| Popis: | This paper describes a study of the different methods of sample preparation for the determination of iron in grape juice, wines, and other alcoholic beverages by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization; results are also reported for the practical application of these methods to the analysis of commercial samples produced in Spain. The methods examined include dealcoholization and dry and wet mineralization treatment using different acids and/or mixtures of them, both with and without heating. The sensitivity, detection limit, accuracy, precision, and selectivity of each method were established. The best results were obtained for wet mineralization with heated acid (HNO3–H2SO4); the results for table wines had an accuracy of 97.5–101.6%, a relative standard deviation of 3.51%, a detection limit of 19.2 μg/L, and a determination limit of 32.0 μg/L. The method was also sufficiently sensitive and selective. It was applied to the determination of iron in grape juice, different types of wines, and beverages with high alcoholic content, all of which are produced and widely consumed in Spain. The values obtained ranged from 3.394 ± 2.15 mg/L for the juice, 2.938 ± 1.47 mg/L for the white wines, 19.470 ± 5.43 mg/L for the sweet wines, 0.311 ± 0.07 mg/L for the brandies, and 0.564 ± 0.12 mg/L for the anisettes. Thus, the method is useful for routine analysis in the quality control of these beverages. |
