Abstract

The presence of methyl alcohol in alcohol containing products is considered to be the result of an illegal, prohibited practice of the producer by using denaturated alcohol (perhaps purified in some way) in stead of pure ethyl alcohol, for which the prescribed taxes have been paid. It is shown that methyl alcohol or formaldehyde can be formed in alcoholic perfumes during long storage. It is shown that it is unreasonable to conclude from the presence of methyl alcohol in small amounts, that denaturated alcohol has been used in the manufacturing process. It is necessary that the allowable percentage of methyl alcohol in products ready for sale, should be fixed, for instance, at 0.1 % methyl alcohol.
