Direct SPME GC-MS determination of volatile congeners in wines without sample pre-treatment

Abstract

In this study, the “Ethanol as an Internal Standard” method was employed for the SPME GC-MS quantification of volatile congeners in wines. This method is fast, cheap, and simple, as it requires no sample pre-treatment beyond dilution with water. A series of standard solutions containing 10 commonly encountered wine congeners was prepared gravimetrically to test the method’s linearity and sensitivity. The proposed method was then compared to the traditional internal standard (IS) method, using 1-pentanol as the IS compound. Although the precision and linearity for some compounds were slightly lower when using the proposed method, these issues can be mitigated through further optimization of the SPME methodology. In terms of accuracy, the proposed method exhibited similar recoveries to the traditional IS method. Ten real wine samples (five white and five red) produced in Austria were simultaneously analysed using both IS methods for comparison. The results showed that over 90% of the obtained data (mean concentrations of individual congeners from both IS methods) did not differ significantly (p=0.05). Given its significant advantages, the “Ethanol as an Internal Standard” method is recommended for routine wine analysis.

Direkte bestimmung flüchtiger verbindungen in wein ohne probenbehandlung

In dieser arbeit wurde die methode “ethanol als interner standard” zur spme-gc-ms-quantifizierung flüchtiger kongenere in weinen verwendet. Unser ziel war es, eine schnelle und einfache methode der weinanalyse ohne zusätzliche verfahren, reagenzien usw. Zu entwickeln. Eine reihe von standardlösungen, die einige häufig vorkommende kongenere im wein enthalten, wurde gravimetrisch vorbereitet. Die vorgeschlagene methode wurde mit der traditionellen methode des internen standards verglichen. 1-pentanol wurde als traditionelle is-verbindung verwendet. 10 echte weinproben (5 weiße und 5 rote) wurden mit beiden methoden analysiert, um sie zu vergleichen.  Es wurde festgestellt, dass das vorgeschlagene verfahren in der routinemäßigen weinanalyse eingesetzt werden kann. Probleme mit der linearität für einige verbindungen können durch zusätzliche optimierung der spme-experimentparameter gelöst werden. Hinsichtlich der metrologie wurde festgestellt, dass die vorgeschlagene methode eine ähnliche wiederholbarkeit und rückgewinnungsraten wie die traditionelle is-methode aufweist. Die nachweis- und bestimmungsgrenzen waren jedoch höher für die vorgeschlagene methode. Die analyse von weinproben ergab, dass 10% der erhaltenen ergebnisse (mittlere konzentrationen einzelner kongenere, die mit beiden is erhalten wurden) signifikant unterschiedlich waren (p = 0,05).

прямое определение летучих веществ в вине без пробоподготовки

В этой работе метод с использованием этанола в качестве внутреннего стандарта был использовандля определения летучих примесей в винах методом spme gc-ms. Нашей целью было созданиебыстрого и простого метода анализа вина без дополнительных процедур, реагентов и прочего. Сериястандартных образцов, содержащих некоторые часто встречаемые в винах примеси, былаприготовлена гравиметрически. Предложенный метод был сравнен с традиционным методомвнутреннего стандарта. 1-пентанол был использован как классический внутренний стандарт. 10 реальных образцов вина (5 белых и 5 красных) были измерены двумя методами в целях сравнения.  Было обнаружено, что предложенный метод может быть использован в рутинном анализе вина. Проблемы с линейностью для некоторых компонентов могут быть решены дополнительнойоптимизацией процесса экстракции. С точки зрения метрологии, предложенный методхарактеризуется схожей с традиционным методом повторяемостью и величинами извлечениядобавок. Однако, пределы обнаружения и определения у предложенного метода были нескольковыше. Анализ реальных образцов вина показал, что 10% полученных результатов (среднееконцентрациий индивидуальных аналитов полученных двумя методами внутреннего стандарта) имеют значимое отличие при уровне значимости p=0.05.

Distinctive flavour or taint? The case of smoky characters in wine

Forest fires in the vicinity of vineyards have significantly increased in the last decade and are a concern for grapegrowers and winemakers in many wine producing countries. The fires cause smoke drift throughout vineyards which cannot be avoided and may result in the production of wines described as ‘smoke tainted’. Such wines are characterized by undesirable sensory characters described as ‘smoky’, ‘burnt’, ‘ash’ aromas and flavours, and also may cause a lingering, unpleasant ashy aftertaste [1; 2].

Novel ATR-FTIR and UV-Vis spectral markers for assessing the Prooxidant/Antioxidant Balance (PAB) in white wines

The browning index (BI), based on the absorbance at 420 nm, is a common oxidation marker in white wines, typically measured after thermal stress (50–60 °C for 5 up to 12 days) in air-saturated wines.

Colloids in red wines: new insights from recent research

Despite their significant impact on wine quality and stability, colloids in red wine remain relatively under-researched. A series of studies, developed in the context of the d-wines project, aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure, composition, and formation mechanisms of red wine colloids by studying monovarietal wines from 10 of the most significant Italian red grape varieties. Starting from the idea that proteins, polysaccharides, and tannins should be involved in colloid formation, 110 monovarietal red wines were analysed for these components, revealing high inter- and intra-varietal diversity [1].

Energy optimization of the Charmat-Martinotti refermentation process

The european union has estimated that energy consumption for wine production is about 1,750 million kwh per year, of which 500 million kwh is attributable to italy. In recent years, Italy has emerged as the world’s leading wine producer with about 50 million hectoliters per year. About 20 percent (9.8 million hectoliters) of Italian wine is marketed after refermentation according to the Charmat-Martinotti method.

Evolution of oak barrels C-glucosidic ellagitannins

During oak wood contact, wine undergoes important modifications that modulate its organoleptic quality and complexity, including its aroma, structure, astringency, bitterness and color. Vescalagin and castalagin are the two main C-glucosidic ellagitannins found in oak wood used for wine aging wood but lyxose/xylose derivatives (grandinin and roburin e) and dimeric forms (roburins a,b, c and d) are also present. The presence of several hydroxyl groups in the ortho-positions at the periphery of the structure of the ellagitannin isomers allows these molecules to undergo oxidation or condensation reactions with other compounds.
