AB The presence of n-hexanol and n-heptanol in sulfite fusel oils has been difficult to explain as the corresponding keto acid precursors of the fusel alcohols have not been identified in fermentation solutions. 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.
