Sugar and Acid Analysis

Enzymatic tests are widely used as analytical tools for the determination of sugars, acids, alcohols and a few other food components in products such as fruit juices, wine, beer, dairy products, egg and meat.

Enzymatic assays are very specific and can be used even for complex matrices. The tests are based on high-quality enzymes, enabling precise and specific measurement of each compound, even in complex matrices. Results are measured with a spectrophotometer and automation is possible.

R-Biopharm Indonesia offer a variety of test systems for enzymatic analyses, including the international reference method “Yellow Line” by Roche, the Enzytec™ product lines “Generic“, “Color“, “Fluid” and “Liquid” as well as test kits for the convenient on-site biochemistry analyzer RIDA^®CUBE SCAN.

Sugar Determination

Whether beverages, dairy products, dietary foods or confectionery: Enzymatic tests can quickly and precisely determine the content of sugars such as glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose or maltose. Click on one of the following sugars to learn more about it and its relevance in food production.

Parameters:

D-Glucose, D-Glucose / D-Fructose, Lactose / D-Galactose, Maltose / Sucrose / D-Glucose, Raffinose, Starch, Sucrose / D-Glucose, Sucrose / Glucose / Fructose.

Acid Determination

Determination of organic acids such as citric acid, lactic acid or acetic acid is particularly important in the production of wine, beer and other beverages. Some acids may spoil the product, others are used as additives, and still others are important quality indicators.

Parameters:

Acetic acid, L-Ascorbic acid, Citric acid, Formic acid, Gluconic acid, L-Glutamic acid, D-3-Hydroxybutyric acid, D-Isocitric acid, L-Lactic acid, D-Lactic acid, L-Malic acid, D-Malic acid, Succinic acid and Tartaric acid
