Evaluation of new high-capacity sorptive extraction (HiSorb™) phases for flavor profiling of hard seltzers

19 Jan 2026

In 2019, hard seltzers, a carbonated, low calorie alcoholic drink, grew in popularity in the US beverage market. Companies that produce hard seltzers need to ensure the quality of their products is maintained to stay ahead in the market and protect brand reputation.

Discover how the HiSorb™ probe can be used to determine the optimal phase type for flavor profiling hard seltzers. Compared against the traditional single-phase phase polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), learn how HiSorb sorptive extraction provides high sensitivity and efficiency in the detection of a hard seltzer’s flavor components, and how it can be full automated on the Centri platform.
