Abstract

Magnetic field extremely low frequency (60 Hz) and density 60, 70 and 80 Gauss was applied  to 700 ml of fresh waterfire to  60, 67 and 74 ºGL content in fracs PET with 3 g/L chip toasted American oak (Quercus alba) obtained from the staves barrels used. The samples were treated 3 times per week (12treatments per month) for 60 minutes, during 3 months of study of aging. The results obtained showed a significant difference with respect  to  the control and the patterns of the same age by traditional aging. It is concluded that  the magnetic field of extremely low frequency can be used in combination with  the technique of bed packed for the aging of brandy, without affectations in their sensory parameters.
