The main organic compounds: aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, alcohols and esters, were determined through High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and High Resolution Gas Cromatography (HRGC). The spirits produced in copper distillers exhibit higher contents of aldehydes with respect to the ones produced in stainless steel. The inverse is true with respect to the higher alcohol and ester contents. No significant variation has been observed for the carboxylic acids.735-739porBrazilian sugar cane spiritschromatographydistillersvolatilesArtigo10.1590/S0100-40421998000600013S0100-40421998000600013Acesso abertoS0100-40421998000600013.pdf
