Abstract A full evaporation headspace gas chromatographic (HSGC) method is described for rapid determination of ethanol in soy sauce. The results demonstrated that a nearcomplete mass transfer of ethanol in the soy sauce sample to the vapor phase (headspace) was achieved within 2 min at 105 °C when a very small (≤40 μL) sample was added to a 20mL headspace sample vial. The ethanol in the vapor phase was then determined by HSGC using a flame ionization detector. The results showed that the method has an excellent measurement precision (relative standard deviation
