Toxic trace metals in food. II. A comparative study of the levels of toxic trace metals in wine by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.
A new high-performance analytical procedure for the determination of the toxic trace metals cadmium, lead and copper in wines by differential pulse anodic-stripping voltammetry (DPASV) subsequent to UV irradiation of the sample is compared with the hitherto more common application of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). In this manner also mutually the accuracy attainable with both alternatives has been established. The particularly favourable potentialities of the new voltammetric approach for toxic metal control of wines are demonstrated by the investigation of a typical selection of 36 wines from recent vintages and common vine types of the German and some European wine cultivating regions.
