Project code: BfR-LMS-02-G 1330-111
Contract period: 01.11.2004 - 30.06.2005
Purpose of research: Basic research

High resolution NMR-spectroscopy offers a broad application potential to food analysis. Since it allows precise determination of numerous different compounds simultaneously, it also permits rationalisation of workflow and an economic utilisation of resources. NMR-spectroscopy shall be used to develop procedures for fast parallel determination of the most important wine compounds, whose reproducability shall be compared to the required reference methods. The possibility to keep sample preparation to a minimum, to provide automation, and the instance that less time is needed for analysis, are factors by which this technique distinguishes itself and therefore is recommended for the use in routine analysis. A number of selected additives (methanol, diethylene glycol) shall be introduced to demonstrate the method’s efficiency in detecting deviation relating to authenticity.
