This paper deals with the improvement of a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method, developed in a previous work, in order to analyse, simultaneously, thiols, sulphides and disulphides in wines. This can be achieved by applying Carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane fibres and a cryogenic trap to focus the analytes. Under optimum conditions, the HS-SPME procedure developed shows low limits of detection for the sulphides and disulphides studied (0.05-3 micrograms/l) and the thiols can also be analysed and detected at very low levels (0.5-1 microgram/l) with acceptable recoveries and repeatability.
