See, as if you were there, the ACER, Division Inspection professionals at work. These maple syrup specialists are checking and tasting about 300,000 maple syrup samples from as many barrels. From now on, a new tool allows them to speed up the process, this is the SprectrAcer. This device, used on a small scale for a few years, uses the technique of interpreting the interaction between a light beam and a maple syrup sample to detect certain flavor defects.
