Abstract:Acetaldehyde, methanol, and furfural are potentially toxic compounds that can be found in fruit-distilled spirits, such as pisco. It is important to determine their behavior during distillation to separate them and minimize their content in the product because its content in pisco is limited according to the Pisco DO Regulation to methanol, 60; acetaldehyde, 100, and furfural, 5 mg/ 100 cc of anhydrous alcohol. For this purpose, pisco was produced using the traditional method (natural fermentation and batch di… Show more
