Abstract

The significance of accurate determination of ethanol content in hydrogel formulations was accentuated during COVID-19 pandemic coinciding with the heightened demand for sanitizing agents. The present article proposes three robust methodologies for this purpose: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and Densitometry with matrix effect correction by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR). All three methods demonstrated outstanding linearity (R² ≥ 0.99) and minimal errors (< 1.7%), offering simplicity and operational efficiency. FTIR and Raman, being non-destructive and requiring minimal preparation, enable practical on-site analysis capabilities, underscoring the potential of the spectroscopic methods to expedite health investigations and inspections, empowering on-site ethanol determination, and relieving the burden on official laboratories. Additionally, the densitometry with NIR-based approach showcased superior accuracy and precision compared to spectroscopic methods, meeting validation criteria while offering operational advantages over the costly official distillation-based method. Therefore, it stands as a reliable and reproducible technique for comprehensive health and criminal compliance assessments, making it a compelling alternative for both industry and official laboratories.

推进水凝胶中乙醇含量的测定：用于卫生和刑事检查的非破坏性操作方法。

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，随着对消毒剂需求的增加，准确测定水凝胶配方中乙醇含量的重要性更加突出。本文为此提出了三种可靠的方法：傅立叶变换红外光谱法（FTIR）、拉曼光谱法和通过近红外光谱法（NIR）进行基质效应校正的密度测量法。所有这三种方法都表现出卓越的线性（R2 ≥ 0.99）和最小的误差（R2 ≥ 0.99）。
