Acrolein is highly toxic and its presence in wine has been correlated with the development of bitterness. Analytical detection and quantification in aqueous solutions are challenging due to high reactivity and problems with chemical derivative analysis. Here we demonstrate the potential of a natural derivative, formed under conditions prevailing in wine, as a marker for acrolein detection. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatograph mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was validated as a technique for direct detection of the acrolein dimer. Conventional GC-MS analysis using a quadrupole mass spectrometer did not provide sufficient chromatographic resolution for the separation of the target analyte from interfering compounds. Accurate mass measurements with time-of-flight (TOF)-MS, on the other hand, allowed qualitative and quantitative measurements of the acrolein dimer. This work lays the analytical foundation for studies on the evolution of acrolein and its dimer in solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
