Determination of the Acetic acid in cider

CDR CiderLab: the analysis system for cider to perform quality and process controlsAcetic acid, often referred to volatile acidity, can be produced by several yeasts and bacteria present in cider. It may form during fermentation, secondary product, or during storage due to the deterioration of finished cider.

The calibration curve of CDR CiderLab, obtained using reference methods.

Acetic Acidity Test in Cider

Test Principle

Acetic acid + ATP + PEP + NADH reazione-acido-acetico ADP + D-Lactic acid + NAD+

Through an enzymatic reaction, acetic acid is converted into piruvic acid, which in turn reacts with NADH producing NAD+ and D-Lactic acid.
The reduction of absorbance, measured at 366 nm (end-point), of the NADH solution is proportional to the quantity of acetic acid present in the sample.

Reagent test Kits

The reagents are packaged in foil pouches containing 10 tubes useful to perform 10 analyses.

This is the minimum package that allows the use of CDR systems even to those who need to make a few analyses, thus not wasting reagents.

There are also boxes of 100 tests, however, packaged in 10 bags of 10 tubes containing the reagent.

Code *300360: The kit, designed for 10 tests 

Code *300359: The kit, designed for 100 tests 

The reagents have a shelf-life of 8 months.

With the CDR system, you can perform your tests in total autonomy

Neither skilled staff nor a dedicated external laboratory is needed to use our systems. CDR FoodLab® optimizes traditional testing methods, making them faster and easier, while guaranteeing accuracy standards in line with the reference methods.

Analytical kit

CDR FoodLab® Analysis Systems use disposable pre-vialed reagents specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR. The use of pre-vialed reagents and the analytical procedures allow:

  • a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
  • making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
  • removing all needs for complex calibration procedures.

Reagents come in aluminum packages containing 10 test tubes each to perform 10 tests (or packages for 100 tests containing 10 single packages of 10 test tubes each).

Just a few steps and results are yielded right away

Just a few steps will suffice to carry out your analysis in a rapid way in total autonomy. The system is composed of both the analyzer based on photometric technology and a kit of low toxicity, pre-vialed reagents, developed by CDR.

CDR FoodLab® is cost-effective because it does not require the use of expensive equipment and does not entail maintenance, assistance or calibration costs.
