Microbial Evaluation of High-grade Ethanol from Sake Breweries
Of nine samples from high-grade ethanol products sold by sake breweries, seven (77.8%) were contaminated with 5―44 colony forming units (cfu) of bacteria per 100 mL. The most common bacteria detected were Bacillus species and Paenibacillus species. No microbial contamination was observed in two samples (22.2%) from high-grade ethanol products nor in all three (100%) hospital-grade disinfectants (76.9―81.4 vol% ethanol). We conclude that although high-grade ethanol produced by sake breweries poses no problem as a hand sanitizer, it is unadvisable to use it for other purposes such as for sanitizing vials and infusion apparatus.
