CDR FoodLab® - Sistema di analisi per alimenti 1

Determination of L-Malic acid in Wine

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-Malic Acid is simpler than the OIV method while based on the same principles.

Method

Test Principle

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

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