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 3.
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 part of ISO 14673�IDF 189 may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 14673-2�IDF 189-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products,
Subcommittee SC 5, Milk and milk products, and the International Dairy Federation (IDF), in collaboration with

4Principle
4.1 Nitrate determination
A test portion is suspended in water. Part of the suspension is transferred to the analyser for dialysis. The nitrate
ions are reduced to nitrite. The nitrite content is determined by a spectrometric method.
Standard nitrate solutions are determined by the same procedure. The nitrate content is calculated by comparing
the reading obtained from the test portion with the readings from the standard solutions.
NOTE Any nitrite present is determined as nitrate. The amount of nitrite is generally small compared to the amount of
nitrate. Infant food based on soy-proteins can be an exception to the rule. A correction for the nitrite present can be applied after
determination of the nitrite content.
4.2 Nitrite determination
A test portion is suspended in a solution of ammonium and sodium chloride. Part of the suspension is transferred to
the analyser for dialysis. The nitrite content is determined by a spectrometric method.
Standard nitrite solutions are determined by the same procedure. The nitrite content is calculated by comparing the
reading obtained from the test portion with that from the standard solution.
5 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade unless otherwise specified.
5.1 Water, distilled or deionized, or water of equivalent purity, free from nitrate and nitrite ions.
To avoid the possible inclusion of small gas bubbles in the copperized cadmium column (6.9), freshly boil the
distilled or deionized water and cool to room temperature. Use the thus-prepared water for the preparation of the
column (9.1), to check the reducing capacity of the column (9.2), and for regeneration of the column.
5.2 Cadmium granules, of diameter 0,3 mm to 0,8 mm.
Prepare cadmium granules, if not available commercially, as follows.
Place a suitable number of zinc rods in a beaker. Cover the rods with cadmium sulfate solution (5.3). Scrape the
cadmium sponge from the rods from time to time over a period of 24 h. Remove the zinc rods and decant the liquid
until only sufficient remains to cover the cadmium sponge. Wash the sponge two or three times with water. Transfer
the cadmium sponge to a laboratory blender together with 400 ml of the dilute hydrochloric acid (5.6) and blend for
a few seconds to obtain granules of the required size. Return the contents of the blender to the beaker and leave to
stand for several hours, while stirring occasionally to remove bubbles. Decant most of the liquid and immediately
copperize the granules as described in 9.1.2.
WARNING — Because of its toxicity, the used cadmium should be delivered as chemical waste to the
relevant authorities.
5.3 Cadmium sulfate solution, c(CdSO ·8H O) = 40 g/l.
4 2
Dissolve 40 g of cadmium sulfate in water in a 1 000 ml volumetric flask (6.4). Dilute to the mark with water and
mix.
5.4 Copper(II) sulfate solution, c(CuSO ·5H O) = 20 g/l.
4 2
Dissolve 2 g of copper(II) sulfate in water in a 100 ml volumetric flask (6.4). Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
