Popis: Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural compound that can be found in high concentrations in red wine and in many typical foods found in human diet. Over the past decades, resveratrol has been widely investigated for its potential beneficial effects on human health. At the same time, numerous analytical methods have been developed for the quantitative determination of resveratrol isomers in oenological and food matrices. In the present work, we developed a very fast and sensitive GC–MS method for the determination of resveratrol in red wine based on ethylchloroformate derivatization. Since this reaction occurs directly in the water phase during the extraction process itself, it has the advantage of significantly reducing the overall processing time for the sample. This method presents low limits of quantification (LOQ) (25 ng/mL and 50 ng/mL for cis- and trans-resveratrol, respectively) and excellent accuracy and precision. Ethylchloroformate derivatization was successfully applied to the analysis of resveratrol isomers in a selection of 15 commercial Italian red wines, providing concentration values comparable to those reported in other studies. As this method can be easily extended to other classes of molecules present in red wine, it allows further development of new GC–MS methods for the molecular profiling of oenological matrices.
