Determination of the quantitative content of volatile components in ethanol-containing products

https://doi.org/10.29235/1561-8331-2024-60-4-340-346

Abstract

A method is proposed for correctly determining the quantitative content of volatile components, including ethyl alcohol, in alcohol-containing products. The method is based on the use of sample density measurement data and chromatographic data for determining the quantitative content of volatile compounds. It is shown that in a number of cases the difference between the values of the volumetric content of ethyl alcohol in alcoholic products, calculated according to the interstate standard GOST 3639 and according to the proposed method, exceeds by several times the declared measurement error limit of 0.1 % by volume. The results obtained can be used to update state, interstate and international standards for quality control and safety of alcoholic and alcohol-containing products.
