A review on detection of ethanol in blood, determination of breath ethanol, pharmacokinetics of ethanol, and calculations of the ethanol concentration has been published (378). A study of the effectiveness of the built-in acetone correction procedure, in measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC), using the Intoxilyzer 5000C has been reported (379).…”

“…This may represent another method of performing alcohol congener analysis (ACA) to assist investigations into the source of alcohol in routine forensic casework and in after-drinking (or hip-flask) defence cases where the feasibility of claimed alcohol consumption prior and/or subsequent to a motor vehicle incident is in question [25][26][27][28].…”

“…A possible caveat is that N-propanol and 1-butanol may come from ante-mortem intake of alcoholic beverages [ 30 , 31 ]. Moreover, presence of fluoride ions in the blood inhibits the in vitro neoformation of ethanol [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Microbial neoformation of volatiles: implications for the estimation of post-mortem interval in decomposed human remains in an indoor setting

The objective of this study was to determine if a relationship between microbial neoformation of volatiles and the post-mortem interval (PMI) exists, and if the volatiles could be used as a tool to improve the precision of PMI estimation in decomposed human remains found in an indoor setting. Chromatograms from alcohol analysis (femoral vein blood) of 412 cases were retrospectively assessed for the presence of ethanol, N-propanol, 1-butanol, and acetaldehyde. The most common finding was acetaldehyde (83% of the cases), followed by ethanol (37%), N-propanol (21%), and 1-butanol (4%). A direct link between the volatiles and the PMI or the degree of decomposition was not observed. However, the decomposition had progressed faster in cases with microbial neoformation than in cases without signs of neoformation. Microbial neoformation may therefore act as an indicator of the decomposition rate within the early decomposition to bloating stages. This may be used in PMI estimation based on the total body score (TBS) and accumulated degree days (ADD) model, to potentially improve the model’s precision.
