Beschreibung

Hinweis zur Analyse

2,4,6-Trichloroanisole (TCA) is a phenolic compound that, if present, gives wine an unpleasant odor often described as musty, woody, dank, and acrid. Human sensory thresholds for TCA are very low, estimated to be approximately 5 parts per trillion. Natural phenolic compounds in cork can convert into TCA when the cork is exposed to chlorine-containing bleach. TCA contamination can also derive from fungi growing on the grapes during fermentation. In this application, a 100 μm PDMS fiber was used to extract TCA from the headspace above a spiked wine sample prior to analysis by GC. The SLB-5ms GC columns provide consistently low-bleed, inert, efficient, and durable separations.
