Abstract A direct measuring method for the determination of 15 inorganic components in wine by ICP-OES was
developed. It was applied to 17 white wines from 6 German wine-growing regions. In these investigations 15 elements (B, V, Mn, Zn, Fe, Al, Cu, Sr, Ba, Rb, Na, P, Ca,
Mg and K) were involved. By using alcoholic calibration
solutions the results of the direct measuring method are
comparable with those of the control methods. Typical
patterns of elements obtained by the multicomponent
analyses can be evaluated by multivariate data analysis to
recognize the origin of the wines.

2.1 Samples
The investigation included 17 white wines from 6 German winegrowing regions. All information regarding the analysed samples
is summarized in Table 1.
1 Introduction
2.2 Apparatus
The ICP-spectrometers Maxim I (Fisons Instruments) and Plasmaquant 110 (Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH) were used.
The Maxim I is equipped with an axially-viewed plasma
source. The instruments optical system comprises an argon-rinsed
echelle grating/prism spectrometer in double 0.5 m Czerny-Turner
mounting. The available wavelength range is from 174 nm to 800
nm. There are 67 lines of 51 elements. The dispersed radiation is
focused onto a mask with 67 exit slits, which are connected with a
light-conducting fibre. The Maxim I has 11 thermally stabilized
photomultipliers. Eight of these are joined with the light-conducting fibres by means of a shutter mechanism. The signals they carry
are sequentially registered. Three lines in VUV range are linked
together directly with a photomultiplier.
Unlike the Maxim I the Plasmaquant 110 has a vertically
aligned torch. It too has an echelle spectrometer, whose wavelength-range is from 193 nm to 852 nm. There are 138 lines of 74
elements. Each of the 12 photomultipliers can observe 5 of the 138
lines through lightconducting fibres linked to the focal plane. The
principle employed here allows the analyst to combine spectral
lines as required, and the problem of analysis is optimally addressed. The parameters of the analytical program and the wavelengths used can be found in Tables 2 and 3.

added to the sample to ensure that the residue does not evaporate
to dryness. The remaining residue is mixed with bidistilled water
up to its starting volume. These solutions are analyzed with the
ICP-OES [8, 9].
Using the direct measuring method the samples are analyzed
without any pretreatment. However the calibration standard matrix
must be matched to the samples using ethanol, in order to compensate for intensity differences caused by viscosity influences of
the organic components during sample nebulization. This results in
standard solutions of analytes, which contain 12% or in the case of
mineral elements 1.2% ethanol. In both methods the calibration
range is from 0 to 10 mg/L, for the mineral elements to 50 mg/L
and for the more highly concentrated element potassium to 100
mg/L.
The standard addition method involves two standards. The addition of the first standard should double the concentration of the
analytes in the sample and the other should triple it. The required
concentration of the standard solutions is estimated with the help
of the results taken from the calibrated methods. The analytes are
added to the samples to be treated in alternating concentrations.
After adding the standard solution the original sample and the
treated samples have an equal final volume.
To determine the mineral elements, the sample solutions must
be diluted independent of the applied method, in order to work
within the linear calibration range. To determine the alkali metal

4 Conclusion
The investigation undertaken has shown that direct analysis of mineral and trace elements in wine using ICP-OES
is possible in spite of some problems. This is proven particularly by the short time necessary for sample pretreatment and the high level of measurement precision. One
requirement, however, is that calibration be achieved with
standard solutions containing ethanol. By doing this, intensity differences caused by viscosity influence of the organic components during sample nebulization can be
compensated. In some cases it is possible to explain systematic differences between the direct method under evaluation and the established reference methods. The applicability of the direct method becomes clear in that the results achieved in this way are mostly between those of the
comparative methods.
