Liquid chromatography is by far the most important technique for determining amines and amino acids in wine. Derivatization and a modern fluorescence or UV detector are required. The most popular derivatization reagents for amines are orthophthalaldehyde and dansyl chloride, whereas many different agents are used for derivatizing amino acids. The classic amino acid analyzer is used as often as the liquid chromatograph for amino acid determination. In general, red wines contain significantly more amines than do white wines. Usually, wines contain only a few milligrams per liter of each of the most important amines, such as histamine, tyramine, and phenethylamine. The amount of total amino acids is several dozen-fold higher than the amount of total amines in wine. Red wine contains 300 to 1300 mg/L of the most abundant amino acid, proline, which means that proline accounts for 30\% to 85\% of the total amino acid content. Next in abundance are alanine, glutamic acid + glutamine, arginine, and γ-aminobutyric acid.}, issn = {0002-9254}, URL = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/47/2/127}, eprint = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/47/2/127.full.pdf}, journal = {American Journal of Enology and Viticulture} }
