Determination of L-Malic Acid in Soft Drinks

Measuring malic acid in soft drinks is essential to control product quality, taste, and compliance.

Method

Sample treatment

Degas using the ultrasonic bath (code 222062) before taking the sample.

Principle of the test

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.
