Fast-SEC coupled to ICP-MS for selected metal determination and its stability over time in polish wine
PublicationMetal ions contribute to the wine browning (as reaction catalysts), turbidity (in complexes), and astringency (due to inter- action with tannins). Being aware that bioavailability and metabolism of metal ions in the human body are strictly related with their concentration and the form they occur it is important to monitor not only the total content of metals but also their speciation. Thus, we can obtain more information about...
