Abstract
Higher fatty esters and oak lactones are the main components of white rum aroma and furthermore they have an important sensorial impact in these distilled alcoholic beverages A method for analyzing these volatile compounds was validated It involves a separation and concentration step using headspace solidphase microextraction HSSPME and determination by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection The method showed a good withinday RSD 3 and betweenday precision RSD 5 The calibration curves were linear at the tested ranges R 099 and the limits of detection and quantification were 0001–0018 and 0003–0054 mg L−1 12 v/v alcohol respectively Good recoveries were obtained 986–1003 The method is suitable for the quality control of higher fatty esters and oak lactones in white rums
