With CDR FoodLab® you can determine easily and quickly the alcohol percentage of the bakery products and baked goods in order to verify the compliance with the law.
Moreover, with CDR FoodLab® it is possible to determine the alcohol concentration of the alcoholic solutions used as preservative and antibacterial agent.
The Analyzers CDR FoodLab® for a complete quality control on bakery products, baked goods, snacks and spreads.
The system is supplied pre-calibrated and ready for use.
Results are expressed in accordance with the reference method.
The analytical methods are simple: the system does not require an equipped laboratory or skilled staff. You can perform the test even at production line.

Method
Test type: End Point.
Time testing: one test 6 minutes.
Are possible test sessions with several samples, up to a maximum of 16.
Correlation curve
The CDR FoodLab® results are reliable as they are correlated to those once obtained by the reference method. The graph below shows the great correlation between CDR FoodLab® and the reference method.
Test Principle
Ethanol + NAD+ 
Acetic Aldehyde + NADH
Ethanol is oxidized in an alkaline environment through an enzymatic reaction and converted in acetic aldehyde in presence of NAD+, which in turns produces NADH. The increase of the absorbance, measured at 366 nm (end-point) is directly proportional to the concentration of ethanol 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 *300606: 10 tests
Code *300608: 100 tests
The reagents have a shelf-life of 6 months
Sample Processing
Finished product: add to a defined amount of grinded product the quantity of distilled water indicated in the method that brings the alcohol in solution. After an easy centrifugation you obtain a limpid solution that can be analysed.
