Analysis of α-diacarbonyl compounds by gas chromatography after derivation by 1,2-diaminobenzene (Type IV)

OIV-MA-BS-17 Analysis of α-dicarbonyl compounds in spirituous beverages of viti-vinicultural origin by gas chromatography after derivation by 1,2-diaminobenzene

Type IV method

  1. Introduction

The principal α-dicarbonyl compounds found in wine spirits (Figure 1) are: glyoxal, methylglyoxal, diacetyl and pentane-2,3-dione.

Lead (Type IV)

OIV-MA-BS-32 Lead- Determination by atomic absorption

Type IV method

  1. Principle of the method

Lead is determined directly in the alcoholic beverage, using a lead hollow-cathode lamp by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry, using a matrix modifier.

Copper (Type IV)

OIV-MA-BS-30 Copper- Determination by atomic absorption

Type IV method

  1. Principle

Copper content is determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry by means of an oxidizing acetylene air flame using a copper hollow-cathode lamp, at wavelength 324.7 nm, on the dealcoholised alcoholic beverage, according the so-called "standard addition" method.
