CCP7 and CCP8)
Heating sake preferably twice at 65C kills off the remaining yeast stops en-zyme action and deactivates the lactic acid bacteria that will eventually spoil sakeThis process represents a microbiological hazard for which the specific plant may

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

WINE
Introduction
Wines are made from the fruit of Vitis vinifera of which there are a greatnumber of varieties growing in many parts of the world The history of wine isinextricably interwoven with human history It might be as true to say that it waswith wine that civilization began for the vine takes longer to mature than any othercrop and does not produce grapes for wine making until its fourth year It is notexactly known when men first had wine but it was accepted as a gift from the godsthe Egyptians attributed it to Osiris and the Greeks to Dionysos Mesopotamia andthe Caucasian slopes were no doubt early sources of wine from where it was spreadto Egypt and Greece and then to the rest of the world (52)
Wine Main Production Stages
The main stages for wine production are schematically presented in Figure 5
Harvesting (CCP1)
Grape harvesting is a CCP comprising both physical and chemical hazardsPhysically the grapes should be sound without rotten parts otherwise oxidativeand microbial contamination can rapidly develop Therefore harvesting shouldbe conducted with the greatest possible care and an efficient disease managementsystem should be applied (5354) Pesticides play an important role in pest man-agement but they should be handled with care because they constitute chemicalhazards (55) At the time of harvest the grapes must have also reached the correctmaturity when Brix and Total Acidity (TA) levels indicate maturity of wine Sincepesticide and fungicide residues on the surface of the berries constitute chemical

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine
The occurring hazards CCPs CLs preventive and corrective measures aregiven synoptically in Table 4
DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

hazards Oliva et al (56) proposed a rapid and simple gas chromatographic methodfor their determination The maximum residue limits for pesticides in grapes andwines are provided by Codex Alimentarius (45) and Organisation International duVin (57) Finally the bulk bins used for grapes transportation should be effectivelydecontaminated to avoid any microbial infection
Stemming
Stemming includes the removal of stem leaves and grape stalks before crush-ing This procedure has several advantages because the total volume of processedproduct drops by 30 thus resulting in smaller tanks and eventually increasingthe productrsquos alcoholic content (58) However the end of fermentation and the al-cohol content of finished product depend mostly on the Brix level of initial grapesStemmers usually contain a perforated cylinder allowing berries to pass throughbut prevent the passage of stems stalks and leaves
Crushing
Crushing typically immediately follows stemming since some crushing ofthe fruit occurs during stemming The released juice is highly susceptible to oxida-tive browning and microbial contamination The most common crushing processesinvolve pressing the fruit against a perforated wall or passing the fruit through a setof rollers It is very important to avoid crushing the seeds to preclude contaminat-ing the must with seed oils the oxidation of which could produce rancid odors andconstitute an undesirable source of bitter tannins Equally important is the properhandling of product because inappropriate timing might lead to a sudden startof alcoholic fermentation and consequently to higher fermentation temperatureswhile a delay might cause microbial contamination and oxidative browning (59)
Maceration
Maceration is the breakdown of grape solids after crushing of grapes Whilemaceration is always involved in the initial stage of red wine fermentation the long-standing trend has been to limit maceration in white wine production Temperatureand duration of maceration depend on grape and wine variety Usually for white androse wines the maceration time is less than 24 h red destined for early consumptionis macerated for 3ndash5 days and red for aging is macerated from 5 days to 3 weeksFermentation usually occurs during this or at the end of maceration The amount ofthe antimicrobial to be used usually added to white musts that are most sensitive tooxidation depends on the crop health and maceration temperature Sulfur dioxidehas a distinct advantage over other antimicrobial agents because of the relativeinsensitivity of the wine yeasts to its action However it is also toxic or inhibitoryto most bacteria and yeasts (ie Candida Pichia Hansenula) at low concentrations(60) and has a rather low retention capability after the clarification step (61)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification

Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 37
HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Figure 5 Process flow diagram of wine production (355258)
Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

the wine-cork-capsule system (92) and the oxidation during filling by flushing thebottles with carbon dioxide Cork insertion may also occur under vacuum Theheadspace oxygen might affect the product quality by causing the disease ofthe ldquobottlerdquo The CL for SO2 is 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine re-spectively for As lt 02 mgL Cd lt 001 mgL Cu lt 1 mgL Pb lt 03 mgL theresidues of pesticides and insecticides in the final product are provided by OfficeInternational de la Vigne et du Vin (57)
Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine
The occurring hazards CCPs CLs preventive and corrective measures aregiven synoptically in Table 4
DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Pressing
The must is allowed to remain in the press for several minutes during whichjuice runs out under its own weight Depending on the press type (horizontalpneumatic continuous screw presses) the produced juice and wine fractions varyin terms of their physicochemical properties Combining different wine fractionsthe winemaker can influence the character of the wine However a potential hazardmight be the occurrence of oxidation reactions if there is a delay in the process(52)

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Alcoholic Fermentation (CCP2)
Alcoholic fermentation is usually carried out by strains of Saccharomycescerevisiae because this species is remarkably tolerant to high sugar ethanol andsulfur dioxide concentrations and also grows at low pH values typical for grapemust (pH 32ndash4) The culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is either part of theindigenous microflora or may be partially added to achieve a population of about105 to 106 cellsml in the must (CCP3 microbiological hazard) (62) Possiblecontamination of must with killer yeasts (a property mainly present in wild strainsof Saccharomyces but also in other yeast genera such as Candida DebaryomycesHansenula Kluyveromyces Pichia Torulopsis and Cryptococcus) may result instuck fermentation (63) Attention should be paid to the added amount of sulfurdioxide (total SO2 175 and 225 mgL for red and white wine respectively) inorder to inhibit if not to kill most of the indigenous yeast population of grapes(64) as well as acidity adjustment and to sugar and tannin concentration of thejuice
In fermentation the encountered chemical hazards consist of heavy metalspresence (As lt 02 Cd lt 001 Cu lt 1 Pb lt 03 mgL) methanol content (300 and150 mgL for red and white wine respectively) ethyl carbamate content pesticideresidues (as mentioned in the Codex Alimentarius) and residues of detergents (ab-sence) and ethylene glycol (absence) CLs may be established and monitored withspecific chemical analyses Special attention should be paid regarding the ethyl car-bamate content because there is no legislative action against it in Europe contraryto the United States (lt15 ppb and lt60 ppb for table and desert wines respec-tively) and Canada (30 ppb and 100 ppb for table and desert wines respectively)The latter is formed from reaction of alcohols with substances rich in nitrogenouscompounds mainly urea and aminoacids like arginine and citruline Its control iscarried out with gas chromatography and its prevention can be accomplished byavoiding intensive organic fertilization of vines high temperatures at the end orafter the alcoholic fermentation using yeast cultures tested for low urea and ethylcarbamate production employing urease and determining urea when long storageis intended and carried out The fermentation temperature is one of the most crucialfactors affecting yeast metabolism both directly and indirectly For white and redwines the desirable temperature varies within the range of 8ndash15C and 25ndash28Crespectively Any presence of residual sugars (ie sucrose glucose fructose) by theend of fermentation is a hazard that might cause microbial destabilization of wineThe fermentation process requires no oxygen Nevertheless traces of oxygen atthe beginning of the exponential phase of yeast growth speed up the fermentationbecause the yeast population increases and the average cell viability prolongedThe pH might affect the process only at extreme values (lt30) where the growthof fermentative yeasts is inhibited (59)
Finally the fungicide residues in the must might play an inhibitory role inthe yeastrsquos growth and undermine the sensory qualities of the wine by affectingbiosynthetic pathways (65ndash67)

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Malolactic Fermentation
Early onset and completion of malolactic fermentation allows the prompt addi-tion of sulfur dioxide storage at cool temperatures and clarification It is conductedby lactic acid bacteria (Oennococcus oenos) which directly decarboxylate L-malicacid (dicarboxylic acid) to L-lactic acid (monocarboxylic acid) This metabolismresults in acidity reduction and pH increase which are in turn related to an in-creased smoothness and drinkability of red wines but might also generate a flattaste (6869) The initial pH the sulfite concentration (70) the phenolics and theanthocyanin content (71) of juicewine strongly affect whether when and how(with what species) malolactic fermentation will occur Bacterial viruses (phages)can severely disrupt malolactic fermentation by attacking the Oennococcus oenoscells thus causing microbial destabilization of wine (72) Therefore to assure thedevelopment of malolactic fermentation winemakers inoculate the wine with oneor more strains of Oennococcus oenos (CCP3) (7374) After fermentation thewinersquos desirable total acidity is generally considered to vary within the range of055ndash085 (white and red wines toward the upper and lower end respectively)Whenever the total acidity surpasses those limits acidification and deacidificationtechniques should be in place (35)
Maturation (CCP4)
The maturation step often lasts 6ndash24 months and takes place in oak barrelsDuring maturation a range of physical and chemical interactions occurs among thebarrel the surrounding atmosphere and the maturing wine leading to transforma-tion of flavor and composition of wine (75) Here there is a CCP concerning the oakbarrel which should be fault-free and should have undergone a decontaminationtreatment The wood also must be free of pronounced or undesirable odors whichcould taint the wine (76) During the maturation period several components of thewood (most of them phenolics) are extracted to the wine tannin (7778) Since oaktannins can significantly add to the bitter taste of wine white wines are usually ma-tured in oak for shorter periods than red wines and in conditioned barrels to releaseless extractable (7980) Another CCP is related to the inhibition of the oxygen pen-etration through wood or during racking and sampling of wine Although a slightoxidation is desirable a more extensive one can cause various sensory changes suchas oxidized odor browning loss of color in red wines activation of spoilage bacte-ria and yeasts development of ferric casse and precipitation of tannins (81) Limitson free and total SO2 levels in finished wine are variable from country to country
Clarification
Clarification involves only physical means of removing the suspended par-ticulate matter Juice clarification by racking centrifugation or filtration often

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

improves the flavor development in white wine and helps the prevention of micro-bial spoilage If sufficient time is provided racking and fining can produce stablecrystal clear wines but now that early bottling in a few weeks or months after fer-mentation is employed centrifugation and filtration are used to obtain the requiredclarity level (82) Microbial contamination of wine during the above mentionedprocedures constitutes a potential problem for its stability (83) Racking is alsoeffective on pesticide residue reduction of wine (84)
Stabilization (CCP5)
The reason for stabilization is production of a permanently clear and flavorfault-free wine The most important procedures include a) tartrate stabilizationby chilling the wine to near its freezing point and then filtering or centrifugingto remove the crystals b) protein stabilization with absorption denaturation orneutralization by fining agents (bentonite) (85) c) polysaccharide removal withpectinases that hydrolyze the polymer disturbing its protective colloidal actionand filter plugging properties (82) and d) metal casse (Fe Cu) stabilization Fer-ric casse is controlled by the addition of agents (bentonites proteins) controllingthe flocculation of insoluble ferric complexes whereas wines with copper contentgreater than 05 mgL are particularly susceptible to copper casse formation (86)Legal residual copper levels in finished wines are variable and not all methods forcopper removal are approved in all countries In particular all wine industry federalregulations for the US industry can be accessed via the Bureau of Alcohol Tobaccoand Firearms (BATF) (available at httpwwwatftreasgov)
Bottling (CCP6)
Wine is bottled in glass bottles sealed with cork The bottles must pass adecontaminating step and an inspection control to assure the absence of any de-fects and the stability of the product until its consumption (87) The cork shouldbe correctly sized 6ndash7 mm bigger than the inner neck diameter to avoid any pos-sible leaks In bottling all three hazards may be encountered In particular corkmicroflora residues of heavy metals SO2 pesticides and detergents and absenceof cracks scratches and rifts in the lute represent microbiological chemical andphysical hazards Although cork is noted for its chemical inertness in contact withwine it might cause off-flavors when contaminated (8889) or when the produc-ers are not applying effective quality control (90) The CL for cork is absence ofLAB and yeast which can be assured with microbiological analysis When longstorage of wine is anticipated longer and denser corks are preferred because pro-longed exposure slowly affects the cork integrity Since on compression a plungerforces the cork down into the neck of the bottle precaution must be taken against thebuildup of microbes within the equipment (9183) the lead transfer to wine through

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine

DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Storage (CCP7)
Shipping and storage of wines at elevated temperatures can initiate rapidchanges in color and flavor of wine Direct exposure to sunlight corresponds to theeffect of warm storage temperatures Temperature affects reaction rates involvedin the maturation such as the acceleration of hydrolysis of aromatic esters andthe loss of terpene fragrances (93) Temperature can also affect the wine volumeand eventually loosen the cork seal leading to leakage oxidation and possiblymicrobial formation resulting in spoilage of bottled wine
The occurring hazards CCPs CLs preventive and corrective measures aregiven synoptically in Table 4
DISTILLED SPIRITS
Introduction
Distillation is one of the earliest examples of implementation of chemicaltechnology The process was known in China many hundred years before the birthof Christ and the first distilled beverage is believed to have been made from riceabout 800 BC The first few years AD the Arabs learned the technology and fromthem distillation was introduced to Western Europe (25) The spirit distillation in-dustry comprises a heterogeneous assortment of manufacturing processes linked byyeasts as a common function Distillery spirits are available in many forms varyingfrom pure alcohol to complex potable spirits Nevertheless they are all based on thesame biochemical and physical principles and similar manufacturing stages (18)Gin and vodka typify non-cogeneric spirits In the case of gin the spirit is flavoredwith juniper and other ldquobotanicalsrdquo while with vodka the flavor is modified byfiltration through charcoal Both distillates can be produced from the several grainsor potatoes fermentation depending essentially on consistency and reliability ofsupply and quality and on economics and on the plant available (13) Ouzo themost popular distilled spirit consumed in Greece is traditionally manufacturedfrom wine distillation Its characteristic aroma and flavor are attributed to anetholthe main constituent of anise seed (94) Brandy is a spirit distilled from wine andis produced in all viticultural regions In terms of quality the best-known brandiesare Cognac and Armagnac Both of these brandies are produced by distillation ofwhite wine from geographically defined regions of France

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 37
HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM 33
Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Incoming Raw Materials (CCP1)
Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Incoming raw materials such as alcohol aromatic seeds (anise) sucrose andglass bottles reach the corresponding department of the factory in large containersAll materials are purchased against specifications agreed with the certified supplierswho are inspected reviewed and assessed annually on basis of quality and avail-ability of their raw materials The wine used for ouzo and brandy production shouldcomply with parameters of the finished products mentioned in Table 4 Alcohol isusually delivered in batches by large tankers consisting of one two or three separatetanks Alcohol must be of at least 96 vol- alcohol free of volatile compounds thatmay affect the aroma of anise (Pimpinella anisum) having a methanol concentra-tion lower than 05 gL Qualitative and quantitative measurements of each alcoholsample are taken by gas chromatography (GC) The grains should comply withpesticide and heavy metal residues set by Codex Alimentarius and national legis-lation and they should also be mycotoxin-free as earlier mentioned in the brewingsection Flavourful seeds are sampled and undergo microbiological and chemicalanalysis for E coli B cereus Cl perfrigens and toxic metals as As Cd Hg Micro-biological control is based on prescribed instructions including visual examinationfor undesirable mold or any other bacterial development and count after incuba-tion of Escherichia coli (CCL = 103 cfug) Bacillus cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) andClostridium perfrigens (CCL = 103 cfug) Chemical control includes toxicolog-ical analyses for high concentration levels of toxic or heavy metals such as As(CCL = 10 mgkg) Cd (CCL = 1 mgkg) and Hg (CCL = 1 mgkg) as well as thecongealing and melting point of the essential oil anise (95) Other quality controltests could comprise specific gravity tests refractive index optical rotation andsolubility in alcohol (96) Anethol the main component of anise should also un-dergo chemical analysis by GC to ensure that its concentration in cis-anethol (toxicisomer) lies below 1
Cooking
This stage concerns solely the gin and vodka production from grains or pota-toes Cooking is required for maize and other cereals as well as for potatoes Batchor continuous cookers can be used and premalting is common practice Malt istraditionally used for the conversion of starch to sugars but has no role in fla-vor Continuous cooking processes can be extended to include conversion Thisinvolves cooling the cooked grain adding malt slurry and blending before passageto a conversion tube A residence time of 10 min is sufficient for amylolysis to reachequilibrium The mass is then cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel Themost widely used enzymes are heat stable α-amylase and amyloglycosidase Themost efficient use is addition of α-amylase at 80C followed by amyloglycosidaseat 55ndash60C (25) The cooking stage requires careful control of temperature andpressure The efficiency of conversion depends on concentration of grist pH andwater composition

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

Fermentation (CCP2)
Yeasts are selected in terms of their satisfactory performance in the partic-ular type of mash used The main criteria are fast fermentation rate high ethanolyield high ethanol tolerance and ability to ferment carbohydrates at relativelyhigh temperatures Overheating can be a serious problem and temperatures in thefermentation vessels must be carefully controlled An infection-free yeast is alsorequired for this stage (CCP) For this particular stage the CCPs are similar to thosementioned for wine production in Table 4
Distillation (CCP3)
Alcohol of 96 vol- deionized water and flavorful seeds (anise gum etc)wine or fermented grains are fed into the boilers at concentrations prescribed bythe formulation for large-scale ouzo production traditional production of ouzo andbrandy gin and vodka respectively Distillation is carried out within the range 63ndash80C for 10 to 12 h The percent alcohol volume of the final distillate amounts toabout 5 vv At this step a potential chemical hazard is the formation of ethyl car-bamate as mentioned in wine production The CL for ethyl carbamate is differentper product (ie 150 ppb for wine distillates 400 ppb for fruit brandies 60 ppm forrum 70 ppm for sherry) Since inadequate thermal process might result in a possi-ble microbiological hazard on-line inspection of the thermal processing conditionsand microbiological examination of the distillate are indispensable Moreover thedistillate must satisfy the prescribed standards for the incoming alcohol (97) Wereconsiderable deviations to be observed the responsible person would need to orderthe redistillation or the rejection of the batch Chocolate used for brandy produc-tion undergoes both physical control (microscopy naked eye observation) for theinspection of presence of foreign materials and microbiological examination forE coli (less than 103cfug) and B cereus (CCL = 104 cfug) (9899)
Dilution of Distillate with Alcohol Addition
The produced distillate has a high concentration of flavorful compounds and isdiluted by adding alcohol of 96 vol- thus resulting in a minimum concentrationof distilled alcohol of 40 in the final product in agreement with current legislationfor ouzo production (95)
Storage of Spirit Distillate (CCP4)
The diluted distillate is transferred into stainless steel tanks where it is storedfor about 10ndash15 days stirred continuously so that all components are adequatelydissolved The concentration of cis-anethol should be accurately controlled by

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

HPLC The CCL for cis-anethol is 1 of total anethol In case of deviation thespecific batch distillate should be recalled
Addition of Deionized Water (CCP5)
The stirred product is transferred into tanks where the final product is pre-pared Deionized water aromatic substances (anethol or juniper) and sucrose areadded in ratios according to formulation and the mixture is continuously stirredThe deionized water must comply with the standards as defined by Directive 80778where the CCL for electrical conductivity is 20 mscm and water conductivity valuesare monitored on-line
Maturation (CCP6)
Unlike the other spirits mentioned several brandies are aged for certain periodin wood barrels Aging involves several processes complex phenolic substancesas tannins are extracted from wood structural molecules are depolymerised andextracted to the distillate and reactions may occur between components of woodand distillate (100) These chemical reactions are very important for the organolep-tic quality of the final products which depends on composition of wood differenttreatments in the manufacture of oak barrels and history of the oak barrel (76101)Especially for brandy the presence of scopoletin (determined with HPLC) is con-sidered as a proof of maturation in oak barrels (101) The CL for this step is thesame as mentioned for wine in Table 4
Bottling (CCP7)
The end product is filtered and then pumped into filler machines The bot-tles to be used must be supplied by certified suppliers and undergo a washing step(sterilization) and on-line visual control for the detection of undesirable foreignmaterials particles rifts in the lute cracks or scratches If any physical defectsare detected the bottles are rejected (CCP) Once the bottles are filled they aretransferred to the sealing machine which functions by exerting air pressure ontothe heading of the bottle The sealed bottles move to the standardization machinewhere a code number is printed containing information about production time andthe serial number of the tank where the final product was prepared The code num-ber is very important and useful for traceability reasons such as possible recall ofa certain batch of bottles external audits and company internal control
Labeling
Bottle labeling is carried out with a machine that heats and spreads the adhesiveupon each label Another automatic machine presses labels on the surface of bottles

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health

The label of the beverage should be in accordance with the principles of the CodexStan 1ndash1985 (Rev 1ndash1991) of the Codex Alimentarius (102)
Bottle Packaging (CCP8)
Bottles are packaged into paperboard boxes of various sizes according to thedimensions of the bottles The encountered hazards can be of physical chemicaland microbiological origin (CCP) Visual control before packaging can assure thatno defective bottles leave the plant Chemical and microbiological control must becarried out to assure the efficiency of cleaning in place system (CIP) and to checkthe possibility of cross-contamination due to the remains of washing solutions
Storage Distribution (CCP9)
During their storage and distribution the bottles of ouzobrandy should bekept away from sunlight that might affect their organoleptic properties (103) Theoccurring hazards CCPs CLs control (preventive) and corrective measures andresponsible personnel are summarized in Table 5
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of HACCP system to the drinks industry has been of atremendous help in terms of providing the required assurance for worldwide tradeexpansion Although the alcoholic beverages are comparatively safer than otherfoods and drinks because of their high alcohol content identification of potentialhazards and resumption of preventive and corrective actions (whenever required)is of primary importance Establishment of critical control limits in conjunctionwith appropriate and effective monitoring procedures carried out by responsiblepersonnel have managed to minimize the outbreaks of incidents that are hazardousand pernicious for human health
