Abstract:
Direct supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of wines with carbon dioxide was compared to SFE of the sorbent used for solid-phase extraction of the same wine samples (SPE-SFE). Compared to SPE-SFE, the direct SFE results in amore specific and representative gas chromatographic fingerprint of the wine sample. The multivariate statistical processing of the direct SFE-GC data provides a clear-cut and sharp discrimination among the individual wine varieties while the discrimination based on the SPE-SFE-GC data is relatively poor. This finding reflects the adverse effects of additional analyte-sorbent interactions and sorption/desorption steps involved in SPE-SFE.
