Determination of Alcohol by Volume (ABV) in wine and must
Alcohol content is the measurement of ethanol content in an alcoholic beverage. In wine constitutes an important quality parameter.
The determination of alcohol by volume with CDR WineLab® is simpler and faster than OIV method, OIV methods: it consists in a simple photometric reading and operates on a small sample of wine as is without any distillation.
The analysis has a high repeatibility and reliable. The results you obtain with CDR WineLab® are compliant with the results of OIV reference analytical methods.
The test allows to measure alcohol by volume (ABV) in vinegar, which is an important quality parameter.
Method
Principle of the test
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.
