The aim of the research is to evaluate 50 different brands of alcoholic beverages produced by local brewers in Kerala to discover whether adulterants were present and in what amounts. All 50 samples were submitted to chemical examination, and none of them returned positive results, suggesting that the alcohol samples are free of adulteration. The physical structure of the beverage samples was revealed by functional measures such as color and odor examination, while microscopic examination of samples revealed the presence of sediments when analyzed under a microscope, showing that the alcoholic beverage samples had not been sufficiently purified. An ultra-violate (UV) visible spectrometer was used in the instrumentation process to verify the existence or absence of furfural and to estimate its amount in the necessary sample. To assess furfural concentrations, different chemical tests may be conducted, but in this study, a UV-Visible spectrometer was selected because it is highly sensitive and provides exact concentrations of the substance under examination. Although, various studies have been done in this field throughout previous decade but there is huge possibility of further research in this sector in future.
