A new electromagnetic induction technology promises to make beer and other beverages taste better and have a longer shelf life. Developed by Purdue University-affiliated startup Induction Food Systems (IFS), the new technique that applies precise heating to food processing has recently completed its major first round of testing ahead of a market launch later this year. The new IFS process replaces steam for processing beer, juice, water, and similar products by using an on-demand system based on electromagnetic induction. In other words, an external coil connected to a solid-state electronics pack generates high-frequency radio waves that heat an induction element embedded in a section of pipe. This, in turn, heats the beer or other product as it passes through the pipe.
