Patent number: 11679907Abstract: In the alcohol market or in the liquor industries, it is common to find that the packaging activity is carried out in glass bottles and on some occasions in PET (POLYETHYLENE TEREPHALATE) and PP (POLYPROPYLENE) type containers. In the case of these latter packages, there are problems of conservation of quality, aroma and flavor, since they give off particles because they are not completely resistant to alcohol. Now, glass bottles are the most used since thanks to their 10 barrier property they preserve the flavor and quality of these kinds of drinks for longer, maintaining the level of alcohol, aroma and flavor from bottling but having serious transport and packaging problems.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Inventors: John Alexander Botero, Lukas Robledo Martinez
