Abstract

Chemical fingerprinting of phenolic compounds present in Finnish berry wines was performed using a direct-infusion Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). The main aim of this study was to compare the phenolics profiles of wines produced from natural and/or cultivated berries and to demonstrate the feasibility of FT-ICR MS for a direct chemical analysis of the wine samples without chromatographic separation. First, phenolic compounds were recovered from the wine samples by solid-phase extraction (SPE), and the total phenolic content (TPC) was then determined by a Folin-Ciocalteau assay. The TPC of the original berry wines varied from 421 to 2108 mg/L, while the TPC of the extracts was 157–1525 mg/L. Over fifty phenolic compounds were tentatively identified from the wine samples by FT-ICR MS, whose concentrations highly varied depending on the types of berries used in the winemaking process.
