Determination of sulphur and total sulphur dioxide in wines by an ICP-AES method

Abstract:
Sulphur contents of the original sample and the sample free from sulphur dioxide were determined by ICP-AES following nitric acid digestion under high pressure (using PAAR HPA equipment), and the total sulphur content was calculated from the difference between the results obtained. With the aim of preparing a sample free from sulphur dioxide, bound sulphur dioxide was released by sodium hydroxide, then after acidifying by phosphoric acid, boiling was carried out. Relative standard deviations of the results obtained for total sulphur, the sulphur without S(IV) and total sulphur dioxide were lower than 2.5, 3.5 and 5% respectively. Various amounts of sulphur (in the form of Na(2)SO(4)), added to wine samples, were successfully recovered between 95.5 and 104.9%. Based on comparative analyses performed by a widely accepted classic method, the indirect method developed was found to be adequate for the determination of total sulphur dioxide. The procedure is suitable for serial tests.
