RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Quantitative Analysis of Flavanoids and Related Compounds in Wine by Gas-Liquid Chromatography JF American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO Am J Enol Vitic. FD American Society for Enology and Viticulture SP 238 OP 245 DO 10.5344/ajev.1968.19.4.238 VO 19 IS 4 A1 Eric N. Christensen A1 Arthur Caputi, Jr. YR 1968 UL http://www.ajevonline.org/content/19/4/238.abstract AB A procedure was devised for quantitative determination of some flavanoid compounds in wine. The method involves extraction of a 100-ml sample with 20 ml E[unknown]OAc. An aliquot of the organic phase is evaporated to dryness and subsequently treated with bis-(trimethylsilyl) acetamide(BSA) to form the silated derivatives. The silated material is analyzed by temperature-programmed gas chromatography on a 3% SE-30 column, the results being quantitative and reproducible. Several compounds, including d-catechin, I-epicatechin, kaempferol, and others, showed good approximation to linearity in the range 0-100 ppm when extracted, treated, and chromatographed in this manner. A number of wines were treated similarly, and the correlations are discussed.
