The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, commonplace in Australia, might be prevented by the enrichment of alcoholic beverages with thiamine. The use of the well absorbed thiamine alkyl disulphides for the enrichment of the most relevant Australian beverage, namely beer, is examined. A liquid chromatographic method is described whereby thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulphide and thiamine propyl disulphide can be detected in beer in concentrations down to 125 ng/ml. It is concluded that the thiamine alkyl disulphides offer no special advantage because their disulphide bonds are reduced by substances in beer, yielding free thiamine.
韦尼克-科尔萨科夫综合征在澳大利亚很常见，通过在酒精饮料中添加硫胺素或许可以预防。本文研究了使用吸收良好的硫胺烷基二硫化物来强化澳大利亚最相关的饮料——啤酒。描述了一种液相色谱法，利用该方法可检测出啤酒中硫胺四氢糠基二硫化物和硫胺丙基二硫化物的浓度低至125纳克/毫升。得出的结论是，硫胺烷基二硫化物没有特别优势，因为它们的二硫键会被啤酒中的物质还原，生成游离硫胺素。
