On analysis of the sulfite waste liquor utilized as raw material in sulfite spirit production, it has been found that the higher straight-chain aldehydes, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, and octanal, appear in the sulfite waste liquor in concentrations that are sufficiently large to explain the formation of the corresponding alcohols.}, issn = {0002-9254}, URL = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/22/3/118}, eprint = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/22/3/118.full.pdf}, journal = {American Journal of Enology and Viticulture} }
