Method "Ethanol as Internal Standard"

Analysis of Whiskey

Calibration

    The description of the gas chromatograph calibration process can be found here.

Analysis

  • Inject test sample of whiskey at least three times.
  • Process sample chromatograms.
  • Using equation below, calculate the concentration of each congener in the samples.
  • As a result of calculations, the values ​​of the concentrations of analytes in the dimension mg/L AA.
