This part of ISO 5983 does not purport to address all the safety risks associated with its use. It is the r
27、esponsibility 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 to
28、 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 fr
29、action 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 determi
30、ne 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. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referre

32、 ISO 5983-2:2009 (E) 43 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 percentage mass fracti
33、on 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 block digestion or equiv
34、alent 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 digest to liberate ammoni
35、a. 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 hydrochloric acid solution to
36、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 calculated from the amoun
37、t 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 of recognized analytic
38、al 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 provided that: a) the
39、y 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 (H2SO4), at least 98 %
40、 mass fraction, nitrogen-free (20 1,84 g/ml). 5.3 Hydrogen peroxide solution, containing approximately 30 g of H2O2per 100 ml. 5DIN EN ISO 5983-2:2009-10 EN ISO 5983-2:2009 (E) 5.4 Antifoaming agent. A silicone preparation is recommended, e.g. with a mass fraction of 30 % aqueous emulsion. 5.5 Sodiu
41、m 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). Swirl gently and let the reaction subside. Al
42、ternatively, 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 digestion block pre-heated to 420 C (6.2)
43、. 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 of digestion, reduce the vacuum source to
44、 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. When fuming has stopped, remove the manifold
45、 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, this means that the DIN EN ISO 5983-2:2009-
46、10 EN ISO 5983-2:2009 (E) 8tubes 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 digester and carefully warm with occasional swirling until sa
47、lts 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 distillation instruments start with the addition of steam before t
48、he 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) to the distillation unit (6.8). Where titration of the ammonia
49、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 for 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 dispens
