Determination of piceid by photochemically induced fluorescence and second-derivative - Response surface methodology for the optimization of a liquid-liquid extraction procedure for its analysis in wine samples

摘要

trans-Piceid itself is weakly fluorescent, but the fluorescence signal (lambda(exc/em) = 260/361 nm) is greatly enhanced by UV-irradiation of its hydroethanolic solutions. Employing the photoinduced emission signal at 361 nm or the amplitude of the second-derivative-photoinduced emission spectrum, between 353 and 361 nm, a linear relation is found in the assayed range 5.7-31.4 ng mL(-1) of trans-piceid and limits of detection of 1.7 and 2.1 ng mL(-1), respectively, are obtained. A previous liquid-liquid extraction is necessary for the determination of piceid in wine. Experimental design (Central Composite Design) together with the Response Surface Methodology have been used to find optimum conditions for the extraction procedure. For this purpose, the difference between the photoinduced-fluorescence signal = (lambda(exc/em) = 260/361 nm) of the aqueous phase, before and after being extracted, has been considered as Response Function. A tartrate buffer (pH 5.0) concentration of 0.15 mol L-1 and a phase ratio of 1 are determined as optimum conditions. The amplitude of the second-derivative-emission spectrum, corresponding to the evaporated and re-dissolved organic phase, between 353 and 361 nm has been employed as analytical signal. Standard addition method has been applied to the analysis of piceid in different wine samples under optimum conditions. Results of wine analysis have been satisfactorily validated by HPLC.
