Popis: An analytical method was based on the aldehyde-bisulfite (separated by HPLC) reaction with o-phthalaldehyde in the presence of ammonium acetate, producing a fluorescent compound. Detection limits of alkanal-bisulfite (from formaldehyde- to octylaldehyde-bisulfite) and 2-alkenal-bisulfite (from trans-2-hexenal- to trans-2-nonenal-bisulfite) ranged from 5 nM to 25 nM. The method was less sensitive for free sulfite (detection limit 100 μM) than for aldehyde-bisulfite. Increasing acetaldehyde-bisulfite with addition of 25 mM acetaldehyde to a beer sample showed free sulfite in the beer. Free sulfite and acetaldehyde-bisulfite were detected in commercial beers but other aldehyde-bisulfites were not.
