    "GB5009.
    5-2010 National Food Safety Standard Determination of Protein in Foods" stipulates three methods: Kjeldahl method, spectrophotometric method and combustion method
    .


    This training uses the Kjeldahl method (according to the first method in GB5009.


    1.
    Purpose requirements

    (1) Understand the concept of protein and protein coefficient
    .

    (2) Master the basic principles and calculation methods of Kjeldahl method, and understand the role of copper sulfate and potassium sulfate in this method
    .

    (3) Be proficient in connecting and using equipment such as nitrogen determination device, and master the operation essentials of Kjeldahl method
    .

    (4) Will use Kjeldahl method to determine protein content in food
    .

    2.
    Principles of training

    The sample is heated and digested with concentrated sulfuric acid and catalyst to decompose the protein, and the generated ammonia is combined with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate
    .


    Alkali is added to alkalize the digestion solution to free the ammonia, and then the ammonia is distilled out by steam distillation, which is absorbed by boric acid to form ammonium borate
