Bracketins versus Multipoint Calibration in Determination of Isocyanates in Agglomerated Cork Stoppers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A calibration method was developed for the quantification of isocyanates in cork stoppers agglomerates. Bracketing and multipoint calibration curve was applied to a in-house optimized UPLC/DAD analytical method. The calibration curves were obtained by regression analysis using experimental points that covers the range of concentrations expected in real samples. A contaminated real sample was injected and MDI concentration was 6.2 % and 6.4% when calibration methods to calculate the content were multipoint or bracketing, respectively. According with our results both methods are complementary and necessary to guarantee the reliably of results obtained by chromatographic procedure.

New Cork-Based Materials and Applications
This review work is an update of a previous work reporting the new cork based materials and new applications of cork based materials. Cork is a material which has been used for multiple applications. The most known uses of cork are in stoppers (natural and agglomerated cork) for alcoholic beverages, classic floor covering with composite cork tiles (made by the binding of cork particles with dif...
متن کاملDrinking and protecting: a market approach to the preservation of cork oak landscapes
With the availability of new techniques to close wine bottles avoiding the risk of “corky” taste the tradition of closing wine bottles with cork stoppers is on the retreat. As a consequence the Mediterranean cork oak forests with their rich biodiversity are endangered since their cultivation is not profitable anymore. This paper explores the viability of a market approach to the preservation of...

AIMS The main aims of this work were the study of cork slabs moulds colonization and the evaluation of the moulds diversity during cork processing steps, in different cork stoppers factories. Simultaneously, it was envisaged to perform an evaluation of the air quality. METHODS AND RESULTS Moulds were isolated and identified from cork slabs and cork samples in four cork stoppers factories. The...
متن کاملEthanol/Water extraction combined with solid-phase extraction and solid-phase microextraction concentration for the determination of chlorophenols in cork stoppers.
The appearance of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) in cork stoppers is of great concern because it can cause off-flavors in bottled wine. To prevent this sensorial defect, there should not be any traces of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (TeCP), or pentachlorophenol (PCP) in the finished corks, because they are the direct precursors of TCA. In the course of this study two met...
متن کاملMolecular fingerprinting by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis reveals differences in the levels of microbial diversity for musty-earthy tainted corks.
The microbial community structure of cork with marked musty-earthy aromas was analyzed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of amplified ribosomal DNA. Cork stoppers and discs were used for DNA extraction and were analyzed by using selective primers for bacteria and fungi. Stoppers clearly differed from discs harboring a different fungal community. Moreover, musty-earthy samples of bot...
