Abstract: | 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. |
