Abstract: This study combines liquor component analysis with university-level chemistry instrumental analysis education. An exploratory experiment was designed incorporating gas chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Through literature review, experimental design, and investigative research, students conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses of alcohol content and flavor compounds in 25 commercially available Chinese liquor samples. This approach facilitates active student engagement in instrumental analysis courses, improves teaching effectiveness, and develops students’ comprehensive thinking skills and independent innovation capabilities.

Key words: Instrumental analysis, Gas chromatography, Proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Liquor component
