- Abstract
This study sought to evaluate the influence of natural light on the concentration of ethyl carbamate (EC) in cachaças aged in wooden barrels and stored in glass bottles for a period of 6 months. The quantification of EC was achieved by HPLC using a fluorescence detector after previous derivation of the samples and standards with 9-xanthydrol. All of the samples presented an EC concentration below the limit established by Brazilian legislation. The highest concentration found was 79.70 µg L−1. As for the influence of light and storage period, 70% of the samples exhibited an influence of these parameters. Copyright © 2015 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
