A team of researchers from Heriot-Watt University worked alongside the University of Edinburgh on the project, and say their findings could help alcohol regulators detect fraudulent products
Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have trialled a new technique that "fingerprints" the chemical compounds in gin, a discovery that could provide greater quality guarantees for consumers buying the spirit.
A new technique that takes a chemical fingerprint of gin in seconds could hold 'huge potential' for the industry: allowing producers to create better and more consistent gins; enable regulators to detect fraudulent products; and even help create a stronger definition of what a gin is.
