Wine Mineral Content Testing
The analysis of mineral content in wine is a critical aspect of ensuring product quality and compliance with international standards. Wine mineral content can influence the taste, aroma, and overall sensory experience of wines, making it essential for winemakers to understand these components accurately. This service offers comprehensive testing for minerals commonly found in wine, including sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn).
The process involves several steps, starting with the collection of a representative sample from the batch to be tested. The sample is then prepared according to standard procedures, ensuring it accurately reflects the composition of the wine being analyzed. After preparation, the samples are subjected to precise analytical techniques to determine their mineral content.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), which provide high-precision results. These methods allow for the detection of even trace amounts of minerals, ensuring that no significant component is overlooked.
The testing process adheres to international standards such as ISO 10297:2021 and ASTM D6583-14, which specify the procedures for determining mineral content in wine. Compliance with these standards ensures consistency and reliability of the test results.
Once the analysis is complete, detailed reports are generated, providing a comprehensive breakdown of the detected minerals along with their concentrations. This information can be invaluable for quality control, product development, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
