wine.sugar: Sugar adulteration in wine production

In Flury: Data Sets from Flury, 1997

Description

Chemical composition of N=344 commercial samples of concentrated grape must used in wine production. The four variables recorded are considered for discovering adulteration with added sugar from non-grape plants. In unadulterated wines, myoinositol and D/H(I) should follow normal distributions.

Usage

data(wine.sugar)

Format

A data frame with 344 observations on the following 4 variables.

Myo

Myo-inositol mg/kg sugar

Scyllo

Scylloinositol mg/kg sugar

DH.I

D/H(I) (ppm)

DH.II

D/H(II) (ppm)
