Wine: Gas and Liquid Chromatography

From the chemical point of view, wines are aqueous alcoholic solutions containing more than 1000 components that can be present at high concentrations (g L ), but also at trace levels (ng L ). Some of these components determine the organoleptic properties of wines, while others are signi"cant for classifying their origin and/or for checking whether some adulteration has taken place. Concentrati...

Gas–liquid interactions in solution*

Two approaches are followed to understand how molecular interactions influence the macroscopic properties of solutions: (1) experiment, through the determination of gas solubility, and (2) computer simulation, used to evaluate microscopic properties (structural and energetic). Examples of application of these approaches are considered in order to explain the properties of solutions containing f...

Disopyramide determination by gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography--mass spectrometry.

Disopyramide is determined in serum by gas chromatography with a nitrogen-selective detector, by liquid chromatography, and by gas chromatography--mass spectrometry. Comparable results are obtained with the three techniques, with a within-run and between-run precision of 5 to 10% (coefficient of variation). Least-squares analysis of data on patients' sera, analyzed first by gas chromatography (...

Hippurate Hydrolysis by Gas-Liquid Chromatography

A rapid gas-liquid chromatographic procedure was developed to determine hippurate hydrolysis by microorganisms. Bacterial cells were inoculated into 0.4 ml of 1% sodium hippurate and incubated for 2 h at 37°C. Cells were removed by centrifugation, and the benzoate released by enzyme activity was converted to methyl benzoate and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. This procedure is sensitive,...
