Abstract: Analyzers, methods and systems for providing a digital fingerprint or signature for assessing process information and improving process operations using such information. In particular, such analyzers, methods and systems use a unique analysis procedure for identifying, for example, one or more constituents of an intermediate and/or a product-based process stream and providing process operating parameters specific to such one or more constituents. The analyzers, methods and systems may additionally provide dilutions or concentrations of such constituents to improve the understanding of the process operation and how such process operation should be adjusted in response.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to acidic disinfecting and/or cleaning compositions that comprise an acid, a solvent, a nonionic surfactant and optionally one or more additives. The disclosed compositions can be used to clean and/or disinfect a wide variety of products (such as bottles) in the food, dairy, beverage, brewery, and soft drink industries.
