Determination of Authenticity of Sake by Carbon Isotope Ratio Analysis

Abstract: Sake samples are fractionally distilled so that the resultant ethanol concentration of the distillate is approximately 95%. Determination of 14C by liquid scintillation counting on the ethanol fraction differentiates alcohol produced by fermentation from synthetic ethanol produced from fossil fuel sources. 13C/12C stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) is capable of detecting alcohol from a cane or corn source in sake samples. This analysis also shows the addition of corn or cane sugar before or after fermentati… Show more

“…This paper discusses how the "bomb" 14 C content can be used as a tracer to make inferences concerning the age of sources of contemporary food raw materials processed by various commodity industries. Previous studies (Martin et al, 1983(Martin et al, , 1985 have employed 14 C content to identify fossil fuel-based additives to alcoholic beverages.…”
