I terpeni glucosilati sono metaboliti secondari non volatili che si ottengono dalla glicosilazione dei terpeni all’interno delle piante d’uva. Questi rappresentano la riserva di aroma di un vino, perciò rivestono un ruolo di primaria importanza nella qualità del prodotto finale. In questo elaborato viene validato un metodo per quantificare cinque di questi composti, in particolare L-Linalolo Glucoside, Nerolo Glucoside, Geraniolo Glucoside, α-Terpineolo Glucoside e Citronellolo Glucoside nel vino. La strumentazione impiegata, di proprietà della Fondazione Edmund Mach, è un’Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography a cui segue spettrometria di massa con analizzatore triplo quadrupolo abbinata alla tecnica della Differential Mobility Spectrometry. Quest’ultima permette di filtrare gli ioni in ingresso nell’analizzatore di massa sfruttando la differente mobilità ionica delle diverse molecole in campi elettrici forti e deboli asimmetrici. Tra i cinque composti analizzati, di cui verrà anche tentata la sintesi, i primi quattro sono infatti uno isomero dell’altro che presentano gli stessi ioni precursori e frammento nell’analizzatore a triplo quadrupolo. La Differential Mobility Spectrometry è quindi utilizzata per differenziare gli ioni precursori con stesso rapporto m/z. Infine, nella validazione del metodo verranno costruite le rette di calibrazione esterna con degli standard commerciali per valutare l’intervallo di linearità, il coefficiente di determinazione, l’effetto matrice, i limiti di rilevamento e quantificazione, la precisione e le incertezze sulle misure.

Abstract
Glucosylated terpenes are non-volatile secondary metabolites obtained from the glycosylation of terpenes within grape plants. These represent the aroma reserve of wine and therefore play a primary role in the quality of the final product. This paper therefore validates a method for quantifying five of these compounds such as L-Linalool Glucoside, Nerol Glucoside, Geraniol Glucoside, α-Terpineol Glucoside and Citronellol Glucoside in wine. The instrumentation used, owned by “Fondazione Edmund Mach”, is an Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography followed by mass spectrometry with a triple quadrupole analyzer combined with the Differential Mobility Spectrometry technique. The latter allows filtering of the ions entering in the mass analyzer by exploiting the different ionic mobility of different molecules in strong and weak asymmetric electric fields. Of the five compounds analyzed, whose synthesis of which will also be attempted, the first four are isomers of one another which show the same precursor and fragment ions in the triple quadrupole analyzer. Differential Mobility Spectrometry is therefore used to differentiate the different precursor ions with the same m/z ratio. Lastly, for the method validation the external calibration curves are made with commercial standards to evaluate the linearity range, the determination coefficient, the matrix effect, the limits of detection and quantification, the precision and the uncertainties on the measurements.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
