  1. Natamycin Screen (Optional Quantification of Positive Result)
    Feras food testing abilities can highlight levels of Natamycin within a range of beverages, including wine. Natamycin (INN), also known as pimaricin and sometimes sold as Natacyn, is a naturally occurring antifungal agent produced during fermentation.
  2. Alcoholic Strength by Volume
    Fera’s food authenticity team can analyse alcoholic beverages to determine their alcoholic strength by volume, expressed as ‘% vol’ on product labels. This analysis can suit both beverages producers and retailers wishing to verify labelling claims.
  3. Free and Total Sulphur Dioxide
    While naturally present in wine, sulphur dioxide (SO2) can also be added to wine during the pre bottling stage of production to preserve products during storage. Sulphur dioxide is subject to legal limits and requires specific mention on labels where levels exceed 10 mg/L
