    Application of Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy for the Measurement of Several Quality Parameters of Alcoholic Beverages, Wine and Raki
    (Springer Verlag, 2012) Öztürk, Burcu; Yücesoy, Dila; Özen, Banu
    Mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which is a rapid and relatively small amount of waste producing technique, was used to predict several quality parameters of two types of alcoholic beverages, wine and raki. Mid-infrared spectra of red, rose and white wines and a traditional aniseed alcoholic beverage, raki were collected and relations were established between measured chemical parameters (pH, brix, total phenol content, anthocyanin content, titratable acidity, sugar content, electrical conductivity and some colour parameters) of these beverages and their infrared spectra using chemometric techniques. Partial least square regression provided excellent prediction of total phenol (R 2 = 0. 97) and anthocyanin contents (R 2 = 0. 98) of wine samples and a good prediction of pH (R 2 = 0. 9), brix (R 2 = 0. 92) and colour intensity (R 2 = 0. 93) values were obtained. Brix, total phenol and sugar content of raki samples were also estimated very successfully (R 2 = 0. 99) for raki and good prediction was obtained with pH value. Mid-IR spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics could be a promising technique for determination of several quality parameters of alcoholic beverages simultaneously and rapidly.

    Authentication of a Turkish Traditional Aniseed Flavoured Distilled Spirit, Raki
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Yüceesoy, Dila; Özen, Banu
    Consumption of traditional aniseed alcoholic beverage, raki, adulterated with methanol results in deaths, therefore, its detection is an important issue. In this study, mid-infrared spectra of pure and methanol adulterated (0.5-10% (vol/vol)) raki samples were collected with an attenuated total reflectance attachment of a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer. Principal component analysis was used to discriminate pure and adulterated raki samples, then, a partial least square model was constructed to determine the adulterant methanol content in raki using mid-IR spectral data. A minimum threshold level of 0.5% methanol in raki samples was successfully detected. A good prediction model for determination of methanol adulteration ratio in raki samples was also constructed (R2 = 0.98 and RPD = 8.35).
