The L-Malic Acid (Liquid Ready Reagents) test kit is a rapid, simple, reliable and accurate method for the specific measurement and analysis of L-malic acid in wine, beverages, foodstuffs and other materials. Supplied as a “ready to use” liquid stable formulation that is suitable for auto-analyser and microplate formats.
Suitable for auto-analyser and microplate formats.
UV-method suitable for microplate and auto-analyser formats
for the determination of L-Malic Acid in foodstuffs, beverages
and other materials
Principle:
(L-malate dehydrogenase)
(1) L-Malic acid + NAD+ ↔ oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
(glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase)
(2) Oxaloacetate + L-glutamate → L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate
Kit size: 1100 assays (microplate)
/ 1100 (auto-analyser)
Method: Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
Reaction time: ~ 3 min
Detection limit: 166 mg/L (recommended format)
Application examples:
Wine, beer, fruit juices, soft drinks, candies, fruit and vegetables,
