Outline of Final Research Achievements

Generally, aerobic oxidation of alcohol is difficult under mild conditions. However, during the aging process of distilled liquor, ethanol is oxidized to acetaldehyde under normal pressure and ambient temperature. In the brewage, acetaldehyde is probably produced through bioprocess, yet the distilled liquor does not contain yeast, therefore, oxidation mechanism in distilled liquor is unclear. Furthermore, there are many reaction factors because of multiphase conditions. In this study, we examined possible factors to elucidate the mechanism of aerobic alcohol oxidation in barrel.
