The Citric Acid test kit is a flexible and simple method for the rapid and reliable measurement and analysis of citric acid (citrate) in foods, beverages and other materials.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuant™ Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).

| Approvals | Methods based on this principle have been accepted by MEBAK, OIV, EU, ISO2963, AOAC and IFU22 (NOTE: If the enzyme oxaloacetate decarboxylase is present in the sample, some of the oxaloacetate product is converted to pyruvate. Therefore, to ensure citric acid is measured quantitatively, D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) is employed to efficiently convert any pyruvate produced into D-lactate and NAD+). | |
