Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Stickstoffgehalts von Getreide, Hülsen¬früchten und deren Produkten nach dem Kjeldahl-Verfahren und ein Verfahren zur Berechnung des Rohproteingehalts fest.
Das Verfahren unterscheidet nicht zwischen Proteinstickstoff und Nichtproteinstickstoff. Wenn es wichtig ist, den Gehalt an Nichtproteinstickstoff zu bestimmen, kann ein geeignetes Verfahren angewendet werden.
ANMERKUNG In bestimmten Fällen ist eine vollständige Erfassung des in Nitraten und Nitriten vorliegenden Stickstoffs mit diesem Verfahren nicht möglich.

La méthode ne fait pas la distinction entre l'azote protéique et l'azote non protéique. S'il importe de déterminer la teneur en azote non protéique, on peut appliquer une méthode appropriée.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is 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 represented 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 drafted 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 Standard 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 20483 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 4, Cereals

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 20483:2006(E)
Cereals and pulses — Determination of the nitrogen content
and calculation of the crude protein content — Kjeldahl method
WARNING — The use of this standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.
This standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the nitrogen content of cereals, pulses
and derived products, according to the Kjeldahl method, and a method for calculating the crude protein
content.
The method does not distinguish between protein nitrogen and non-protein nitrogen. If it is important to
determine the non-protein nitrogen content, an appropriate method can be applied.
NOTE In certain cases, full recovery of the nitrogen in nitrates and nitrites is not possible by this method.
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 referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 712, Cereals and cereal products — Determination of moisture content — Routine reference method
ISO 6540, Maize — Determination of moisture content (on milled grains and on whole grains)
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
nitrogen content
quantity of nitrogen determined after application of the procedure described in this International Standard
NOTE It is expressed as mass fraction of dry product, in percent.
3.2
crude protein content
quantity of crude protein obtained from the nitrogen content as determined by applying the method described
in this document, calculated by multiplying this content by an appropriate factor depending on the type of
cereal or pulse
NOTE It is expressed as mass fraction of dry product, in percent.
ISO 20483:2006(E)
4 Principle
A test portion is digested by sulfuric acid in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction products are made
alkaline then distilled. The liberated ammonia is collected in a boric acid solution, which is titrated with a
sulfuric acid solution, to determine the nitrogen content and calculate the crude protein content.
5 Reagents
Use only nitrogen-free reagents of recognized analytical grade, except for the reference materials, and
distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purit
