In this work, the study and comparison of the authentication of raicilla and tequila were investigated, using linear voltammetry, in which a copper electrode was used as a working electrode. It was found that for both alcoholic beverages the oxidation potentials are at a potential of -0.12 to -0.8 V and from -0.19 to -0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for tequila and raicilla correspondingly. The oxidation potentials found were explained in terms of the oxidation of the alcohols present in these beverages on the copper electrode, described in terms of the Fleischmann mechanism. On the other hand, the peak current in the tequila and the raicilla was analyzed according to the classification. In this sense, it was found that despite being of the same type of classification but of a different brand of tequila or raicilla, the peak current was different. This was explained in terms of the difference found during the production process and the agave used in each brand of tequila or raicilla.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
