Abstract

A mixture of [2H7]-geraniol, [2H7]-nerol, [2H7]-linalool and [2H7]-α-terpineol was prepared for use as internal standards in a rapid and accurate analytical method, employing gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS), to determine the concentration of geraniol, nerol, linalool and α-terpineol in wine. The method avoids the possible formation, degradation and interconversion of these compounds during their analysis.
