During the winemaking are used technology coadjuvants, between them: albumin, caseinates and lysozyme. These compounds have great oenological properties, however, the presence of their residues can represent risks to people who are allergic to them because they are derived from eggs and milk. Mass spectrometry methods enables unambiguous determination of allergenic proteins at low levels in wines. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of ovalbumin, alpha-casein, beta-casein and lysozyme in experimental wines treated with different concentrations of them by triple quadrupole liquid chromatography mass spectrometry with Jet Stream Electrospray Ionization (ESI). The wines were elaborated and treated with different concentrations of albumin, lysozyme and potassium caseinate. Bentonite and decantation were used for the removal of the fining agents. The quantification limits (LOQ) for ovalbumin, a-casein, b-casein and lysozyme were: 0.002 mg/L, 0.24 mg/L, 0.75 mg/L and 0.04 mg/L, respectively. Non residues of the proteins were identified in the experimental wines treated with the different amounts of potassium caseinate, albumin and lysozyme, analyzed in this study. These results provide an evidence of the absence of residues of caseinate, albumin and lysozyme in the concentrations tested in the wines if good treatment practices are followed.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi examinar a possibilidade do uso do dióxido de carbono supercrítico na extração e concentração de tocoferóis a partir do destilado desodorizado do óleo de soja. Trata-se da combinação seqüencial de duas extrações: pré-extração à temperatura de 80°C e pressão de 76 bars para remoção de substâncias interferentes e extração dos tocoferóis a 50°C e 197 bars. O coletor utilizado foi o octadesil-sílica, lavado com acetonitrila na pré-extração e hexano na extração, e a análise dos extratos obtidos foi feita por cromatografia de fase gasosa em coluna capilar. O resultado mostrou que o desodorizado do óleo de soja, contendo inicialmente 9,2% de tocoferóis totais, pôde ser concentrado para 40,6%. Sob as condições otimizadas, a extração pode ser realizada em 37 minutos.
