Highly improved simultaneous herbicides determination in water samples by differential pulse voltammetry using boron-doped diamond electrode and solid phase extraction on cross-linked poly(vinylimidazole)

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the simultaneous determination of multiresidues of diuron (DI), 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D) and tebuthiuron (TB) using a cathodically pretreated boron-doped diamond electrode (BDDE) associated with solid phase extraction was developed.

The Role of Yeast and Lactic Acid Bacteria in the Production of Fermented Beverages in South America

TL;DR: Genetic and physiological analyses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from cachaça have been shown to present interesting traits for beer production, such as flocculation and production of aroma compounds, fundamental to high-quality beer.

Ethyl Carbamate Formation Regulated by Lactic Acid Bacteria and Nonconventional Yeasts in Solid-State Fermentation of Chinese Moutai-Flavor Liquor

TL;DR: Results indicate that EC precursor levels in the solid-state fermentation can be controlled using lactic acid bacteria and nonconventional yeasts and unusual urea degradation pathways (urea carboxylase, allophanate hydrolase, and ATP-independent urease) were identified.

Cyanate as an Active Precursor of Ethyl Carbamate Formation in Sugar Cane Spirit.

TL;DR: The thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of ethyl carbamate (EC) formation through the reaction between cyanate and ethanol were investigated and the isocyanic acid (HNCO) is the active EC precursor and the calculated ΔG1, ΔH1, and ΔS1(⧧) values are in very good agreement with the experimental ones.

Chemical Mechanisms of Whiskey Maturation

TL;DR: This paper showed that the formation of acetaldehyde, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate originates in the distillate, while ethanol lignin, aromatic aldehydes, sugars and some acetic acids are reaction products of the distillation and wood components.

Influence of the distillation processes from Rio de Janeiro in the ethyl carbamate formation in Brazilian sugar cane spirits

TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained through GC-MS, using selective monitoring of ions with m/z 62 and 74, showed that approximately 45% of the products and raw materials are above the maximum allowed value of 150μg/l, with an EC average value of 160.
