CDR DrinkLab

Test type: End Point.
Testing time: [uni].
Analysis sessions with multiple samples are possible up to a maximum of 16 tests for CDR DrinkLab.

Method

The sample must be centrifuged (code 222061) before the analysis.

Sample treatment

L-malic acid is oxidized in an alkaline environment through an enzymatic reaction and converted to oxaloacetic acid, which in turn produces NADH. The increase in absorbance, measured at 366 nm (end-point), is directly proportional to the concentration of L-malic acid in the sample.

Principle of the test

Enzymatic reaction involved in the determination of malic acid in cider, wine and kombucha

The calibration curve of the CDR DrinkLab system, carried out using HPLC as a reference method, confirmed excellent linearity of the system throughout the measurement range.
