This sensory material is straightforward and inexpensively prepared; it requires no monomer synthesis, is based on 100% commercially available monomers, and contains benzenediazonium salt motifs, which in the presence of phenols and/or polyphenol-based structures produce coloured diazo compounds. These sensory motifs are chemically anchored to the polymeric structure, and, accordingly, no migration of organic substances from the material occurs in the sensing process. Our method needs neither reagents nor sample pretreatment and has been contrasted with the standard TPI determination, i.e., measuring the absorbance of diluted wine at 280 nm, obtaining reliable data for white and red wines.
