Chemists develop method to take ‘chemical fingerprint’ from gin samples
Chemists have trialled a new technique that takes a “chemical fingerprint” of gin in seconds, which could help producers futureproof their gins and conduct quality control.
A team of researchers from Heriot-Watt University worked alongside the University of Edinburgh on the project, and say their findings could help alcohol regulators detect fraudulent products.
The Heriot-Watt team consists of Drs Ruaraidh McIntosh and Dave Ellis and PhD student Kacper Krakowiak.
