A simple method for the rapid and reliable measurement of acetic acid/acetate in foods, beverages and other materials. Content:53 assays per kit
Manual format UV-method for the determination of Acetic Acid in foodstuffs, beverages and other materials
Principle:
(acetyl-CoA synthetase)
(1) Acetic acid + ATP + CoA → acetyl-CoA + AMP + pyrophosphate
(citrate synthase)
(2) Acetyl-CoA + oxaloacetate + H2O → citrate + CoA
(L-malate dehydrogenase)
(3) L-Malate + NAD+ ↔ oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
Kit size: 53 assays
Method: Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
Reaction time: ~ 14 min
Detection limit: 0.14 mg/L
Application examples:
Wine, beer, fruit and fruit juices, soft drinks, vinegar, vegetables,
pickles, dairy products (e.g. cheese), meat, fish, bread, bakery products
(and baking agents), ketchup, soy sauce, mayonnaise, dressings,
paper (and cardboard), tea, pharmaceuticals (e.g. infusion solutions),
feed and other materials (e.g. biological cultures, samples, etc.)
