Determination of L-Lactic acid in Cider
By analyzing L-Malic acid and L-Lactic acid, it is possible to assess the correct progress of the malolactic fermentation.
The CDR CiderLab analytical method for the determination of L-Lactic Acid in cider simplifies and speeds up the reference method even if it is based on the same principles.
Method
Test Principle
L-Lactic acid is oxidized in an alkaline environment through an enzymatic reaction and converted into pyruvate, which is turn produces NADH. The increase of absorbance, measured at 366 nm (end-point), is directly proportional to the concentration of L-Lactic acid in the sample.
Calibration curve
The CDR CiderLab calibration curve, obtained using reference methods, confirms the excellent linearity of the system over the entire measurement range.
