Abstract(s)
A flow injection system for the automatic determination
of total phosphorus in beer is described. The
developed manifold uses a two-stage photooxidation/thermal
digestion procedure together with oxidizing and hydrolyzing
reagents to convert all forms of phosphorus
compounds to orthophosphate. Polyphosphates are hydrolyzed
by acid and heat, and organo-phosphates are digested
by UV-catalyzed peroxodisulfate oxidation. The
orthophosphate formed is then spectrophotometrically determined
by the phosphomolybdenum blue reaction, using
stannous chloride as reducing agent. The results obtained
for a set of 19 beer samples (with concentrations from 120
to 735 mg P/L) were in good agreement with the reference
method, the maximum relative deviation found being
4.7%. Relative standard deviations for ten consecutive determinations
were lower than 1.5%, and a detection limit
of 1 mg P/L was achieved.
