Abstract
Recently, different substances designated for local anesthesia or as substances harmful to health have had a boom in their illegal use to perpetrate crimes associated with adulterated beverages. These substances are colorless and odorless liquids, almost imperceptible to the taste. A sensing system based on a double-aperture common-path interferometer for rapid detection of different types of adulteration (methanol and ethanol) added in different types of alcoholic beverages (brandy and rum) is proposed. The method for determining the adulteration degree is based on measurement of variations on the interference free spectral range from a one-shot interferogram.
