EC™ Wine Total Glucose + Fructose (Microlab EFA)

Description:
Glucose and fructose are the only two sugars that convert into alcohol. For this reason, the concentration of these two parameters together offers vital information and is the most crucial parameter in wine. In must: it reveals the alcoholic content of the finished product. In wine: during processing it suggests at what stage fermentation should be interrupted to achieve the desired dryness /sweetness of the finished product. In finished wines: it provides information about the quality.

If this parameter is not monitored carefully, there is a risk that sweet wines could still continue to ferment or be attacked by bacteria after processing.

The EC™ Wine Total Glucose + Fructose (ML EFA) method utilises the differential pH technique for the measurement of total glucose and fructose in grapes, must and wine (during processing and in the finished product), with the same operating simplicity.

Features:

• No sample preparation required
• Application range: 0.5 - 270 g/l
• Results in a few seconds
• Precision between 1.5% and 3.0% variation
