Abstract

In the present work, 38 elements were quantified in the different fractions generated by applying amateur winemaking methods. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry was used as detection technique. Grapes were analyzed and separate metal profiles were also obtained for the skin and seeds. Additional vinification fractions included musts before and after the fermentation process. Meanwhile, solid fractions corresponded to the so-called hat, pressed pomace and the lees obtained after gravitational settling at the tank bottom. Wine was further analyzed. The obtained results revealed a different repartition depending on the particular element and winemaking solid and liquid fraction evaluated. The studies included vinification in presence and in absence of added yeast and grape geographical origin. Principal component analysis helped to discriminate among fractions and to determine the critical elements behaving differently. Finally, a mass balance allowed to unequivocally detect the migration of a given element to the winemaking fractions.
