Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction for a rapid determination of glyoxal in alcoholic beverages
2017
Abstract Carbonyl compounds, like glyoxal, methylglyoxal, diacetyl or pentane-2,3-dione, among others, have been widely studied. Besides its endogenous origin, they are originated from foodstuffs and are related to sensorial characteristics in products such as wine and beer. Generally, for their determination, the analytes must be derivatised to adapt them for the detection system and this step takes long time. The main aim of this research was to develop a simultaneous derivatization and extraction method which takes place in only few minutes. 3,4-diaminopyridine, as derivatizing reagent, generate a fluorescent product. This reaction is selective for glyoxal. For this new dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) procedure combined with chromatographic determination of glyoxal, various parameters affecting the extraction were optimized and finally, a mixture of butan-1-ol as dispersant solvent and dichloromethane as extractant solvent were selected. Its chromatographic peak appears at 2.6 min. Four Spanish wines and five Spanish beers have been analysed and the results showed that the levels of glyoxal are comprised between 2.8–9.5 mg L −1 . The proposed DLLME method drastically reduces the reaction time from 2 or 3–20 min improving the methods found in the literature. The glyoxal concentration found in the wines and beers analysed do not suppose any health risk.
