AN182: Determination of Biogenic Amines in Alcoholic Beverages by Ion Chromatography with Suppressed Conductivity and Integrated Pulsed Amperometric Detections

Instrument Type: IC

In this application, three detectors were employed and compared. An IonPac CS18 column coupled to IPAD to detect biogenic amines in beer and wine samples prior to storage. As relatively little information exists on the accumulation of biogenic amines in alcoholic beverages during storage, refrigerated samples were analyzed using suppressed conductivity detection coupled to IPAD. UV detection was used to confirm the presence of tyramine in some alcoholic beverages. Detectors were also compared in terms of linearity, detection limits, precision, and recovery of biogenic amines spiked in samples.
