Samples in tetrahydrofuran (THF, ≥99.9%, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were diluted with water 1 in 50, filtered through a 0.2 μm membrane and analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC was carried out on an Agilent 1290 system with diode array detection, using a YMC UltraHT Pro C18 100 mm × 2.1 mm I.D. column with 2 μm particle size and 12 nm pore. The mobile phases were A: water + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, ≥99.0, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and B: acetonitrile (≥99.9%, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) + 0.1% TFA. A gradient from 20–60% B over 10 min followed by a 1.5-min re-equilibration to 20% B was used to separate the components at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Detection was at 220 nm (furfuryl alcohol), 260 nm (2-furoic acid) and 280 nm (furfuraldehyde, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 5-methylfurfural). The injection volume was 1.0 μL.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Volatile phenols, furanic
compounds, lactones, phenolic aldehydes, and phenolic alcohols were
analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometery (GC–MS).
The equipment used was an Agilent Technologies 6890N-MSD-5973N gas
chromatography–mass spectrometer. Chromatographic separation19 (link) was performed with the DB-WAX column (30 m ×
0.25 mm internal diameter × 0.25 μm film thickness) (J&W
Scientific, Folsom, CA, USA). The method was calibrated using the
following external standards: guaiacol, eugenol, furfural, furfuryl
alcohol, 5-methyl furfural, oak lactone, vanillin, syringaldehyde,
acetovanillone, ethyl vanillin, and vanillin alcohol (Merck, Hohenbrunn,
Germany).
Liquid extraction with dichloromethane was performed
before the chromatographic separation. A 2.5 mL volume of red wine
was mixed with 250 μL of dichloromethane and 25 μL of
3,4-dimethylphenol solution (10 mg/L) (Merck, Hohenbrunn, Germany)
as the internal standard; 0.37 g of NaCl was added and stirred in
a vortex for 5 min. After centrifugation at 7500 rpm for 15 min at
4 °C, the dichloromethane phase was extracted and injected into
the chromatograph (1 μL).

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.
