In this study, the distillation fractions of cider brandy produced illegally in Lithuania using gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry method were investigated. The conditions of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were firstly optimized. A qualitative analysis of three distillation fractions was performed and estimated. The first fraction (initial) of distillation products was collected for 0.5 h, the second one (intermediate) was collected for the next 1.5 h and the third (main) fraction for the next 5 h. A method of the quantitative analysis of different volatile analytes such as acetaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, isobutanol, 1-butanol, isoamyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol in the distillation products was also developed. The concentration of ethanol decreased significantly in the main fraction in comparison with those of the initial and intermediate fractions. The concentration of 1-propanol, isobutanol, 1-butanol and isoamyl alcohol in the last fraction decreased drastically as well.
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.
