Rapid development in apple wine industry has raised a growing need for effective fermentation process monitoring. The alcohol strength and titratable acidity have been used as indicators for process control and optimization in apple wine making. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to monitor and assess the process parameters during apple wine fermentation. A simple and rapid NIR spectroscopy method was developed for simultaneous determination of alcohol strength and titratable acidity in apple wine.
