Evaluating Matrix and Time Effects on Analyte Recovery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Other parameters were studied to evaluate the susceptibility of the method to changes that might occur during routine analysis (use a different matrix or an extended extraction time). The matrix effect was evaluated using two different matrices mimicking a wine and a vinegar, respectively, by adding the same volatile compounds under evaluation at an intermediate concentration. Apart from volatile compounds, the synthetic wine comprises ethanol (12% by volume, Fisher, 99.8%), tartaric acid (5 g/L, Sigma, 99.5%), glycerol (7.5 g/L, Himedia, 99.5%), and malic acid (2 g/L, Acros Organics, 99%). Synthetic vinegar was prepared using 10 g/L of citric acid (Panreac, 99.5%) and 50 g/L of acetic acid (Sigma). Three replicates were carried out for each matrix. The effect of the change of the duration of the extraction time was also evaluated. Accordingly, three replicates of the extraction procedure were done by stirring the sample for 30 min instead of 15 min of the proposed method. Recovery (Rec) of target compounds, expressed as a percentage, was evaluated by calculating the measured concentration (

C_{measur}

) vs. the expected concentration (

C_{expect}

), as stated in Equation (4).

\frac{R e c}{%} = \frac{C_{measur}}{C_{expect}} \times 100

Conventional enological parameters were determined for the bottled wines after one month.
Alcohol content was measured using an Alcoquick L200 infralyser (Unisensor, Karlsruhe, Germany) and pH with a Titromatic pHmeter (Hachlange, Düsseldorf, Germany). Titratable (?) acidity was measured according to the OIV method (2009) . A Konelab Arena 20 sequential analyzer (Thermo Electron Corporation, Waltham, USA) using enzyme kits provided by several suppliers was used to determine volatile acidity (Megazyme, Wicklow, Ireland) and malic acid (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). Potassium determination was done by flame photometry (Bio Arrow, France) according to the OIV method ( 2009) and tartaric acid determination by colorimetric titration (Hill and Caputi 2009) . Anthocyanins and the Total Phenolic Index (TPI) were quantified according to the techniques described by Ribéreau-Gayon and Stonestreet (1965) and Ribéreau-Gayon (1970) , respectively, using an Evolution 100 spectrophotometer (Thermo Electron Corporation, Waltham, USA). Absorbance was measured at 420, 520 and 620 nm and Color Hue and Color Intensity were calculated by the A420/A520 ratio and by summing the three color components (A420-yellow, A520-red, and A620-blue), respectively. All determinations were carried out in duplicate.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
