Abstract
In this paper, the analysis of ethanol in moonshine by gas-chromatography method is carried out. The analyzed product was prepared according to a classic recipe: sugar, yeast and water. For the analysis, two samples were taken: the raw alcohol (one stage of distillation) and the final product (two stages of distillation). It is established that if the correct technological process is followed (process was carried out with double distillation), we can obtain a high-quality product. The concentration of harmful components that represent fusel oil is negligible. This study is relevant in our time. It helps to identify counterfeit and defective batches of alcoholic beverages.
