Ethyl carbamate (EC), a known genotoxic carcinogen, was studied in 25 brands of pot still cachaças from 19 distilleries in Paraíba State, Brazil. A concentration range of 55–700 µg/l was found with most brands (70%) exceeding the... more
While in Europe vodka is mainly derived from potatoes or cereals, a large proportion of Brazilian vodka is likely obtained from sugarcane, which contains ethyl carbamate (EC) precursors. EC, in addition to several other contaminants and... more
Alcoholic strength, volatile acidity, acetaldehyde, methanol, ethyl acetate, higher alcohols (n-propanol, isobutanol, and amyl alcohols), ethyl carbamate, and copper were investigated in 7 brands of blended whiskies produced and bottled... more
In 2009, we reported an association between low levels of ethyl carbamate (EC) in pot still cachaças from Paraíba State, Brazil, and distillation in copper pot stills equipped with cooled columns. To strengthen these observations, we... more
Ethyl carbamate (EC, urethane, C2H5OCONH2) is a genotoxic carcinogen and is regularly found in fermented food products including alcoholic beverages. In this study, the rapid method of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in... more
It was studied that ornithine transcarbamoylase played important roles in ethyl carbamate (EC) formation. Ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTCase) can degrade citrulline, a precursor of EC, through arginine deiminase pathway. Therefore, they... more
Burukutu was produced using three varieties of sorghum-CSR-02, S-17 and S-44. The ethyl carbamate (EC) content of the burukutu was studied using Response Surface Methodology. A three-level three-factorial Box-Behnken experimental design... more
