L-Tartrate in wines and grapes was enzymatically quantified by using the secondary activity of D-malate dehydrogenase (D-MDH). NADH formed by the D-MDH reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically. Under the optimal conditions, L-tartrate (a 1.0 mM sample solution) was fully oxidized by D-MDH in 30 min. A linear relationship was obtained between the absorbance difference and the L-tartrate concentration in the range of a 0.02-1.0 mM sample solution with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991. The relative standard deviation from ten measurements was 1.71% at the 1.0 mM sample solution level. The proposed method was compared with HPLC, and the values determined by both methods were in good agreement
