Abstract:
A simple, quick, cheap and green dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) method followed by benzoyl chloride pre-column derivatisation for HPLC-UV determination of twelve biogenic amines (BAs) in wines is proposed for the first time. The dSPE using a strong cation exchange resin increased the selectivity and sensitivity of the analysis by elimination of interfering compounds and a five-fold enrichment of BAs. The method presented an adequate precision and linearity with detection limits ranging from 0.133 to 0.509 mg/L. Recoveries ranging from 72 to 99% prove the accuracy of the method for determining BAs in red, white and Tawny Port wine samples yielding chromatograms clean from interferents. The method was applied successfully to the analysis of 31 young red wines from different Portuguese wine regions. The dSPE method although has a potential of broader application to other food matrixes, other derivatisation procedures than benzoyl chloride and other detectors.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
