A Versatile Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Full-Scan High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Method to Quantify Wine Polyphenols.

Polyphenols are responsible for wine colour and astringency, and, as antioxidants, they also have beneficial health properties. In this work, we developed a robust full-scan high-resolution mass spectrometry method for the quantification of 90 phenolic compounds in wine samples (either red, rosé, or white wine), using a UHPLC-Orbitrap system. With this method, we could conduct a detailed analysis of phenolic compounds in red, rosé, and white wines with great selectivity due to sub-ppm mass accuracy.
