A multicommuted flow system with the propulsion device placed before detection is proposed for the determination of tartaric acid and free potassium in table and Port wines. A dialysis unit was introduced to increase sample dilution and minimize matrix interferences. The determination of tartaric acid was based on the spectrophotometric monitorization of the complex formed by the dialyzed analyte with vanadate. Potentiometric measurement of potassium was carried out through an ion selective tubular electrode. Dynamic linear ranges of 0.500-5.00gL(-1) and 390-2000mgL(-1) were achieved for tartaric acid and potassium determinations, respectively. Detection and quantification limits of 0.1 and 0.4gL(-1) of tartaric acid were obtained, respectively. For the potentiometric determination, a detection limit of 1x10(-4)molL(-1) was achieved. The accuracy of the method was assessed by analysis of 30 wine samples by the proposed methodology and manual procedures. There were no statistical differences between the 2 sets of results, in both determinations. Relative standard deviations lower than 2.1 and 2.4% were attained by the spectrophotometric and potentiometric measurements, respectively. A determination rate of 52h(-1) was achieved.

The increasing level of cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil due to anthropogenic actions is a significant problem. This problem not only harms the natural environment, but it also causes major harm to human health via the food chain. The use of chelating agent is a useful strategy to avoid heavy metal uptake and accumulation in plants.

The recovery of polysaccharides (PS) from red grape marc and white grape pomace by enzymatic degradation of their cell walls is an interesting green extraction technique that preserves the structure and bioactivity of PS. The type and dose of enzyme, and the liquid/solid (L/S) ratio in PS extraction were studied using four commercial enzymes. Four different doses per enzyme were used, with tartaric acid as solvent and L/S ratios of 1.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as versatile, sustainable media for the synthesis of nanomaterials due to their low toxicity, tunability, and biocompatibility. This study develops a one-step method to modify commercially available screen-printed electrodes (SPE) using laser-induced pyrolysis of DES, consisting of choline chloride and tartaric acid with dissolved nickel acetate and dispersed graphene. The electrodes were patterned using a 532 nm continuous-wave laser for the in situ formation of Ni nanoparticles decorated on graphene sheets directly on the SPE surface (Ni-G/SPE).

Bioactive compounds and organic acids are applied to a wide range of foods against different types of foodborne pathogens. In the present study, carvacrol and thymol (1000 mg/L) were applied in wine-based marinades, alone or in combination with them and in combination with tartaric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid (in concentration 0.1% /), in chicken and beef fillets and their antimicrobial activity, antioxidant capacity, and pH were estimated during refrigerated storage.

This study explores the green extraction of phenolic antioxidants from fruit using choline-chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional solvents. Sixteen DESs, prepared by combining choline chloride with various hydrogen bond donors, were characterized for their physical properties, including viscosity, polarity, and pH, and applied to extract phenolics from . High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantified key phenolic compounds, including neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acid, quercetin derivatives, and cyanidin derivatives, as well as total phenolic acids, flavanols, and anthocyanins.
