RESUMO
This paper describes the monitoring of ethyl carbamate concentration in sugar cane spirit from industrial distilleries in Brazil. In total, 18 distilleries from Minas Gerais and São Paulo states were evaluated, with, a total of 336 samples from August 2017 to August 2019. The ethyl carbamate was analyzed using a previously validated mass spectrometric method. Analytical curves presented coefficient of determination (R2) values higher than 0.99, and quality control samples showed a relative standard deviation (RSD) below 9%. Concentrations of ethyl carbamate ranged from not detected to 1608 µg L-1, with mean values of 294.2, 280.7 and 230.0 µg L-1 in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. On average, 46, 44 and 69% of samples presented levels of ethyl carbamate below 210 µg L-1. A variety of factors may have led to distillery A having a low level (ca. 115 µg L-1) of ethyl carbamate, including controlled temperature, yeast strain, post-harvesting quality, sugar cane variety choice, and the treatment process on the sugar cane juice, which goes towards the addition of Ca(OH)2, heating and freezing. These results showed the importance of internal quality control, and that sugar cane juice treatment may be a way to decrease ethyl carbamate in the distilleries.
