Origins of Shedeh
http://tinyurl.com/daddz (Science Direct)
The Journal of Archaeological Science 33( issue 1) January 2006 features one article on ancient Egypt entitled The origin of the ancient Egyptian drink Shedeh revealed using LC/MS/MS (pages 98-101) by Maria Rosa Guasch-Jané, Cristina Andrés-Lacueva, Olga Jáuregui and Rosa M. Lamuela-Raventós. The summary on the above site concludes that: By applying the previously developed LC/MS/MS wine markers method to a sample of a residue from the Tutankhamun's amphora inscribed Shedeh, tartaric acid and syringic acid derived from malvidin-3-glucoside, markers for Vitis vinifera and the red cultivars, respectively, were identified. Our results definitively reveal that the ancient Egyptian highly valued Shedeh drink was a grape product, specifically made from red grapes."
