STUDY REGARDING CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF “PALINCA” PLUM DISITILATE FROM CODRU COUNTRY REGION

Abstract

The research was carried out in the Country Codru Region from limit between Maramureș and Satu Mare counties. There was analysed 8 samples of distillates (palinca) from 3 villages Asuaju de Jos. Băița de sub Codru and Ardusat. All samples were collected directed from traditional distillery. Fizico-Chemcial analyses followed alcohol concentration; relative density; total acidity; sulphur dioxid content. methanol and furfurole and total content in Ca. Mg. Fe. Zn. Cu. Ni. Co. K. Cd and Na. Results concluded that traditional “palinca” correspond with legislation regarding chemical composition. methanol was identified in one sample and furfurol was absent in all the samples. concentration in minerals was similar at all the samples and depends by the quality of the water used in technological process.
