Calcium- Determination by AAS

COEI-2-CALCIU Determination of calcium by atomic absorption spectrometry

  1. Principle

The calcium is directly determined in the liquid oenological product (or in the mineralisation solution) suitably diluted by atomic absorption spectrometry by air-acetylene flame after the addition of spectral buffer.

Cadmium- Determination by AAS

COEI-2-CADMIU Determination of cadmium by atomic absorption spectrometry

  1. Principle

The cadmium is determined in solid oenological products after mineralisation by wet process or directly for liquid oenological products or put in a solution.

The determinations are performed by atomic absorption without a flame (electro-thermal atomisation in a graphite oven).

Bromine- Index

COEI-2-IBROME Bromine index

The bromine index is the quantity of bromine expressed in grammes, that 100 g of the substance can set.

  1. Apparatus

A graduated flask of 300 to 400 ml with an interior tube welded at the bottom, an emery stopper and a tube with a handle, compliant with the following diagram

Benzo[a]pyrene- Determination

COEI-2-HYDCAR Aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons

Determination of benzo(a)pyrene in oenological charbons by HPLC

  1. Principle

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons including benzoapyrene are extracted by hexane; the solvent is evaporated and the residue is taken up by the methanol-tetrahydrofuran for analysis by HPLC.

Gas control by GC

COEI-2-CONGAZ Analyses of gas control by gaseous chromatography

  1. Principle

The gases are controlled by chromatography in gaseous phase using a "molecular sieve" type column and detection by catharometer or flame ionisation.
