“…Several different methods have been devised to determine the concentrations of DA in wine, but these techniques involve the distillation, solvent extraction, and/or derivatization of DA prior to its measurement. Colorimetric methods to measure DA have been widely used in the past, including the Prill and Hammer method (Guyman and Crowell, 1965), the Voges-Proskauer method (Walsh and Cogan, 1974), and a spectrophotometric determination method of total vicinal diketones (Garcia-Villanova and Estepa, 1993). These methods involve steam distillation to isolate DA from the wine matrix.…”
