19、a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represent
20、ed on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are dra
21、fted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International St
22、andard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 5983-2 was prepare
23、d by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 10, Animal feeding stuffs. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5983-2:2005), which has been technically revised. ISO 5983 consists of the following parts, under the general title Animal feeding stuffs Dete

25、nd calculation of crude protein content Part 2: Block digestion and steam distillation method WARNING The use of this method may involve the use of hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This part of ISO 5983 does not purport to address all the safety risks associated with its use. It is the
26、 responsibility of the user of this method to establish appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of local regulatory limitations prior to use. 1 Scope This part of ISO 5983 specifies a method for the determination of nitrogen content of animal feeding stuffs according
27、to the Kjeldahl method, and a method for the calculation of the crude protein content. It is suitable for use as a semi-micro rapid routine method using block digestion, copper catalyst, and steam distillation into boric acid. The method is applicable to the determination of greater than 0,5 % mass
28、fraction Kjeldahl nitrogen in animal feeding stuffs, pet foods, and their raw materials. The method does not measure oxidized forms of nitrogen nor heterocyclic nitrogen compounds. The method does not distinguish between protein nitrogen and non-protein nitrogen. NOTE If it is of importance to deter
29、mine the content of non-protein nitrogen, an appropriate method can be used. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

31、983-2:2009(E) 2 ISO 2009 All rights reserved3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 nitrogen content mass fraction of nitrogen determined by the procedure specified in this part of ISO 5983 NOTE The nitrogen content is expressed as a
32、percentage mass fraction or in grams per kilogram. 3.2 crude protein content nitrogen content (3.1) as a mass fraction multiplied by the factor 6,25 NOTE The crude protein content is expressed as a percentage mass fraction or in grams per kilogram. 4 Principle The test portion is digested using a bl
33、ock digestion or equivalent apparatus. Concentrated sulfuric acid is used to convert protein nitrogen to ammonium sulfate at a boiling point elevated by the addition of potassium sulfate. A copper catalyst is used to enhance the reaction rate. An excess of sodium hydroxide is added to the cooled dig
34、est to liberate ammonia. The liberated ammonia is distilled, using a manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic steam distillation unit. In the case of manual or semi-automatic steam distillation, distillation of the ammonia into an excess of boric acid solution is followed by titration with hydrochl
35、oric acid solution to a colorimetric endpoint. Where a fully automatic system is employed, automatic titration of the ammonia is carried out simultaneously with the distillation and the endpoint of the titration can also be detected by means of a potentiometric pH system. The nitrogen content is cal
36、culated from the amount of ammonia produced. The crude protein content is obtained by multiplying the result by the conventional conversion factor of 6,25. NOTE In principle, sulfuric acid can also be used for the titration. 5 Reagents During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents
37、of recognized analytical grade and distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity. 5.1 Kjeldahl catalyst tablets, comprising 3,5 g of potassium sulfate and 0,4 g of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate per tablet. These tablets are commercially available. Other types of tablet may be used
38、 provided that: a) they contain a quantity of potassium sulfate such that 7 g of potassium sulfate and 0,8 g of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate can be dispensed using an integral number of whole tablets; and b) they do not contain salts of toxic metals such as selenium or mercury. 5.2 Sulfuric acid
39、(H2SO4), at least 98 % mass fraction, nitrogen-free (20 1,84 g/ml). 5.3 Hydrogen peroxide solution, containing approximately 30 g of H2O2per 100 ml. BS EN ISO 5983-2:2009ISO 5983-2:2009(E) ISO 2009 All rights reserved 35.4 Antifoaming agent. A silicone preparation is recommended, e.g. with a mass fr
40、action of 30 % aqueous emulsion. 5.5 Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, approximately 40 % mass fraction, nitrogen-free ( 10 % mass fraction fat). It is possible to stop at this point and continue work the following day. If foaming is a problem, slowly add 3 ml to 5 ml of hydrogen peroxide (5.3). Swi
41、rl gently and let the reaction subside. Alternatively, a few drops of antifoaming agent (5.4) may be used. Attach the heat side shields to the tube rack. Place the exhaust manifold (6.4) tightly on the tubes and turn the water aspirator or scrubber (6.5) on completely. Place the rack of tubes in the
42、 digestion block pre-heated to 420 C (6.2). After 10 min, turn the water aspirator down until the acid fumes are just contained within the exhaust hood. A condensation zone should be maintained within the tube. After the bulk of the fumes of sulfur oxides have been produced during the initial stages
43、 of digestion, reduce the vacuum source to prevent loss of sulfuric acid. Digest for an additional 50 min. The total digestion time should be approximately 60 min. Turn the digestor off. Remove the rack of tubes with the exhaust still in place and put it in the stand to cool for 10 min to 20 min. Wh
44、en fuming has stopped, remove the manifold and shut off the aspirator. Remove the side shields. Allow the tubes to cool. Manual predilution of samples is recommended prior to distilling. Wearing gloves and eye protection, carefully add a few millilitres of water to each tube. If spattering occurs, t
45、his means that the BS EN ISO 5983-2:2009ISO 5983-2:2009(E) 6 ISO 2009 All rights reservedtubes are still too hot. Allow to cool for a few more minutes. Add water to each tube to a total volume of approximately 80 ml. If the sample solidifies, place the tube containing the diluted digest in the block
46、 digester and carefully warm with occasional swirling until salts dissolve, or distil for a further 30 s to 60 s. NOTE 1 Some instruments perform the addition of water automatically. The predilution before placing the tube in the instrument is only required if very solid cakes form. NOTE 2 Some dist
47、illation instruments start with the addition of steam before the addition of alkali, which leads to a dissolution of salt cakes and a less violent reaction during alkali addition. Crystallization during digestion can cause nitrogen losses. 9.3.2 Distillation Transfer the digestion tube (see 9.3.1) t
48、o the distillation unit (6.8). Where titration of the ammonia content of the distillate is performed manually, the procedure mentioned below applies. Where the distillation unit is fully automated to include titration of the ammonia content of the distillate, follow the manufacturers instructions fo
49、r operation of the distillation unit. Place a conical flask (6.9) containing 25 ml to 30 ml of the concentrated boric acid solution (5.7) under the outlet of the condenser in such a way that the delivery tube is below the surface of the excess boric acid solution. Adjust the distillation unit to dispense 50 ml of sodium hydroxide solution (5.5). Operate the distillation unit in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and distil off the ammonia liberated by the addition of the sodium hydroxide solution. Collect the distillate
