Volatile compounds of red and white wines by headspace--solid-phase microextraction using different fibers.

The behavior of four fibers [polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), PDMS-divinylbenzene (DVB), carboxen (CAR)-PDMS, PDMS-DVB-CAR), is tested for the analysis of volatile compounds of white and red wine. The PDMS-DVB-CAR fiber is the most appropriate to obtain the most wide volatile profile of wines. The better extraction conditions are 40 min at 35 degrees C. Satisfactory data about the reproducibility and uptake are obtained for more than 40 volatile compounds of red and white wine.
