Oxidase-Peroxidase Method of Ethanol Assay in Fermented Musts and Wine Products

Abstract

A new alcohol oxidase-peroxidase method of ethanol assay in fermented musts and wine products is described and compared to conventional methods routinely used in winemaking. The sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability of this method were determined. The results of ethanol determination in fermented musts and wines correlated well with the data obtained by refractometry (correlation coefficient R = 0.9595, p < 0.0001) and densitometry (correlation coefficient R = 0.9384, p < 0.0001). The proposed method is less time-and laborconsuming and allows simultaneous analysis of a series of wine samples.

Formaldehyde assay by capacitance versus voltage and impedance measurements using bi-layer bio-recognition membrane

“…The normal endogenous concentration of formaldehyde in blood is approximately 0.1 mM in rats, monkeys, and humans, and it is two-to four-fold higher in liver and nasal mucosa of rats. In extreme cases some frozen fishes, especially of gadoid species, can accumulate up to 200 mg of formaldehyde per 1 kg of moist weight due to the enzymatic degradation of a natural fish component-trimethylamine oxide (Rehbein, 1995;Pavlishko et al, 2003). Formaldehyde is classified as a mutagen and possible human carcinogen (Feron et al, 1991), one of the chemical mediators of apoptosis, i.e.…”

Modern methods of wine quality analysis

“…Набір «Алкотест» було успіш-но застосовано для аналізу реальних зразків вино-продуктів [37]. Функціональні можливості методу можна розширити шляхом уведення в реакційну суміш інших оксидаз (наприклад, глюкозооксидази для аналізу глюкози), що стало основою для створен-ня діагностичного набору -ДІАГЛЮК-2‖.…”
