Crowder Laboratory

Analysis of beer and distilled spirits - We have started a new project in which we are using GC-MS/MS, LC-MS, NMR, and FT-ICR MS to characterize alcoholic beverages in an effort to determine the components in these beverages. The goal is to develop a library of chemical fingerprints of these beverages to be used to authenticate valuable products and to better understand the differences between the brands of these beverages. We completed a project in collaboration with Buffalo Trace and MinedXAI to characterize all 192 barrels in the Single Oak Project (https://www.singleoakproject.com).
