Quantificação de contaminantes em aguardentes de cana/cachaças de alambique e de coluna

In the present study aimed to characterize and quantify four contaminants (ethyl carbamate, 2,3-butanedione, furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) present in alembic cachaça and industrial. Were collected forty-four samples of cachaça in the southern regions, the Midwest, southeast of Minas Gerais and São Paulo state, and subsequently subjected to physical, chemical and chromatographic analyzes. The physicochemical analyzes were performed according to the methodology described by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA). The ethyl carbamate, 2,3-butanedione, furfuaral and 5 hydroxymethylfurfural were characterized and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results of the ethyl carbamate analysis, it was found that both samples showed column cachaças outside the standards required by law, with the values 245.31 235.53 L-1 ug and none of the liquor samples alembic showed concentration greater than 210.0 ug L-1 , and the method is very sensitive to low limits of detection and quantification. In determining 2,3-butanedione, it was revealed that the column cachaças showed higher levels of contaminants when compared to cachaça alembic. In the quantification of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was developed and validated analytical methods employed to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with DAD detector. Samples column cachaças showed higher values than the limit established by Brazilian legislation and ranged from 7.00 to 5.63 mg / 100 ml of anhydrous alcohol over the alembic cachaça.

Caracterização e quantificação de contaminantes em aguardentes de cana

The objective of the present study was the evaluation of the presence of organic and inorganic contaminants in samples of aged cachaça from the South of the state of Minas Gerais. Furfural, methanol and copper were determined by colorimetric reactions, while the analyses of ethyl carbamate and acrolein were performed by GC/MS and HPLC, respectively. High levels of furfural and copper were obtained. All samples showed concentrations below the established by legislation for the ethyl carbamate, and for acrolein, only one sample showed higher levels. Methanol was not detected in the samples.

Processo de destilação para redução de contaminação por carbamato de etila em bebidas alcoólicas

Contamination of Brazilian sugar-cane rum by ethyl carbamate, a potentially carcinogenic substance, is considered an obstacle to export of the beverage. Copper is involved in ethyl-carbamate-formation reactions, and the replacement thereof by stainless steel in distillation equipment, with the aim of preventing the formation of said compound, results in a beverage of poor sensory quality owing to the presence of dimethyl sulphide. A reduction in the concentration of sulphurated compounds in the final product may be achieved by the placing of a copper device (Patent No. 8206688) inside the dome of a stainless-steel alembic. It is therefore appropriate to verify the efficiency of using other forms of catalysts that, in addition to reducing ethyl-carbamate levels, are able, likewise, to trigger other catalytic actions that allow the production of a distillate of good sensory quality. Silver is the noble metal most used in industry and, on account of the catalytic properties thereof, it is ideal for use as a catalyst in oxidation reactions. The subject matter of the present invention comprises a method involving the use of silver in the distillation of alcoholic beverages, such as sugar-cane rum, which reduces ethyl-carbamate contamination of the end-product.

Quantificação de carbamato de etila em vinhos

The ethyl carbamate is a compound present in most foods yeast-distillates; due to its carcinogenic potential, national legislation has established a limit of 0.150 µg / mL for spirits, so the values above the same, pose a threat to both public health as well for the economic sector by preventing the export of these products. The aim of this work is to provide the optimization of an analytical method employing the technique of gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (FID) to determine the concentration levels of ethyl carbamate in some samples of wine. The use of ethyl acetate as solvent employed in the extraction, the ethyl carbamate present in wine samples proved to be suitable, where Recoveries were between 97.6 to 103.3% (m / m), with a standard deviation for between 0.56 to 3.50%. The concentrations of ethyl carbamate in particular wine samples vary between 3.22 µg / ml and 3.80 µg / mL, with a mean of 3.48 µg / mL. These valuesare all above the limit set by law. Thus, the results indicate the need for changes in the process of wine production, in order to control the levels of the substance
