A. Hermann, Determination of D/H isotope ratio in acetic acid from vinegars and pickled products by H-2-NMR-spectroscopy, EUR FOOD RE, 212(6), 2001, pp. 683-686
A straightforward way of isolating acetic acid from vinegars and pickled pr
eserves and measuring its D/H ratio employing a combination of natural abun
dance deuterium- and proton NMR-spectroscopy is described. Additionally, an
approach for referencing the isotopic ratios to a certified standard mater
ial is given. Some results on pickled preserves are presented.
