Determination of the aromatic alcohols guaiacol, tryptophol, 4-ethyl guaiacol, 4-vinyl guaiacol, eugenol, tyrosol, 4-ethylphenol, 2-phenylethanol in beer
The method is suitable for beer brewed to any original gravity or to any alcohol content.
The aromatic alcohols in beer are isolated using solid-phase extraction and are detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Determination of 4-vinylguaiacol and 4-vinylphenol in beer
The method is suitable for beer brewed to all ranges of original gravity and alcohol content.
Analysis was performed using isocratic HPLC on a Spherisorb separation column with UV detection at 260 nm.
