Arsenic (Type-IV)
OIV-MA-AS323-01B Arsenic
Type IV method
- Principle
After mineralization, using sulfuric and nitric acids, arsenic V is reduced to arsenic III by means of potassium iodide in hydrochloric acid and the arsenic is transformed into arsenic III hydride (H3As) using sodium borohydride. The arsenic III hydride formed is carried by nitrogen gas and determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry at high temperature.
- Method
2.1. Apparatus
2.1.1. Kjeldahl flask (borosilicate glass)
2.1.2. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with arsenic hollow cathode lamp, hydride generator, background corrector and a chart recorder.
The hydride generator includes a reaction flask (which can eventually be put onto a magnetic stirrer) connected by a tube to a nitrogen gas supply (flow rate: 11 L/min) and by a second tube, to a quartz cell which can be brought to a temperature of 900 oC. The reaction flask also has an opening for the introduction of the reagent (borohydride).
2.2. Reagents
All reagents must be of recognized analytically pure quality, and in particular free of arsenic. Double distilled water prepared using a borosilicate glass flask or water of similar purity should be used.
2.2.1. Sulfuric acid (20= 1.84 g/mL) arsenic free
2.2.2. Nitric acid (20= 1.38 g/mL) arsenic free
2.2.3. Hydrochloric acid (20= 1.19 g/mL), arsenic free
2.2.4. 10% (m/v) Potassium iodide solution
2.2.5. 2.5% (m/v) Sodium borohydride solution obtained by dissolving 2.5 g of sodium borohydride in 100 mL of 4 % (m/v) of sodium hydroxide solution. This solution must be prepared at the time of use.
2.2.6. Arsenic reference solution 1 g/L. Use of a commercial standard arsenic solution is preferred.
Alternatively this solution can be prepared in a 1000 mL volumetric flask, by dissolving 1.320 g of arsenic III trioxide in a minimal volume of 20 % (m/v) sodium hydroxide. The solution is then acidified with hydrochloric acid, diluted 1/2, and made up to 1 liter with water.
2.3. Procedure
2.3.1. Mineralization
Place 20 mL of wine in a Kjeldahl flask, boil and reduce the volume by half to eliminate alcohol. Allow to cool. Add 5 mL sulfuric acid, and slowly add 5 mL nitric acid and heat. As soon as the liquid turns brown, add just enough nitric acid, dropwise, to lighten the liquid while simmering. Continue until the color clears and white sulfur trioxide fumes are formed above the solution.
Allow to cool, add 10 mL distilled water, bring back to the boil and simmer until nitrous oxide and sulfur trioxide fumes are no longer produced. Allow to cool and repeat the operation.
Allow to cool and dilute the sulfuric acid residue with a few milliliters of distilled water.Quantitatively transfer the solution into a 40 mL flask, and rinse the flask with water, combine with the diluted residue and make up to the mark with distilled water.
2.3.2. Determination
2.3.2.1. Preparation of the solution
Place 10 mL of the mineralization solution (2.3.1) into the hydride generator reactor flask. Add 10 mL hydrochloric acid, 1.5 mL potassium iodide solution, then switch on the magnetic stirrer and the nitrogen gas (flow rate: 11 L/minute). After 10 sec, add 5 mL of sodium borohydride solution. The hydride vapor obtained is immediately carried to the measurement cell (at a temperature of 900C) by nitrogen carrier gas, where dissociation of the compound and arsenic atomization occurs.
2.3.2.2. Preparation of standard solutions
From the arsenic reference solution (2.2.6), prepare dilutions having concentrations of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 micrograms of arsenic per liter respectively. Place 10 mL of each of the prepared solutions into the reactor flask of the hydride generator and analyze according to 2.3.2.1.
2.3.2.3. Measurements
Select an absorption wavelength of 193.7 nm. Zero the spectrophotometer using double distilled water and carry out all determinations in duplicate. Record the absorbance of each sample and standard solution. Calculate the average absorbance for each of these solutions.
2.4. Expression of results
2.4.1. Calculation
Plot the curve showing the variation in absorbance as a function of the arsenic concentration in the standard solutions. The relationship is linear. Note the average absorbance of the sample solutions on the graph and read the arsenic concentration C.
The arsenic concentration in wine, expressed in micrograms per liter is given by: 2 C.

Type II method
- Field of application
This method can be applied to the analysis of total nitrogen in musts and wine within the range of 0 to 1000 mg/l.
- Description of the technique
2.1. Principle of the Dumas method
The analysis of total nitrogen in an organic matrix can be carried out using the Dumas method (1831). This involves a total combustion of the matrix under oxygen. The gases produced are reduced by copper and then dried, while the CO2 is trapped. The nitrogen is then quantified using a universal detector.
2.2. Principle of the analysis (Figure n° 1)
- Injection of the sample and oxygen in the combustion tube at 940°C (1);
- « Flash » Combustion (2);
- The combustion of the gathering ring (3) brings the temperature temporarily up to 1800°C;
- Complementary oxidation and halogen trappings on silver cobalt and granular chromium sesquioxide (4);
- Reduction of nitrogen oxides in N2 and trapping sulphur components and excess oxygen by copper at 700°C (5);
- Gases in helium include: N2, CO2 and H2O (6);
- Trapping unmeasured elements: H2O using anhydrone (granular anhydrous magnesium perchlorate) (7) and CO2 by ascarite (sodium hydroxide on silica) (8);
- Chromatography separation of nitrogen and methane possibly present following very large trial uptake (9);
- Catharometer detection (10);
- Signal gathering and data processing (11).

- Procedure
Place in the 300 mL Kjeldahl flask (2.1), 25 mL of wine, 2 g benzoic acid (3.2) and 10 mL sulfuric acid (3.1). Add 2 to 3 g of catalyst. With the flask placed on a metal disc mantle (2.1) and with the neck inclined at 45 degrees, heat until a clear color is obtained. Then heat for another 3 minutes.
After cooling, carefully transfer the contents of the Kjeldahl flask to a 1 liter round bottomed flask containing 30 mL water. Rinse the Kjeldahl flask several times with water and add washings to the round-bottomed flask. Cool the flask; add 1 drop of 1% phenolphthalein solution and a sufficient quantity of 30% sodium hydroxide solution (3.4) to ensure the solution is alkaline (40 mL approximately) making sure to cool the flask constantly during this addition. Distil 200 - 250 mL into a flask containing 30 mL of 40 g/L boric acid solution.
Titrate the distilled ammonia in the presence of 5 drops of indicator (3.6) using 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution.
Note: A control trainer by vapor can be used as described in the Chapter on volatile acidity to obtain a quick ammonia distillation. In this case, successively place 40 to 45 ml of 30% sodium hydroxide liquor and 50 to 60 ml of previously diluted for 10 minutes contents of the Kjeldahl flask before introducing into the mixer.
- Calculation
The total nitrogen, in g/L, contained in the wine is given by: 0.56 x n where n is the volume of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid.
- Blank tests and sample tests
a) All distillation apparatus used to determine ammonia must satisfy the following tests:
Place in a distillation flask 40 ‑ 45 mL of sodium hydroxide solution, 50 mL water, 2 g benzoic acid, 5 g potassium sulfate and 10 mL sulfuric acid diluted to 50 mL. Distil 200 mL and collect the distillate in 30 mL of 40 g/L boric acid solution, to which 5 drops of indicator (3.6) are added. A change of color of the indicator must be obtained by adding 0.1 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution.
b) Under similar conditions distill 10 mL of 0.1 M ammonium sulfate solution. In this case, between 10.0 and 10.1 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution, must be used to change the color of the indicator.
c) The complete method (wet ashing and distillation) is checked using 200 mg tryptophan as the initial sample. Between 19.5 to 19.7 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid must be used to obtain the change of color.
Boron (Type-IV)
OIV-MA-AS323-03 Boron (Rapid Colorimetric Method)
Type IV method
- Principle
The alcohol content of the wine is removed by reducing the volume by half by rotary evaporation. The wine is then passed through a column of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, which retains the coloring agents. The eluate is collected quantitatively and the boron concentration determined by complexation with azomethine H at pH 5.2 followed by spectroscopic analysis at 420 nm.
- Apparatus
2.1. Rotary evaporator
2.2. Spectrophotometer capable of measuring absorbance wavelengths between 300 and 700 nm
2.3. Cells of 1 cm optical path
Glass column of 1 cm internal diameter and 15 cm in length containing an 8 cm layer of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone.
- Reagents
3.1. Azomethin H (4‑hydroxy‑5‑(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)- 2,7‑napthalenedisulfonic acid)
3.2. Azomethin H solution
Place 1 g of azomethin H and 2 g of ascorbic acid in a 100 mL volumetric flask and add 50 mL double distilled water. Warm slightly to dissolve and make up to the mark with double distilled water. The reagent is stable for 2 days if kept cold.
3.3. Buffer solution pH 5.2
Dissolve 3g of EDTA (disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) in 150 mL of double distilled water. Add 125 mL acetic acid (ρ20 = 1.05 g/mL) and 250 g of ammonium acetate, , and dissolve. Check the pH with a pH meter and adjust if necessary to pH 5.2.
3.4. Boron stock standard solution, 100 mg/L
Use of a commercial standard solution is preferable. Alternatively this solution can be prepared by dissolving 0.571 g of boric acid,, dried beforehand at 50 oC until constant weight, in 500 mL double distilled water and made up to 1 liter.
3.5. Boron standard solution, 1 mg/L
Dilute the stock solution, 100 mg/L (3.4) 1/100 with double distilled water.
Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone or PVPP (see International Enological Codex)
- Procedure
Eliminate alcohol from 50 mL of wine by concentration to half the original volume in a rotary evaporator at 40oC and make up to 50 mL with double distilled water.
Take 5 mL of this solution and pass it through the PVPP column (2.4). The coloring agents are completely retained. Collect the eluate and the rinsing waters from the column and place in a 50 mL volumetric flask and make up to the mark with water.
The colorimetric determination is performed in a volume of 5 mL of eluent placed in a 25 mL volumetric flask; dilute to approximately 15 mL with double distilled water and add the following (stirring after each addition):
- 5 mL of azomethin H solution (3.2)
- 4 mL of pH 5.2 buffer solution (3.3)
Make up to 25 mL with double distilled water.
Wait 30 min and determine the absorbance As, at 420 nm. The zero of the absorbance scale is set using distilled water.
Use a blank consisting of 5 mL of azomethin H solution and 4 mL of pH 5.2 buffer solution in 25 mL of double distilled water. Wait 30 min and read the absorbance Ab under the same conditions. The absorbance must be between 0.20 and 0.24; a higher absorbance demonstrates boron contamination in the water or the reagents.
Preparation of the calibration curve
In 25 mL volumetric flasks, place 1 to 10 g of boron, corresponding to 1 to 10 mL of boron standard solution 1 mg/L (3.5) and continue as indicated in 4.0. The calibration graph representing the net absorbance (- ) in relation to the concentration is a straight line passing through the origin.
Where:
- = absorbance of sample
= absorbance of blank
- Calculations
The μg of boron contained in 5 mL of eluate, (corresponding to 0.5 mL of wine) obtained from interpolating the net absorbance values of () on the calibration graph is E. The content, B, in milligrams of boron per liter is given by:

Free Sulfur dioxide (titrimetry) (Type-IV)
OIV-MA-AS323-04A1 Free sulphur dioxide
Type IV method
- Scope
This method is for the determination of free sulphur dioxide in wine and must.
- Definitions
Free sulphur dioxide is defined as the sulphur dioxide present in the must or wine in the following forms: and , whose equilibrium is dependent on pH and temperature:
|
represents the molecular sulphur dioxide.
- Principle
Sulphur dioxide is entrained by a current of air or nitrogen, and is fixed and oxidised by bubbling through a dilute and neutral solution of hydrogen peroxide. The sulphuric acid formed is determined by titration with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide.
The quantity of sulphur dioxide entrained being strongly temperature dependent, the decision was made to work at room temperature (between 18 and 24°C). This temperature, as for that of the currents of air or nitrogen, should be kept constant throughout the determination.

Reagents and products
- Pure phosphoric acid at 85% (ρ20 = 1.71 g/mL) (CAS no. 7664-38-2)
- Diluted phosphoric acid (25.5%):
By way of example: Dilute 300 mL of phosphoric acid at 85% (4.1) in 1 L of water for analytical use
4.3. Indicator reagent:
Methyl red (CAS no. 493-52-7): 100 mg (1 mg)
Methylene blue (CAS no. 7220-79-3) 50 mg (0.5 mg)
Ethanol ( 95%) (CAS no. 64-17-5) 50 mL
Make up to 100 mL with water for analytical use. Respect the proportions for the volumes that differ from 100 mL.
Commercial indicator reagents with the same composition may be used.
4.4. 1 M Sodium hydroxide (3.84%) or in anhydrous form (pellets) (CAS no. 1310-73-2)
4.5. 0.01 M Sodium hydroxide solution:
By way of example: Dilute 10.0 mL of 1 M sodium hydroxide (4.4) in 1 L of water for analytical use.
If necessary, check the titre of the solution regularly (correction factor to be applied) and keep it away from atmospheric CO2.
4.6. Hydrogen peroxide solution in 3 volumes (= 9.1 g/L = 0.27 mol/L :), prepared or commercial (e.g. 30% : mixture with CAS no. 7722-84-1)
Note: A solution of 30% by mass corresponds to a titre of 110 volumes (ρ20 1,11 g/mL), implying the volume of oxygen ideally released per litre of under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, while a solution of 3% by mass (ρ20 1 g/mL) corresponds to a titre of 10 volumes (0.89 mol/L). The preparation thus depends on the commercial solution used, considering that in any case the volume used in the method will be in excess.
- Apparatus
The apparatus to be used should conform to the diagram below, especially with regard to the condenser.
The gas supply tube to bubbler B ends in a small sphere of 1 cm in diameter with 20 holes of 0.2 mm in diameter around its largest horizontal circumference. Alternatively, this tube may end in a sintered glass plate that produces a large number of very small bubbles and thus ensures good contact between the liquid and gaseous phases.
The gas flow through the apparatus should be approximately 40 L/h. The bottle situated on the right of the apparatus is intended to restrict the pressure reduction produced by the water pump to 20-30 cm water. In order to regulate the pressure reduction to achieve the proper flow rate, it is preferable to install a flow meter with a semi-capillary tube between the bubbler and the bottle.
Flask A should be kept at a temperature of between 18°C and 24°C throughout aspiration. Each flask should consequently be temperature-controlled (e.g. using a thermostatic bath) if the room temperature of the laboratory is not within these limits or if 85% phosphoric acid is used, which can significantly increase the temperature in the flask during addition.
Figure 1- The dimensions are indicated in milimetres. The internal diameters of the 4 concentric tubes that make up the condenser are 45,34, 27 and 10 mm |
|
- Procedure
Air- or nitrogen-rinsing the apparatus before each new determination (e.g. for 5 minutes) is recommended. If a blank test is carried out, the colour of the indicator in the neutralised hydrogen peroxide solution at the exit of the gas-supply tube should not change.
Connect the water from the condenser.
Control the laboratory temperature or stabilise the bath in advance (at between 18 °C and 24 °C).
In bubbler B of the entrainment apparatus, introduce 2-3 mL hydrogen peroxide solution (4.6) and 2 drops of indicator reagent (4.3), and neutralise with the 0.01 M sodium hydroxide solution (4.5); a neutral pH = green colour.
Note: For large sample series, it is also possible to prepare an already neutralised solution before introducing it into the flask. Adapt the concentrations and volumes accordingly, bearing in mind that the oxidative power of the solution must be maintained (reduced shelf life).
Adapt this bubbler to the apparatus.
Transfer 50 mL of sample to the 250-mL flask A and attach it to the apparatus.
Introduce 15 mL of diluted phosphoric acid (4.2) into bulb C.
Note: If the expected concentration of free sulphur dioxide is higher than 50 mg/L, it is necessary to use phosphoric acid at 85% (4.1). However, ensure that the temperature in flask A does not increase during addition.
Open the tap to add the acid to the sample while simultaneously starting the gas flow and setting the timer to 15 minutes. The entrained free sulphur dioxide is oxidised into sulphuric acid.
After 15 minutes, take bubbler B out and rinse the gas supply tube in water (via the socket).
Titrate the acid formed by the 0.01 M sodium hydroxide solution (4.5) up to the green bend.
The number of millilitres used is expressed by n.
- Calculation and expression of results
The free sulphur dioxide is expressed in milligrams per litre (mg/L), in whole numbers.
Calculation: Free sulphur dioxide in milligrams per litre: 6.4 n

- Protocol
A total of 20 samples were prepared using homogeneous volumes of 10 wines from various wine regions in France and Portugal. Each sample was made up twice (the second as a blind duplicate), according to the double-blind principle.
The samples were prepared between 18 and 20 June 2018, then shipped without delay to the participating laboratories.

Total Sulfur dioxide (titrimetry) (Type-II)
OIV-MA-AS323-04A2 Total sulphur dioxide
Type II method
- Scope
This method is for the determination of total sulphur dioxide in wine and must.
- Definitions
Total sulphur dioxide is defined as the sum of all of the different forms of sulphur dioxide present in the wine in free form or bound to the wine’s constituents.
- Principle
Sulphur dioxide is aspirated by a current of air or nitrogen, and is captured and oxidised by bubbling through a dilute and neutral solution of hydrogen peroxide. The sulphuric acid formed is determined by titration with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide.
The total sulphur dioxide is extracted from the wine by aspiration at high temperature (around 100 °C).

Reagents and products
- Pure phosphoric acid at 85% (ρ20 = 1.71 g/mL) (CAS no. 7664-38-2)
- Indicator reagent:
Methyl red (CAS no. 493-52-7) 100 mg (1 mg)
Methylene blue (CAS no. 7220-79-3): 50 mg (0.5 mg)
Ethanol (≥ 95%) (CAS no. 64-17-5): 50 mL
Make up to 100 mL with water for analytical use. Respect the proportions for the volumes that differ from 100 mL.
Commercial indicator reagents with the same composition may be used.
4.3. 1 M Sodium hydroxide (3.84%) or in anhydrous form (pellets) (CAS no. 1310-73-2)
4.4. 0.01 M Sodium hydroxide solution:
By way of example: Dilute 10.0 mL of 1 M sodium hydroxide (4.4) in 1 L of water for analytical use.
If necessary, check the titre of the solution regularly (correction factor to be applied) and keep it away from atmospheric CO2.
4.5. Hydrogen peroxide solution in 3 volumes (= 9.1 g/L = 0.27 mol/L H2O2), prepared or commercial (e.g. 30% : mixture with CAS no. 7722-84-1)
Note: A solution of 30% by mass corresponds to a titre of 110 volumes (ρ20 1,11 g/mL), implying the volume of oxygen ideally released per litre of under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, while a solution of 3% by mass (ρ20 1 g/mL) corresponds to a titre of 10 volumes (0.89 mol/L). The preparation thus depends on the commercial solution used, considering that in any case the volume used in the method will be in excess.
- Apparatus
The apparatus to be used should conform to the diagram below, especially with regard to the condenser.
The gas supply tube to bubbler B ends in a small sphere of 1 cm in diameter with 20 holes of 0.2 mm in diameter around its largest horizontal circumference. Alternatively, this tube may end in a sintered glass plate that produces a large number of very small bubbles and thus ensures good contact between the liquid and gaseous phases.
The gas flow through the apparatus should be approximately 40 L/h. The bottle situated on the right of the apparatus is intended to restrict the pressure reduction produced by the water pump to 20-30 cm water. In order to regulate the pressure reduction to achieve the proper flow rate, it is preferable to install a flow meter with a semi-capillary tube between the bubbler and the bottle. For the determination of total sulphur dioxide, using a burner (with a 4-5 cm high flame or infrared) allowing for boiling point to be reached very quickly is preferable. Do not place a wire gauze under flask A, but rather a deflector with a 2-4 cm orifice. The pyrogenation of non-volatile matter in the wine on the flask walls is thus avoided.
Use a 250-mL flask for a 50 mL sample and a 100-150 mL flask for a 20 mL sample.
Figure 1 : The dimensions are indicated in millimetres. The internal diameters of the 4 concentric tubes that make up the condenser are 45, 34, 27 and 10 mm |
|
- Procedure
Air- or nitrogen-rinsing the apparatus before each new determination (e.g. for 5 minutes) is recommended. If a blank test is carried out, the colour of the indicator in the neutralised hydrogen peroxide solution at the exit of the gas-supply tube should not change.
Connect the water from the condenser.
In bubbler B of the entrainment apparatus, introduce 2-3 mL hydrogen peroxide solution (4.5) and 2 drops of indicator reagent (4.2), and neutralise with the 0.01 M sodium hydroxide solution (4.4); a neutral pH = green colour.
Note: For large sample series, it is also possible to prepare an already neutralised solution before introducing it into the flask. Adapt the concentrations and volumes accordingly, bearing in mind that the oxidative power of the solution must be maintained (reduced shelf life).
Adapt this bubbler to the apparatus.
Transfer 50 mL of sample to flask A if the presumed total SO2 content in the sample is <50 mg/L, and 20 mL of sample if the presumed total SO2 content is ≥ 50 mg/L and attach it to the apparatus.
Introduce 15 mL of phosphoric acid (4.1) into bulb C if the presumed total SO2 content of the sample is <50 mg/L and 5 mL phosphoric acid (4.1) if the presumed total SO2 content of the sample is 50 mg/L.
Open the tap to add the acid to the sample and activate the heat source, while simultaneously starting the gas flow and setting the timer to 15 minutes. Maintain at boiling point for the duration of the gas flow. The entrained total sulphur dioxide is oxidised into sulphuric acid.
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat source, take bubbler B out, and rinse the gas supply tube (via the socket) with water.
Titrate the acid formed by the 0.01 M sodium hydroxide solution (4.4) up to the green bend.
The number of millilitres used is expressed by n.
- Calculations and expression of results
The total sulphur dioxide is expressed in milligrams per litre (mg/L), in whole numbers.
Calculations:
Samples low in sulphur dioxide (50 mL sampling): 6.4 n
Other samples (20 mL sampling): 16 n
- Precision
8.1. Repeatability (r)
Content < 50 mg/L (50 mL sampling), r = 1 mg/L
Content 50 mg/L (20 mL sampling), r = 6 mg/L
8.2. Reproducibility (R)
Content < 50 mg/L (50 mL sampling), R = 9 mg/L
Content 50 mg/L (20 mL sampling), R = 15 mg/L
