The Role of Voltammetric Analysis in the Wine Industry

Abstract

Voltammetry has been used in many industries and has been a popular method for food analysis in recent years. Its high sensitivity, rapid analysis, usability in a wide variety of concentrations and temperatures have positive potential in the wine industry. With standardized methods for food analysis being too work-intensive and time-consuming for the fast market demand, the main purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the possible benefits that voltammetry can provide to the wine industry. This review paper focused its discussion on the different voltammetric methods, parametric conditions, and electrochemical behavior of essential compounds from wine as the main substance of interest. In particular, the limit of detection (LOD), initial voltage peak, pH levels, working electrodes, and their respective reagents were taken into account to determine the applicable methods that can be utilized in the wine industry. This study could serve as a point of reference for future research into the topic.
