Quantification of furanic derivatives in fortified wines by a highly sensitive and ultrafast analytical strategy based on digitally controlled microextraction by packed sorbent combined with ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography

The MEPSC8/UHPLC-PDA analytical strategy was successfully applied to analyze furanic derivates in 26 fortified Madeira wines from different types (D/MD, S/MS) and ages. The obtained results revealed the analytical strategy as a suitable tool which combines sensitivity, effectiveness, reduced analysis time and simple analytical procedure. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that fortified wines can be organized based on their age on PC1, which are mainly characterized by 5HMF.
