Organic Acids Analysis Services

Organic acids are an important group of primary metabolites that are derived from plants or microorganisms. Organic acids play a role in the regulation of basic cellular processes such as pH modification, signaling messengers and modulating transport across biological membranes, and they extensively modify the cellular, sub-cellular or extracellular compartments in which they are found due to their chemical properties. Organic acids have been found to have important economic value. They are the most versatile ingredients in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, solvents, petrochemicals, textiles, detergents, pharmaceuticals, rubbers, perfumes, plastics, dyes and adhesives[1].
The application of organic acids relies on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic acids. As a leading analysis provider for organic acids, Alfa Chemistry has a team of highly skilled biologists and analytical chemists with rich organic acids knowledge. We are confident that our organic acids analysis services will make a significant contribution to your research.
Our Service Scope
Alfa Chemistry has the ability to provide analysis services for a wide range of organic acids. These organic acids include, but not limited to the following.
Citric acid is one of the most versatile, inexpensive, and widely used organic acidulants. It is commonly used in the production of fruit-flavored beverages. In addition, citric acid is also used in jams, confectioneries, candies, cheeses, juices, wines, canned vegetables, and sauces. Alfa Chemistry offers citric acid analysis services to our customers.
Itaconic acid is an important building block in the chemical industry for the production of resins, plastics, paints, and synthetic fibers. It also finds large applications in food packaging, paints and coatings, emulsifiers, pharmaceuticals, detergents, agriculture, herbicides, and printing chemicals. Alfa Chemistry offers itaconic acid analysis services to our customers.
Lactic acid has a very smooth and mild taste compared with other acidulants. It is reputed for its antimicrobial activity, especially in fermented foods. Lactic acid is used at substantial concentrations in fermented meats, dairy products, sauces, pickled vegetables, and salad dressings. Alfa Chemistry offers lactic acid analysis services to our customers.
