Composition of Higher Alcohols in Different Alcoholic Beverages and Their Metabolic Dynamics in Bama Pigs.

ABSTRACT: The unique flavour contribution of higher alcohols in alcoholic beverages has received growing attention; however, there is a dearth of information on their in vivo metabolic kinetics. In this study, the composition and content of higher alcohols in different alcoholic beverages from Chinese Baijiu and Lujiu were studied via in vivo analysis using Bama pigs to elucidate the mechanisms for intoxication of alcohol in vitro and in drinkers. Direct injection combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to accurately quantify a total of 14 higher alcohols in five alcoholic beverages. Based on the external standard method, a total content of 289.37-938.33 mg/L was detected, mainly 1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-butanol. T
