Description
The D-Sorbitol/Xylitol test kit for the determination Of D-Sorbitol And Xylitol In Foodstuffs, such as bakery goods, diabetic foods, chocolate, fruit, sweets and more.
Sorbitol is non-cariogenic and finds many dietetic applications, but can cause gastrointestinal problems in adults if large quantities are consumed (10-50 g per day). It has been safely used in processed foods for almost half a century and finds applications in the cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries.
The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
Advantages
- Each vial of sorbitol dehydrogenase is stable for > 2 months at 4oC after dissolution

- Very competitive price (cost per test)
- Reagents stable for > 2 years as supplied
- Mega-Calc™ software tool is available for hassle-free raw data processing
