Abstract
The quality control of Baijiu is necessary including ethanol content. In this work, red-emitted carbon quantum dots based on p-phenylenediamine (PPD-CQDs) were fabricated for accurate determination of ethanol in Baijiu. The good linear response of PPD-CQDs to ethanol-water solution (E-Ws; 20-80vol%) offered the potential for ethanol determination in practice. However, further application of this procedure to Baijiu resulted in a certain deviation. After excluding interference from most of the ingredients involved, a simple pH correction on Baijiu made application of the process practicable. The red-emission of PPD-CQDs supported analysis of Baijiu with different flavors and ethanol monitoring. Therefore, a quick-response fluorescence method was established for Baijiu ethanol determination; this method can be applied to the many varieties of Chinese Baijiu available and also has potential for use in other alcoholic beverages.
