CDR FoodLab® - Sistema di analisi per alimenti 1

Determination of L-Lactic acid in Wine and Must

By analyzing L-Malic acid and L-Lactic acid, it is possible to assess the correct progress of the malolactic fermentation.

With CDR WineLab®, the wine analysis system, the analytical method for the determination of L-Lactic Acid is simpler than the OIV method while based on the same principles.

Method

Test Principle

Enzymatic reaction involved in the determination of lactic acid in wine and must

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.
