In-Process Quality Control

Monitor weighing, batching, and mixing to ensure correct addition of fruit, sugars, and stabilizers per the approved Bill of Materials (BOM). Track critical processing parameters like pasteurization temperatures and hold times to maintain food safety standards. Conduct line patrols, ensuring personnel and equipment adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Execute hourly physicochemical tests including Brix, pH, and viscosity to guarantee consistency with client specifications. Perform daily calibration of quality equipment, including refractometers and pH meters, to ensure data accuracy. Monitor processing and cleaning water quality to prevent product contamination. Conduct sensory evaluations on 'White Base' or standalone prep to assess taste, aroma, and color against 'Gold Standard' references. Inspect product for fruit definition, piece size, and texture to ensure physical integrity remains intact during processing. Verify aseptic container integrity and label accuracy, including batch codes and expiry dates, for 100% traceability. Review batch data and authorize product release to the warehouse once all quality specifications are met. Identify process deviations immediately, placing non-conforming batches on 'Hold' and initiating Root Cause Analysis (RCAs). Complete batch records and inspection reports in real-time, ensuring documentation complies with food safety standards. Collect and catalogue reference samples from every batch for shelf-life monitoring and comparative analysis
