Animal feeding stuffs - Determination of tryptophan content (ISO 13904:2016)

This International Standard specifies a method for determination of the total and free tryptophan (Trp)
content in feeding stuffs (e.g. complete and complementary feeds, supplementary feeds, raw materials,
ingredients, and concentrates) and determination of free tryptophan in commercial pure substances
and premixtures containing more than 2 % of tryptophan.
It does not distinguish between D- and L-forms.

Futtermittel - Bestimmung des Tryptophangehalts (ISO 13904:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehaltes an Gesamttryptophan und an freiem Tryptophan (Trp) in Futtermitteln (z. B. Allein- und Ergänzungsfuttermittel, Milchaustausch-Futtermittel, Rohstoffe, Futterbestandteile und Konzentrate) und zur Bestimmung von freiem Tryptophan in handelsüblichen Reinsubstanzen und Vormischungen, die mehr als 2 % Tryptophan enthalten, fest.
Bei dem Verfahren wird nicht zwischen D  und L Formen unterschieden.

Aliments des animaux - Détermination de la teneur en tryptophane (ISO 13904:2016)

ISO 13904:2016 décrit une méthode de dosage du tryptophane total et libre (Trp) dans les aliments pour animaux (par exemple aliments complets et complémentaires, compléments alimentaires, matières premières, ingrédients et concentrés) et une méthode de dosage du tryptophane libre dans les substances pures du commerce et les prémélanges contenant plus de 2 % de tryptophane.
Elle ne fait pas la distinction entre les formes D et L.

Krma - Določevanje triptofana (ISO 13904:2016)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za določevanje celotnega in prostega triptofana (Trp) v krmi (npr. polnovredna in dopolnilna krma, dodatna krma, surovine, sestavine in koncentrati) ter določevanje prostega triptofana v komercialnih čistih snoveh in premiksih, ki vsebujejo več kot 2 % triptofana.
Standard ne razlikuje med oblikama D in L.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

SIST EN ISO 13904:2016
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 13904:2016(E)
Animal feeding stuffs — Determination of tryptophan
content
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for determination of the total and free tryptophan (Trp)
content in feeding stuffs (e.g. complete and complementary feeds, supplementary feeds, raw materials,
ingredients, and concentrates) and determination of free tryptophan in commercial pure substances
and premixtures containing more than 2 % of tryptophan.
It does not distinguish between D- and L-forms.
2 Principle
For the determination of the total tryptophan, the sample is hydrolysed under alkaline conditions
with saturated barium hydroxide solution and heated to 110 °C for 20 h. After hydrolysis, an internal
standard is added.
For the determination of free tryptophan, the sample is extracted under mild acidic conditions in the
presence of an internal standard. For commercial pure substances and premixtures containing more
than 2 % of tryptophan, it is possible to add the internal standard after the extraction.
The tryptophan and the internal standard in the hydrolysate or in the extract are determined by
reversed phase C HPLC with fluorescence detection.

3 Reagents and materials
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, unless otherwise specified.
3.1 Double-distilled water, or water of equivalent purity (conductivity <10 μS/cm).
3.2 Standard substance and control substance: tryptophan (purity ≥99 %) dried under vacuum
over phosphorus pentoxide.
The two products are considered as 100 % pure. Control substance shall come from another
manufacturer than the standard substance (see 3.17.2).
NOTE The control of the purity of the standard substance can be performed by measuring the absorbance
-3
of a solution of tryptophan at 280 nm. Prepare a solution of about 5 mg/l in HCl 10 N from a stock solution and
-3
measure the Optical Density (OD) at 280 nm versus HCl 10 N. Then, the concentration of tryptophan is:
+06
C = OD/5 630 * 10
where
5 630 is the molar extinction coefficient of tryptophan in water at 280 nm;
C    is expressed in μmole/l.
The standard substance purity is then (C/C )*100 where C is the theoretical concentration of the diluted
0 0
solution, expressed in μmole/l (about 25 μmole/l).
The control of the purity is performed every 6 months of use; it shall be ≥99 %.
