Abstract

This article contains research done by upper secondary students. It examines essential components, mainly terpenic compounds of some aromatic plants, and then tries to identify these compounds in the alcoholic drink Aromes del Montserrat. Students used several extraction techniques and the analyses were done by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GS-MS). Chemical research led them to delve into the historical side, by asking the villagers of Esparreguera about the origins of the drink.
