A. Espinosamansilla et al., KINETIC DETERMINATION OF 2-FURFURALDEHYDE BASED IN A MODIFIED WINKLERS METHOD, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 44(10), 1996, pp. 2962-2965
A kinetic study of the Winkler's reaction for the determination of 2-f
urfuraldehyde (FUR) has been made on the basis of the absorbance-time
curves. Winkler's method has been modified and only one step is necess
ary to add all reactive components. A kinetic method for the determina
tion of FUR was developed with a range of application between 0.12 and
2 mu g mL(-1). The proposed kinetic method permits one to determine F
UR in spirit beverages without the instability problems of the convent
ional Winkler's method. Only, 40 s per sample is necessary for the ana
lysis.
