Samenvatting
Ethanol formation was observed after administration of yeast to hyperglycaemic human urine samples and defibrinated porcine blood at various temperatures, glucose concentrations and at various amounts of yeast added to the sample. According to the results obtained the general assumption that urine can be used for alcohol determination any time has to be considered with reservations since in urine samples from diabetes patients considerable amounts of ethanol due to yeast fermentation can be found.
