N. Gandini et R. Riguzzi, HEADSPACE SOLID-PHASE MICROEXTRACTION ANALYSIS OF METHYL ISOTHIOCYANATE IN WINE, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(8), 1997, pp. 3092-3094
Methyl isothiocyanate (MITC) is used as soil fumigant for several vege
table diseases and as antifermentative agent in wine. A new headspace
solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method for analysis of MITC in w
ine is here described. This method is fast, inexpensive and does not r
equire any solvent. Moreover, it shows a low minimum detectable Limit
and a wide linearity range. The quantification of MITC is performed by
the standard additions method and does not require the use of interna
l standard, as in other methods.
