ISO 5983-2:2009(E) iv © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved 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 5983-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 10, Animal feeding stuffs. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5983-2:2005), which has been technically revised. ISO 5983 consists of the following parts, under the general title Animal feeding stuffs — Determination of nitrogen content and calculation of crude protein content: ⎯ Part 1: Kjeldahl method ⎯ Part 2: Block digestion and steam distillation method SIST EN ISO 5983-2:2009



INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5983-2:2009(E) © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved 1Animal feeding stuffs — Determination of nitrogen content and calculation of crude protein content — Part 2: Block digestion and steam distillation method WARNING —
The use of this method may involve the use of hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This part of ISO 5983 does not purport to address all the safety risks associated with its use. It is the responsibility 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 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 fraction 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 determine 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.

ISO 5983-2:2009(E) 2 © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved 3 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 fraction 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 equivalent 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 ammonia. 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 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 amount 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 analytical 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) they 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 % mass fraction, nitrogen-free (ρ20 ≈ 1,84 g/ml). 5.3 Hydrogen peroxide solution, containing approximately 30 g of H2O2 per 100 ml.

ISO 5983-2:2009(E) © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved 35.4 Antifoaming agent. A silicone preparation is recommended, e.g. with a mass fraction of 30 % aqueous emulsion. 5.5 Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, approximately 40 % mass fraction, nitrogen-free (< 5 µg of nitrogen per gram). 5.6 Indicator solutions. 5.6.1 Methyl red solution. Dissolve 100 mg of methyl red (C15H15N3O2) in 100 ml of ethanol or methanol. 5.6.2 Bromocresol green solution. Dissolve 100 mg of bromocresol green (C21H14Br4O5S) in 100 ml of ethanol or methanol. 5.7 Concentrated boric acid solution, c(H3BO3) = 40,0 g/l. Dissolve 400 g of boric acid in about 5 l to 6 l of hot water. Mix and add more hot water to a volume of about 9 l. Allow to cool to room temperature. Add 70 ml of the methyl red solution (5.6.1) and 100 ml of the bromocresol green solution (5.6.2) and mix. Dilute to a final volume of 10 l with water and mix well. Depending on the water used, the pH of the boric acid solution can differ from batch to batch. Often an adjustment with a small volume of alkali is necessary to obtain a positive blank (0,05 ml to 0,15 ml of titrant). The colour should turn green when 100 ml of water are added to 25 ml of the boric acid solution. If still red, titrate with 0,1 mol/l NaOH until “neutral grey” and calculate the amount of alkali needed for the 10 l batch. Store the solution, which is red in colour, at room temperature and protect the solution from light and sources of ammonia fumes during storage. 5.8 Dilute boric acid solution, c(H3BO3) = 10,0 g/l (optional trapping solution for titrators that automatically begin titration when distillation begins). Dissolve 100 g of boric acid in about 5 l to 6 l of hot water, mix and add more hot water to a volume of about 9 l. Allow to cool to room temperature. Add 70 ml of the methyl red solution (5.6.1) and 100 ml of the bromocresol green solution (5.6.2) and mix. Dilute to a final volume of 10 l with water and mix well. Depending on the water used, the pH of the boric acid solution can differ from batch to batch. Often an adjustment with a small volume of alkali is necessary to obtain a positive blank (0,05 ml to 0,15 ml of titrant). The colour should turn green when 100 ml of water are added to 25 ml of the boric acid solution. If still red, titrate with 0,1 mol/l NaOH until “neutral grey” and calculate the amount of alkali needed for the 10 l batch. Store the solution, which is light green in colour, at room temperature and protect the solution from light and sources of ammonia fumes during storage. NOTE The addition of about 3 ml to 4 ml of 0,1 mol/l NaOH into 1 l of 1 % mass fraction boric acid usually gives good adjustments. 5.9 Hydrochloric acid standard volumetric solution, c(HCl) = 0,100 0 mol/l. Other concentrations of HCl or sulfuric acid may be used if this is corrected for in the calculations. The concentrations should always be expressed to four decimal places. 5.10 Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4], min. 99,5 % mass fraction, with certified purity. Dry ammonium sulfate at 102 °C ± 2 °C for 4 h and store in a desiccator. The percentage mass fraction of nitrogen in ammonium sulfate (at 99,5 % mass fraction purity) is 21,09. 5.11 Ammonium iron(II) sulfate [(NH4)2Fe(SO4)2⋅6H2O], with certified purity. The percentage mass fraction of nitrogen in ammonium iron(II) sulfate (at 100 % mass fraction purity) is 7,145. SIST EN ISO 5983-2:2009
