HS-GC-FID: Survey of Ethanol Content in Fermented Food and Drink

Introduction

The sale of alcoholic beverages is regulated and taxed differently than non-alcoholic ones. Other food products, such as fruits and sauces, may contain alcohol as well from natural fermentation.

This application note will expand upon the tried-and-true, high-throughput ethanol in food method first developed at PerkinElmer, analyzing for alcohol content in a variety of commercially available beverages and foods, including fruit juice, soy sauce, and kombucha.
