Abstract

The mineral (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, Cr, Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn, As and Pb) content of homemade white wines from Transylvania were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results showed that all studied metals were below the maximum acceptable limits set both by the Romanian legislation and the International Organisation of Vine and Wine, except Cu and Zn in one sample. The high Cu, Mn and Zn contents found in one sample is probably as a consequence of the intensive use of metal based pesticides.
