| | The Quick Test Malic Acid test kit monitors the decrease in malic acid from 500 mg/L to 30 mg/L, indicating the completion of malolactic fermentation, No color indicates a malic acid concentration at or near 0 mg/L.
Malolactic fermentation, the secondary fermentation of winemaking, is a method for reducing total titratable acidity by adjusting the relative concentrations of L-malic and L-lactic acids, softening the wine and allowing it to develop mellowness and full-bodiedness, This process also results in enhanced microbial stability since one of the key nutrients of spoilage bacteria, malic acid, is removed. |
The Malic Acid Test Kit includes illustrated how-to-run test instructions. The insert includes a Summary Interpretation explaining how to use the test results. A monitoring chart is included. The label with the color chart is on the front of the kit.
