Determination of D-gluconic acid in wines and musts by automated enzymatic method (Type-II)

OIV-MA-AS313-28 Determination of D-gluconic acid in wines and musts by automated enzymatic method

Type II method

  1. Scope of application

This method makes it possible to determine D-gluconic acid in wines and musts by specific enzymatic analysis using an automatic sequential analyser, with concentrations of 0.06 g/L to 5.28 g/L of analyte (taking into account that the sample may be diluted).

  1. Principle

 

The D-gluconate present in the sample is phosphorylated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during an enzymatic reaction catalysed by gluconate kinase (GK), to produce D-gluconate 6-phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

In the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), D-gluconate 6-phosphate oxidises to form ribulose 5-phosphate through the action of enzyme 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH). The quantity produced of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) corresponds to that of D-gluconate-6-phosphate and, as such, of D-gluconic acid.

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is determined by spectrophotometry at 340 nm (the wavelength of maximum absorption of NADPH). The NADPH concentration is proportional to the concentration of D-gluconic acid.

3.2.   Working solutions

3.2.1.  Reagent 1: dissolve 30.2g PIPES (3.1.2) (100 mmol/L), 1 g β-NADP-Na2 (3.1.3) (1.3 mmol/L), 5.28 g NaOH (3.1.9) and 5 g PVP K-90 (3.1.10) in 1 L distilled water (3.1.1). The pH should be in the 6.3-6.4 range. This solution is stable for at least 4 weeks at 2-8 °C.

3.2.2. Reagent 2: dissolve 30.2 g PIPES (3.1.2) (100 mmol/L), 1 g MgCl2·6H2O (3.1.4) (1.3 mmol/L), 4.84 g ATP-Na2 (3.1.5) and 7.6 g NaOH (3.1.9) in 1 L distilled water (3.1.1). The pH should be in the 7.0-7.2 range. Add 10 KU kinase glutonate (3.1.6) and 10 KU 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (3.1.7). This solution is stable for at least 4 weeks at 2-8 °C.

3.3.   Calibration solutions

Calibration solutions are prepared from the D-gluconic acid sodium salt (3.1.8), by weighing, in concentrations that cover the linear range of the method (0.06-2 g/L).

Note 1: The formulations described above are for preparing 1 L of reagent. Other volumes may be prepared according to the needs of the laboratory.

Note 2: Commercial kits are available for the determination of D-gluconic acid. The user should check that the kit includes the reagents mentioned above.

  1. Apparatus
    1.    Sequential automatic analyser with temperature control (approximately 37 °C), adjusted to measure absorbance at 340 nm. The apparatus should have software that facilitates data acquisition and carries out the necessary calculations.
    2.    Spectrophotometer or photometer to measure absorbance at 340 nm
    3.    Glass, quartz or methacrylate cuvettes
    4.    Class-A glassware for regular laboratory use (flasks, pipettes, etc.)
    5.    Micropipettes
    6.    Analytical balance with a resolution of ± 0.0001 g
    7.    pH meter
  1. Sample preparation

If necessary, follow the procedure for preparation of the corresponding sample:

5.1.   Filter or centrifuge the samples if they contain suspended particles.

5.2.   Degas samples that contain carbon dioxide through stirring under vacuum, an ultrasonic bath or any other means that makes it possible to reach the required level of degasification.

5.3.   Samples with a concentration higher than the specified limit of linearity (2 g/L) should be diluted with distilled water (3.1.1). Multiply the concentration obtained by the dilution factor.

  1. Procedure

 

Given that different types of analysers may be used, it is recommended to strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This is also applicable to commercial enzymatic kits.

The procedures are those detailed below (volumes are given by way of example).

6.1.   Manual procedure

6.1.1. Preheat the reagents and photometer to 37 °C.

6.1.2. Add the following to a cuvette using a pipette:

Reagent blank (RB)

Wavelength: 340 nm

Temperature:  37 °C

Analysis mode: 2 points (differential)

Sample volume:10 μL

Volume of Reagent 2: 60 μL

6.2.2. Programme an application in the analyser so that it performs the following sequence:

Reagent blank (RB)

Standard / Sample

Standard / Sample

Distilled water

Reagent 1

-

10 μL

240 μL

Mix, incubate for 1-5 min and read the absorbance (A1). Then add:

Reagent 2

60 μL

60 μL

Mix, incubate for 10 min and read the absorbance (A2).

The apparatus takes regular measurements, which makes it possible to obtain reaction kinetics (Fig. 1).

Figure 1: Example of reaction kinetics

6.2.3. It is advisable to check the calibration by carrying out three controls spread out over the measurement range. Each laboratory should establish its own internal quality-control programme, as well as correction procedures in case the controls do not comply with the acceptable tolerance levels.

  1. Calculations

Calculate the D-gluconic acid concentration using the following formula:

If the calibration is carried out with one point (standard) and the blank:

If the calibration is with a calibration line:

The absorbance calculated (A) is interpolated on the calibration line (Fig. 2) to obtain the D-gluconic acid concentration. Multiply the concentration obtained by the dilution factor (F).

A1: absorbance of the Blank/Standard/Sample + Reagent 1

A2: absorbance of the Blank/Standard/Sample + Reagent 1 + Reagent 2

RB: reagent blank

0.81: factor of correction of the dilution of Reagent 1 (this may vary depending on the volumes used according to the formula [Sample vol. + Reagent 1] / [Sample vol. + Reagent 1 + Reagent 2]).

F: factor of dilution of the sample (to be applied if necessary)
