| Abstract: | A way of direct determination of volatile compounds in spirit drinks by gas chromatography is proposed by using ethanol as internal standard in gas chromatographic analysis of volatile compounds in spirit drinks for routine tests. This method provides determination of volatile compound concentrations in spirit drinks expressed directly in milligrams per liter of absolute alcohol without measuring the alcohol content of the analyzed sample. Theoretical background of the method shows the opportunity to use it in any tested laboratories all over the world and to ascertain in its efficiency and simplicity. The method was approved in control laboratories of Wine and Distillery Plant 'Chashniki' (Belarus) and Branch of Joint Stock Company 'Rosspirtprom' Wine and Distillery Plant 'Cheboksary' (Russia). The experimental results of method validation in the Laboratory of Analytical Research from Research Institute for Nuclear Problems of Belarusian State University are presented |
