Detection of Allergens in Alcohol and Beverages

It is estimated that millions of people are allergic to certain ingredients in alcoholic beverages. Drinking alcohol usually causes various reactions, including dilated blood vessels, redness of the skin, and swelling of the nasal passages. In cases where such allergies exist, it is usually a component of the alcohol (such as yeast or sulfur dioxide) that triggers the reaction rather than the alcohol itself. In addition, sulfites, eggs, grapes, corn, molds, and pesticides used to preserve or enhance the product can potentially become present in alcohol as part of the manufacturing process. Although non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks and vitamin water do not contain any common food allergens, these beverages may contain a variety of herbs, vitamins, and caffeine that can trigger allergic reactions.
