DIFFERENTIATION OF PEATED AND UNPEATED DISTILLING MALT BY G.L.C. ANALYSIS

Abstract

Difficulty may occur in trying to distinguish unpeated malt from lightly peated malt by colourimetric analytical methods. This paper outlines a prospective method using gas chromatography following a selective extraction of volatiles from the malt. This method is discussed in relation to previous published methods used in the identification of peated export malts. 1979 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
