Wine major volatiles and potential interferences are removed by washing up with 9mL of a 40% methanol-water solution containing 1% NaHCO"3. The ketone is subsequently derivatised with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl) hydroxylamine (PFBHA) to form its two isomeric oximes. Reaction takes place in the same cartridge at room temperature (25^oC) in 15min. The excess of reagent is then removed by washing with 20mL of a 0.05M sulphuric acid solution. The corresponding oximes are further eluted with pentane and determined by gas chromatography coupled with ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) by non-resonant fragmentation of the m/z 140 parent ion and subsequent analysis of the corresponding daughter ions (m/z 77, 79, 94 for the trans and m/z 77 and 79 for the cis-isomer, respectively). The analytical signal is highly specific and in all samples the obtained MS spectrum are fully coincident with those from synthetic standards. Recoveries were in all the studied cases 100%. Precision (measured as R.S.D.) is better than 5%, linearity holds at least up to 900ngL^-^1 (r^2=0.9990), and the method detection limit is 0.75ngL^-^1, well below the olfactory threshold of the compound (15ngL^-^1). The range of concentrations found in normal, non-spoiled dry wines goes from 7 to 61ngL^-^1. Sensory experiments have shown, however, that such differences do not seem to be enough to explain sensory differences. |
