Tequila time!
Chemists help assure quality of popular Mexican beverage. Researchers in Mexico and Germany have devised a quality assurance procedure that can distinguish between the real thing and faux tequila manufactured by fraudulent sources or using non-genuine starting materials. The findings provide a new shot of QC to the billion-dollar tequila market. The team used ion and gas chromatography together with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), to obtain the chemical fingerprints of genuine tequila. These fingerprints then allow them to identify adulterated or mixed-tequila that is made with processed sugar rather than the Agave plant. The researchers explain that combining spectroscopic and chromatographic methods provides a more accurate identification than previous attempts that focused on other chemicals or isotopic analysis. The same test works with other Agave spirits including including mezcal, sotol and bacanora.
