Determination of glycerol in wine and must

Among the polyalcohols which are formed during the fermentation there are mannitol, sorbitol, butylene glycol and glycerol. The latter is particularly interesting because the wine can be present with values ranging between 5-18 g/L and is also produced in large quantities by noble rot during the production of passito wines. This explains the softness and elegance of this type of wine.

Are possible test sessions with several samples, up to a maximum of 16.
It is also possible to calibrate the system aligning test to a reference value

Calibration curve

The calibration curve of CDR WineLab^® , obtained using reference methods.

Test Principle

The glycerol reacts, by an enzyme, with a phenolic derivative and induces the formation of a complex pink color whose intensity, measured at 505 nm, is directly proportional to the concentration of glycerol in the sample. The result is expressed in g / L.

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. *300515: 10 tests 

Code. *300520 : 100 tests (10 packages of 10 tests)

The reagents have a shelf-life of 12 months
