Abstract Sake samples are fractionally distilled so that the resultant ethanol concentration of the distillate is approximately 95%. Determination of 14C by liquid scintillation counting on the ethanol fraction differentiates alcohol produced by fermentation from synthetic ethanol produced from fossil fuel sources. 13C/12C stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) is capable of detecting alcohol from a cane or corn source in sake samples. This analysis also shows the addition of corn or cane sugar before or after fermentation of the sake.
