High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV–Vis spectroscopy (HPLC–UV–Vis) is a common analysis method used to obtain the molecular profile of wine samples. We propose a complete procedure for the analysis of wine chromatograms. Data are pre-processed using standard methods of down-sampling, smoothing and baseline subtraction. Multiple samples are then merged in a three-dimensional tensor, decomposed using parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC2) into three factors: (i) one reduced (rank-one) chromatogram per sample, (ii) an estimate of the samples’ spectral UV–Vis profile and (iii) an estimate of the samples’ concentrations. If the decomposition is performed on a single peak of the tensor, the second and third factors correspond to the representative wavelength spectrum and to the relative concentrations of the samples, respectively. Otherwise, when multiple peaks are analysed, further processing is required. In the latter case, the decomposed rank-one chromatograms are peak-detected and aligned, clustered and integrated. A table containing the concentration of the peaks at different retention times is obtained. The pipeline proposed in this study is a guideline for a quantitative and reproducible chemical analysis of wine, or other samples, via the HPLC–UV–Vis method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":518,"journal":{"name":"Chromatographia","volume":"87 3","pages":"159 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10337-023-04301-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139482995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for quantification of MEL, CA, and PX in the same sample preparation.

The latter can significantly affect processing and end-use, in addition to having potentially hazardous health effects and to impacting the polymer’s export classification by regulatory agencies. Quantitation of the oligomeric region of polymers by size-exclusion chromatography with concentration-sensitive and/or static light scattering detection is complicated by the non-constancy of the specific refractive index increment (∂<i>n</i>/∂<i>c</i>) in this region, which affects the calculated amount (mass fraction) of oligomer in a polymer, molar mass averages, and related conclusions regarding macromolecular properties.
