Abstract

A rapid and sensitive analytical method for the determination of main organic acids in wines was developed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with indirect UV detection. Separation parameters including the pH of electrolyte, chromophore, and its concentration were optimized. The results showed that the optimal electrolyte for the separation of organic acids consisted of 10 mmol L−1 2, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) at pH 3.6 containing 0.4 mmol L−1 cetyltrimethlammonium bromide (CTAB). DHBA as chromphore was selected based on the close mobility to the analyte and relatively large molar extinction coefficient. The method showed good linearity with limits of detection (LOD), ranging from 0.5 to 7.5 mg L−1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of interday precisions for the peak area and the migration time were less than 7.2 and 0.8 %, respectively. The recoveries of the analyte in Chinese rice wine sample were between 90.3 and 106.9 % with RSD ranging from 1.4 to 8.9 %. The method was successfully applied to the commercial rice wine and beer samples with dilution and filtration.
