In the present paper, a method for the determination of trans-resveratrol in red wine samples, by adsorptive stripping square-wave voltammetry (Ad-SSWV) in a glassy carbon electrode, is presented. In 0.10 M perchloric medium, trans-resveratrol experiments an adsorptive–oxidative process, which promotes the appearance of a peak at 0.72 V. Calibration graph have been constructed from 5.0 to 35 ng/mL. Detection limit of 4.2 ng/mL has been calculated, according to Clayton criterion. Extraction of trans-resveratrol from red wine with diethylether and posterior clean-up with C18 cartridges is carried out. Recovery percentages close to 100% have been calculated with different red wine samples. The accumulation of analyte in the electrode is carried out at +0.60 V for 60 s, in the presence of 0.10 M HClO4 and 10% of ethanol; the measurement stage is performed after a medium exchange, in 0.10 M HClO4 and 30% of ethanol. The standard addition method was employed for the analysis of real samples, since a matrix effect is observed in red wine extract. The method has been applied to several commercial red wines samples, and the results have been satisfactorily validated by HPLC.
