(Toulouse, France – Charlotte, North Carolina, USA – June 28, 2018) -- Alpha MOS, the leading manufacturer of electronic instruments for sensory analysis, announced today that they have successfully completed the final phase of testing on Coca-Cola beverages in Charlotte, North Carolina, using their Heracles QA Solution technology.

（法国图卢兹市-美国北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市-2018年6月28日）--Alpha MOS，作为一家领先的电子感官分析仪器制造商，于今天正式宣布，通过使用其生产的Heracles QA，已成功完成在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市可口可乐饮料测试的最后阶段。

The objectives of the testing were to determine the ability and repeatability of the Heracles QA Solution to detect the presence of “off-flavors” used by Coke Consolidated for beverage Quality Assurance in the production facilities. The purpose of the testing is to demonstrate that the Heracles QA Solution meets and exceeds all the requirements of the Coca-Cola Manufacturing Sensory Program and is compliant with all Coca-Cola requirements for product quality and production, in terms of performance and production usability. 

测试目标是要确定Heracles QA在检测可口可乐生产设备的“异味”方面的功能及可重复性，确保其饮料品质。测试目的是为了证明Heracles QA解决方案不仅能满足可口可乐生产感官项目提出的所有要求和在性能和生产可用性方面符合可口可乐对产品质量和生产的所有要求，并且超过预期设想。

 “The results and performances of our Heracles QA are in line with our expectations and above our customer expectations. This accomplishment represents the collective work completed by our teams in both France and North America, as well as considerable support of our client, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated,” said Herve Martin, CEO of Alpha MOS.

“Heracles QA的测试结果及性能不但达到我们的设想，而且超出了客户的预期。这一成就归功于Alpha MOS法国及北美团队亲密无间的合作，也离不开我们的客户可口可乐罐装联合公司的鼎力支持。”Alpha MOS的首席执行官Herve Martin说道。

 “We are very pleased with the results achieved with the Alpha MOS solution,” said Cloeann Durham, Vice President, Quality Assurance at Coca-Cola Consolidated. “Our company has experienced significant growth over the last several years. This new, innovative technology will allow Coke Consolidated to more efficiently maintain and deliver the highest beverage quality standards to customers and consumers throughout our expanded franchise territory.” 

“我们对Alpha MOS提供的感官解决方案成果非常满意，” 可口可乐罐装联合公司质量保证部门副总Cloeann Durham说道。“在过去的几年里，我们公司不断壮大。通过使用这一创新技术，可口可乐罐装联合公司将不断地向我们特许经营范围内的所有客户和消费者持续提供高质量标准的饮料。

 “Sensory Analysis is a human panel test used by the Food and Beverage Industry to ensure that their products meet a high-quality standard.  In this case, we are using lab instrumentation to determine if the beverage meets a certain taste profile, thus eliminating the potential for human error and the associated subjectivity of the results,” added Mr. Martin.

“感官分析是一种应用于食品饮料行业的人体感官评测，以确保产品达到高质量标准。在这种情况下，我们使用实验室仪器来判定饮料是否符合某种特定口味，从而消除人为错误的可能性和人为结果的主观性。”马丁先生补充说道。
