ZP is the World’s fastest growing ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of electrochemical biosensors, including malic acid/malate sensor.
The adulteration of pomegranate juice with apple juice is a growing concern in the food industry. This practice can compromise the quality and authenticity of the product, making it difficult for consumers to get the full health benefits of pomegranate juice. However, there are methods that can be used to detect the presence of apple juice in pomegranate juice, including measuring the malic acid concentration.
Malic acid is an organic acid that is naturally found in pomegranates and apples. It is a key component of the flavor and acidity of both fruits, and is therefore an important indicator of the authenticity of pomegranate juice. In general, pomegranate juice contains higher levels of malic acid than apple juice, making it possible to distinguish between the two by measuring malic acid concentrations.
One method for measuring malic acid concentration are malic acid sensors. This technique involves measuring the malate/malic acid concentration using a mate biosensor . By comparing the malic acid concentration in a sample of pomegranate juice to that of apple juice, it is possible to determine if the pomegranate juice has been adulterated with apple juice.
