“…Spectrophotometric [2,3], gas chromatographic [4][5][6] or HPLC methods with RP C18 columns [7][8][9][10] have been developed to determine sorbates in wines. When chromatographic methods are used, the sample is normally purified with SPE columns [11,12] or by liquid-liquid extraction [13,14]. Sample purification lengthens the overall analysis time, increases the costs and decreases the accuracy and reproducibility.…”
