THE SANITARY-CHEMICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF CORKS article

In connection with the special requirements to the corks in winemaking, the odorometric and sanitary-chemical evaluation of the wine corks from different manufacturers has been carried out. We have used the method of gas-liquid chromatography for the research. The capability for migration from the corks such components as acetone and formaldehyde, sometimes in the significant сoncentrations, has been revealed. The analysis of the data indicates the presence at the market both «good» and «bad» manufacturers of wine corks.

Keywords: corks, sanitary-chemical investigations, gas chromatography.
