Constituents

Enzymatic tests are vital tools for measuring sugars, acids, alcohols, and other components in foods such as juices, wine, beer, dairy products, eggs, and meat. High-quality enzymes ensure accurate results even in complex samples, and assays, typically read by spectrophotometer, can be fully automated for efficient routine testing. Many enzymatic methods are validated or approved by major international organisations, including AOAC, CEN, IDF, IFU, ISO, and OIV, ensuring reliable and standardised analysis.

We offer a wide range of enzymatic test systems, including the internationally recognised Roche “Yellow Line” reference methods, along with the Enzytec™ “Generic,” “Colour,” “Standards,” and “Liquid” product lines. Kits are also available for automated instruments such as the RIDA®CUBE SCAN and Pictus 500. Enzymatic testing supports accurate determination of key components across food production. Organic acids such as citric, lactic, and acetic acid are critical indicators in beverages, helping identify spoilage, verify additives, and maintain overall product quality.

Sugars including glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, and maltose can be measured quickly and precisely in beverages, dairy products, dietary foods, and confectionery, supporting both quality control and nutritional compliance. Beyond sugars and acids, enzymatic analysis can quantify alcohols, salts, sulfite, cholesterol, ammonia, and trace metals like copper and iron, offering comprehensive insight into product composition and safety. Accurate constituent monitoring enhances quality control, supports compliance with international standards, and delivers consistent results across diverse food matrices. With advanced enzymatic systems such as SureFood® and Enzytec™, manufacturers can achieve precise, reliable measurements that strengthen production efficiency and consumer confidence.
