This study presents the cytogenetic characterization by karyotyping and a determination of the DNA content by flow cytometry of Agave parviflora subsp. flexiflora from Bacadehuachi to Nacori Town, Sonora, Mexico. The analyzed plants were diploids (2n = 2x = 60) The cytotype observed in wild adult... Leer +

Samples obtained during 8 stages of Tequila's production process were analyzed to follow generation and/or disappearance of minor volatile compounds. Volatile compounds were extracted with the liquid-liquid batch extraction method and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with a flame... Leer +

Silver Tequila 100% agave was aged in new oak barrels from four French regions. The evolution of physicochemical parameters regulated by Official Mexican Standard, as well as color, turbidity, total acidity and pH were assayed during 34 weeks of maturation. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed... Leer +

Bacanora is an artisanal beverage distilled from agave, which is manufactured on a small scale in the Sonora state, México. The aim of this study was to identify the major volatile compounds in 77 artisanal Bacanora beverages by gas chromatography, to determine the samples that comply with the... Leer +

Extraction performance of the liquid–liquid batch (LLB) and continuous extraction, as well as simultaneous distillation–extraction were evaluated in order to analyze volatile compounds in tequila. Initially, the best extraction conditions were obtained for each method using tequila samples.... Leer +

An ion-exchange resin was employed to remove copper from tequila. Elemental analysis, batch and column copper uptake measurements were performed to assess the extent of metal removal; FTIR and XPS were employed to elucidate the copper complexes formed on the surface of resin; GC was used to...
