2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the enzymatic determination ofcitrate in both liquid and solid synthetic detergents. The testmethod is appli
3、cable to most detergents containing citrate at aminimum concentration of approximately 5 % (1-8).21.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health

5、ergents3D 1193 Specification for Reagent Water43. Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method employs an enzyme system that isbased upon the selective cleavage of citrate by citrate lyase(citrate oxaloacetate-lyase; EC 4.1.3.6) (1). One of the prod-ucts, oxaloacetate, is reduced to malate by malic de
6、hydroge-nase (L-malate: NAD oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.37) with thesimultaneous oxidation of reduced b-nicotinamide adeninedinucleotide to b-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, oxidizedform. The course of the reaction is measured spectrophoto-metrically. The decrease in absorbance at 340 nm caused by t
7、heformation of b-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, oxidizedform, is directly proportional to the concentration of citrate.4. Interferences4.1 The test method is highly specific for citrate. Otherorganic acids, for example, cisand trans-aconitic, d,l-isocitric,a-ketoglutaric, oxalic, succinic, or ta
8、rtaric acids, do not inter-fere.4.2 Although low levels of zinc or magnesium, or both, arerequired as an activator for the enzyme citrate lyase, exces-sively high levels of divalent metallic ions including zinc andmagnesium will cause inactivation of the enzyme and poten-tially interfere with the te
9、st method (7).4.3 The test method is not applicable to those detergentscontaining components with excessive absorptivity at 340 nmsuch that ultraviolet measurements are inappropriate at 340 nmunder test conditions.5.

Reagents6.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall be
11、used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.5Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the rea
12、gent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D12 on Soapsand Other Detergents, and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D12.12 onAnalysis of Soaps and Synthetic Detergents
