Abstract.

A 7.4-μm difference frequency spectrometer is used for analysing the headspace above the liquid surface of a sample of red wine for SO2. The analysis is based on previously determined line parameters for a number of SO2 lines of the ν3 band, and allows fast, interference-free determination of the concentration without the need for any calibration against a standard of known concentration. The potential for developing this technique into a method for determining free and total sulphur dioxide in beverages is discussed.
