10、is Section of BS1742 describes a routine method for the determination of the nitrogen content of condensed milks. NOTE 1BS 1742-5.1 describes a reference method. NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definition For the purposes of th

11、is Section of BS1742, the following definition applies. nitrogen content of milk the quantity of nitrogen corresponding to the ammonia produced and determined under the conditions specified in this Section of BS 1742, expressed as grams per100g of sample 3 Principle An aliquot portion of the diluted

12、 test sample is digested rapidly, using a block digestion apparatus, with a mixture of sulphuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and potassium sulphate together with a catalyst such as a mixture of copper(II) sulphate and titanium dioxide, to convert the organic nitrogen present to ammonium sulphate. Excess

13、 sodium hydroxide is added to the cooled digest to liberate ammonia. The ammonia is steam distilled out of the digestion mixture in a manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic steam distillation unit. In the case of manual or semi-automatic steam distillation, the ammonia is distilled into an excess

14、 of boric acid solution and titrated with standard sulphuric acid solution. If a fully automatic distillation unit is employed, the ammonia is automatically titrated and end point detection is by means of a photometric or pH system. The nitrogen content of the sample is calculated from the amount of

15、 ammonia produced. 4 Reagents NOTEThe reagents given in 4.1 to 4.12 are usually required for use in the digestion procedure and for manual titration of the ammonia content of the distillate. Additional and/or different reagents, as specified by the manufacturer, may be required for automatic titrati

25、the condensed milk to be tested using, where appropriate, the procedures described in BS 1742-1. 7 Procedure NOTEIn the normal course of events, samples are analysed in batches, according to the procedure described. 7.1 Gravimetrically prepare an approximately10%(m/m) dilution of the test sample (cl

26、ause 6), using at least10g of test sample and weigh to an accuracy of0.001g. Record the exact strength of the dilution. 7.2 Add the number of Kjeldahl catalyst tablets (4.1) containing7g of potassium sulphate to a clean, dry digestion tube (5.4). Take an aliquot portion of diluted sample (7.1) conta

27、ining approximately0.7g of the test sample (clause 6) into the tube Record the mass (m) of the test sample in the aliquot portion to the nearest0.001g (see 8.1). Carefully add 10mL of the sulphuric acid (4.2) by means of an automatic pipette (5.7), add three or four drops of the antifoaming agent (4

28、.4) and gently swirl the tube to mix the contents. Allow the tube to stand for5min. Carefully add5mL of the hydrogen peroxide solution (4.3) by means of an automatic pipette, allowing the solution to run down the inside of the tube. Again swirl the tube gently in order to mix the contents and then l

29、eave to stand for10min to15min. Transfer the tube to the digestion block (5.3), set at the temperature specified by the manufacturer and immediately place the exhaust manifold (5.5), which is itself connected to a centrifugal scrubber or similar device (5.6), in the top of the tube. Digest the sampl

30、e for the period specified by the manufacturer of the block, usually 40min, and then remove the tube from the block with the exhaust manifold in place and allow to cool for at least15min. Once the tubes are sufficiently cool to handle, remove the exhaust manifold and carefully add50mL of water to ea

31、ch tube. 7.3 Transfer the digestion tube to the distillation unit (5.8). If titration of the ammonia content of the distillate is performed manually, use the following procedure. Place a conical flask (5.9) containing 50 mL of the neutralized boric acid solution (4.7) and two or three drops of indic

32、ator solution (4.8) under the outlet of the condenser, in such a way that the delivery tube is below the surface of the boric acid solution. Operate the distillation unit in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and distil the ammonia liberated by addition of excess sodium hydroxide solutio

33、n (4.5), collecting the distillate in the boric acid solution. NOTEIn a semi-automatic distillation unit, the addition of excess sodium hydroxide and the steam distillation are performed automatically. Titrate the distillate with the standard sulphuric acid solution (4.9) until the colour matches th

34、at of a freshly prepared solution consisting of a volume of water corresponding to the amount of distillate produced,50mL of the boric acid solution (4.7), and two to three drops of indicator solution (4.8), contained in a conical flask. Estimate each burette reading to0.01mL. If the distillation un

35、it is fully automated to include titration of the ammonia content of the distillate, follow the manufacturers instructions for operation of the distillation unit. 7.4 Carry out a blank test following the procedure described in 7.2 and 7.3 using 2mL of water with about 0.25g of the sucrose (4.10) ins

36、tead of the aliquot portion. It is advisable to add an additional three or four drops of the antifoaming agent (4.4) to the digested blank prior to distillation, to reduce frothing. NOTE 1Titration of the blank distillate will require only a very small volume of the standard volumetric solution, nor

37、mally not more than0.15mL. NOTE 2The accuracy of the procedure should be checked periodically by means of the following recovery trials. a) Check that the digestion and distillation procedures are efficient by using a test portion of0.10g to 0.15g of the phenacetin (4.12) weighed to the nearest 0.00

38、1g. Determine the nitrogen content according to the procedure described in7.2 and 7.3. The recovery of nitrogen from the phenacetin should be not less than 98.5%. b) If the digestion and distillation procedures are found to give low recoveries then the distillation procedure alone may be checked as

39、follows. Prepare a solution of the ammonium sulphate (4.11) of concentration exactly0.05mol/L. Pipette a10.0 mL aliquot portion of the ammonium sulphate solution into a digestion tube and add 50mL of water. Determine the nitrogen content of the solution according to the procedure described in 7.3. T

40、he recovery of nitrogen from the ammonium sulphate should be not less than98.5%. NOTE 3It is recommended that analysts should periodically undertake determinations to verify that results complying with the repeatability (see clause 9) are being obtained.BS1742-5.2:1991 BSI 11-1999 3 8 Expression of

41、results 8.1 Method of calculation Calculate the value of the nitrogen content, in grams per100 grams of sample, by means of the formula: where V is the volume of the standard volumetric solution of acid used in the determination (inmL); V ois the volume of the standard volumetric solution of acid us

42、ed in the blank test (in mL); m is the mass of the sample in the aliquot of test portion (in g). 8.2 Result Express the result to two decimal places. 9 Precision NOTEThe precision data were obtained from a collaborative study undertaken in 1991 involving 14 laboratories and two sweetened and two uns

43、weetened condensed milks. 9.1 Repeatability The difference between the values obtained from two determinations carried out simultaneously or in rapid succession by the same analyst using the same apparatus should not exceed0.04 g/100 g of test portion. 9.2 Reproducibility The difference between the

44、results obtained on samples of the same test material by two different analysts in different laboratories (where each resultis the mean of two values that comply withthe repeatability requirement) should not exceed 0.10g/100g of test portion. 10 Test report The test report shall be in accordance wit
