WasuHinetTon, D. C., November 16, 1915. To Tue PrestipENT AND MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF OFFICIAL AGRICUL- TURAL CHEMISTS. Gentlemen:—Your committee on editing methods of analysis begs leave to report that it has completed the work assigned and herewith submits for your consideration the revised methods. The committee has included all authorized changes and addi- tions, has eliminated obsolete methods in so far as possible, rewritten the text where parts appeared obscure, and made such consolidations of general methods and rearrangements as in its opinion would promote brevity and clearness. In order that the members of the Association may have an opportunity to criti- cize the revised methods it is suggested by your committee that this report be published in the JourNaAt of the Association with a view to final adoption of the methods in 1916. Respectfully submitted, CoMMITTEE ON Epitinc Mretuops or ANALYSIS. R. E. Dooutttie, Chairman, A. F. SEEKER, W. A. WITHERS, G. W. Hoover, J. P. STREET, B. L. HartweE.u. Editorial Note:—The Board of Editors submits the following comment upon the report of the Committee on Hditing Methods of Analysis: Inasmuch as the methods of analysis as prescribed by this Association have been adopted, by regulation, for the enforcement of the Federal Food and Drugs Act and, by law, in many of the States for the enforcement of State laws, certain safe- guards to protect their integrity are provided by the Association’s Constitution and By-Laws. The Constitution and By-Laws provide for Official and Provisional Methods only. At the last meeting of the Association it was suggested that the ‘‘Provisional”’ methods be designated as ‘*Tentative’’ and the committee was instructed at the afternoon session, Wednesday, November 17, 1915, to make their report accordingly. The phraseology of the Constitution was not changed, however, but was referred to a committee to be reported upon at the 1916 meeting. Therefore, in the present report the word ‘‘Tentative’’ has been substituted for the word ‘“Provisional’’, though the term ‘‘Provisional’’ must be formally retained until the Constitution shall have been changed. Changes in methods cannot be made until an opportunity has been given members of the Association to test them. Before a method can be adopted as Official, it must have been tested through codéperative work and must have been recommended by the appropriate referee for at least two years. Official Methods, therefore, are those which have been thoroughly tested and which, in the opinion of the Associa- tion, yield accurate results in the hands of its members. In other words, they are believed to render as absolutely correct results as are possible in the existing state of knowledge concerning the determination in question. Provisional Methods are those which, while in the opinion of the Association yielding dependable results _ for comparison, have not as yet been tested so thoroughly as those that have been adopted officially. They are believed to be the best of the kind which have been tested by the Association but which for reasons stated have not the standing of Official Methods. The methods in the form last promulgated by the Association, either in Bulletin 107 (Revised) or as published in their Proceedings of the last eight years, are as yet the only enes adopted by the Association. It should be clearly understood that the revised methods as published herewith are simply the report of the Committee on Editing Methods of Analysis, including the recommendations adopted at the 1915 meeting, and at the present time have not been officially adopted. The methods are printed at this time to enable the mem- bers of the Association to study and criticize them so that they may be able to vote on them intelligently at the 1916 meeting at which time the matter will come up for final action. ge tae, Braet ’ ay J { AT a 4 trey >, i ae eel ea? we ae bo feelers ; OES aaa My a oD Pr) ne hari RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OFFICIAL AND TENTATIVE METHODS OF ANALYSIS, AS PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSO- CIATION OF OFFICIAL AGRICUL- TURAL CHEMISTS, NOVEMBER 16 AND 17, 1915. I. FERTILIZERS. GENERAL METHODS. 1 MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF BONE AND TANKAGE.—TENTATIVE. Transfer 100 grams of the original material to a sieve having circular openings 1/50 inch (0.5 mm.) in diameter. Sift, breaking the lumps by means of a soft rubber pestle if the material has a tendency to cake. Weigh the coarse portion remaining on the sieve. Determine the fine portion by difference. ? PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. Reduce the gross sample by quartering to an amount sufficient for analytical purposes. Transfer to a sieve having circular openings 1/25 inch (1mm.) in diameter, sift, breaking the lumps with a soft rubber pestle. Grind in a mortar the part re- maining on the sieve until the particles will pass through. Mix thoroughly and preserve in tightly stoppered bottles. Grind and sift as rapidly as possible to avoid loss or gain of moisture during the operation. 3 MOISTURE.— OFFICIAL. Heat 2 grams of the sample prepared as in 2 for 5 hours in a water oven at the temperature of boiling water. In the case of potash salts, sodium nitrate, and ammonium sulphate heat at about 130°C. to constant weight. The loss in weight is considered as moisture. TOTAL PHOSPHORIC ACID. Gravimetric Method.—O ficial. 4 REAGENTS. (a) Molybdate solution.—Dissolve 100 grams of molybdic acid in dilute ammo- nium hydroxid (144 ec. of ammonium hydroxid (sp. gr. 0.90) and 271 ce. of water); pour this solution slowly and with constant stirring into dilute nitric acid (489 ce. of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42) and 1148 cc. of water). Keep the mixture in a warm place for several days or until a portion heated to 40°C. deposits no yellow precipitate of ammonium phosphomolybdate. Decant the solution from any sediment and preserve in glass-stoppered vessels. (b) Ammonium nitrate solution.—Dissolve 200 grams of commercial ammonium nitrate, phosphate free, in water and dilute to 2 liters. (C) Magnesia mizture.—Dissolve 22 grams of recently ignited calcined magnesia in dilute hydrochloric acid, avoiding an excess of the latter. Add a little calcined magnesia in excess, and boil a few minutes to precipitate iron, aluminium, and phos- 1 2 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. phoric acid; filter; add 280 grams of ammonium chlorid, 261 cc. of ammonium hydrox- id (sp. gr. 0.90) and dilute to 2 liters. Instead of the solution of 22 grams of cal- cined magnesia, 110 grams of crystallized magnesium chlorid (MgCl.6H,0) dissolved in water may be used, then add 280 grams of ammonium chlorid and proceed as above. (d) Dilute ammonium hydroxid for washing.—Dilute 100 cc. of ammonium hy- droxid (sp. gr. 0.90) to 1 liter. (@) Magnesium nitrate solution.—Dissolve 320 grams of calcined magnesia in nitric acid, avoiding an excess of the latter; then add a little calcined magnesia in excess, boil, filter from the excess of magnesia, ferric oxid, etc., and dilute to 2 liters. 5 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Treat 2 or 2.5 grams of the sample by one of the methods given below: (a) Ignite, and dissolve in hydrochloric acid. (b) Evaporate with 5 cc. of magnesium nitrate, ignite, and dissolve in hydro- chloric acid. (C) Boil with 20-30 ce. of strong sulphuric acid in a Kjeldahl flask, adding 2-4 grams of sodium or potassium nitrate at the beginning of the digestion and a small quantity after the solution has become nearly colorless, or adding the nitrate in small portions from time to time. After the solution is colorless add 150 cc. of water, and boil for a few minutes. (d) Digest in a Kjeldahl flask with strong sulphuric acid and such other re- agents as are used in either the plain or modified Kjeldahl or Gunning method for estimating nitrogen. Do not add any potassium permanganate, but after the solution has become colorless add about 100 cc. of water and boil for a few minutes. (€) Dissolve in 30 cc. of concentrated nitric acid and a small quantity of hydro- chloric acid and boil until organic matter is destroyed. (f) Add 30 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, heat and add cautiously, in small quantities at a time, about 0.5 gram of finely pulverized potassium chlorate to destroy organic matter. (&) Dissolve in 15-30 ec. of strong hydrochloric acid and 3-10 ce. of nitric acid. This method is recommended for fertilizers containing much iron or aluminium phosphate. After solution, cool, dilute to 200 cc. or to 250 cc. if a 2.5 gram sample was used. Mix, and pour on a dry filter. 6 DETERMINATION. Take an aliquot of the solution prepared as directed above, corresponding to 0.25 gram, 0.50 gram, or 1 gram, neutralize with ammonium hydroxid, and clear with a few drops of nitric acid. In case hydrochloric or sulphuric acid has been used as a solvent, add about 15 grams of dry ammonium nitrate or a solution containing that amount. To the hot solution add 60-80 cc. of the molybdate solution for every decigram of phosphoric acid (P,0;) that is present. Digest at about 65°C. for an hour, and determine if the phosphoric acid has been completely precipitated by the addition of more molybdate solution to the clear supernatant liquid. Fil- ter and wash with cold water or, preferably, ammonium nitrate solution. Dissolve the precipitate on the filter with ammonium hydroxid and hot water and wash into a beaker to a bulk of not more than 100 cc. Nearly neutralize with hydrochloric acid, cool, and add magnesia mixture from a burette; add slowly (about 1 drop per second), stirring vigorously. After 15 minutes add 12 cc. of ammonium hydroxid (sp. gr. 0.90). Let stand till the supernatant liquid is clear (2 hours is usually enough) filter, wash with the dilute ammonium hydroxid until the washings are I] FERTILIZERS 3 practically free from chlorin, dry the filter and precipitate and transfer the latter to a weighed porcelain crucible. Ignite the filter separately and add its ash to the precipitate in the crucible. Ignite to whiteness or to a grayish white, weigh, and calculate to phosphoric acid (P20s). Volumetric Method.—Offcial. ig REAGENTS. (a) Molybdate solution.—To 100 ce. of molybdate solution prepared as directed in 4 (a), add 5 ce. of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42). This solution should be filtered im- mediately before using. (b) Standard sodium or potassium hydroxid solution.—Dilute 323.81 ec. of N/1 alkali, free from carbonates, to 1 liter. 100 cc. of the solution should neutralize 32.38 ce. of N/1 acid; 1 cc. is equivalent to 1 mg. of P20; (1% of P20; on a basis of 0.1 gram of substance). (C) Standard acid solution.—Prepare an acid solution corresponding to the, or to one-half of the, strength of (b), and standardize by titration against that solution, using phenolphthalein as indicator. Hydrochloric or nitric acid may be used. (d) Phenolphthalein solution.—Dissolve 1 gram of phenolphthalein in 100 ce. of alcohol. 8 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Dissolve according to 5 (b), (e), (£), or (&), preferably by (€), when these acids are a suitable solvent, and dilute to 200 ce. with water. 9 DETERMINATION. (a) For percentages of 5 or below use an aliquot corresponding to 0.4 gram of substance, for percentages between 5 and 20 use an aliquot corresponding to 0.2 gram of substance, and for percentages above 20 use an aliquot corresponding to 0.1 gram of substance. Add 5-10 ce. of nitric acid, depending on the method of solution (or the equivalent in ammonium nitrate), nearly neutralize with ammonium hydroxid, dilute to 75-100 ec., heat in a water bath to 60°-65°C., and for percentages below 5 add 20-25 cc. of freshly filtered molybdate solution. For percentages be- tween 5 and 20 add 30-35 ce. of molybdate solution. For percentages greater than 20 add sufficient molybdate solution to insure complete precipitation. Stir, let stand in the bath about 15 minutes, filter at once, wash once or twice with water by decantation, using 25-30 cc. each time, agitate the precipitate thoroughly and allow to settle; transfer to the filter and wash with cold water until the filtrate from 2 fillings of the filter yields a pink color upon the addition of phenolphthalein and 1 drop of the standard alkali. Transfer the precipitate and filter to a beaker or pre- cipitating vessel, dissolve the precipitate in a small excess of the standard alkah, add a few drops of phenolphthalein solution, and titrate with the standard acid. (b) Proceed as:in (&) with this exception: Heat in a water bath at 45°-50°C., add the molybdate solution, and allow to remain in the bath with occasional stirring for 30 minutes. (C) Proceed as in (&) to the point where the solution is ready to place in the water bath. Then cool the solution to room temperature, add molybdate solution at the rate of 75 cc. for each decigram of phosphoric acid present, place the stoppered flask containing the solution in a shaking apparatus and shake for 30 minutes at ‘room temperature, filter at once, wash, and titrate as in (&). 4 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. WATER-SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID. 10 Gravimetric Method.—O ficial. Place 2 grams of the sample on a 9 cm. filter, wash with successive small portions of water, allowing each portion to pass through before adding more, until the filtrate measures about 250 ce. If the filtrate is turbid, add a little nitric acid. Make up to any convenient volume, mix well, use an aliquot, and proceed as under 6. 11 Volumetric Method.—Oficial. Treat the sample as directed under 10. To an aliquot of the solution cor- responding to 0.2 or 0.4 gram, add 10 cc. of concentrated nitric acid and ammonium hydroxid until a slight permanent precipitate is formed, dilute to 60 cc., and pro- ceed as directed under 9. CITRATE-INSOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID.—OFFICIAL. 12 REAGENTS. In addition to the reagents given under 4 and? prepare ammonium citrate solu- tion by one of the following methods: Ammonium citrate solution.—(1) Dissolve 370 grams of commercial citric acid in 1500 cc. of water; nearly neutralize with commercial ammonium hydroxid; cool; add ammonium hydroxid until exactly neutral (testing with litmus or azolitmin paper), and dilute sufficiently to make the specific gravity 1.09 at 20°C. The vol- ume will be about 2 liters; or, (2) To 370 grams of commercial citric acid add commercial ammonium hydroxid until nearly neutral; reduce the specific gravity to slightly more than 1.09 at 20°C. and make exactly neutral, testing as follows: Prepare a solution of fused calcium chlorid, 200 grams to the liter, and add 4 volumes of strong alcohol. Make this solution exactly neutral, using a small amount of freshly prepared corallin solution as preliminary indicator, and test finally by withdrawing a portion, diluting with an equal volume of water, and testing with cochineal solution; 50 cc. of this solution will precipitate the citric acid from 10 cc. of the citrate solution. To 10 cc. of the nearly neutral citrate solution add 50 cc. of the alcoholic calcium chlorid solution, stir well, filter at once through a folded filter, dilute with an equal volume of water, and test the reaction with neutral solution of cochineal. If acid or alkaline, add ammonium hydroxid or citric acid, as the case may be, to the citrate solution, mix, and test again, as before. Repeat this process until a neutral reaction is obtained. Add sufficient water to make the specific gravity 1.09 at 20°C. 13 DETERMINATION. (a) Acidulated samples.—Heat 100 cc. of strictly neutral ammonium citrate solution (sp. gr. 1.09) to 65°C. in a 250 ec. Erlenmeyer flask placed in a warm water bath, keeping the flask loosely stoppered to prevent evaporation. The level of the water in the bath should be above that of the citrate solution in the flask. When the citrate solution has reached 65°C., drop into it the filter containing the washed residue from the water-soluble phosphoric acid solution in 190, close tightly with a smooth rubber stopper, and shake violently until the filter paper is reduced to a pulp, relieving the pressure by momentarily removing the stopper. Place the flask in the bath and maintain its contents at exactly 65°C. Shake the flask every 5 minutes. At the expiration of exactly 30 minutes from the time the filter and the residue are introduced, remove the flask from the bath and immediately filter the contents as rapidly as possible through a quick-acting filter paper. Wash with I FERTILIZERS 5 water at 65°C. until the volume of the filtrate is about 350 cc., allowing time for thorough draining before adding new portions of water. (1) Transfer the filter and its contents to a crucible, ignite until all organic matter is destroyed, add 10- 15 cc. of strong hydrochloric acid, and digest until all phosphate is dissolved; or, (2) Return the filter with contents to the digestion flask, add 30-35 ce. of strong nitric acid, 5-10 cc. of strong hydrochloric acid, and boil until all phosphate is dis- solved. Dilute the solution as prepared in (1) or (2) to 200 ec. If desired, the filter and its contents may be treated according to methods 5 (b), (C) or (d). Mix well, filter through a dry filter and proceed as directed under 6 or 9. (b) Non-acidulated samples.—In case a determination of citrate-insoluble phos- phoric acid is required in non-acidulated samples treat 2 grams of the phosphatic material without previous washing with water, precisely as in (A), except when the substance contains much animal matter (bone, fish, etc.), in which case dissolve the residue insoluble in ammonium citrate by any one of the processes described under 5 (b), (C) or (d) and determine phosphoric acid as directed in 6 or 9. 14 CITRATE-SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID.—OFFICIAL. The sum of the water-soluble and citrate-insoluble subtracted from the total gives the citrate-soluble phosphoric acid. 15 DETECTION OF NITRATES.—OFFICIAL. Mix 5 grams of the fertilizer with 25 cc. of hot water and filter. To a portion of this solution add 2 volumes of concentrated sulphuric acid, free from nitrie acid and oxids of nitrogen, and allow the mixture to cool. Add cautiously a few drops of a concentrated solution of ferrous sulphate so that the fluids do not mix. If nitrates are present the junction shows at first a purple, afterwards a brown, color or if only a very minute quantity be present, a reddish color. To another portion of the solu- tion add 1 cc. of a 1% solution of sodium nitrate and test as before to determine whether sufficient sulphuric acid were added in the first test. ORGANIC AND AMMONIACAL NITROGEN ONLY. Kjeldahl Method.—Offcial. 1 6 REAGENTS. For ordinary work N/2 acid is recommended. For work in determining very small amounts of nitrogen N/10 acid is recommended. In titrating mineral acids against ammonium hydroxid solution use cochineal or methyl red as indicator. (a) Standard hydrochloric acid.—Determine the absolute strength as follows: Preliminary test.—Place a measured portion of the acid to be standardized in an Erlenmeyer flask with excess of calcium carbonate, to neutralize free acid, and a few drops of potassium chromate as indicator. By titration with silver nitrate solution determine exactly the quantity required to precipitate the chlorin. Final determination.—To a measured portion of the acid to be standardized add from the burette 1 drop in excess of the required quantity of silver nitrate solution as deter- mined by the preceding test. Heat to boiling, protect from the light, and allow to stand until the precipitate is granular. Filter on a tared Gooch crucible, previously heated to 140°-150°C., wash with hot water, testing the filtrate to prove excess of silver nitrate. Dry the silver chlorid at 140°-150°C., cool and weigh. (b) Standard sulphuric acid.—Determine the absolute strength of the acid by precipitation with barium chlorid solution as follows: Dilute a measured quantity of the acid to be standardized to approximately 100 ce., heat to boiling and add drop 6 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. by drop a 10 % solution of barium chlorid until no further precipitation occurs. Continue the boiling for about 5 minutes, allow to stand for 5 hours or longer ina warm place, pour the supernatant liquid on a tared Gooch or on an ashless filter, treat the precipitate with 25-30 cc. of boiling water, transfer to the filter and wash with boiling water until the filtrate is free from chlorin. Dry, ignite over a Bunsen burnery and weigh as barium sulphate. “(€) Standard alkali solution.—Accurately determine the strength of this solution by titration against the standard acid. N/10 solution is recommended. (d) Sulphuric acid.—Sp. gr. 1.84 and free from nitrates and ammonium sulphate. (e) Metallic mercury, or mercuric oxid.—Mercuric oxid should be prepared in the wet way, but not from mercuric nitrate. (f) Copper sulphate.—Crystallized. (8) Potassium permanganate.—Finely pulverized. (hy Granulated zinc or pumice stone.—Added to the contents of the distillation flask if necessary to prevent bumping. (i) Potassium sulphid solution.—Dissolve 40 grams of commercial potassium sulphid in 1 liter of water. (j) Sodium hydroxid solution.—A saturated solution, free from nitrates. (k) Cochineal solution.—Digest, with frequent agitation, 3 grams of pulverized cochineal in a mixture of 50 ce. of strong alcohol and 200 ce. of water for 1 or 2 days at ordinary temperature, and then filter. (1) Methyl red solution.—Dissolve 1 gram of methyl red (dimethyl-amino-azo- benzene-ortho-carbonic acid) in 100 ce. of 95% alcohol. Wea eter! APPARATUS. (a) Kjeldahl flasks for both digestion and distillation.—Total capacity of about 550 ec., made of hard, moderately thick, and well-annealed glass. (b) Distillation flasks.—For distillation any suitable flask of about 550 ce. capac- ity may be used. It is fitted with a rubber stopper through which passes the lower end of a Kjeldahl connecting bulb to prevent sodium hydroxid being carried over mechanically during distillation. The bulb should be about 3 cm. in diameter, and the tubes should be of the same diameter as the condenser tube with which the upper end of the bulb tube is connected by means of rubber tubing. 1 8 DETERMINATION. Place 0.7-3.5 grams, according to the nitrogen content, of the substance to be analyzed in a digestion flask with approximately 0.7 gram of mercuric oxid, or its equivalent in metallic mercury, and add 20-89 ce. of sulphuric acid (0.10.3 gram of crystallized copper sulphate may also be used in addition to the mercury, or in place of it). Place the flask in an inclined position and heat below the boiling point of the acid until frothing has ceased. (A small piece of paraffin may be added to prevent extreme foaming.) Then raise the heat until the acid boils briskly and digest for a time after the mixture is colorless or nearly so, or until oxidation is complete. Remove the flask from the flame, hold it upright, and while still hot add care- fully potassium permanganate in small quantities at a time until, after shaking, the liquid remains green or purple. After cooling dilute with about 200 cc. of water, add a few pieces of granulated zine or pumice stone, if necessary to prevent bumping, and 25 ce. of potassium sul- phid solution with shaking. Next add sufficient sodium hydroxid solution to make the reaction strongly alkaline, 50 cc. are usually enough, pouring it down the side of the flask so that it does not mix at once with the acid solution.

The first 150 cc. of the distillate will generally contain all the ammonia. The use of mercuric oxid in this operation greatly shortens the time necessary for digestion, which is rarely over an hour and a half in case of substances most difficult to oxidize, and is more commonly less than an hour. In most instances the use of potassium permanganate is quite unnecessary, but it is believed that in exceptional cases it is required for complete oxidation, and in view of the uncer- tainty it is always used. The potassium sulphid removes all the mercury from the solution, and so prevents the formation of mercuro-ammonium compounds which are not completely decomposed by the sodium hydroxid. The addition of zine gives rise to an evolution of hydrogen and prevents violent bumping. Previous to use the reagents should be tested by a blank experiment with sugar. The sugar partially reduces any nitrates present that might otherwise escape notice. Gunning Method.—Offcial. 19 REAGENTS. Potassium sulphate.—Pulverized. The other reagents and standard solutions used are described under 16. 20 APPARATUS. The apparatus used is described under 17. 21 DETERMINATION. Place 0.7-3.5 grams, according to the nitrogen content, of the substance to be analyzed in a digestion flask. Add 10 grams of powdered potassium sulphate and 15-25 cc. (ordinarily about 20 cc.) of sulphuric acid (0.1-0.3 gram of crystallized copper sulphate may also be added). Conduct the digestion as in the Kjeldahl process, starting with a temperature below the boiling point and increasing the heat gradually until frothing ceases. Digest for a time after the mixture is colorless or nearly so, or until oxidation is complete. Do not add either potassium permanganate or potassium sulphid. Cool, dilute, neutralize, distil, and titrate with the standard alkali. In neutralizing before distilling it is convenient to add a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator or litmus paper. The pink color given by phenolphthal- ein indicating an alkaline reaction is destroyed by a considerable excess of strong fixed alkali. Kjeldahl-Gunning-Arnold Method.—Offcial. 22 REAGENTS AND APPARATUS. Described under 16, 17 and 19. 23 DETERMINATION. Place 0.7-3.5 grams, according to the nitrogen content, of the substance to be analyzed in a digestion flask. Add 15-18 grams of potassium sulphate, 1 gram of copper sulphate, 1 gram of mercuric oxid, or its equivalent in metallic mercury, and 25 ce. of sulphuric acid. Heat gently until frothing ceases, then boil the mixture briskly, and continue the digestion for a time after the mixture is colorless or nearly so or until oxidation is complete. Cool, dilute with about 200 ce. of water, add 50 ce. of potassium sulphid solution, make strongly alkaline with sodium hydroxid solu- tion and complete the determination as directed under 18. 8 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap.

Place 0.7-3.5 grams, according to the nitrogen content, of the substance to be analyzed in a Kjeldahl digestion flask. (1) Add 30 cc. of sulphuric acid containing 1 gram of salicylic acid, shake until thoroughly mixed, allow to stand for at least 30 minutes, and then add 5 grams of crystallized sodium thiosulphate and digest as directed below; or, (2) Add to the substance 30 cc. of sulphuric acid containing 2 grams of salicylic acid, allow to stand at least 30 minutes and then add gradually 2 grams of zine dust, shaking the contents of the flask at the same time and digest as follows: Place the flask on the stand for holding the digestion flasks and heat over a low flame until all danger from frothing has passed. Then raise the heat until the acid boils briskly and continue the boiling until white fumes no longer escape from the flask. This requires about 5-10 minutes. Add approximately 0.7 gram of mercuric oxid, or its equivalent in metallic mercury, and continue the boiling until the liquid in the flask is colorless, or nearly so. In case the contents of the flask are likely to become solid before this point is reached, add 10 cc. more of sulphuric acid. Complete the oxidation with a little potassium permanganate in the usual way and proceed as directed under 18. The reagents should be tested by blank experiments. Gunning Method Modified to include the Nitrogen of Nitrates.—Official. 27 REAGENTS AND APPARATUS. The reagents and standard solutions are described under 16, 17, 19 and 24. 28 DETERMINATION.

After the tube is filled hold in a horizontal position and tap gently on the table in order that a canal may be formed in the upper portion of the fine cupric oxid. Place the tube in the combustion furnace, leave about 2.5 cm. of it projecting and connect with the pump by a rubber stopper smeared with glycerol, taking care to make the connection perfectly tight. In order to protect the latter from the heat, place an asbestos plate, having a circular opening in the center, over the projecting end of the tube. Exhaust the air from the tube by means of the pump. When a vacuum has been obtained, allow the flow of mercury to continue; light the gas under that part of the 10 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. tube containing the metallic copper, the anterior layer of cupric oxid and the sodium bicarbonate. As soon as the vacuum is destroyed and he apparatus filled w'th carbon dioxid, shut off the flow of mercury and at once introduce the delivery tube of the pump into the receiving arm of the azotometer Just below the surface of the mercury seal so that the escaping bubbles will pass into the air and not into the tube, to avoid the useless saturation of the caustic potash solution. When the flow of carbon dioxid has very nearly or completely ceased, pass the delivery tube down into the receiving arm so that the bubbles will escape into the azotometer. Light the gas under the 30 cm. layer of oxid, heat gently for a few minutes, to drive out any moisture that may be present, and then bring to a red heat. Heat gradually the mixture of substance and oxid, lighting a jet ata time. Avoid a too rapid evolution of bubbles, which should be allowed to escape at the rate of about one per second or a little faster. When the burners under the mixture have all been turned on, light the gas under the layer of oxid at the end of the tube. When the evolution of bubbles has ceased, turn out all the burners except those under the metallic copper and anterior layer of oxid, and allow to cool for a few min- utes. Exhaust with the pump and remove the azotometer before the flow of mercury has stopped. Break the connection of the tube with the pump, stop the flow of mercury, and extinguish the burners. Allow the azotometer to stand for at least an hour, or cool with a stream of water until the volume and temperature become constant. Adjust accurately the level of the potassium hydroxid solution in the bulb to that in the azotometer; note the volume of the nitrogen, temperature, and height of barometer; calculate the weight of the nitrogen as usual.

Place 0.7-3.5 grams, according to the ammonia content, of the substance to be analyzed in a distillation flask with about 200 cc. of water and 5 grams or more of magnesium oxid, free from carbonates. Then connect the flask with a condenser and distil 100 ec. of the liquid into a measured quantity of standard acid and titrate with standard alkali solution. NITRIC AND AMMONIACAL NITROGEN. 33 Ulsch-Street Method.—Official. Place 1 gram of the sample in a half-liter flask, add about 30 ce. of water and 2-3 grams of reduced iron, and, after standing sufficiently long to insure solution of the soluble nitrates and ammonium salts, add 10 ce. of a mixture of strong sulphuric acid with an equal volume of water; shake thoroughly, place a long-stemmed funnel in the neck of the flask to prevent mechanical loss, and allow to stand for a short time until the violence of the reaction has moderated. Heat the solution slowly, boil for 5 minutes, and cool. Add about 100 ce. of water, a little paraffin, and 7-10 grams of magnesium oxid, free or nearly free from carbonates. Connect with a condenser, such as is used in the Kjeldah! method, and boil the mixture for 40 minutes, nearly to dryness; collect the ammonia in a measured quantity of standard acid, and titrate with standard alkali solution in the usual manner. The nitrogen obtained represents the nitrates plus the ammonium salts contained in the sample. In the analysis of nitrate salts proceed as above, except that 25 ce. of the nitrate solution, equivalent to 9.25 gram of the sample, are employed with 5 grams of re- duced iron After boiling add 75 ce. of water and an excess of sodium hydroxid solution and complete the determination as above. I] FERTILIZERS Lt 34 Zinc-Iron Method.—Offcial. Dissolve 10 grams of the sample in water and dilute to 500 cc. Place 25 cc. of this solution, corresponding to 0.5 gram of the substance, in a 400 ce. distillation flask, add 120 ce. of water, 5 grams of well-washed and dried zinc dust, and 5 grams of reduced iron. To the solution add 80 cc. of saturated sodium hydroxid solution, connect the flask with the condensing apparatus and conduct the distillation simul- taneously with the reduction, collecting the ammonia in standard acid. Continue the distillation until 100 cc. have been distilled and titrate with standard alkali solution. NITROGEN IN NITRATE SALTS. 35 Ferrous Sulphate-Zinc-Soda Method.—Tentative. Place 0.5 gram of the nitrate salt in a 600-700 cc. flask, add 200 cc. of water, 5 grams of powdered zinc, 1-2 grams of ferrous sulphate, and 50 cc. of sodium hy- droxid solution (36° Baumé). Connect with the distilling apparatus, distil, collect the distillate in the usual way in N/10 sulphuric acid and titrate with standard alkali solution. ORGANIC NITROGEN SOLUBLE IN NEUTRAL PERMANGANATE.—OFFICIAL. 36 = Preliminary Test (Determination of Water-Insoluble Organic Nitrogen). Place 1 gram of the material on an 11 em. filter paper and wash with water at room temperature until the filtrate measures 250 ce. Dry and determine nitrogen in the residue as in 18 or 21, making a correction for the nitrogen of the filter, if necessary. 37 DETERMINATION. Place a quantity of the fertilizer, equivalent to 50 mg. of water-insoluble organic nitrogen as determined in 36, on a moistened 11 cm. filter paper and wash with water at room temperature until the filtrate measures 250 cc. Transfer the insoluble residue with 25 ce. of tepid water to a 300 cc. Griffin low-form beaker, add 1 gram of sodium carbonate, mix, and add 100 cc. of 2% permanganate. Cover with a watch glass and immerse for 30 minutes in a steam or hot water bath so that the level of the liquid in the beaker is below that of the water in the bath. Stir twice at inter- vals of 10 minutes. At the end of the digestion remove from the bath, add immedi- ately 100 ce. of cold water, and filter through a heavy 15 em. folded filter. Wash with small quantities of cold water until the filtrate measures about 400 cc. De- termine nitrogen in the residue and filter, as in18 or 21, correcting for the nitrogen contained in the latter. The nitrogen thus obtained is the inactive water-insoluble organic nitrogen. Subtract this result from that obtained in 36 to obtain the percentage of organic nitrogen soluble in neutral permanganate. ORGANIC NITROGEN SOLUBLE IN ALKALINE PERMANGANATE.—OFFICIAL. (Not applicable to fertilizers containing cottonseed meal or castor pomace.) 38 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.

When much oil or fat is present, it is well to wash with ether before extracting with water. 39 DETERMINATION. Dry the residue of 38 at a temperature not exceeding 80°C. and transfer from the filter to a 500-600 ec. Kjeldahl distillation flask. Add 20 ec. of water, 15-20 small glass beads, or fragments of pumice stone, a piece of paraffin the size of a pea, and 100 cc. of alkaline permanganate solution (25 grams of pure potassium permanganate and 150 grams of sodium hydroxid, separately dissolved in water, the solutions cooled, mixed, and made to a volume of 1 liter). Connect with an upright condenser to the lower end of which a receiver containing standard acid has been attached. Digest slowly, for at least 30 minutes, below distillation point, with a very low flame, using coarse wire gauze and asbestos paper between the flask and flame. Gradually raise the temperature and, after any danger from frothing has passed, distil until 95 cc. of the distillate are obtained, and titrate as usual. When a tendency to froth is noticed, lengthen the digestion period and no trouble will be experienced when the distillation is begun. During the digestion gently rotate the flask occasionally, particularly if the material shows a tendency to adhere to the sides. The nitrogen thus obtained is the active water-insoluble organic nitrogen. POTASH. Method I. Lindo-Gladding Method.—Oficial. 40 REAGENTS.

Sampling should be done preferably when the soil is reasonably dry. Remove from the surface all vegetable material not incorporated with the soi!. With a soil auger or tube, whichever may be better adapted to the soil conditions, take a sufficient number of sub-samples at properly distributed points to secure composite samples representative of the entire tract. (a) Surface soil—Take a composite sample representative of the entire tract to a depth of either (1) 6 inches, (2) the average depth of the plowed soil if this ex- ceeds 6 inches, or (3) a maximum depth of 12 inches when there is no clear line of demarcation between the soil and sub-soil above this depth. (b) Sub-soil.—Take a composite sample of each important and distinctly different soil stratum below the surface section already sampled to a total depth of 40 inches. If a soil auger is used, before taking sub-soil samples the hole should be enlarged and carefully cleaned out with the auger to prevent contamination of the several substrata when the sample is being withdrawn. Mix each composite sample thoroughly and, after cutting down by quartering to about 2-4 pounds, air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. It is recommended that the weight of a given volume of the soil as it lies in the field be taken for calculating the percentage results obtained by analysis to pounds per given area of the soil. 2 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. After air-drying and weighing the sample, pulverize in a porcelain mortar, using a rubber-tipped pestle to avoid the reduction of rock fragments, and pass through a sieve with circular openings 1/25 inch (1 mm.) in diameter. Discard the detritus and weigh. Thoroughly mix the sifted material and preserve in a suitable stoppered container. For the quantitative determination of any of the constituents, prepare a very finely pulverized sub-sample of the sifted material, using an agate mortar. 3 MOISTURE.—OFFICIAL. Dry 2 or more grams of the sample, as prepared under 2, in a tared platinum dish for 5 hours at the temperature of boiling water; cover the dish, cool in a desiccator, and weigh rapidly to prevent the absorption of moisture. Heat, cool, and weigh at intervals of 2 hours to constant weight. The loss of weight is reported as moisture. 4 VOLATILE MATTER.—OFFICIAL. Heat the dish and dry soil from 3 to full redness, stirring occasionally, until all or- ganic matter is destroyed. If the soil contains appreciable quantities of carbonates, cool and moisten with a few drops of saturated ammonium carbonate solution, dry and heat to dull redness to expel ammonium salts; cool in a desiccator and weigh. 17 18 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. ORGANIC CARBON.—OFFICIAL. 5 APPARATUS. (a) A calorimeter bomb.—Use a type that permits the recovery and transfer of the entire solid residue of the exploded charge to a small vessel by means of a jet of water. (b) Parr’s apparatus for determining carbon dioxid.\—Illustrated in Fig22: FIG. 2. PARR’S APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CARBON DIOXID. This consists of a 150 cc. Erlenmeyer flask (F) fitted with a 3-holed stopper through 2 of which the stems of 2 dropping funnels (S) and (A) extend almost to the bottom of the flask. A capillary tube, passing through the third hole and flush with the bottom of the stopper, connects with the gas burette (B). (C) A simple Hemple gas pipette—Contains 30% potassium hydroxid solution. 6 DETERMINATION. Introduce 2 grams of soil as prepared under 2 (1 gram if high in organic matter), 0.75 gram of magnesium powder, and 10 grams of sodium peroxid, into the closed dry calorimeter bomb, and mix thoroughly by shaking the bomb back and forth. Explode the charge by means of an electric spark or by dropping a red hot plug into the bomb through an automatic valve which closes immediately after the plug enters. Remove the residue from the bomb, using as little hot water as possible, heat to boiling, and transfer to the receiving funnel (S) of Parr’s apparatus. From the acid funnel (A) run 50 ce. of sulphuric acid (1 to 2) into the flask (F). Connect the apparatus and slowly add the contents from the receiving funnel (S). The carbon dioxid gener- ated passes through the capillary tube into the graduated burette (B). Heat the contents of the flask (/’) to boiling and boil for 1 minute, then force the gases into the graduated burette (B) by introducing water into the flask (F) through the fun- nel (S). Read the burette, recording the temperature and pressure. Pass the gas into an ordinary absorption pipette containing 30% potassium hydroxid solution. Shake the gas with the solution until carbon dioxid is wholly absorbed. Return the II] SOILS ' 19 residual gas to the graduated burette (B), and again read the burette noting the temperature and pressure. The difference in readings calculated to standard con- ditions of temperature and pressure gives the number of cc. of carbon dioxid derived from the total carbon in the sample. Conduct a blank determination upon the reagents used. If an appreciable amount of carbon dioxid is obtained in the blank, the result expressed in terms of total carbon must be corrected accordingly. Determine the inorganic carbon as directed under 9 and subtract it from the total carbon to obtain the organic carbon. INORGANIC CARBON. Modified Marr Method.’—Tentative. 7 REAGENTS.

(d) Barium hydroxid solution.—Prepare a saturated aqueous solution of barium hydroxid, filter through asbestos into a large container through which air free from carbon dioxid has been aspirated for some time, and provide an arrangement whereby the solution may be delivered by air pressure or gravity and kept from contact with carbon dioxid by means of soda lime tubes. (@) Carbon dioxid-free water.—Use recently boiled and cooled water, or water from which carbon dioxid has been removed by aeration for a sufficient length of time with carbon dioxid-free air.

Connect the barium hydroxid container by means of the pinch-cock (N) and rubber tube; open the pinch-cock (N) and allow sufficient barium hydroxid solution to flow into the Meyer absorption apparatus to fill 3 or 4 of the small bulbs; close the pinch-cock (NV); substitute the barium hydroxid container by the carbon dioxid-free water container; open the pinch-cock (N) and add sufficient carbon dioxid-free water to fill all the small bulbs and most of the lower large bulb. Through the separatory funnel (B), add 80 cc. of carbon dioxid-free water to the sample in the flask (C), avoiding the entrance of any air, open the pinch-cock (QO) and heat to boiling, protecting the flask from the direct flame by a wire gauze with an asbestos center. Adjust the burner so that 2-3 min- utes are required for the contents of the flask to reach boiling temperature and boil until bubbles no longer pass through the Meyer absorption apparatus. Then close the pinch-cock (OQ), and run into the flask (C), avoiding the entrance of any air, 20 cc. of the dilute hydrochloric acid through the separatory funnel which is then connected with the tube (A). This proportion of hydrochloric acid plus the 89 cc. of water previously added, gives an acid (2to 100) for the decomposition of carbonates. If the nature of the soil is such that a greater strength of acid is considered necessary, an amount of acid (3 to 100) may be used for digesting the soil. Shake the Meyer apparatus (2) gently, so that the liquid in the lower large bulb is brought into con- tact with the gas therein, and open (O) carefully, but do not allow more than a few bubbles to escape before shaking again. Repeat the operation several times until bubbles no longer pass through the Meyer apparatus (#) when (O) is opened. Leave (O) open, and continue the boiling for about 25 minutes until carbon dioxid gas is no longer evolved from the sample in the flask (C). Maintain a constant flow of cold water through the condenser (D). Do not allow the boiling to become so violent that liquid is drawn up into the condenser tube. If foaming is troublesome, add a drop of non-volatile oil through the separatory funnel (B). When the evolution of carbon dioxid has ceased, close (O) and break the vacuum by cautiously opening the stop-cock (@) drawing in air through the tube (4). Disconnect the Meyer apparatus (Z) and filter by the Cain method as follows: Prepare a filter by covering a perforated porcelain plate within a carbon funnel with a layer of asbestos, and a layer of ground quartz, both of which have previously been TI] SOILS 21 purified by digestion with hydrochloric acid and thorough washing with water. The filter tube passes through a 1-holed rubber stopper which fits into a side arm filtering flask. The side arm of this flask is connected to the suction pipe by a 2-way stop-cock. In the top of the filter tube is fitted a 2-holed rubber stopper carrying glass tubes bent at right angles. To these tubes are attached rubber tubing bearing pinch-cocks. One of these rubber tubes terminates in a tube containing soda lime. The other rubber tube is connected with one end of the Meyer apparatus. The other end of the Meyer apparatus is attached to a bottle containing carbon dioxid-free water by means of a well-washed rubber tube and a glass tube extending to the bottom of the bottle. This glass tube passes through a 2-holed rubber stop- per. In the other hole of the stopper is placed a tube containing soda lime. A pinch-cock is placed on the tube joining the water bottle and the Meyer apparatus. This cock is kept closed until the precipitate on the filter is ready for washing. With the pinch-cock on the air outlet of the filter tube closed and the pinch-cock from the filter tube to the Meyer apparatus open, apply gentle suction to the filter flask until the contents of the Meyer apparatus have been transferred to the filter. When necessary, the pinch-cock to the air inlet of the filter tube is opened to admit air behind the liquid in the Meyer apparatus. Open the pinch-cock be- tween the wash-water bottle and the Meyer apparatus and open the stop-cock lead- ing from the filter flask so.as to maintain a gentle suction. By manipulation of the Meyer apparatus the wash water comes in contact with all parts of the interior of the apparatus, after which the water is sucked through the filter. After this thorough washing admit air through the side opening of the stop-cock leading to the filter flask. Disconnect the apparatus, remove the filter pad with the barium carbonate from the filter tube by means of a glass rod, place in a beaker and add a measured amount of N/10 hydrochloric acid in excess, first rinsing the Meyer bulbs with a small amount, carefully measured, of this acid and water. Titrate the excess of acid with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using methyl orange as indicator. Make a blank determination under the same conditions and apply the necessary correction. From the amount of N/10 hydrochloric acid required to neutralize the barium carbonate formed by the carbon dioxid in the sample, calculate the quantity of inorganic carbon. One cc. of N/10 acid corresponds to 0.0006 gram of carbon. 10 TOTAL NITROGEN.—OFFICIAL. Place 7-14 grams of the soil, as prepared under 2, in a 300 cc. Kjeldahl digestion flask with 30 cc., or more if necessary, of concentrated sulphuric acid and 0.7 gram of mercuric oxid, or 0.65 gram of mercury. Mix immediately by shaking to prevent the soil from adhering to the sides of the flask. Heat over a low flame, increase the heat gradually, and rotate the flask frequently or shake if necessary to prevent the con- tents from sticking to the bottom of the flask. When all the organic matter is de- stroyed, continue the digestion for 1 hour. Oxidize the residue with potassium permanganate, carefully adding small portions at a time to the hot liquid until, after shaking, the liquid remains green or purple. After cooling, dilute the contents of the flask with 100 cc. of water and transfer to a 700 cc. copper flask, using about 150 cc. of water to wash out the digestion flask. Add an excess of strong alkali solution containing potassium sulphid, connect the flask with a distilling apparatus, mix the contents thoroughly and complete the determination as directed in I, 18. 22, METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. STRONG ACID DIGESTION OF THE SOIL 11 PREPARATION OF SOIL SOLUTION.—OFFICIAL. Place an amount of soil, as prepared under 2 and equivalent to 10 grams on a mois- ture-free basis, in a 200-300 cc. non-soluble glass Erlenmeyer flask to whichis fitted, by a ground joint or 1-holed rubber stopper, a reflux tube 20 inches or more in length. Add 100ce. of hydrochloric acid of constant boiling point (approximate sp. gr. 1.115, 1350 cc. of acid (sp. gr. 1.19), and 1000 cc. of water), and digest continuously for 10 hours on a steam or water bath, shaking the flask every hour. Allow to settle, and avoiding more than very small quantities of the sediment, decant the solution into a porcelain dish or non-soluble glass beaker. Transfer by means of hot water the insoluble residue to a filter, wash until free from chlorin and add the washings to the original solution. Concentrate, oxidize the organic matter present in the solution with a few drops of nitric acid and evaporate to dryness on a water bath. Treat with hot water, add a few cc. of hydrochloric acid and again evaporate to com- plete dryness. When the final evaporation is complete and the dish cooled, moisten the residue with a few drops of strong hydrochloric acid. Add 10-20 cc. of water, warm on the bath to secure complete solution of the soluble salts, filter and wash until free from chlorin. Again evaporate the solution to dryness to render insoluble any silica that may remain in solution, and treat as above. The filtrate constitutes the acid extract freed of soluble silica, and is made up to a definite volume (250 or 500 cc.) and designated as A. ) 12 INSOLUBLE RESIDUE.—OFFICIAL. Combine the filters and the main residue obtained in 11 in a small dish, dry, ignite over a Bunsen flame for an hour or more, carefully at first, then completely over a blast lamp to constant weight. Weigh and calculate as the insoluble residue. This residue may be analyzed by the usual methods applicable to silicates or it may be employed in the determination of total alkalies as described under 26. If it is desired to determine the silica soluble in alkalies, treat a separate portion of the soil as directed in 11, except that all filtrations must be made through the same hard- ened filter, then, without igniting, wash the insoluble residue into a platinum dish, dry at 100°C. and complete the determination as directed under III, 4 (a). 13 IRON, ALUMINIUM AND PHOSPHORIC ACID, COLLECTIVELY.—OFFICIAL. (1) To an aliquot (50 or 100 cc., according to the probable amount of iron present) of A, under 11, add ammonium hydroxid, drop by drop, until the precipi- tate formed requires several seconds to dissolve, thus leaving the solution but faint- ly acid. Heat nearly to the boiling point, and add ammonium hydroxid to precipi- tate all of the iron, aluminium, etc. Boil in a covered beaker for about 1 minute, remove, and if no ammonia is given off (detected by smelling) continue the addi- tion, drop by drop, until ammonia can be detected. Do not allow the precipitate to settle, but stir and pour on the filter. Wash immediately with hot water, using a fine jet which is played around the edge of the precipitate, thus cutting it free from the paper in order to produce rapid filtration. Wash the precipitate several times, return it to the original beaker, dissolve with a few drops of hydrochloric acid and warm. Reprecipitate the iron, aluminium and phosphoric acid with ammonium hydroxid as above and wash until free from chlorin. Designate the filtrate as B. Dry the filter and precipitate, remove the latter from the filter, ignite the filter separately and add to its ash the precipitate. Then ignite to bright redness, cool II] SOILS 23 in a desiccator and weigh as ferric oxid (Fe.O3), aluminium oxid (Al,03), and phos- phorus pentoxid (P,0;). Transfer this residue to a flask, digest with several cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to4), and heat to accelerate solution. When solution is complete reduce with zinc and determine the ferrous iron by titration with a standard per- manganate solution, and calculate to ferric oxid; or, (2) In lieu of the above, evapo- rate 50 or 100cc. of A, under11, with the addition of 10 cc. of su phuric acid until all hydrochloric acid is expelled, dilute with water, reduce with zine and determine the ferrous iron by titration with a standard permanganate solution and calculate to ferric oxid. The weight of ferric oxid, plus that of the phosphorus pentoxid, determined under 17 or 19, subtracted from the collective weight of ferric oxid, aluminium oxid, and phosphorus pentoxid, gives the weight of the aluminium oxid. 14 MANGANESE.—OFFICIAL. Concentrate B, under 13, to about 50 cc., cool, add bromin water until the solution is colored, make alkaline with ammonium hydroxid, and heat to boiling in a covered beaker; cool, and repeat the addition of bromin water, of ammonium hydroxid and boil again. If a precipitate is obtained, slightly acidify the solution with acetic acid, filter immediately, and wash with hot water. Dry the precipitate, ignite and weigh as manganomanganic oxid (Mn;0,). Designate the filtrate, or if there is no precipitate, the original solution, as C. 15 CALCIUM.—OFFICIAL. Concentrate C, under 14, to about 50 cc., make slightly alkaline with ammonium hydroxid, and add, while still hot, ammonium oxalate solution, drop by drop, slightly in excess of complete precipitation, to convert the magnesium also into oxalate. Heat to boiling, allow the precipitate to settle completely, decant the clear solution on a filter, pour 15-20 cc. of hot water on the precipitate, and again decant the clear solution on the filter. Dissolve the precipitate in the beaker with a few drops of hydrochloric acid. add a little water, repeat the precipitation as above, and filter through the same filter; transfer the precipitate to the filter and wash free from chlo- rin with hot water; dry, ignite the precipitate over the blast lamp to constant weight, and weigh as calcium oxid. Designate the filtrate and washings as D. 16 MAGNESIUM.—OFFICIAL. Evaporate D, under 15, to dryness on the water bath and heat carefully to expel ammonium salts. Treat the residue with 20-25 ce. of hot water and about 5 ce. of hydrochloric acid, filter and wash. Concentrate to about 50 cc., cool, and add suffi- cient disodium hydrogen phosphate solution to precipitate the magnesium; then add gradually ammonium hydroxid, with constant stirring, until the solution is distinctly alkaline. Determine if the precipitation is complete by the addition of more of the disodium hydrogen phosphate solution. After 30 minutes, add gradually 10 cc. of strong ammonium hydroxid, cover to prevent the escape of ammonia, and let stand in the cold. Filter after 12 hours, wash the precipitate free from chlorin, using dilute ammonium hydroxid [I, 4 (d)j, dry the filter and precipitate and trans- fer the latter to a weighed porcelain crucible. Ignite the filter separately and add its ash to the precipitate in the crucible. Burn at first at a moderate heat, then ignite to whiteness or to a grayish white, weigh as magnesium pyrophosphate (Mg,P.0;) and caleulate to magnesium oxid (MgO). 24 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. PHOSPHORIC ACID. 17 Gravimetric Method.—Official. Concentrate 100-200 ce. of A, under 11, to about 25-30 cc., neutralize with ammo- nium hydroxid and add about 10 cc. additional. Dissolve the precipitate by the slow addition of dilute nitric acid, stirring constantly and avoiding a large excess, add gradually about 20 cc. of molybdate solution [I, 4 (a) ], and allowto stand for 1 or 2 hours in a water bath at a temperature of 40°C. After an hour determine if the precipitation is complete, as follows: Pipette about 5 cc. of the clear liquid into 5 ce. of warm molybdate solution. If any precipitate is produced, return the test liquid to the main portion, add more molybdate solution, and repeat the operation until all the phosphoric acid is precipitated. Then allow to stand for several hours at room temperature, preferably overnight. Filter off the ammonium phosphomolyb- date, wash the precipitate thoroughly with cold water, dissolve with ammonium hydroxid, and determine as magnesium pyrophosphate, as directed under I, 6 and calculate to phosphorus pentoxid (P.Os5). Volumetric Method.—Tentative. 18 REAGENTS. (a) Standard sodium or potassium hydrozid solution.—Strength such that 1 cc. of this solution is equivalent to 0.0005 gram of phosphorus pentoxid (P20;). (b) Standard nitric acid solution.—Strength same as the standard alkali solution described under (a) as determined by titration, using phenolphthalein as indicator. 19 DETERMINATION. Proceed as in 17 until all the phosphoric acid is precipitated and then complete the determination in the following manner: Allow the solution containing the yellow precipitate to stand for at least 3 hours at a temperature not above 40°C., filter on a small filter paper or on a Gooch crucible and wash with cold water until the filtrate from 2 fillings of the filter yields a slight pink color on the addition of phenolphthalein and 1 drop of the standard alkali. Return the filter and precipitate to the same beaker used for precipitating the phosphomolybdate, dissolve the yellow precipitate in the standard sodium or potas- sium hydroxid solution, add a few drops of phenolphthalein and titrate the excess of alkali with the standard acid. Calculate to phosphorus pentoxid (P20s). 20 SULPHURIC ACID.—OFFICIAL. Evaporate 100-200 cc. of A, under 11, nearly to dryness on a water bath to expel the excess of acid, add 50 cc. of water, heat to boiling and add, drop by drop, 10% barium chlorid solution until no further precipitation occurs. Continue the boiling for about 5 minutes and allow to stand for 5 hours or longer ina warm place. Decant the liquid on an ashless filter or tared Gooch, previously heated, treat the precipitate with 15-20 ce. of boiling water, transfer to the filter and wash free from chlorin with boiling water. Dry the precipitate and filter, ignite, weigh as barium sulphate and calculate to sulphur trioxid (SOs). POTASSIUM AND SODIUM. 21 Method I.—Official. (1) Treat the filtrate from 20 with ammonium hydroxid exactly as in 13. Evaporate the filtrate and washings to dryness, heat below redness until ammo- nium salts are expelled, dissolve in hot water, add 5 cc. of barium hydroxid solution, II) SOILS 25 and heat to boiling; let settle for a few minutes, and determine if the precipitation is complete by the addition of barium hydroxid solution to a little of the clear liquid. When no further precipitate is produced, filter and wash thoroughly with hot water. Heat the filtrate to boiling, add ammonium hydroxid and ammonium carbonate to complete the precipitation of the barium, calcium, etc., let stand a short time on the water bath, filter, and wash the precipitate thoroughly with hot water; evaporate the filtrate and washings to dryness, expel ammonium salts by heating below red- ness, treat with a little hot water, add a few drops of ammonium hydroxid, 1 or 2 drops of ammonium carbonate, and a few drops of ammonium oxalate; let stand a few minutes on the water bath, set aside for a few hours, filter, evaporate to complete dryness on the water bath, and heat to dull redness until all ammonium salts are expelled and the residue is nearly or quite white. Dissolve in a minimum amount of water, filter into a tared platinum dish, add a few drops of hydrochloric acid, evap- orate to dryness on the water bath, heat to dull redness, cool in a desiccator, and weigh as potassium and sodium chlorids. Repeat the heating until constant weight is obtained. Dissolve in a small amount of water; if any residue remains, the sepa- ration must be repeated until the residue of potassium and sodium chlorids is entirely soluble. Dissolve the residue with water, add an excess of platinic chlorid solution [I, 40 (b)], proceed as directed under I, 45 and calculate to potassium oxid (K,O); or, (2) Instead of the foregoing, evaporate to dryness a fresh aliquot of A, under 11, redissolve in water, treat directly with barium hydroxid solution, and from this point proceed as directed above in (1). 22 Method II.—Tentative. Proceed as in 21 through ‘‘let stand a short time on the water bath” (the point at which the barium, calcium, etc., have been precipitated with ammonium hydroxid and ammonium carbonate) and then proceed as follows: Filter into a beaker, add 1 or 2 drops of hydrochloric acid and 1 ce. of ammonium sulphate (75 grams to 1 liter), digest several hours on a water bath, and filter into a tared platinum dish. Evaporate to dryness, heat to full redness, add 1 gram of powdered ammonium carbonate; heat to expel excess of ammonium carbonate, cool, and weigh the sulphates of sodium and potassium. Determine potassium as directed under I, 42 (a) and calculate to potassium oxid (K20). TOTAL PHOSPHORUS. 23 Magnesium Nitrate Method.—Official. Place 5 grams of soil, as prepared under 2, in a porcelain dish. Moisten with 5-7 ec. of magnesium nitrate solution [I, 4 (e) ]. Dry on the water bath and burn off the organic matter at low redness. Cool, moisten slightly with water, add 10 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and digest 2 hours on the water bath, keeping the dish covered with a watch glass and stirring 2 or 3 times during the digestion. Trans- fer to a 250 cc. graduated flask, cool, fill to the mark, mix well, and pass through a dry folded filter, pouring back on the filter until the filtrate becomes clear. Pipette an aliquot corresponding to 2 or 4 grams of the soil, depending upon the amount of phosphorus present, into a porcelain dish, evaporate to dryness, treat with hydro- chloric acid and water, filter, and wash; the combined volume should not exceed 40 cc. Make alkaline with ammonium hydroxid, and dissolve the precipitate by the slow addition of concentrated nitric acid, using a slight excess. Add gradu- ally, while shaking, 5-15 cc. of molybdate solution [I, 7 (a) |]. Keep the solution at 40°-50°C. for an hour, let stand overnight at room temperature, filter, and wash well with cold water. Return the filter and precipitate to the same flask and deter- mine phosphorus volumetrically, as directed under 19. 26 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 24 Sodium Peroxid Method.—Official. Place 10 grams of sodium peroxid in an iron or porcelain crucible and thoroughly mix with 5 grams of the soil as prepared under 2. If the soil has very little organic matter, add a little starch to hasten the action. Heat the mixture carefully by applying the flame of a Bunsen burner directly upon the surface of the charge and the sides of the crucible until the action starts. Cover the crucible until the re- action is over and keep at a low red heat for 15 minutes. Do not allow fusion to take place. By means of a large funnel and a stream of hot water, wash the charge into a beaker, acidify with hydrochloric acid and boil. Transfer to a 500 cc. gradu- ated flask, cool and fill to the mark. If the action has taken place properly there should be no undecomposed soil in the bottom of the flask. Allow the silica to settle and draw off 200 cc. of the clear solution. Precipitate the iron, aluminium, and phosphorus with ammonium hydroxid; filter, wash several times with hot water, wash the precipitate back into the beaker with a stream of hot water, and dissolve the precipitate in hot hydrochloric acid, pouring the acid upon the filter to dissolve any precipitate adhering to it. Evapo- rate the solution and washings to dryness on a water bath. Treat with dilute hy- drochloric acid, heating if necessary, and remove the silica by filtration. Con- centrate the filtrate and washings to about 10 cc., add 2 cc. of strong nitric acid, and make alkaline with ammonium hydroxid. Add nitric acid very slowly and with constant stirring until the solution is clear, avoiding an excess. Heat at 40°-50°C. on a water bath, add 15 cc. of molybdate solution, [I, 7 (a) ], and maintain this tem- perature for 1-2 hours. Let stand overnight, filter, and wash free from acid with 0.1% solution of ammonium nitrate, and, finally, once or twice with cold water. Transfer the filter and precipitate to the same beaker and determine phosphorus volumetrically as directed under 19. 25 TOTAL POTASSIUM.—OFFICIAL. Decompose the soil by the J. L. Smith method‘ as follows: Triturate gently 0.5 or 1 gram of the finely ground soil with 1 gram of dry ammonium chlorid in a smooth mortar, then add 8 parts of calcium carbonate and mix intimately. Trans- fer the mixture to a platinum crucible, rinsing the mortar with a little calcium car- bonate. Heat the crucible gradually until fumes of ammonium salts no longer appear, and continue until the lower three-fourths only of the crucible are brought to ared heat. Maintain this temperature 40-60 minutes. The temperature should be sufficient to keep the calcium chlorid formed by the reaction of ammonium chlo- rid with calcium carbonate in a state of fusion. The mass, however, does not be- come liquid since the fused calcium chlorid is absorbed by the large quantity of calcium carbonate present. If the silicate is fused by the application of too strong heat, disintegration of the mass at the end of the operation with water cannot be effected. Moreover, too high a temperature causes volatilization of alkali chlorids. The mass contracts in volume during the ignition, and is usually easily detached from the crucible. Transfer the fused mass to a porcelain dish, thoroughly slake with hot water, and grind thoroughly with an agate pestle. After washing 5. times by decantation with hot water, transfer to a filter and wash well, 300 cc. of wash water being sufficient. To the filtrate add 10 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and evaporate nearly to dryness in a porcelain dish. Treat with hot water and 2 ec. of hydrochloric acid and filter by means of suction through a small filter into a 150 cc. Jena beaker. Concentrate the solution to 30 cc., add 1.5 ce. of platinic chlorid solution [I, 40 (b) ], evaporate to a sirupy consistency, and add 15 cc. of 2.25 N/1 acidulated alcohol (prepared by passing hydrochloric acid gas into a mix- II] SOILS 27 ture of 2000 cc. of 95% alcohol and 152 cc. of hydrochloric acid, sp. gr. 1.20). Fil- ter by means of suction through a small filter, wash with 80% alcohol, then with ammonium chlorid solution [I, 40 (a) ], and finally with 80% alcohol. Dry the precipitate on the filter and wash the precipitate with hot water into a weighed platinum dish, using suction. Evaporate to dryness, heat in a drying oven for an hour at 120°C., cool in a desiccator, weigh and calculate to potassium oxid (K,0). TOTAL ALKALIES. 26 J. Lawrence Smith Method.A—Official. (1) Proceed as directed under 25 to the point indicated by the phrase ‘300 ce. of wash water being sufficient’’ (the point at which the ignited mass has been disintegrated and thoroughly washed with water). The filtrate contains the sili- cate alkalies in the form of chlorids together with calcium chlorid and hydroxid. Precipitate the calcium at once with ammonium carbonate solution; allow to settle, decant the supernatant liquid into a porcelain (or platinum) dish, concentrate and finally transfer the precipitate to the dish. When the volume is reduced to about 30 cc., add a little ammonium carbonate solution and ammonium hydroxid, heat and filter into a porcelain (or platinum) dish, evaporate the filtrate to dryness on a water bath and expel ammonium salts by ignition. Dissolve the residual alkali chlorids in 3-5 ec. of water; a little black or dark brown flocculent matter usually remains undissolved, while the solution may also contain traces of calcium. Add 2-3 drops of ammonium carbonate and ammonium hydroxid, warm gently, and fil- ter through a very small filter into a weighed platinum vessel. Evaporate to dry- ness on a water bath, heat the alkali chlorids to incipient fusion, cool, and weigh as sodium and potassium chlorids; or, (2) Determine, by the above method, the quantity of alkalies in the insoluble residue, 12, and add that obtained under 21 or 22. 27 PHOSPHORUS SOLUBLE IN N/5 NITRIC ACID.—TENTATIVE. Digest 10 grams of air-dried soil in a stoppered flask, with 100 cc. of N/5 nitric acid, for exactly 5 hours in a water bath kept at a temperature of 40°C. Filter the solution through a dry paper, cool to room temperature, and titrate 20 cc. of the filtrate with standard potassium hydroxid solution (carbonate-free), using phenol- phthalein as indicator. From the data thus secured calculate the number of cc. of N/1 acid and of water to make exactly 1 or 2 liters of acid of N/5 strength after allowing for the quantity neutralized by the amount of soil to be used in the fol- lowing procedure: Place 200 grams of the air-dried soil in a large, dry, glass-stoppered bottle and add exactly 2000 ec. of N/5 nitric acid corrected for neutralization as above de- scribed. With soils rich in available phosphoric acid, 100 grams of soil and 1000 ce. of acid will be sufficient. Digest in a large water bath at a temperature of 40°C. for exactly 5 hours, shaking thoroughly each half hour. At the end of the digestion shake the contents of the bottle well and pour quickly upon a large, dry, ribbed fil- ter of 2 thicknesses of paper and of sufficient size to receive the entire contents of the bottle. Collect the filtrate in a dry vessel, pouring back on the filter until the filtrate becomes clear. Evaporate 1000 or 500 cc. of the filtrate, according to the quantity of soil used, to dryness in a porcelain dish; add a few cc. of nitric acid to oxidize organic matter, etc., moisten the residue with hydrochloric acid, digest with water, and filter into a 500 cc. flask. Add a solution containing 15 grams of ammonium nitrate; then strong ammonium hydroxid until a permanent precipitate forms, and then concentrated nitric acid slowly until the precipitate dissolves. 28 METHOD OF ANALYSIS Dilute to about 100 cc., if less than that volume, place a thermometer in the flask, and heat to 85°C. Add 75 cc. of recently prepared molybdate solution [I, 4 (a) ], digest in a water bath at 80°C. for 15 minutes, with occasional shaking, remove from the bath and allow to stand at least 10 minutes before filtering. Continue the de- termination as directed under I, 6 and calculate to phosphorus pentoxid (P20s). 28 CALCIUM CARBONATE REQUIRED.—TENTATIVE. Place 100 grams of soil, as prepared under 2, in a 400 cc. wide-mouthed bottle, add 250 ce. of N/1 potassium nitrate, stopper, and shake continuously for 3 hours in a shaking machine, or every 5 minutes by hand. Let stand overnight. Draw off 125 ec. of the clear, supernatant liquid, boil 10 minutes to expel carbon dioxid, cool, and titrate with standard sodium hydroxid solution, 1 ce. of which is equiva- lent to 4 mg. of calcium carbonate (0.001% on basis of the weight of soil used), using phenolphthalein as indicator. 29 STATEMENT OF RESULTS.—OFFICIAL.

LEATHERS.—TENTATIVE. VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER. 1 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE. Grind the sample, without undue heating, and pass through a 10 mesh sieve. The ground sample must not contain hard lumps. Plane heavily greased leathers (con- taining more than 20 % fat) into very thin shavings. Spread out the prepared sample and allow it to return to atmospheric moisture condition; mix thoroughly, and place in tightly covered containers. 2 MOISTURE. Place 10 grams of the sample, as prepared under 1, in a tared, wide, shallow, weigh- ing bottle (or a similar dish which can be covered tightly), and dry in a water oven for 15 hours at 98°-100°C. Cover the weighing bottle, cool in a desiccator containing sulphuric acid, and weigh. The moisture present in the leather as received may be determined by cutting it quickly into small pieces and drying without grinding as directed above. 3 TOTAL ASH. Incinerate slowly 5 grams of the sample, as prepared under 1, at a dull red heat. If difficulty is experienced in burning off the carbon, leach the residue with hot water, filter on an ashless filter, dry and ignite the filter and residue, add the filtrate, evaporate to dryness and ignite. Cool in a desiccator containing sulphuric acid and weigh. The ash may be examined for acids and bases by any suitable method. Alumin- ium, magnesium, sodium, barium, calcium and lead are the bases, and hydrochloric and "sulphuric acids are the acids which it may be necessary to determine. 4 INSOLUBLE ASH. Incinerate slowly the residue from the extraction of water-soluble material, ob- tained in 6 or 7, until all the carbon is burned off, cool in a desiccator containing sulphuric acid and weigh. 5 FATS. a Place, without packing, 15 grams of the leather, as prepared under 1, in a Soxhlet or Johnson extractor with a layer of fat-free cotton above and below the sample. Extract 8-10 hours with petroleum ether distilling between 50° and 80°C. Heavily greased leathers (containing 15% or more fat) will require the maximum time. Re- move the receiving flask, evaporate the petroleum ether on the steam bath and dry the fat residue for 3 hours in a water oven at 98°-100°C., cool in a desiccator and weigh. Repeat the drying in the water oven for periods of 1-1} hours, cooling and weighing as before, until no further loss in weight occurs. Retain the leather residue from the fat extraction for the extraction of water-soluble material in 6 or 7. EXTRACTION OF WATER-SOLUBLE MATERIAL. 6 Method I. Evaporate the petroleum ether from the fat-free leather, obtained under 5, and moisten thoroughly with from 100-150 ce. of water. Place a layer of cotton in the 59 60 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. bottom of a Soxhlet extractor designed for making extractions at temperatures be- low 100°C. _ An extractor of this kind is furnished with a water jacket surrounding that por- tion of the apparatus containing the sample but does not enclose the side tube which carries the hot vapors to the condenser. Transfer the moistened fat-free leather to the extractor, and cover this with another layer of cotton to avoid siphoning off solid particles. Maintain the tempera- ture of the jacket surrounding the Soxhlet at 50°C. (1) Pour 200 cc. of water (in- cluding that used in moistening the leather) into the Soxhlet and allow it to siphon into the flask below, then heat and extract for an hour. Remove the flame and trans- fer the extract to a liter graduated flask. Then add water and continue the ex- traction as directed below, removing and transferring the extract to the liter flask before each fresh addition of water. ‘ (2) Add 175 cc. of water and extract for 2 hours. (3) Add 175 cc. of water and extract for 3 hours. (4) Add 175 ce. of water and extract for 4 hours. (5) Add 175 ce. of water and extract for 4 hours. Transfer the last portion of the extract to the graduated flask. This gives 14 hours’ extraction and an extract which does not exceed 1 liter in volume. Dilute to 1 liter at room temperature and mix thoroughly. 7 Method ITI. (This method is the same in principle as the official method of the American Leather Chemists Association.) Digest overnight 30 grams of the fat-free leather, obtained under 5, in approxi- mately 200 cc. of water. Transfer the leather and extract toa percolator. Continue the extraction by percolating with water at 50°C. Collect 2 liters of percolate, regulating the flow of water at such a rate that 2 liters will be collected in 3 hours. Dilute to volume at room temperature and mix thoroughly. To the extract, prepared according to 6 or 7, add a few drops of toluol to prevent fermentation of sugars, and reserve for the determination of glucose, total solids, soluble solids, and nontannins. GLUCOSE. 8 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. To 200 cc. of the leather extract, as prepared under 6 or 7, add 25 cc. of a saturated solution of normal lead acetate, mix thoroughly, and filter at once through a dry, plaited paper, returning the first portions of the filtrate to the filter until the fil- trate becomes clear. Keep the containers and the funnel covered during these opera- tions. Without waiting for the entire filtrate to run through add 10-12 grams of solid potassium oxalate, shake frequently during 15-20 minutes and filter through a dry, plaited paper returning the first runnings to the filter until the filtrate runs clear. Pipette 150 cc. of the last filtrate into a 600 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, add 5 ce. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and boil under a reflux condenser for 2 hours. Cool, neutralize with solid sodium carbonate, using a little phenolphthalein as indicator, transfer to a 200 cc. volumetric flask and complete to volume with water. Filter through a double filter, and return the first runnings until the filtrate becomes perfectly clear. Determine the dextrose in the filtrate immediately. VI] LEATHERS 61 9 DETERMINATION.

CARBON DIOXID."*X—OFFICIAL. 37 APPARATUS. This consists of a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask closed with a2-holed stopper; one of these holes is fitted with a dropping funnel the stem of which extends almost to the bottom of the flask; the outlet of a condenser, which is inclined upward at an angle of 30° from the horizontal, passes downward through the other hole. The upper end of the condenser is connected with a calcium chlorid tube which in turn is connected with a double U-tube filled in the middle with pumice fragments, pre- viously saturated with copper sulphate solution and subsequently dehydrated, and with calcium chlorid at either end. Then follow 2 weighed U-tubes for absorb- ing the carbon dioxid, the first filled with porous soda-lime, and the second, one third with soda-lime and two thirds with calcium chlorid, the latter reagent being placed at the exit end of the train. A Geissler bulb, partly filled with sulphuric acid, is attached to the last U-tube to show the rate of gas flow. An aspirator is connected with the Geissler bulb to draw air through the apparatus. An absorp- tion tower filled with soda-lime is connected with the mouth of the dropping funnel to remove carbon dioxid from the air entering the apparatus. 38 DETERMINATION. Weigh 2 grams of the powder or 10 grams of the paste into the Erlenmeyer flask, add about 20 cc. of water, attach the flask to the apparatus omitting the 2 weighed U-tubes, and draw carbon dioxid-free air through the apparatus until the original air is displaced. Then attach the weighed U-tubes in the position as described in 37, close the stop-cock of the dropping funnel, fill half full with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 1), reconnect with the soda-lime tower, and allow the acid to flow into the Erlenmeyer flask, slowly if there is much carbon dioxid, rapidly if there is little. When effervescence diminishes, place a low Bunsen flame under the flask and start a flow of water through the condenser, a slow current of air being allowed to flow through the apparatus at the same time. Maintain a steady but quiet ebulli- tion, and a slow air current through the apparatus. Boil for a few minutes after the water has begun to condense in the condenser, then remove the flame and con- tinue the aspiration of air at the rate of about 2 bubbles per second until the apparatus is cool. Disconnect the tared absorption tubes, cool in the balance case and weigh. The increase in weight is due to carbon dioxid. COPPER. 39 Electrolytic Method. —Official.

Add ammonium chlorid to dissolve any lead sulphate which may have precipitated out and make the solution up to 1 liter. Concentrate a 500 cc. aliquot of this solution to about 300 cc. (all hydrogen peroxid must be expelled from the solution), transfer to a 400 cc. beaker and precipitate the lead as lead chromate as directed under 24. 53 TOTAL ARSENIC.!1—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under 5, using an amount of the dry, powdered sample equal to the arsenic oxid equivalent of 500 cc. of the standard iodin solution. The num- ber of cc. of the standard iodin solution used, divided by 2, represents directly the per cent of total arsenic in the sample expressed as arsenic oxid (As20s). 54 WATER-SOLUBLE ARSENIC OXID.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 31. SODIUM AND POTASSIUM CYANIDS. 55 CYANOGEN.1s—OFFICIAL. Weigh about 10 grams of the sample in a weighing bottle, dissolve in water, and make up to volume in a liter graduated flask. To a 50 cc. aliquot add N/20 silver nitrate, drop by drop, stirring constantly, until 1 drop produces a permanent tur- bidity. In calculating the results, 1 equivalent of silver is equal to 2 equivalents of cyanogen, according to the following equation: 2NaCN + AgNO; = NaCNAgCN + NaNO; Reserve the titrated solution for the determination of chlorin under 56. VO] INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 73 56 CHLORIN.1‘—OFFICIAL. After completion of the titration for cyanogen, as directed under 55, add a few ec. of 10% potassium chromate solution as indicator and titrate with N/20 silver nitrate until the appearance of the red-brown color of silver chromate. The first titration with silver nitrate represents the cyanogen present according to the equation above. The second titration represents the cyanogen and chlorin according to the following equation: NaCNAgCN + NaCl + 2AgNO; = 2NaNO; + 2AgCN + AgCl. Therefore the second minus the first reading represents the chlorin present in terms of silver nitrate. SOAP. MOISTURE. 57 Modified Method of Benedickt and Lewkowitsch.1’—Tentative. Weigh about 5 grams of the sample in a tared, 100 cc. beaker, in which is pre- viously placed a } inch layer of recently ignited, dry sand, and a small glass rod; if the soap is hard, cut off the soap in very thin strips. Add 25 cc. of alcohol, or more if necessary, and dissolve on the water bath, stirring constantly. Evapo- rate the alcohol, heat in an oven at 110°C. until the soap is nearly dry, and weigh, then dry again for 30 minutes and weigh. Continue this alternate drying and weighing until the weight changes only a few milligrams during the course of 30 minutes’ drying. 58 POTASSIUM AND SODIUM.'%\—TENTATIVE. Dissolve about 5 grams of the soap in water; decompose with hydrochloric acid, filter off the water and wash the fat with cold water. Determine both potassium and sodium in the filtrate as directed under I, 21. SODA LYE. 59 CARBONATE AND HYDROXID.1’—OFFICIAL. Weigh about 10 grams of the sample from the weighing bottle, dissolve in car- bon dioxid-free water and make up to a definite volume. Titrate an aliquot of this solution with N/2 hydrochloric acid, using methyl orange as an indicator, and note the total alkalinity thus found. Transfer an equal aliquot to a graduated flask and add enough barium chlorid solution to precipitate all the carbonate, avoiding any unnecessary excess. Dilute to the mark with carbon dioxid-free water, stopper, shake, and set aside. When the liquid becomes clear, pipette off one half and ti- trate with N/2 hydrochloric acid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. The number of cc. of N/2 acid, required for this titration, multiplied by 2 gives the num- ber of cc. of N/2 acid required to neutralize the sodium hydroxid present in the original aliquot. The difference between this figure and the number of cc. of N/2 hydrochloric acid required for the total akalinity represents the number of cc. of N/2 acid required to neutralize the sodium carbonate present in the aliquot. Cal- culate the percentages of sodium carbonate and hydroxid present in the sample. TOBACCO AND TOBACCO EXTRACT. NICOTIN. Kissling Method.—Offcial. 60 REAGENTS. (a) Alcoholic sodium hydroxid solution—Dissolve 6 grams of sodium hydroxid in 40 cc. of water and 60 cc. of 90% alcohol. 74 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (b) 0.4% sodium hydroxid solution. (C) N/10 sulphuric acid —One ce. is equivalent to 16.22 mg. of nicotin. (d) Phenacetolin solution—Prepare a 0.5% alcoholic solution. (@) Cochineal solution—Prepare as directed under I, 16 (k). 61 DETERMINATION. Weigh 5-6 grams of tobacco extract, or 20 grams of finely powdered tobacco which has been previously dried at 60°C. if necessary, into a small beaker. Add 10 cc. of the alcoholic sodium hydroxid and follow, in the case of tobacco extract, with enough pure powdered calcium carbonate to form a moist but not lumpy mass. Mix thoroughly, transfer to a Soxhlet extractor and exhaust for about 5 hours with ether. Evaporate the ether at a low temperature, and take up the residue with 50 cc. of the 0.4% sodium hydroxid solution. Transfer this residue by means of water to a 500 cc. Kjeldahl flask, and distil with steam, passing the distillate through a condenser cooled by a rapidly flowing current of water. Use a3-bend outflow tube, and, to prevent bumping and frothing, add a few pieces of pumice, and a small piece of paraffin. Distil till all the nicotin has passed over, the distillate usually varying from 400-500 ec. When completed, only about 15 cc. of the liquid should remain in the flask. Titrate the distillate with N/10 sulphuric acid, using the phenacetolin or cochineal solution as indicator. Silicotungstic Acid Method.%—Official. 62 REAGENTS. (a) Silicotungstic acid solution —Prepare a 12% solution of the silicotungstic acid having the following formula: 4H20.Si02.12W0O;.22H.20. (b) Sodium or potassium hydroaxid solution (1 to 2). (C) Dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 4). 63 DETERMINATION. Weigh such an amount of the preparation as will contain preferably between 0.1 and 1.0 gram of nicotin (if the sample contains very little nicotin, about 0.1%, do not increase the amount to the point where it interferes with the distillation) ; wash with water into a500cc. round-bottomed distillation flask; add alittle paraffin to pre- vent frothing, a few small pieces of pumice and a slight excess of the sodium or potassium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Distil rapidly in a current of steam through a well-cooled condenser, connected by means of an adapter with a suitable flask containing 10 cc. of the dilute hydrochloric acid. When distil- lation is well under way, heat the distillation flask to reduce the volume of the liquid as far as practicable without bumping or undue separation of insoluble matter. Dis- til until a few cc. of the distillate show no cloud or opalescence when treated with a drop of the silicotungstic acid and a drop of the dilute hydrochloric acid. Confirm the alkalinity of the residue in the distillation flask with phenolphthalein solution. Make up the distillate, which may amount to 1000-1500 cc., toa convenient volume (the solution may be concentrated on the steam bath without loss of nicotin), mix well and pass through a large dry filter if not clear. Test a portion with methy] orange to assure its acidity. Pipette an aliquot, containing about 0.1 gram of nicotin, into a beaker (if the samples contain very small amounts of nicotin, an aliquot contain- ing as little as 0.01 gram of nicotin may be used), add_to each 100 cc. of liquid 3 ce. of the dilute hydrochloric acid, or more if the necessity is indicated by the test with methyl orange, and add 1 cc. of the silicotungstic acid for each 0.01 gram of nico- VII] INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES ao tin supposed to be present. Stir thoroughly and let stand overnight. Before filter- ing, stir the precipitate to see that it settles quickly and is in crystalline form; then filter on an ashless filter paper, and wash with cold dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 1000). Transfer the paper and precipitate to a weighed platinum crucible, dry carefully, and ignite until all carbon is destroyed. Finally heat over a Teclu or Meker burner for not more than 10 minutes. The weight of the residue multiplied by 0.114 gives the weight of nicotin present in the aliquot. FORMALDEHYDE SOLUTIONS. FORMAL DEHY DE. Hydrogen Peroxid Method.°—Official. 64 REAGENTS. (a) N/1 sulphuric acid. (b) N/1 sodium hydroxid.—One ce. is equivalent to 30.02 mg. of formaldehyde. (Cc) Hydrogen peroxid.—An approximately 3% solution. If the hydrogen per- oxid solution is acid, neutralize with (b), using litmus solution as indicator. (d) Litmus solution.—A solution of purified litmus. 65 DETERMINATION. Measure 50 cc. of N/1 sodium hydroxid into a 500 cc. Erlenmeyer flask and add 50 ec. of the hydrogen peroxid. Then add 3 grams of the formaldehyde solution un- der examination, allowing the point of the pipette to reach nearly to the liquid in the flask. Place a funnel in the neck of the flask and heat on the steam bath for 5 min- utes, shaking occasionally. Remove from the steam bath, wash the funnel with water, cool the flask to about room temperature, and titrate with N/1 acid, using the litmus solution as indicator. It is necessary to cool the flask before titration with the acid to get a sharp end point with the litmus. Calculate the per cent of formaldehyde. Cyanid Method.?°—Offcial. 66 REAGENTS. (a) N/10 silver nitrate. (b) N/10 ammonium sulphocyanate. (C) Potassium cyanid solution.—Dissolve 3.1 grams of potassium cyanid in 500 ec. of water. (d) 50% nitric acid. 67 DETERMINATION. Treat 15 cc. of the N/10 silver nitrate with 6 drops of the 50% nitric acid in a 50 ce. volumetric flask; add 10 cc. of the potassium cyanid solution, dilute to the mark, shake well, filter through a dry filter and titrate 25 cc. of the filtrate with N/10 ammonium sulphocyanate as directed under III, 15. Acidify another 15 ce. portion of the N/10 silver nitrate with 6 drops of the 50% nitric acid and treat with 10 cc. of the potassium cyanid solution to which has been added a measured quan- tity (the weight of which must be calculated from the specific gravity) of the for- maldehyde solution containing not over 2.5 grams of a 1% solution or the equiva- lent. Make up to 50 cc., filter and titrate a 25 cc. aliquot with the N/10 ammonium sulphocyanate for the excess of silver as before. The difference between the num- ber of cc. of N/10 ammonium sulphocyanate used in these 2 titrations, multiplied 76 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. by 2, gives the number of cc. of N/10 ammonium sulphocyanate corresponding to the potassium cyanid used by the formaldehyde. Calculate the per cent of for- maldehyde present (1 cc. of N/10 ammonium sulphocyanate is equivalent to 3 mg. of formaldehyde (HCHO)). LIME-SULPHUR SOLUTIONS.” TOTAL SULPHUR.—OFFICIAL. 68 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Weigh 10 grams of the solution and dilute to the mark in a 250 cc. graduated flask with recently boiled and cooled water. 69 DETERMINATION. Transfer a 10 cc. aliquot to a 400 cc. beaker, add about 3 grams of sodium peroxid, cover immediately with a watch glass and warm on the steam bath, with frequent shaking, until all the sulphur is oxidized to sulphate, adding more sodium peroxid if necessary. Dilute. acidify with hydrochloric acid, evaporate to dryness, treat with water acidified with hydrochloric acid, boil, and filter to remove silica, if pres- ent. Dilute the filtrate to 300 cc., add 50 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid,” heat to boiling, and precipitate with 10% barium chlorid solution slowly and stir- ring constantly. (The rate is best regulated by attaching a suitable capillary tip to the burette containing the barium chlorid solution.) Evaporate to dryness on the steam bath, take up with hot water, filter through a quantitative filter paper, wash until free from chlorin, ignite and heat to constant weight over a Bunsen burner. Calculate the sulphur from the weight of barium sulphate. Previous to use test the reagents for sulphur and, if present, make corrections accordingly. SULPHID SULPHUR.—OFFICIAL. 70 REAGENT. Ammoniacal zinc solution.—Dissolve 50 grams of pure zine chlorid in water, add ammonium hydroxid in sufficient quantity to redissolve the precipitate first formed, then add 50 grams of ammonium chlorid** and dilute to 1 liter. 71 DETERMINATION. Dilute 10 cc. of the solution, prepared as directed under 68, to about 100 cc. and add the ammoniacal zinc solution until the sulphid is all precipitated, indicated by the addition of a drop of the clear solution to a few drops of nickel sulphate solution. Filter immediately, wash the precipitate thoroughly with cold water and transfer it and the filter paper to a beaker. Cover with water, disintegrate with a glass rod and add about 3 grams of sodium peroxid, keeping the beaker well covered with a watch glass. Warm on the steam bath with frequent shaking until all the sulphur is oxidized to sulphate, adding more sodium peroxid if necessary. Make slightly acid with hydrochloric acid, filter to remove shreds of filter paper, wash thoroughly with hot water, and determine the sulphur in the filtrate exactly as under 69. 72 THIOSULPHATE SULPHUR.—OFFICIAL. Dilute 50 ce. of the solution, prepared as under 68, to about 100 ce. in a 200 ce. graduated flask. Add a slight excess of the ammoniacal zine chlorid and dilute to the mark. Shake thoroughly and filter through a dry filter. To 100 ce. of the fil- trate add a few drops of methyl] orange and exactly neutralize with N/10 hydrochloric Vl] INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES Ue acid. Titrate this neutral solution with approximately N/20 iodin, 3 (C), using a few drops of starch solution as indicator. From the number of cc. of iodin solu- tion used, calculate the thiosulphate sulphur present. 73 SULPHATE SULPHUR.—OFFICIAL. To the solution from the determination in 72, add 2 or 3 drops of hydrochloric acid, precipitate in the cold with 10% barium chlorid solution, allow to stand over- night, filter, calculate the sulphur from the weight of barium sulphate and report as sulphate sulphur. 74 TOTAL LIME.—OFFICIAL. To 25 cc. of the solution, prepared as under 68, add 10 cc. of concentrated hydro- chloric acid, evaporate to dryness on the steam bath, treat with water and a little hydrochloric acid, warm until all the calcium chlorid is dissolved, and filter from sul- phur and any silica that may be present. Oxidize the filtrate by boiling with a little concentrated nitric acid, make ammoniacal, filter from iron and aluminium if present, heat to boiling and precipitate the calcium with ammonium oxalate so- lution. Filter, wash and ignite over a blast lamp to constant weight; weigh the residue as calcium oxid. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1 J. Ind. Eng. Chem., 1916, 8: 327. 2 Ibid., 1909, 1: 208. 3 J. Assoc. Official Agr.

FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS. 1 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. Grind the sample so that it will pass through a sieve having circular openings zs inch (1 mm.) in diameter. If the sample can not be ground, reduce it to as fine a state as possible. MOISTURE. z Direct Drying.—Offcial. Dry a quantity of the substance, representing about 2 grams of dry material, in a current of dry hydrogen or in vacuo at the temperature of boiling water to constant weight (approximately 5 hours). If the substance be held in a glass vessel, the latter should not be in contact with the boiling water. 3 Drying in Vacuo without Heat.—Tentative. Mix the sample thoroughly and weigh by difference 2-5 gram portions from a stoppered weighing bottle into tared, covered crucibles. Where subsequent fat determinations are to be made, fat extraction cones may be used. Substances that dry down to horn-like material should be mixed with fat-free cotton or other suit- able material (previously tared with the container). Place 200 cc. of fresh concen- trated sulphuric acid in a strong, tight 6 inch vacuum desiccator. Put triplicate samples in separate desiccators, and exhaust by means of a vacuum pump. If a pump is not available, place 10 cc. of ether in a small beaker in the desiccator, and exhaust with a water filter pump. Between the pump and the desiccator interpose an empty bottle, next to the desiccator, and a bottle of water. Draw the air from the desiccator through the water and turn the desiccator stop-cock at just the instant when the water begins to rise in the tube leading from the empty bottle. Gently rotate the desiccator 4 or 5 times during the first 12 hours to mix the sul- phuric acid with the water which has collected as an upper layer. At the end of 24 hours open the desiccator, forcing the incoming air to bubble through concentrated sulphuric acid, and make the first weighing. After weighing place in a desiccator containing fresh concentrated sulphuric acid and exhaust as before. Rotate the desiccator several times during the interval and weigh again after a suitable period of drying. Repeat this process of drying in vacuo over sulphuric acid until the weight is constant. 4 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Char a quantity of the substance, representing about 2 grams of the dry material, and burn until free from carbon at a low heat, not to exceed dull redness. If a carbon-free ash can not be obtained in this manner, exhaust the charred mass with hot water, collect the insoluble residue on a filter, burn till the ash is white or nearly so, and then add the filtrate to the ash and evaporate to dryness. Heat to low redness till the ash is white or grayish white and weigh. 79 80 METHODS OF ANALYSIS \ Chan 5 CRUDE PROTEIN.—OFFICIAL. Determine nitrogen as directed under I, 18, 21, or 23, and multiply the result by 6.25. ALBUMINOID NITROGEN.—OFFICIAL. 6 REAGENT. Stutzer’s reagent.—Prepare cupric hydroxid as follows: Dissolve 100 grams of pure copper sulphate in 5 liters of water, add 2.5 ce. of glycerol, and then dilute sodium hydroxid solution until the liquid is just alkaline; filter, rub the precipitate up with water containing 5 cc. of glycerol per liter, and wash by decantation or filtration until the washings are no longer alkaline. Rub the precipitate up again in a mortar with water containing 10% of glycerol, thus preparing a uniform gelatinous mass that can be measured with a pipette. Determine the quantity of copper hydroxid per cc. of this mixture. 7 DETERMINATION. Place 0.7 gram of the substance in a beaker, add 100 cc. of water, and heat to boiling; or, in case of substances rich in starch, heat on the water bath for 10 minutes; add a quantity of the Stutzer’s reagent containing about 0.5 gram of the hydroxid; stir thoroughly, filter when cold, wash with cold water, and, without removing the precipitate from the filter, determine the nitrogen according to I, 18, 21 or 23, adding sufficient potassium sulphid solution to completely precipitate all of the copper and mercury. ‘The filter paper used must be practically free from nitrogen. If the material (such as seeds, seed residue, or oil cake) is rich in alkaline phos- phates, add, to decompose the alkaline phosphates, 1-2 ec. of a concentrated potash or soda alum solution, free from ammonia, then the copper hydroxid, and mix well by stirring. If this is not done, copper phosphate and free alkali may be formed, and the protein-copper precipitate partially dissolved in the alkaline liquid. 8 AMIDO NITROGEN.—OFFICIAL. Subtract the amount of albuminoid nitrogen from the amount of total nitrogen to obtain the amido nitrogen. CRUDE FAT OR ETHER EXTRACT. Direct Method.—O ficial. 9g REAGENT, Anhydrous ether.—Wash any of the commercial brands of ether with 2 or3 sue- cessive portions of water, add solid sodium or potassium hydroxid, and let stand until most of the water has been abstracted from the ether. Decant into a dry bottle, add small pieces of carefully cleaned metallic sodium, and let stand until there is no further evolution of hydrogen gas. Keep the ether, thus dehydrated, over metallic sodium in lightly stoppered bottles. 10 DETERMINATION. Large quantities of soluble carbohydrates may interfere with the complete ex- traction of the fat. In such cases extract with water before proceeding with the determination. Extract about 2 grams of material, dried as under 2 or 3, with the anhydrous ether for 16 hours. Dry the extract at the temperature of boiling water for 30 minutes, cool in a desiccator, and weigh; continue, at 30 minutes intervals, this alternate drying and weighing to constant weight. For most feeds a period of 1-1} hours is required. , Vil) FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS 81 11 Indirect Method.—O ficial. Determine the moisture, as directed in 2 or 3, then extract the dried substance for 16 hours as directed under 10, dry again and regard the loss of weight as ether extract. SUCROSE. OPTICAL METHODS. 12 GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR RAW SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. (Rules! of the International Commission for Unifying Methods of Sugar Analysis.) “Tn general all polarizations are to be made at 20°C.” “The verification of the saccharimeter must also be made at 20°C. For instru- ments using the Ventzke scale 26 grams of pure dry sucrose, weighed in air with brass weights, dissolved in 100 metric ec. at 20°C. and polarized in a room, the tem- perature of which is also 20°C., must give a saccharimeter reading of exactly 100.00. The temperature of the sugar solution during polarization must be kept constant at 20°C.” ‘‘For countries where the mean temperature is higher than 20°C., saccharimeters may be adjusted at 30°C. or any other suitable temperature, under the conditions specified above, provided that the sugar solution be made up to volume and polarized at this same temperature.” “In effecting the polarization of substances containing sugar employ only half- shade instruments.’’ The saccharimeter used can be either single or double wedge and should be a half-shadow instrument with either double or triple field. “During the observation keep the apparatus in a fixed position and so far removed from the source of light that the polarizing Nicol is not warmed.” “As sources of light employ lamps which give a strong illumination such as triple gas burner with metallic cylinder, lens and reflector; gas lamps with Auer (Welsbach) burner; electric lamp; petroleum duplex lamp; sodium light.’? When- ever there is any irregularity in the sources of light such as that due to the convolu- tions of the filament in the case of electric light or to the meshes of the gauze in the case of the Welsbach light, place a thin ground-glass plate between the source of light and the polariscope so as to render the illumination uniform. ‘Before and after each set of observations the chemist must satisfy himself of the correct adjustment of his saccharimeter by means of standardized quartz plates. He must also previously satisfy himself of the accuracy of his weights, polarization flasks, observation tubes and cover-glasses. (Scratched cover-glasses must not be used.) Make several readings and take the mean thereof, but no one reading may be neglected.’’ Such plates are standardized to read to the second decimal point and by their use a quick and at the same time accurate test can be made. In using such plates for testing saccharimeters, it is necessary that the instrument, as well as the plate, be at 20°C. before making a reading. Different points of the scale, preferably 20°, 50°, 80°, and 100°, (sugar scale) should be tested against the plates. “Tn making a polarization use the whole normal weight for 100 cc. or a multiple thereof for any corresponding volume.”’ “As clarifying and decolorizing agents use either basic acetate of lead, alumina cream, or concentrated solution of alum. Boneblack and decolorizing powders are to be excluded.’’ Whenever reducing sugars are determined in the solution for po- larizing, use only neutral lead acetate for clarification as basic lead acetate causes precipitation of some of the reducing sugars. In addition to these clarifying agents, 82 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. neutral lead acetate and basic lead nitrate (Herles’ solution) have been made official by the Association. “After bringing the solution exactly to the mark at the proper temperature, and after wiping out the neck of the flask with filter paper, pour all of the well-shaken clarified sugar solution on a rapidly acting filter. Reject the first portions of the filtrate, and use the rest, which must be perfectly clear, for polarization.’”’ It is advisable to reject the first 20 cc. that run through, then cover the funnel with a watch glass and use the remainder for polarization. In no case should the whole solution or any part be returned to the filter. If cloudy after the 20 cc. have been rejected, begin a new determination. “Whenever white light is used in polarimetric determinations, the same must be filtered through a solution of potassium dichromate of such a concentration that the percentage content of the solution multiplied by the length of the column of the solu- tion in centimeters is equal to nine.’? This concentration must be doubled in reading carbohydrate materials of high rotation dispersion, such as commercial glucose, etc. 13 PREPARATION AND USE OF CLARIFYING REAGENTS.—TENTATIVE. (a) Basic lead acetate solution.—Boil 430 grams of neutral lead acetate, 130 grams of litharge, and 1 liter of water for 30 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and settle and dilute the supernatant liquid to a specific gravity of 1.25 with recently boiled water. Solid basic lead acetate may be substituted for the normal salt and litharge in the preparation of the solution. (b) Alumina cream.—Prepare a cold saturated solution of alum in water. Add ammonium hydroxid with constant stirring until the solution is alkaline to litmus, allow the precipitate to settle and wash by decantation with water until the wash water gives only a slight test for sulphates with barium chlorid solution. Pour off the excess of water and store the residual cream in a stoppered bottle. (Cc) Dry basic lead acetate (Horne method).—This clarifying agent is obtained as a dry powdered salt and should contain 72.8% of lead, which corresponds to a com- position of 8Pb(C,H,0,).2PbO. Dissolve the normal or half-normal weight of the sugar solution in a flask with water and complete the volume. Add a small quantity of the dry salt and shake, then add more and shake again, repeating until completely precipitated but avoiding any excess. Of this salt 0.1346 gram is equivalent to 1 ce. of the basic lead acetate solution, described under (a). When molasses or any other substance producing a heavy precipitate is being clarified, some dry, coarse sand should be added to break up the balls of basic lead acetate and the precipitate. (This method is to have equal weight with the use of a solution of basic lead acetate in clarifying cane, sorghum, and beet products.) (d) Neutral lead acetate.—Prepare a saturated solution of neutral lead acetate and add it to the sugar solution before completing to volume. Its use is imperative when determining the reducing sugars in the solution used for polarization. (e) Basic lead nitrate (Herles’ solution).—(1) Dissolve 250 grams of lead nitrate in water and make up to 500 ce. (2) Dissolve 25 grams of sodium hydroxid in water and make up to 500 ce. Add equal amounts of (1) and (2) to the sugar solution, shake, and add more if complete precipitation has not occurred, but avoid any excess. Then complete the volume with water. When this solution is used for clarification, the factor in the Clerget determination becomes 143.5 instead of 142.66. VIII] FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS 83 DETERMINATION OF SUCROSE IN THE ABSENCE OF RAFFINOSE. _ (In the presence of much levulose, as in honeys and fruits products, the optical method for sucrose gives too high a result.) 14 By Polarization Before and After Inversion with Hydrochloric Acid.—Offcial. Dissolve the normal weight (26 grams) of the substance in water, add basic lead acetate carefully, avoiding any excess, then 1-2 cc. of alumina cream, shake, and dilute to 100 metric cc., filter, rejecting the first 20 cc. of the filtrate, cover the filter with a watch glass and, when sufficient filtrate is collected, polarize in a 200 mm. tube. The reading so obtained is the direct reading (P of formula given be- low) or polarization before inversion. Tor the invert reading, remove the lead from the solution either (1) by adding anhydrous potassium oxalate, a little at a time, to the remaining solution, avoiding an excess and removing the precipitated lead by filtration; or, (2) by adding anhydrous sodium carbonate under the same con- ditions. Introduce 50 cc. of the lead-free filtrate into a 100 cc. flask (if sodium carbonate was used for removing the lead, neutralize carefully the excess of sodium carbonate with a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid) and add 25 ce. of water. Then add, little by little, while rotating the flask, 5 cc. of hydrochloric acid, (sp.gr. 1.20). Heat the flask after mixing, in a water bath kept at 70°C. The temperature of the solution in the flask should reach 67°-69°C, in 2}-3 minutes. Maintain a temperature of as nearly 69°C. as possible for 7-74 minutes, making the total time of heating 10 minutes. Remove the flask and cool the contents rapidly to 20°C. and dilute to 100 cc. Polarize this solution in a tube provided with a lateral branch and a water jacket, maintaining a temperature of 20°C. This reading must be multiplied by 2 to obtain the invert reading. If it is necessary to work at a tem- perature other than 20°C., which is allowable within narrow limits, the volumes must be completed and both direct and invert polarizations must be made at exactly the same temperature. The inversion may also be accomplished as follows: (1) To 50 cc. of the clarified solution, freed from lead, add 5 cc. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.20) and set aside for 24 hours at a temperature not below 20°C.; or ,(2) If the temperature be above 25°C. set aside for 10 hours. Make up to 100 cc. at 20°C. and polarize as directed above. Calculate sucrose by one of the following formulas: For substances in which the invert solution contains more than 12 grams of invert sugar per 100 cc.—The following formula is to be used when substances like raw sugars are polarized: _ 100 (P — I) 142.66 — — 2 S in which S = per cent of sucrose; P = direct reading normal solution; I = invert reading normal solution; T = temperature at which readings are made. For substances in which the concentration of the invert solution is less than 12 grams per 100 cc.—The following formula, which takes into account the concentration of the sugar in solution, should be used in all other cases. 84 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. wes hae tieh 142.66 — : — 0.0065 [ 142.66 == eB —(P- D | S = per cent of sucrose; P = direct reading normal solution; I = invert reading normal solution; T = temperature.

Invertase solution (Hudson Method.?)—Mix 1 kilo of pressed baker’s or brewer’s yeast with 1 liter of tap water and 50 cc. of toluene and keep at room temperature 2-3 days to allow autolysis to proceed to the stage of maximum inverting activity. Then add neutral lead acetate in slight excess, filter, precipitate the lead in the filtrate with hydrogen sulphid, filter again and then dialyze the filtrate thoroughly in a collodion sac. Preserve in an ice box the dialyzed solution with the addition of a little toluene to prevent the growth of micro-organisms. Note the optical activity of the invertase solution and correct the invert reading according to the amount of the solution used. 1 6 DETERMINATION. Dissolve the normal weight (26 grams) of the substance in water, clarify, make up to volume, and take the direct polarization (P) as directed under 14. If lead has been used as a clarifying agent, remove the excess of lead from the filtrate, with anhydrous sodium carbonate or potassium oxalate, and filter. To 50 cc. of the filtrate in a 100 cc. flask add acetic acid, drop by drop, until the reaction is acid to litmus, add 10 cc. of the invertase solution, fill the flask with water nearly to 100 ce. and let stand in a warm place (about 40°C.) overnight. Cool and make up to 100 ce. at 20°C. Polarize at 20°C. in a 200 mm. tube. Allow the solution to remain in the tube for an hour and repeat the polarization. If there is no change from the pre- vious reading, the inversion is complete, whereupon the reading and temperature of the solution are carefully noted. Correct the reading for the optical activity of the invertase solution and then multiply by 2.

(Of value chiefly in the analysis of beet products.) If the direct reading is more than 1° higher than the per cent of sucrose as “al- culated by the formula given under 14, raffinose is probably present.

Determine the reducing sugars (clarification having been effected with neutral lead acetate, never with basic lead acetate), as directed under 25, and calculate to invert sugar from 27. Invert the solution as directed under 14 or 16, exactly neutralize the acid, and again determine the reducing sugars, but calculate them to invert sugar from the same table as referred to above, using the invert sugar column alone. Deduct the percentage of invert sugar obtained before inversion from that obtained after inversion, and multiply the difference by 0.95, the result being the per cent of sucrose. The solutions should be diluted in both determina- tions so that not more than 245 mg. of invert sugar are present in the amount taken for reduction. It is important that all lead be removed from the solution with potassium oxalate before reduction. REDUCING SUGARS. INVERT SUGAR. Approximate Volumetric Method for Rapid Work.—Tentative. 19 REAGENT.

(a) Copper sulphate solution.—Dissolve 34.639 grams of copper sulphate (CuSO, 5H.O) in water, dilute to 500 cc. and filter through prepared asbestos. (b) Alkaline tartrate solution.—Dissolve 173 grams of Rochelle salts and 50 grams of sodium hydroxid in water, dilute to 500 cc., allow to stand for 2 days and filter through prepared asbestos. 20 STANDARDIZATION OF COPPER SOLUTION. Since the factor of calculation varies with the minute details of manipulation, every operator must determine a factor for himself, using a known solution of the pure sugar that he desires to determine, and keeping the conditions the same as those used for the determination. 86 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Standardize the solution for invert sugar in the following manner: Dissolve 4.75 grams of pure sucrose in 75 cc. of water, add 5 cc. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.20) and invert as directed under 14. Neutralize the acid with sodium hydroxid solution and dilute to 1 liter. Ten cc. of this solution contain 0.050 gram of invert sugar, which should reduce 10 cc. of the reagent. The strength of the copper solution should never be taken as a constant, but should be checked against the sugar. 21 DETERMINATION. Place 10 cc. of the reagent in a large test tube and add 10 cc. of water. Heat to boiling, and add gradually small portions of the solution of the material to be tested until the copper has been completely reduced, boiling after each addition to com- plete the reaction. Two minutes’ boiling is required for complete reduction when the full amount of sugar solution has been added in one portion. When the end is nearly reached and the amount of sugar solution to be added can no longer be judged by the color of the solution, remove a small portion of the liquid and filter rapidly into a small porcelain crucible or on a test plate; acidify with dilute acetic acid, and test for copper with dilute potassium ferrocyanid solution. The sugar solution should be of such strength as will give a burette reading of 15-20 cc., and the number of successive additions should be as small as possible. Soxhlet Volumetric Method.—Tentative. 22 REAGENT. The reagent used is described under 19. 23 DETERMINATION. Make a preliminary titration to determine the approximate percentage of reduc- ing sugar in the material under examination. Prepare a solution which contains approximately 1% of reducing sugar. Place in a beaker 100 cc. of the reagent and approximately the amount of the sugar solution for its complete reduction. Boil for 2 minutes. Filter through a folded filter and test a portion of the filtrate for copper by use of dilute acetic acid and dilute potassium ferrocyanid solution. Re- peat, varying the volume of sugar solution, until 2 successive amounts are found which differ by 0.1 ce., one giving complete reduction and the other leaving a small amount of copper in solution. The mean of these 2 readings is taken as the volume of the solution required for the complete precipitation of 100 cc. of the reagent. Under these conditions 100 cc. of the reagent require 0.494 gram of invert sugar for complete reduction. Calculate the percentage by the following formula: V = the volume of the sugar solution required for the complete reduction of 100 ce. of the reagent; W = the weight of the sample in 1 cc. of the sugar solution; 100 X 0.494 Soa aaNet per cent of invert sugar. GRAVIMETRIC METHODS. Munson and Walker General Method.°—Tentative. 24 REAGENTS. (a) Asbestos.—Digest the asbestos, which should be the amphibole variety, with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 3) for 2-8 days. Wash free from acid, digest for a VITT] 5 FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS 87 similar period with 10% sodium hydroxid solution, and then treat for a few hours with hot alkaline tartrate solution (old alkaline tartrate solutions that have stood for some time may be used for this purpose) of the strength employed in sugar de- terminations. Then wash the asbestos free from alkali, digest for several hours with dilute nitric acid (1 to 3) and, after washing free from acid, shake with water into a fine pulp. In preparing the Gooch crucible, make a film of asbestos { inch thick and wash thoroughly with water to remove fine particles of asbestos. If the precipitated cuprous oxid is to be weighed as such, wash the crucible with 10 cc. of alcohol, then with 10 ce. of ether, dry for 30 minutes at 100°C., cool in a desiccator and weigh. (b) The solution used is described under 19. 25 PRECIPITATION OF CUPROUS OXID. Transfer 25 cc. each of the copper sulphate and alkaline tartrate solutions to a 400 cc. beaker of alkali-resisting glass and add 50 cc. of reducing sugar solution, or, if a smaller volume of sugar solution is used, add water to make the final volume 100 cc. Heat the beaker upon an asbestos gauze over a Bunsen burner, regulate the flame so that boiling begins in 4 minutes, and continue the boiling for exactly 2 minutes. (It is important that these directions be strictly observed and, in order to regulate the burner for this purpose, it is advisable to make preliminary tests, using 50 cc. of the reagent and 50 cc. of water before proceeding with the actual determination.) Keep the beaker covered with a watch glass during the heating. Filter the cuprous oxid at once on an asbestos mat in a porcelain Gooch crucible, using suction. Wash the cuprous oxid thoroughly with water at a temperature of about 60°C., and either weigh directly as cuprous oxid as in 26, or, determine the amount of reduced copper by one of the methods under 29-34, respectively. Con- duct a blank determination, using 50 cc. of the reagent and 50 cc. of water, and, if the weight of cuprous oxid obtained exceeds 0.5 mg., correct the result of the reducing sugar determination accordingly. The alkaline tartrate solution deteriorates on standing and the amount of cuprous oxid obtained in the blank increases. DETERMINATION OF REDUCED COPPER. 26 I. Direct Weighing of Cuprous Oxid.—Tentative. Prepare a Gooch as directed under 24 (a). Collect the precipitated cuprous oxid on the mat, as directed under 25, wash thoroughly with hot water, then with 10 cc. of alcohol, and finally with 10 cc. of ether. Dry the precipitate for 30 minutes in a water oven at the temperature of boiling water; cool and weigh. Calculate the weight of metallic copper. Obtain from 27 the weight of invert sugar equivalent to the weight of copper found. This method should be used only for determinations in pure sugar solutions. In all other products the copper of the cuprous oxid should be determined by one of the following methods, since the cuprous oxid is very apt to be contaminated with foreign matter. The number of milligrams of copper reduced by a given amount of reducing sugar differs when sucrose is present and when it is absent. In the tables the absence of sucrose is assumed except in the two columns under invert sugar, where one for mixtures of invert sugar and sucrose containing 0.4 gram of total sugar in 50 cc. of solution, and one for invert sugar and sucrose when the 50 cc. of solution contains 2 grams of total sugar are given, in addition to the column for invert sugar alone.

A. H. Low Volumetric Method, Modified.:—Tentative. 28 REAGENT. Standard thiosulphate solution.—Prepare a solution of sodium thiosulphate containing 19 grams of pure crystals in 1 liter. Weigh accurately about 0.2 gram of pure copper foil and place in a flask of 250 cc. capacity. Dissolve by warming with 5 cc. of a mixture of equal volumes of strong nitric acid and water. Dilute to 50 cc., boil to expel the red fumes, add 5 cc. of strong bromin water, and boil VIII) FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS 97 until the bromin is completely driven off. Remove from the heat and add a slight excess of strong ammonium hydroxid (about 7 cc. is required). Again boil until the excess of ammonia is expelled, as shown by a change of color of the liquid, and a partial precipitation. Then add a slight excess of strong acetic acid (3 or 4 ec. of 80% acid) and boil for a minute. Cool to room temperature and add 10 ce. of 30% potassium iodid solution. Titrate at once with the thiosulphate solution until the brown tinge has become weak, then add sufficient starch indicator [VII, 3 (a)] to produce a marked blue coloration. Continue the titration cautiously until the color due to free iodin has entirely vanished. The blue color changes to- ward the end toa faint lilac. If at this point the thiosulphate be added drop by drop and a little time allowed for complete reaction after each addition, there is no diffi- culty in determining the end point within a single drop. One cc. of the thiosulphate solution will be found to correspond to about 0.005 gram of copper. 29 DETERMINATION. After washing the precipitated cuprous oxid, cover the Gooch with a watch glass and dissolve the oxid by means of 5 cc. of warm nitric acid (1 to 1) poured under the watch glass with a pipette. Catch the filtrate in a 250 cc. flask, wash the watch glass and Gooch free of copper, using about 50 cc. of water. Boil to expel red fumes, add 5 cc. of bromin water, boil off the bromin, and proceed exactly as in 28. 30 IIT. Volumetric Permanganate Method.—Tentative. Filter and wash the cuprous oxid as directed under 25. Transfer the asbestos film to the beaker, add about 30 cc. of hot water, and beat the precipitate and asbes- tos thoroughly. Rinse the crucible with 50 cc. of a hot saturated solution of ferric sulphate in 20% sulphuric acid, receiving the rinsings in the beaker containing the precipitate. After the cuprous oxid is dissolved, wash the solution into a large Erlenmeyer flask and immediately titrate with a standard solution of potassium permanganate, 1 cc. of which should be equivalent to 0.010 gram of copper. Stand- ardize this solution by making 6 or more determinations with the same sugar solu- tion, titrating one half of the precipitates obtained, and determining the copper in the others by electrolysis. The average weight of copper obtained by electrolysis, divided by the average number of cc. of permanganate solution required for the titrations, gives the weight of copper equivalent to 1 cc. of the standard perman- ganate solution. A solution standardized with iron or oxalic acid will give too low a result. 31 IV. Electrolytic Deposition from Sulphuric Acid Solution.—Tentative. Filter the cuprous oxid in a Gooch, wash the beaker and the precipitate thoroughly with hot water without transferring the precipitate to the filter. Wash the asbestos film and the adhering cuprous oxid into the beaker by means of hot dilute nitric acid. After the copper is all in solution, refilter through a thin film of asbestos in a Gooch and wash thoroughly with hot water. Add 10 cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to 4), and evaporate the filtrate on the steam bath until the copper salt has largely crystal- lized. Heat carefully on a hot plate or over asbestos until the evolution of white fumes shows that the excess of nitric acid is removed. Add 8-10 drops of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42) and rinse into a 100-125 cc. platinum dish. Deposit the copper by 98 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. electrolysis. Wash thoroughly with water, then break the current, wash with alco- hol and ether successively, dry at about 50°C., and weigh. If preferred, the elec- trolysis can be conducted in a beaker, the copper being deposited upon a weighed platinum electrode. 32. V. Electrolytic Deposition from Sulphuric and Nitric Acid Slution.—Tentative. Filter and wash as directed under 31. Transfer the asbestos film from the cru- cible to the beaker by means of a glass rod and rinse the crucible with about 30 ce. of a boiling mixture of dilute sulphuric and nitric acids, containing 65 cc. of sul- phuric acid (sp. gr. 1.84) and 50 ce. of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42) per liter. Heat and agitate until solution is complete; filter and electrolyze as under 31. 33 VI. Electrolytic Deposition from Nitric Acid Solution.—Tentative. Filter and wash as directed under 31. Transfer the asbestos film and adhering oxid to the beaker. Dissolve the oxid still remaining in the crucible by means of 2 ce. of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42), adding it with a pipette and receiving the solution in the beaker containing the asbestos film. Rinse the crucible with a jet of water, allowing the rinsings to flow into the beaker. Heat the contents of the beaker until the copper is all in solution, filter, dilute the filtrate to a volume of 100 cc. or more, and electrolyze. When a nitrate solution is electrolyzed, the first washing of the deposit should be made with water acidulated with su'phuric acid, in order to remove all the nitric acid before the current is interrupted. 34 VII. Reduction in Hydrogen.—Tentative. Deposit an asbestos film on a perforated platinum dise or cone contained in a hard glass filtering tube, wash free from locse fibers, dry and weigh. Through this tube, previously moistened, filter the cuprous oxid immediately, using suction. Transfer the cuprous oxid to the tube through a removable funnel, and wash thor- oughly with hot water, alcohol and ether successively. After drying, connect the tube with a supply of dry hydrogen, heat gently until the cuprous oxid is com- pletely reduced to metallic copper, cool in the current of hydrogen, and weigh. If preferred, a Gooch crucible may be used for the filtration. Herzfeld Gravimetric Method.—Tentative. Method TI.

Prepare the solution of the material to be examined so as to contain 20 grams in 100 ce., free from suspended impurities by filtration and from soluble impurities by neutral lead acetate, removing the excess of lead by means of sodium carbonate. Place 50 cc. of the reagent and 50 ce. of the sugar solution in a 250 ec. beaker. Heat this mixture at such a rate that approximately 4 minutes are required to bring it to the boiling point, and boil for exactly 2 minutes. Add 100 cc. of cold, recently boiled, water. Filter immediately through asbestos, and determine the copper by one of the methods under 28, 29-34, respectively. Obtain the corresponding vercentage of invert sugar from 37.

Prepare a solution of the material to be examined in such a manner that it con- tains 20 grams in 100 cc. after clarification and removal of the excess of lead. Pre- pare a series of solutions in large test tubes by adding 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 cc. of this solution to each tube successively. Add 5cc. of the reagent to each, heat to boiling, boil 2 minutes, and filter. Note the volume of sugar solution which gives the fil- trate lightest in tint, but still distinctly blue. Place 20 times this vo ume of the sugar solution in a 100 ce. flask, dilute to the mark, and mix well. Use 50 ce. of the solution for the determination, which is conducted as described under 39. For the calculation of the result use the following formulas and table of factors of Meissl and Hiller: Let Cu = the weight of copper obtained; P = the polarization of the sample; W = the weight of the sample in the 50 ce. of the solution used for the determination; the factor obtained from the table for the conversion of copper to invert sugar; F Cu Then ae =Z, approximate weight of invert sugar; 100 ; : Vio W =Y, approximate per cent of invert sugar; 100 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 100 P .

TOTAL SUGARS.1! (Applicable to cattle foods.) 57 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Place 12 grams of the material in a 300 cc. graduated flask, if the substance has an acid reaction add 1-3 grams of calcium carbonate, and boil on a steam bath for1 hour with 150 cc. of 50% alcohol by volume, using a small funnel in the neck of the flask to condense the vapor. Cool, and allow the mixture to stand several hours, prefer- ably overnight. Make up to volume with neutral 95% alcohol, mix thoroughly, allow to settle, transfer 200 cc. to a beaker with a pipette, and evaporate on a steam bath to a volume of 20-30 cc. Do not evaporate to dryness, a little alcohol in the residue doing no harm. Trans- fer to a 100 cc. graduated flask, and rinse the beaker thoroughly with water, adding the rinsings to the contents of the flask. Add enough saturated neutral lead acetate solution to produce a flocculent precipitate, shake thoroughly and allow to stand 15 minutes. Make up to the mark with water, mix thorough'y, and filter through a dry filter. Add sufficient anhydrous sodium carbonate to the filtrate to precipitate all the lead, again filter through a dry paper and test the filtrate with a little anhy- drous sodium carbonate to make sure that all the lead has been removed. 58 DETERMINATION OF REDUCING SUGARS, Proceed as directed under 26 or 29-34 respectively, employing the Soxhlet modification of Fehling’s solution and using 25 cc. of the solution (representing 2 grams of the sample), prepared as directed in 57. Express the results as dextrose or invert sugar. 59 SUCROSE. Introduce 50 cc. of the solution, prepared as directed in 57, into a 100 cc. gradu- ated flask, add a piece of litmus paper, neutralize with acetic acid, add 5 cc. of con- centrated hydrochloric acid and allow the inversion to proceed at room temperature as directed under 14 or 16. When inversion is complete, transfer the solution to a beaker, neutralize with sodium carbonate, return the solution to th2 100 cc. flask, dilute to the mark with water, filter if necessary and determine reducing sugars in 50 cc. of the solution (representing 2 grams of the sample) as directed in 58, and calculate the results as invert sugar. Subtract the per cent of reducing sugars be- fore inversion from the per cent of total sugar after inversion, both calculated as invert sugar, and multiply the difference by 0.95 to obtain the per cent of sucrose present. Since the insoluble material of grain or cattle food occupies some space in the flask as originally made up, it is necessary to correct for this volume. Results of a large number of determinations on various materials have shown the average volume of 12 grams of material to be 9 cc., and therefore to obtain the true amount of sugars present all results must be multiplied by the factor 0.97. 110 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. STARCH. 60 Direct Acid Hydrolysis (Modified Sachsse Method).—Offcial. (In this method there will be included as starch the pentosans and other carbo- hydrate bodies present which undergo hydrolysis and conversion into reducing sugars on boiling with hydrochloric acid.) Stir a quantity of the sample, representing 2.5-3 grams of the dry material, in a beaker with 50 cc. of cold water for an hour. Transfer to a filter and wash with 250 ec. of cold water. Heat the insoluble residue for 24 hours with 200 cc. of water and 20 ce. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.125) in a flask provided with a reflux con- denser. Cool, and nearly neutralize with sodium hydroxid. Complete the volume to 250 cc., filter, and determine the dextrose in an aliquot of the filtrate as directed under 52 or 54. The weight of the dextrose obtained multiplied by 0.90 gives the weight of starch, The factor 0.9 is the theoretical ratio between starch and glucose but, according to Noyes!? and other investigators, the factor 0.93 more nearly approaches the actual yield. Diastase Method with Subsequent Acid Hydrolysis.—Tentative. 61 REAGENT. Malt extract.—Digest 10 grams of fresh, finely ground malt for 2-3 hours at or- dinary temperature with 200 cc. of water and filter. Determine the amount of dex- trose in a given quantity of the filtrate after boiling with acid, etc., as in the starch determination, and make the proper correction in the subsequent determination. 62 DETERMINATION. Extract a convenient quantity of the substance (ground to an impalpable powder and representing 4-5 grams of the dry material) on a hardened filter with 5 successive portions of 10cc. of ether; wash with 150 cc. of 10% alcohol and then with a little strong alcohol. Place the residue in a beaker with 50 cc. of water, immerse the beaker in boil- ing water, and stir constantly for 15 minutes or until all the starch is gelatinized; cool to 55°C., add 20 cc. of malt extract, and maintain at this temperature for an hour.., Heat again to boiling for a few minutes, cool to 55°C., add 20 cc. of malt extract, and maintain at this temperature for an hour or until the residue treated with iodin shows no blue color upon microscopic examination. Cool, make up directly to 250 ce., and filter. Place 200 cc. of the filtrate in a flask with 20 cc. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.125); connect with a reflux condenser and heat in a boiling water bath for 23 hours. Cool, nearly neutralize with sodium hydroxid solution, finish the neutralization with sodium carbonate solution, and make up to 500 ce. Mix the solution well, pour through a dry filter, and determine the dextrose in an aliquot as directed under 52 or 54. Conduct a blank determination upon the same volume of the malt extract as used upon the sample and correct the weight of reduced copper accord- ingly. The weight of the dextrose obtained multiplied by 0.90 gives the weight of starch. PENTOSANS.—TENTATIVE. 63 REAGENT. Phloroglucin.—Dissolve a small quantity of the phloroglucin in a few drops of acetic anhydrid, heat almost to boiling, and add a few drops of concentrated sul- Vit] FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS 111 phuric acid. A violet color indicates the presence of diresorcin. A phloroglucin which gives more than a faint coloration may be purified by the following method: Heat in a beaker about 300 cc. of hyd-ochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.06) and 11 grams of commercial phloroglucin, added in small quantities at a time, stirring constantly until it has almost entirely dissolved. Pour the hot solution into a sufficient quan- tity of the same hydrochloric acid (cold) to make the volume 1500 cc. Allow it to stand at least overnight, preferably several days, to permit the diresorcin to crystallize out. Filter immediately before using. A yellow tint does not inter- fere with its usefulness. In using it, add the volume containing the required amount to the distillate. 64 DETERMINATION. Place a quantity of the material, 2-5 grams, chosen so that the weight of phloro- glucid obtained shall not exceed 0.300 gram, in a 300 cc. distillation flask, together with 100 cc. of 12% hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.06), and several pieces of recently heated pumice stone. Place the flask on a wire gauze, connect with a condenser, and heat, rather gently at first, and regulate so as to distil over 30 cc. in about 10 minutes, the distillate passing through a small filter paper. Rep'ace the 30 cc. distilled by a like quantity of the dilute acid, added by means of a separatory funnel in such a manner as to wash down the particles adhering to the sides of the flask, and continue the process until the distillate amounts to 360 cc. To the total distillate add gradually a quantity of phloroglucin dissolved in 12% hydrochloric acid and stir thoroughly the resulting mixture. The amount of phloroglucin used should be about double that of the furfural expected. The solution turns first yellow, then green, and very soon an amorphous greenish precipitate appears, which grows darker rapidly, till it becomes finally almost black. Make the solution up to 400 ec. with 12% hydrochloric acid, and allow to stand overnight. Filter the amorphous black precipitate into a tared Gooch crucible through an asbestos mat, wash carefully with 150 cc. of water in such a way that the water is not entirely removed from the crucible until the very last, then dry for 4 hours at the temperature of boiling water, cool and weigh in a weighing bottle, the increase in weight being reckoned as furfural phloroglucid. To calculate the furfural, pen- tose, or pentosan from the phloroglucid, use the following formulas given by Krober: (1) For a weight of phloroglucid, designated by ‘‘a’”’ in the following formulas, under 0.03 gram, Furfural = (a + 0.0052) x 0.5170. Pentoses = (a + 0.0052) X 1.0170. Pentosans = (a + 0.0052) « 0.8949. In the above and also in the following formulas, the factor 0.0052 represents the - weight of phloroglucid which remains dissolved in the 400 cc. of acid solution. (2) For a weight of phloroglucid ‘‘a’’ over 0.300 gram, Furfural = (a + 0.0052) < 0.5180. Pentoses = (a + 0.0052) * 1.0026. Pentosans = (a + 0.0052) « 0.8824. For a weight of phloroglucid ‘‘a’’ between 0.03 and 0.300 gram use Krdéber’s table, 65, or the following formulas in which the factors were calculated from Krdéber’s tables by C. A. Browne, Furfural = (a + 0.0052) x 0.5185. Pentoses = (a + 0.0052) & 1.0075. Pentosans = (a + 0.0052) * 0.8866. 112 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 65 TABLE 8.—KROBER’S TABLE."

Extract a convenient quantity of the substance, representing 2.5-3 grams of the dry material, on a hardened filter with 5 successive portions of 10 cc. of ether, place the extracted residue in a beaker, about 5.5 cm. in diameter and 7 cm. deep, together with 60 cc. of nitric acid of 1.15 sp. gr., and evaporate the solution to exactly one third its volume in a water bath at a temperature of 94°-96°C. After standing 24 hours, add 10 cc. of water to the precipitate, and allow it to stand another 24 hours. The mucic acid has in the meantime crystallized, but it is mixed with considerable material only partially oxidized by the nitric acid. Filter the solution through filter paper, wash with 30 cc. of water to remove as much of the nitric acid as possible, and replace the filter and contents in the beaker. Add 30 cc. of ammonium car- bonate solution, consisting of 1 part ammonium carbonate, 19 parts water, and 1 part strong ammonium hydroxid, and heat the mixture on a water bath, at 80°C., for 15 minutes, with constant stirring. The ammonium carbonate takes up the mucie acid, forming soluble ammonium mucate. Wash the filter paper and con- tents several times with hot water by decantation, passing the washings through a filter paper, to which finally transfer the material and thoroughly wash. Evapo- rate the filtrate to dryness over a water bath, avoiding unnecessary heating which causes decomposition, add 5 cc. of nitric acid of 1.15 sp. gr., stir thoroughly the mixture and allow to stand for 30 minutes. The nitric acid decomposes the am- monium mucate, precipitating the mucic acid; collect this on a tared filter or Gooch, wash with 10-15 cc. of water, then with 60 cc. of alcohol, and a number of times with ether, dry at the temperature of boiling water for 3 hours, and weigh. Mul- tiply the weight of the mucic acid by 1.33, which gives galactose, and multiply this product by 0.9 which gives galactan. CRUDE FIBER.—OFFICIAL. 67 REAGENTS. (a) 1.25% sulphuric acid solution —Exact strength, determined by titration. (b) 1.25% sodium hydroxid solution.—Exact strength, determined by titration. 68 DETERMINATION. Extract a quantity of the substance, representing about 2 grams of the dry materia', with ordinary ether, or use the residue from the determination of the ether extract. To this residue in a 500 cc. flask add 200 cc. of boiling 1.25% sulphuric acid; connect the flask with an inverted condenser, the tube of which passes only a short distance beyond the rubber stopper into the flask, or simply cover a tall coni- cal flask, which is well suited for this determination, with a watch glass or short stemmed funnel, boil at once and continue boiling gently for 30 minutes. A blast of air conducted nto the flask will serve to reduce the frothing of the liquid. Filter through linen and wash with boiling water until the washings are no longer acid; rinse the substance back into the flask with 200 ce. of boiling, 1.25% solution of sodium hydroxid, free or nearly free from sodium carbonate boil at once, and con- tinue boiling gently for 30 minutes as directed above for the treatment with acid, filter at once rapidly, and wash with boiling water until the washings are neutral. The last filtration may be performed upon a Gooch crucible, a linen filter, or a tared filter paper. Ifa linen filter is used, rinse the crude fiber, after washing is completed, into a flat-bottomed platinum dish by means of a jet of water; evaporate to dryness on a steam bath, dry to constant weight at 110°C., weigh, incinerate completely, and weigh again. The loss in weight is considered to be crude fiber. If a tared filter VIII] FOODS AND FEEDING STUFFS 119 paper is used, weigh in a weighing bottle. In any case the crude fiber after drying to constant weight at 110°C. must be incinerated and the amount of the ash deducted from the original weight. 69 ‘ WATER-SOLUBLE ACIDITY OF FEEDS.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 10 grams of the sample into a shaking bottle, add 200 cc. of water, and shake for 15 minutes. Filter the extract through a folded filter and take a 20 ce. aliquot (equivalent to 1 gram of sample) for the titration. Dilute with 50 cc. of water and titrate with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as indicator. In reporting the acidity of feeds, state the results in terms of cc. of N/10 sodium hydroxid required for neutralization. BIBLIOGRAPHY. see ie Zucker-Ind., 1900, 37 (I): 357; 1918, 63 (I): 25; J.

Calculate all results to the weight of the original substance. (b) Semisolids (jellies, jams, etc.).—Weigh 50 grams of the sample into a 250 ec. graduated flask. Treat with water, fill to the mark and mix thoroughly. If insoluble material remains, mix uniformly by shaking before taking aliquots for the various determinations. (Cc) Solids (sugar, confectionery, etc.).—Grind and mix thoroughly materials of this class to secure uniform samples. MOISTURE. DRYING METHODS. ? SUGARS.—OFFICIAL. Dry 2-5 grams in a flat dish (nickel, platinum, or aluminium) at the temperature of boiling water for 10 hours; cool in a desiccator and weigh; then dry again for an hour or until there is only a slight change in weight. With some sugars, more especially those of large grain, there is danger of occlu- sion and retention of water. The International Commission for Unifying Methods of Sugar Analysis prescribe drying at 105°-110°C. for normal beet sugars. This temperature is sufficient to expel the last traces of occluded water and is not attended with sufficient decomposition to affect the weight of the product. The drying tem- perature should never exceed 110°C’. MASSECUITES, MOLASSES, AND OTHER LIQUID AND SEMILIQUID PRODUCTS. 3 Drying upon Pumice Stone.—Tentative. Prepare pumice stone of two grades of fineness, one of which will pass through a 1 mm. sieve, the other through a 6 mm. sieve. Make the determination in flat metallic dishes or in shallow, flat-bottomed, weighing bottles. Place a layer of the fine pumice stone, 3 mm. in thickness, on the bottom of the dish, then a layer of the coarse pumice stone 6-10 mm. in thickness, dry and weigh. Dilute the sam- ple with a weighed portion of water so that the diluted material shall contain 20- 30% of solid matter. Weigh into the dish, prepared as described above, an amount of the diluted sample to yield, approximately, 1 gram of dry matter. If this weigh- ing can not be made rapidly, use a weighing bottle provided with a cork through which a pipette passes. Dry in vacuo at 70°C. to constant weight, making trial weighings at intervals of 2 hours. For substances containing little or no levulose or other readily decomposable substance, the drying may be made in a water oven at the temperature of boiling water. 4 Drying upon Quartz Sand.—Tentative. Digest pure quartz sand with strong hydrochloric acid, wash, dry, and ignite. Preserve in a stoppered bottle. 12] 122 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Place 6-7 grams of the prepared sand and a short stirring rod in a flat-bottomed dish. Dry thoroughly, cool in a desiccator, and weigh. Then add 3-4 grams of the molasses, mix with the sand (if necessary to thoroughly incorporate the two, add a little water), dry in a water oven at the temperature of boiling water for 8-10 hours, stirring at intervals of an hour, cool in a desiccator, and weigh. Stir, heat again for an hour, cool, and weigh. Repeat the heating and weighing until the loss of water in an hour is not greater than 3 mg. AREOMETRIC METHODS. (Not applicable to low-grade sugar products, molasses and other materials containing large amounts of non-sugar solids.) SPECIFIC GRAVITY, WATER AND TOTAL SOLIDS. 5 By Means of a Spindle.—Official. The density of juices, sirups, etc., is most conveniently determined by means of the Brix hydrometer. For rough work, or where less accuracy is desired, the Baumé hydrometer may be used. The Brix spindle should be graduated to tenths. The range of degrees recorded by each individual spindle should be as limited as possible. The solution should be as nearly as practicable of the same tempera- ture as the air at the time of reading, and, if the variation from the temperature of the graduation of the spindle amounts to more than 1°, a correction must be applied according to the table under 6. Before taking the density of a juice, allow it to stand in the cylinder until all air bubbles have escaped, and until all fatty or waxy matter has come to the surface and been skimmed off. The cylinder should be large enough in diameter to allow the hydrometer to come to rest without touch- 20°C: and per cent by weight of suc- 4° Manes E ‘ Pe een rose is given under 9, and a table for the comparison of specific gravities at Ws»? ing the sides. A table of specific gravities at degrees Brix (per cent by weight of sucrose), and degree Baumé is given under 8. If the sample is too dense to determine the density directly, dilute a weighed portion with a weighed quantity of water, or dissolve a weighed portion and dilute to a known volume with water. In the first instance the per cent of total solids is calculated by the following formula: WS Per cent of solids in the undiluted material = tae in which S = per cent of solids in the diluted material; W = weight of the diluted material; w = weight of the sample taken for dilution. When the dilution is made to a definite volume, the following formula is to be used: Per cent of solids in the undiluted material = VDS. f W in which V = volume of the diluted solution at a given temperature; D = specific gravity of the diluted solution at the same temperature; S = per cent of solids in the diluted solution at the same temperature; W = weight of the sample taken for dilution at the same temperature. If the spindle reading be made at any other temperature than 17.5°C., the re- sult should be corrected according to the following: IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 123 6 TABLE 9. For correction of the readings of the Brix spindle when made at other thun the standard temperature, 17.5°C. (For temperatures below 17.5°C. the correction is to be subtracted.)

Example.—The pycnometer shows the specific gravity of a certain sirup to be 1.20909. The table shows that the corresponding degree Brix is between 45.0 and 46.0. Subtracting the specific gravity of a solution of 45° Brix from the correspond- ing figure for 46°, we have (expressing the specific gravities as whole numbers) 121,100 — 120,565 = 535, the difference in specific gravity for 1° Brix at this point in the table. Subtracting the specific gravity corresponding to 45° from the spe- cific gravity found by analysis, we have 120,909 — 120,565 = 344; ae = 0.64, the frac- tion of 1° Brix more than 45°. The degree Brix, corresponding to a sp. gr. of 1.20909, is therefore 45.64. IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 125 9 TABLE 11. Densities* of solutions of cane sugar at 20°C.

Determine the refractive index of the solution at 28°C. and obtain the corre- sponding percentage of dry substance from 11. If the refractive index is obtained at a temperature other than 28°C., correct the result as indicated in 12. lf the solution is too dark to be read in the instrument, dilute with a concentrated sugar solution. Water should never be used for this purpose. Mix weighed amounts of the solution under examination and a solution of pure sugar of about the same strength, and obtain the amount of dry substance in the former by the following formula: et BG BD A refractive index; TABLE 12.—GEERLIGS’ TABLE. in which SACCHARINE PRODUCTS per cent of dry substance to be found; weight in grams of the material mixed with B; weight in grams of pure sugar solution employed in the dilution; = per cent of dry substance in the mixture of A and B obtained from the 127 per cent of dry substance in the pure sugar solution obtained from its refractive index.

Heat 5-10 grams of the sample in a 50-100 cc. platinum dish at 100°C. until the water is expelled, add a few drops of pure olive oil, and heat slowly over a flame until swelling ceases. Then place the dish in a muffle and heat at low redness until a white ash is obtained. 14 Method II.—Official. Carbonize the mass at a low heat, dissolve the soluble salts in hot water, burn the residual mass as directed in 13, add the solution of soluble salts, and evaporate to dryness at 100°C., ignite gently, cool in a desiccator, and weigh. 15 Method III.—Offcial. Saturate the sample with sulphuric acid, dry, ignite gently, then burn in a muf- fle at low redness. Deduct one tenth of the weight of the ash, and calculate the per cent. 16 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ASH.—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under III. iN7¢ SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Ash the material as directed under 13 or 14. Add water to the ash in the plati- num dish, beat nearly to boiling, filter through an ashless filter paper, and wash with hot water until the combined filtrate and washings measure about 60 cc. Re IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 129 turn the filter paper and contents to the platinum dish, ignite carefully, and weigh. Calculate the percentages of water-soluble and water-insoluble ash. 18 ALKALINITY OF THE SOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Cool the filtrate from 17 and titrate with N/10 hydrochloric acid, using methyl orange as an indicator. Express the alkalinity in terms of the number of cc. of N/10 acid per 1 gram of the sample. 19 ALKALINITY OF THE INSOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Add an excess of N/10 hydrochloric acid (usually 10-15 cc.) to the ignited insolu- ble ash in the platinum dish, under 17, heat to boiling over an asbestos plate, cool, and titrate the excess of hydrochloric acid with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using methyl orange as an indicator. Express the alkalinity in terms of the number of cc. of N/10 acid per 1 gram of the sample. 20 MINERAL ADULTERANTS IN THE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Mix 100 grams of molasses, sirup, honey, or the confectionery solution prepared as directed under 1 (b) and evaporate to a sirupy consistency, with about 35 grams of concentrated sulphuric acid in a large porcelain evaporating dish. Pass an electric current through it while stirring by placing one platinum electrode in the bottom of the dish near one side and attaching the other to the lower end of the glass rod with which the contents are stirred. Begin with a current of about 1 ampere and gradually increase to 4 (modified from method of Budde and Schou‘ for determining nitrogen electrolytically). In 10-15 minutes the mass is reduced to a fine dry char, which may be readily burnt to a white ash in the original dish over a free flame or in a mufile. This method! is preferred to the ordinary method of heating with sulphuric acid, especially in the case of molasses, because, if properly manipulated, it comes quietly into the form of a very finely divided char or powder, especially adapted for subse- quent quick ignition. If an electric current is not available, treat in a large porcelain dish 100 grams of the saccharine solution, evaporated to a sirupy consistency, with sufficient concen- trated sulphuric acid to thoroughly carbonize the mass and ignite in the usual manner. The following adulterants may be present: salts of tin, used in molasses to bleach; mineral pigments, such as chromate of lead in yellow confectionery; oxid of iron, sometimes used to simulate the color of chocolate; and copper. These elements may be detected by the usual qualitative tests. 21 NITROGEN.—TENTATIVE. Determine nitrogen in 5 grams of the material as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, using a larger quantity of the sulphuric acid if necessary for complete digestion. SUCROSE. 22 Method I.—Tentative. (Substances in which the volume of the combined insoluble matter and precipitate from clarifying agents is less than 1 cc. from 26 grams.) Determine sucrose by polarization before and after inversion, as directed under VII, 14. 130 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. All products which contain dextrose or other reducing sugars in the crystalline form, or in supersaturated solution, exhibit the phenomenon of birotation. The con- stant rotation only should be employed in the Clerget formula, and to obtain this the solutions prepared for direct polarization should be allowed to stand overnight before making the reading. If it is desired to make the direct reading immediately, the birotation may be destroyed by heating the neutral solution to boiling for a few ee or by adding a few drops of strong ammonium hydroxid before completing e volume. 23 Method II. (Double dilution method.*)—Tentative. (Substances in which the volume of the combined insoluble matter and precipitate from clarifying agents is more than 1 cc. from 26 grams.) Weigh out a half normal weight of the sample and make up the solution to 100 cc., employing the appropriate clarifier (basic lead acetate for dark colored con- fectionery or molasses and alumina cream forlight colored confectionery). Also weigh out a normal weight of the sample and make up a second solution with the clarifier to 100 cc. Filter and obtain direct polariscopic readings of both solu- tions. Invert each solution as directed in 22 and obtain its invert reading. The true direct polarization of the sample is the product of the two direct read- ings divided by their difference. The true invert polarization is the product of the two invert readings divided by their difference. Calculate the sucrose from the true polarizations thus obtained by the formula given under VIII, 14. COMMERCIAL GLUCOSE (APPROXIMATE). 24 Method I.—Tentative. (Substances containing little or no invert sugar.) Commercial glucose can not be determined accurately owing to the varying amounts of dextrin, maltose, and dextrose present in this product. However, in sirups, in which the amount of invert sugar is so small as not to appreciably affect the result, commercial glucose may be estimated approximately by the following formula:? — 8) 100 G = ou in which G = per cent of commercial glucose; a = direct polarization; S = per cent of cane sugar. Express the results in terms of commercial glucose polarizing +175°V. Method II.—Tentative. 25 (Substances containing invert sugar.’) Prepare an inverted half normal solution of the substance as directed under VIII, 14 except that after inversion cool the solution, make neutral to phenol- phthalein with sodium hydroxid solution, slightly acidify with hydrochloric acid, and treat with 5-10 cc. of alumina cream before making up to the mark. Filter and polarize at 87°C. in a 200 mm. jacketed tube. Multiply the reading by 200 and divide by the factor 163 to express the amount of glucose present in terms of glu- cose polarizing +175°V. IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 131 25 REDUCING SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. Determine either as dextrose or invert sugar as directed under VIII, 50, 51, 52, 54, or 21, 23, 25, 36 or 39. 27. STARCH.—TENTATIVE. Measure 25 cc. of asolution or uniform mixture, prepared as directed in 1 (b), (representing 5 grams of the sample) into a 300 cc. beaker, or introduce 5 grams of the finely ground sample (previously extracted with ether if the sample contains much fat) into the beaker, add sufficient water to make the volume 100 cc., heat to about 60°C. (avoiding if possible gelatinizing the starch) and allow to stand for about an hour, stirring frequently to secure complete solution of the sugars. Transfer to a stout wide-mouthed bottle, rinse the beaker with a little warm water, cool, add an equal volume of 95% alcohol, mix, and allow to stand at least an hour. Centrifugalize until the precipitate is closely packed on the bottom of the bottle and decant the supernatant liquid through a hardened filter. Wash the precipi- tate with successive 50 cc. portions of 50% alcohol by centrifugalizing and decant- ing through the filter until 3 or 4 drops of the washings give no test for sugar with alphanaphthol as described under 68. Transfer the residue from the bottle and a hardened filter to a large flask and determine starch as directed under VIII, ETHER EXTRACT IN CONFECTIONERY. 28 Continuous Extraction.—Tentative. (1) Measure 25 cc. of a 20% mixture or solution, prepared as directed under 1 (b), into a very thin, readily frangible, glass evaporating shell (Hofmeister Schalchen), containing 5-7 grams of freshly ignited asbestos fiber; or (2) If impossible to ob- tain a uniform sample, weigh 5 grams of the mixed finely divided sample into a dish, and wash with water upon the asbestos in the evaporating shell, using, if neces- sary, a small portion of the asbestos fiber on a stirring rod to transfer the last traces of the sample from the dish to the shell. Dry to constant weight at 100°C., cool, wrap loosely in smooth paper, crush into rather small fragments between the fin- gers, transfer carefully the crushed mass, exclusive of the paper, to an extraction tube or a fat extraction cartridge. A thin lead disk (bottle cap) may be substituted for the Schalchen. The disk may then be cut into small pieces and placed in the extraction tube. Extract with anhydrous ether or petroleum ether (b. p. 45°-60°C. and without weighable residue) in a continuous extraction apparatus for at least 25 hours. In most cases it is advisable to remove the substance from the extractor after the first 12 hours, grind with sand to a fine powder, and re-extract for the re- maining 13 hours. Transfer the extract to a tared flask, evaporate the solvent, dry to constant weight in an oven at 100°C. 29 Roese-Gotilieb Method.—Tentative. Substances such as butter-scotch, invariably yield extremely inaccurate results by the above method. In such cases introduce 4 grams of the material, or an amount of a uniform solution equivalent to this amount of the dry substance, into a Rohrig tube or similar apparatus, make up to a volume of 10 cc. with water, add 1.25 cc. of concentrated ammonium hydroxid and mix thoroughly. Add 10 cc. of 95% alco- hol and mix. Then add 25 cc. of washed ether and shake vigorously for half a min- ute; then add 25 cc. of petroleum ether (b. p. below 60°C.), and shake again for half a minute. Allow to stand for 20 minutes or until the separation between the 132 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. liquids is complete. Draw off as much as possible of the ether-fat solution (usually 0.5-0.8 cc. will be left) into a weighed flask through a small, rapid filter. The flask should bé weighed with a similar one as a counterpoise. Again extract the liquid remaining in the tube, this time with 15 cc. each of ether and petroleum ether, shake vigorously half a minute with each, and allow to settle. Proceed as above, wash- ing the tip of the spigot and the filter with a few cc. of a mixture of equal parts of the 2 ethers (previously mixed and free from deposited water). For absolutely exact results the extraction must be repeated. This third extraction usually yields . not more than about 1 mg. of fat, if the previous ether-fat solutions have been drawn off closely, or an amount averaging about 0.02% on a4 gram charge. Evapo- rate the ether slowly on a steam bath, then dry the fat in a boiling water oven until the loss in weight ceases. Test the purity of the fat by dissolving in a little petro- leum ether. Should a residue remain, wash the fat out completely with petroleum ether, dry the residue, weigh, and deduct the weight. 30 PARAFFIN IN CONFECTIONERY.—TENTATIVE. Add to the ether extract in the flask, as above obtained, 10 ec. of 95% alcohol and 2 cc. of sodium hydroxid solution (1 to 1), connect the flask with a reflux con- denser, and heat for an hour on the water bath, or until saponification is complete. Remove the condenser and allow the flask to remain on the bath until the alcohol is evaporated and the residue is dry. Dissolve the residue as completely as pos- sible in about 40 cc. of water and heat on the bath, shaking frequently. Wash into a separatory funnel, cool, and extract with 4 successive portions of petroleum ether, which are collected in a tared flask or capsule. Evaporate the petroleum ether and dry in the oven to constant weight. Any phytosterol or cholesterol present in the fat would be extracted with the paraffin. The amount is so insignificant that it may be disregarded generally. The character of the final residue should, however, be confirmed by determining its melting point, specific gravity, and refractive index. 31 ALCOHOL IN SIRUPS USED IN CONFECTIONERY (“BRANDY DROPS”).—TENTATIVE. Collect in a beaker the sirup from a sufficient number of pieces to yield 30-50 grams of sirup. Strain the sirup into a tared beaker and weigh. Introduce the sirup into a 250-300 cc. distilling flask, dilute with half its volume of water, attach the flask to a vertical condenser and distil almost 50 cc., or as much of the liquid as possible without causing charring. Foaming may be prevented by adding a little tannin, or a piece of paraffin about the size of a pea, to the contents of the distil- lation flask. Cool the distillate, make up to volume with water, mix well, and ascertain the specific gravity of the liquid by means of a pycnometer, and obtain the corresponding weight of alcohol in the 50 cc. of distillate from XVI, 5. Cal- culate the per cent by weight of alcohol in the candy filling. 32 COLORING MATTER.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XI. 33 METALS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XII. IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 133 HONEY.® 34 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. (a) Liquid or strained honey.—If the sample is free from granulation, mix thor- oughly by stirring or shaking before drawing weighed portions for the analytical determination. If the honey is granulated, place the container, having the stopper loose, in a water bath, and heat at a temperature not exceeding 50°C. until the sugar crystals dissolve; mix thoroughly, cool, and weigh portions for the analytical de- terminations. If sediment such as particles of comb, wax, sticks, bees, etc., are present, heat the sample to 40°C. in a water bath and filter through cheese-cloth before weighing portions for analysis. (b) Comb honey.—Cut across the top of the comb, if sealed, and separate com- pletely from the comb by straining through a 40 mesh sieve. When portions of the comb or wax pass through the sieve, heat the sample as in (A) and strain through cloth. Ifthe honey is granulated in the comb, heat until the wax is liquified, stir, cool, remove the wax and take the clear liquid for analysis. 35 - MOISTURE. Weigh 2 grams of the sample into a tared, flat-bottomed aluminium dish, having a diameter of about 60 mm. and containing 10-15 grams of fine quartz sand, which has been previously washed, dried and ignited, and a small glass stirring rod; add 5-10 cc. of water and thoroughly incorporate with the sand and honey mixture by means of the rod; dry the dish and its contents to constant weight in a vacuum oven at a temperature not exceeding 70°C. 36 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Weigh 5-10 grams of honey into a platinum dish, add a few drops of pure olive oil to prevent spattering, and heat carefully until swelling ceases and then ignite at a temperature not above dull redness until a white ash is obtained. 37 SOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 17, 38 ALKALINITY OF THE SOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 18. | POLARIZATION. 39 Direct Polarization.—Tentative. (a) Immediate direct polarization.—Transfer 26 grams of the honey to a 100 ec. flask with water, add 5 cc. of alumina cream, dilute to the mark with water at 20°C., filter, and polarize immediately in a 200 mm. tube. (b) Constant direct polarization.—Pour the solution from the tube used in read- ing (@) back into the flask, stopper, and allow to stand for 24 hours. At the end of this time again polarize the solution at 20°C. in a 200 mm. tube. (C) Birotation.—The difference between (&) and (b) gives the birotation. (d) Direct polarization at 87°C.—Polarize the solution, obtained in (b), at 87°C. in a jacketed 200 mm. tube. 134 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 40 Invert Polarization.—Tentative. (a) At 20°C.—Invert 50 cc. of the solution obtained in 39 as directed under VIII, 14 or 16, and polarize at 20°C. in a 200 mm. tube. (b) At 87°C.—Polarize the solution, obtained as directed in (a), at 87°C. in a 200 mm. jacketed tube. 41 REDUCING SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. Dilute 10 cc. of the solution, used for direct polarization, 39, to 250 cc. and de- termine reducing sugars in 25 cc. of this solution by one of the methods given under VIII, 25, 36, 39 or 56, respectively. Calculate the result to per cent of invert sugar. 42 SUCROSE.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 18. Determine reducing sugars after inver- sion by diluting 10 cc. of the solution obtained in 40, with a small amount of water, neutralizing with sodium carbonate, and making up to 250 ce. with water. Employ 50 cc. of this solution for the determination, using the same method as in 41. 43 LEVULOSE.—TENTATIVE. Multiply the direct reading at 87°C., 39 (d), by 1.0315 and subtract the product from the constant direct polarization at 20°C., 39 (b): divide the difference by 2.3919 to obtain the grams of levulose in a normal weight of the honey. From this figure calculate the per cent of levulose in the original sample. 44 DEXTROSE.—TENTATIVE. Subtract the per cent of levulose, obtained in 43, from the per cent of invert sugar, found in 41, to obtain the approximate per cent of dextrose. The dextrose can be determined more accurately by multiplying the per cent of levulose, as found in 43, by the factor 0.915, which gives its dextrose equivalent in copper reducing power. Subtract this figure from that of the reducing sugars, 41, calculated as dextrose, to obtain the percentage of dextrose inthe sample. (Owing to the difference in the reducing powersof different sugars, the sum of the dex- trose thus found and the levulose as obtained in 43 will be greater than the amount of invert sugar obtained in 41). 45 DEXTRIN (APPROXIMATE).—TENTATIVE. Transfer 8 grams of the sample (4 grams in the case of dark colored honey-dew honey) to a 100 cc. flask (using not more than 4 cc. of water) by allowing the sam- ple to drain from the weighing dish into the flask and then dissolving the residue in 2 cc. of water. After adding this solution to the contents of the flask, rinse the weighing dish with two 1 cc. portions of water to which a little alcohol is added sub- sequently. Fill the flask to the mark with absolute alcohol, shaking constantly. Set the flask aside until the dextrin has collected on the sides and bottom and the liquid is clear. Decant the clear liquid through a filter paper and wash the resi- due in the flask with 10 cc. of 95% alcohol, pouring the washings through the same filter. Dissolve the dextrin in the flask with boiling water and filter through the filter paper already used, receiving the filtrate in a tared dish, prepared as directed under 4. Rinse the flask and wash the filter a number of times with small portions of hot water, evaporate on a water bath and dry to constant weight in vacuo at 70°C. IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 135 After determining the weight of the alcohol precipitate, dissolve the latter in water and make up to definite volume, using 50 cc. of water for each 0.5 gram of pre- cipitate or part thereof. Determine reducing sugars in the solution both before and after inversion as directed under VIII, 18, expressing the results as invert sugar. Calculate sucrose from the results thus obtained and subtract the sum of the reducing sugars before inversion and sucrose from the weight of the total alcoholic precipitate to obtain the weight of the dextrin. 46 FREE ACID.—TENTATIVE. Dissolve 10 grams of the honey in water and titrate with N/10 sodium hydroxid using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Express the results in terms of cc.of N/10 sodium hydroxid required to neutralize 100 grams of the sample. 47 GLUCOSE.—TENTATIVE. Qualitative test.—Dilute the honey with water in the proportion of 1 to 1, then add a few cc. of iodin solution (1 gram of iodin, 3 grams of potassium iodid, 50 cc. of water). In the presence of glucose the solution turns red or violet, the depth and character of the color depending upon the quality and nature of the glucose em- ployed. A blank test with a pure honey of about the same color should be made in order to secure an accurate color comparison. Should the honey be dark and the percentage of glucose very small, precipitate the dextrin which may be pres- ent by adding several volumes of 95% alcohol. Allow to stand until the precipitate settles (do not filter), decant the liquid, dissolve the residue of dextrins in hot water, cool and apply the above test to this solution. A negative result is not proof of the absence of glucose as some glucose, especially of high conversion, does not give any reaction with iodin.® Quantitative test—An approximate determination can be made by Browne’s formula as follows: Multiply the difference in the polarizations of the invert solu- tion at 20°C. and 87°C. by 77 and divide this product by the percentage of invert sugar after inversion found in the sample. Multiply the quotient by 100 and di- vide the product by 26.7, to obtain the percentage of honey in the sample; 100 per cent minus the per cent of honey gives the percentage of glucose. COMMERCIAL INVERT SUGAR.10 QUALITATIVE TESTS. Fiehe Test (Bryan Modification').—Tentative. 48 REAGENT. Resorcin solution.—Dissolve 1 gram of resorcin in 100 cc. of hydrochloric acid, sp. gr. 1.19. 49 MANIPULATION. Introduce 10 cc. of a 50% honey solution into a test tube and add 5 cc. of ether. Shake gently and allow to stand for some time until the ether layer isclear. Trans- fer 2 cc. of this clear ether solution to a small test tube and add a large drop of the resorcin solution. Shake and note the color immediately. In the presence of arti- ficial invert sugar, the resorcin assumes immediately an orange-red color turning to dark red. 136 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Feder Anilin Chlorid Test.’"—Tentative. 50 REAGENT. Anilin chlorid solution.—To 100 cc. of C. P. anilin add 30 cc. of 25% hydrochloric acid. 51 MANIPULATION. Introduce 5 grams of the honey into a porcelain dish and add 2.5 ce. of the anilin reagent. A bright red color indicates the presence of commercial invert sugar. 52 DIASTASE.13 Mix 1 part of honey with 2 parts of sterile water. Treat 10 cc. of this solution with 1 cc. of 1% soluble starch solution and digest at 45°C. for an hour. At the end of this time test the mixture with 1 cc. of iodin solution (1 gram of iodin, 2 grams of potassium iodid, 300 cc. of water). Treat another 10 cc. portion of the honey solution, mixed with 1 cc. of the soluble starch solution, without heating to 45°C., with the reagent and compare the colors produced. If the original honey had not been heated sufficiently to kill the diastase, an olive-green or brown coloration will be produced in the mixture that has been heated at 45°C. Heated or artificial honey becomes blue. MAPLE PRODUCTS. 53 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. (a) Maple sirup.—Determine the moisture by the method given under 54 (a). If the moisture is less than 35%, and there is some mineral sediment, pour the clear sirup into a beaker, washing the sediment also into the beaker with water. Then concentrate the sirup by boiling to a moisture content of about 35% (b. p. 104°C.). Set aside until cool, or preferably let the covered material stand overnight, and pour off the clear liquid for the analytical work. Where no sediment is present the sample is ready for analysis after careful mixing. Where sugar has crystal- lized out, warm to dissolve the sugar before starting the analysis. It is desira- ble in order to compare results upon different samples, to reduce all results other than moisture to a dry substance basis as determined in the clear sirup. (b) Maple sugar, maple cream, maple waz, etc.—Determine moisture, by the meth- od given under 54 (b), in the sample in its original condition by thoroughly mixing, if semi-plastic, or by rubbing up in a mortar representative portions of the product if solid. For all other analytical determinations use a solution prepared as fol- lows: Weigh roughly 100 grams of the product into a beaker and dissolve by boil- ing with 200 cc. of water. Decant the resulting sirup while hot through a muslin filter, concentrate by boiling to a moisture content of 35% (b. p. 104°C.), cool, or preferably let the covered material stand overnight, set aside until clear, and use this clear sirup for analysis. It is desirable, in order to compare results upon different samples, that all results except moisture be expressed upon a dry basis. 54 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE.

Standard basic lead acetate solution.—Boil 4380 grams of normal lead acetate and 130 grams of litharge, for 30 minutes, or boil 560 grams of Horne’s dry basic lead acetate with 1 liter of water, cool, allow to settle and dilute the supernatant liquid to 1.25 sp. gr. To a measured amount of this solution add 4 volumes of water and filter if not perfectly clear. The solution should be standardized each time a set of determinations is made. If the directions for preparing the basic lead acetate are not carried out care- fully, the use of Horne’s dry basic lead acetate is preferable. 64 DETERMINATION OF LEAD IN THE BLANK. Transfer 25 cc. of the standard basic lead acetate to a 100 ce. flask, add a few drops of acetic acid, and make up to the mark with water. Shake and determine lead sulphate in 10 cc. of the solution as directed under 65. The use of the acid is im- perative in this case to keep the lead in solution, when diluted with water. 65 DETERMINATION. Transfer 25 grams of the sample to a 100 cc. flask by means of water. Add 25 cc. of the standard basic lead acetate and shake, fill to the mark, shake, and allow to stand for at least 3 hours before filtering. Pipette 10 cc. of the clear filtrate into a 250 cc. beaker, add 40 cc. of water and 1 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid, shake and add 100 cc. of 95% alcohol. Allow to stand overnight, filter on a tared Gooch, 138 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. wash with 95% alcohol, dry in a water oven, and ignite in a muffle or over a Bun- sen burner, applying the heat gradually at first, and avoiding a reducing flame. Cool and weigh. Subtract the weight of lead sulphate so found from the weight of lead sulphate found in the blank, 64, and multiply by the factor 27.325. The use of this factor gives the lead number directly without the various calculations other- wise required. MALIC-ACID VALUE. 66 Cowles Method.1—Tentative. Weigh 6.7 grams of the sample into a 200 cc. beaker, add 5 cc. of water, then 2 cc. of a 10% calcium acetate solution and stir. Add gradually, and with constant stirring, 100 cc. of 95% alcohol, and agitate the solution until the precipitate set- tles, or let stand, until the supernatant liquid is clear. Filter off the precipitate and wash with 75 cc. of 85% alcohol. Dry the filter paper and ignite in a platinum dish. Add 10 cc. of N/10 hydrochloric acid and warm gently until all the lime dissolves. Cool and titrate back with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using methyl orange as an indicator. The difference in cc. divided by 10 represents the malic acid value of the sample. Previous to use the reagents should be tested by a blank determina- tion and any necessary corrections applied. 67 METALS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XII. SUGAR HOUSE PRODUCTS. SUCROSE IN BEETS. 68 Alcohol Extraction Method (Herzfeld Modification!*).—Tentative. Weigh 26 grams of the beet pulp and transfer to a 100 ce. flask with about 50 cc. of 90% alcohol and 3-5 ce. of basic lead acetate solution. Connect a reflux condenser to the flask and place on a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes. Then pour the whole into a Soxhlet extractor, washing out the flask with fresh portions of 90% alcohol. Connect the same 100 cc. flask to the extractor, and fit the latter with a return condenser. Add 90% alcohol until the siphon is started and the flask is about three fourths full. Place the flask in a covered water bath kept at a heat that will allow the alcohol to boil freely. Continue the extraction for 1-4 hours, or until a test of the alcohol in the extractor gives no color with alpha-naphthol solution when tested as follows: Introduce into a test tube a few drops of the alco- hol coming from the extractor, add 4 or 5 drops of a 20% alcoholic alpha-naphthol solution and 2 ce. of water. Shake well, tip the tube, and allow 2-5 cc. of colorless concentrated sulphuric acid to flow down the side of the tube; then hold the tube upright and, if sucrose is present, a color varying from a faint to a deep violet will be noted at the junction of the two liquids. On shaking, the whole solution becomes a blue violet color. This test is suitable for this work, but it must be remembered that other substances besides sucrose give this color reaction. Remove the flask, transfer to a 100 cc. graduated flask, cool to the standard temperature, dilute to the mark with 90% alcohol, shake and filter, keeping the funnel covered with a watch glass. Polarize in a 200 mm. tube. Avoid evaporation and changes of temperature and also use a minimum amount of basic acetate for clarification, 3 cc. rather than 5 ce. By digestinz the beet pulp with the alcohol before extraction, the time of extraction is greatly shortened the pulp becomes thoroughly impregnated with the alcohol, and all the air is re- moved, resulting in a good extraction of the whole material. If the pulp is fine IX] SACCHARINE PRODUCTS 139 and tends to clog the siphon, alcohol-washed cotton may be used as a plug in the extractor before adding the beet pulp, and a fine mesh screen may be placed over the pulp to keep the whole compact in the extractor. 69 Pellet Aqueous Method'* (Hot Digestion).—Tentative. Weigh 52 grams of the beet cuttings and transfer them with water to a wide- mouthed flask graduated to a content of 201.2 cc.; add 5-10 ce. of basic lead acetate solution, fill the flask to the mark with hot water, and shake. Immerse the flask in a water bath at 80°C. and rotate at intervals. Add water from time to time so that at the end of the heating (about 30 minutes) the water in the flask is a little above the mark. Remove the flask from the water bath and allow it to cool to standard temperature. Add sufficient concentrated acetic acid to make the solu- tion very slightly acid (generally less than 0.5 cc.) and a few drops of ether to break the foam. Make up to the mark, mix thoroughly, filter, and polarize in a 200 mm. tube. The fineness of the pulp governs the time of heating. Add enough water at the start and maintain this volume during the extraction, so that not more than 5 ec. of water will be necessary to complete the volume after cooling. The proportion of pulp to water must not be increased beyond the prescribed amount, for when smaller proportions of water to pulp are used and then a large quantity of water is added at the last to make up to volume, the sugar does not become equally diffused and the results are too low. Differences of over 1% in sugar content may be caused by lack of care in this particular. 70 Hot Water Digestion Method.—Tentative. (Herzfeld Modification of the Sachs Le Docte Method?’.) There are needed nickel-plated sheet iron vessels, 11 cm. high, 6 cm. body diame- ter, and 4 cm. mouth diameter, also stoppers covered with tin foil to fit the same. Weigh 26 grams of the beet pulp on a watch glass (small enough to go into the neck of the beaker) and transfer to the metal beaker, add 177 cc. of dilute basic lead acetate solution (5 parts of basic lead acetate solution (sp. gr. 1.25) to 100 parts of water), shake and stopper lightly. Submerge the beaker in a water bath at 75°-80°C. for 30 minutes, shaking intermittently. When all the air has been expelled (generally after 5 minutes), tighten the stopper. After 30 minutes, shake, cool to standard temperature, filter, add a drop of acetic acid to the filtrate and polarize in a 400 mm. tube. The reading is the per cent of sugar in the beet pulp.

(a) Non-alcoholic liquids.—Many liquids may be extracted directly as described in 2 or 4 without further treatment. If gums or mucilaginous substances are present, pipette 100 cc. into a 250 cc. volumetric flask, add about 5 grams of sodium chlorid, shake until the latter is dissolved, make up to the mark with alcohol, shake vigor- ously, allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes with occasional shaking, filter through a dry folded filter and treat an aliquot of the filtrate as directed under (b). (b) Alcoholic liquids—Make 200 ce. of the sample alkaline with sodium hydroxid solution, using litmus as an indicator, and evaporate on a steam bath to about one third its original volume. Dilute to the original volume with water and filter, if necessary, through a dry filter. (c) Solid or semi-solid substances.—Grind the sample and mix thoroughly. Trans- fer a convenient quantity (50-200 grams according to the consistency of the sam- ple) to a 500 cc. volumetric flask, add sufficient water to make a volume of about 400 ce., shake until the mixture becomes uniform, add 2-5 grams of calcium chlorid, shake until the latter is dissolved, render distinctly alkaline with sodium hydroxid solution, using litmus as an indicator, fill to the mark with water, shake thoroughly, allow to stand for at least 2 hours shaking frequently and filter through a large folded filter. DETECTION AND ESTIMATION. 2 Ferric Chlorid Test.—Qualiiative. Introduce 50 cc. of the sample or an equivalent amount of an aqueous extract, prepared as directed under 1, into a separatory funnel, add one tenth its volume of dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 3) and extract with 50 cc. of ether. If the mixture emulsifies, add 10-15 cc. of petroleum ether (b. p. below 60°C.) and shake. If this treatment fails to break the emulsion whirl the mixture in a centrifuge, or allow it to stand until a considerable portion of the aqueous layer has separated, run off the latter, shake vigorously and again allow to separate. Wash the ether layer _ with two 5 ce. portions of water, evaporate the greater portion of the ether in a por- celain dish on a steam bath, allow the remainder to evaporate spontaneously and add a drop of 0.5% ferric chlorid solution. A violet color indicates salicylic acid. If coloring matter or other interfering substances are present in the residue left after evaporation of the ether, purify the salicylic acid by one of the following methods: (A) Dissolve the residue from the ether extract, obtained as directed above, in about 25 cc. of ether, transfer the latter to a separatory funnel and shake with an equal quantity of water, made distinctly alkaline with several drops of am- monium hydroxid. Allow to separate, filter the aqueous layer through a wet fil- ter into a porcelain dish, evaporate almost to dryness, and test the residue as directed above. (b) Dry the residue from the ether extract, obtained as directed above, in a desiccator over sulphuric acid and extract with several 10 cc. portions of carbon 141 142 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. disulphid or petroleum ether (b. p. below 60°C.), rubbing the contents of the dish with a glass rod, and filtering the successive portions of the solvent through a dry paper into a second porcelain dish. Evaporate the greater portion of the solvent on a steam bath, allow the remainder to evaporate spontaneously and test the residue as directed above. (C) Transfer the residue from the ether extract, obtained as directed above, to a small porcelain crucible by means of a few cc. of ether and allow the solvent to evaporate spontaneously. Cut a hole in a piece of asbestos board sufficiently large to admit about two thirds of the crucible, cover the latter with a small, round- bottomed flask filled with cold water, and heat over a small Bunsen flame until any salicylic acid present has sublimed and condensed upon the bottom of the flask. Test the sublimate as directed above. 5) Jorissen’s Test..—Qualitative. Dissolve the residue from the ether extract, obtained as directed under 2, or, in case impurities are present, the purified material obtained as directed under 2 (a), (b) or (C) in a little hot water. Cool 10 cc. of the solution in a test tube, add 4 or 5 drops of 10% potassium nitrite solution, 4 or 5 drops of 50% acetic acid and 1 drop of 10% cupric sulphate solution, mix thoroughly and heat to boiling. Boil for half a minute and allow to stand for 1-2 minutes. In the presence of salicylic acid a blood red color will develop. Colorimetric Method.—Quantitative. 4 EXTRACTION. Pipette a convenient portion of the sample (100 cc. or a volume representing not less than 20 grams of the original sample) or a solution, prepared as in 1, into a sepa- ratory funnel, make the solution neutral to litmus with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 3) and add an excess of concentrated hydrochloric acid equivalent to 2 ce. of acid for each 100 ce. of solution. Extract with 4 separate portions of ether, using for each extraction a volume of ether equivalent to half the volume of the aqueous layer. If an emulsion forms on shaking, this may usually be broken by adding a little (one fifth the volume of the ether layer) petroleum ether (b. p. be- low 60°C.) and shaking again or by centrifugalizing. If an emulsion still persists, allow it to remain with the aqueous layer. If an emulsion remains after the fourth extraction, separate it from the clear ether and the clear aqueous layer and extract it separately with 2-3 small portions of ether. Combine the ether extracts, wash with one tenth their volume of water, allow the layers to separate and reject the aqueous layer. Wash in this way until the aqueous layer after sepa- ration yields a yellow color upon the addition of methyl orange and 2 drops of N/10 sodium hydroxid. Distil slowly the greater part of the ether, transfer the remainder to a porcelain dish and allow the ether to evaporate spontaneously. If there are no interfering substances present, proceed as directed in 5. If such interfering substances are present, purify the residue by one of the following methods: (a) Dry thoroughly the residue in vacuo over sulphuric acid and extract with 10 portions of 10-15 ec. each of carbon disulphid or petroleum ether (b. p. below 60°C.), rub the contents of the dish with a glass rod and filter the successive portions of the solvent through a dry filter into a porcelain dish. Test the extracted resi- due with a drop of ferric alum solution and, if it gives a reaction for salicylic acid, dissolve it in water and reextract with ether, proceeding as directed above. Dis- til the greater portion of the carbon disulphid or petroleum ether and allow the remainder to evaporate spontaneously. Proceed as directed in 5. X] FOOD PRESERVATIVES 143 (b) Dissolve the residue in 40-50 ce. of ether. Transfer the ether solution to a separatory funnel and extract with 3 successive 15 cc. portions of 1% ammonium hydroxid. (If fat is known to be present in the original ether extract, extract the latter directly with 4 portions of the ammonium hydroxid instead of 3.) Combine the alkaline aqueous extracts, acidify, again extract with ether and wash the com- bined ether extracts as directed above. Distil slowly the greater portion of the ether, allow the remainder to evaporate spontaneously and proceed as directed in 5. 5 DETERMINATION. Dissolve the residue, obtained in 4, in a small amount of hot water and, after cooling, dilute to a definite volume (usually 50-100 cc.), dependent on the amount of salicylic acid present. If the solution is not clear, filter through a dry filter. Dilute aliquots of the solution and treat with a few drops of 0.5% ferric chlorid solution or 2% ferric alum solution. The ferric alum solution should be boiled until a precipitate appears, allowed to settle, and filtered. The acidity of the solution is slightly increased in this manner, but it remains clear for a considerable time, and the turbidity caused by its dilution with water is much less and does not appear as soon as when the unboiled solution is used. This turbidity interferes with the exact matching of the color. Compare the colors developed with that obtained when a standard salicylic acid solution (containing 1 mg. of salicylic acid in 50 cc.) is similarly treated, using Nessler tubes or a colorimeter. In either case, and especially with ferric chlorid, avoid an excess of the reagent, although an excess of 0.5 cc. of 2% ferric alum solu- tion may be added to 50 cc. of the comparison solution of salicylic acid without impairing the results. BENZOIC ACID. PREPARATION OF SAMPLE. 6 General Method. If solid or semi-solid, grind the sample, and mix thoroughly. Transfer about 150 grams to a 500 cc. graduated flask, add enough pulverized sodium chlorid to saturate the water in the sample, render alkaline with sodium hydroxid solution or milk of lime, and dilute to the mark with a saturated salt solution. Allow to stand for at least 2 hours, with frequent shaking, and filter. If the sample contains large amounts of matter precipitable by salt solution, it. is advisable to follow a method similar to that given under 7 (d). When alcohol is present, follow the method given under 7 (C). When large amounts of fats are present, make an alkaline extraction of the filtrate before proceeding as directed under 11. 7 Special Methods. (a) Ketchup.—Saturate the water in 150 grams of ketchup by adding 15 grams of pulverized sodium chlorid. Transfer the mixture to a 500 cc. graduated flask, rins- ing with about 150 ec. of saturated sodium chlorid solution. Make slightly alkaline to litmus paper with strong sodium hydroxid solution and fill to the mark with satu- rated salt solution. Allow to stand for at least 2 hours, shaking frequently. Squeeze through a heavy muslin bag and then filter through a large folded filter. (b) Jellies, jams, preserves and marmalades.—Dissolve 150 grams of the sam- ple in about 300 cc. of saturated salt solution. Add 15 grams of pulverized sodium chlorid. Make alkaline to litmus paper with milk of lime. Transfer to a 500 cc. graduated flask and dilute to the mark with saturated salt solution. Allow to 144 : METHODS OF ANALYSIS ° [Chap. stand for at least 2 hours, shaking frequently, centrifugalize if necessary, and filter through a large folded filter. (C) Cider containing alcohol, and similar products—Make 250 cc. of the sample alkaline to litmus paper with sodium hydroxid solution and evaporate on the steam bath to about 100 cc. Transfer the sample to a 250 cc. graduated flask, add 30 grams of pulverized sodium chlorid and shake until dissolved. Dilute to the original volume, 250 cc., with saturated salt solution, allow to stand for at least 2 hours, shaking frequently, and filter through a folded filter. (d) Salted or dried fish—Wash 50 grams of the ground sample into a 500 cc. gradu- ated flask with water. Make slightly alkaline to litmus paper with strong sodium hydroxid solution and dilute to the mark with water. Allow to stand for at least 2 hours, shaking frequently, and then filter through a folded filter. Pipette accu- rately as large a portion of the filtrate as possible (at least 300 cc.) into a second 500 cc. flask. Add 30 grams of the pulverized sodium chlorid for each 100 cc. of solution. Shake until the salt has dissolved and dilute to the mark with saturated - salt solution. Mix thoroughly and filter off the precipitated protein matter on a folded filter. 8 DETECTION AND ESTIMATION. Extract benzoic acid as directed under 2 or 4. If benzoic acid is present in considerable quantity, it will crystallize from the ether in shining leaflets having a characteristic odor on heating. Dissolve the residue in hot water, divide into 2 portions, and test according to 9 or 10. 9 Ferric Chlorid Test.—Qualitative. | Make the solution from 8 alkaline with ammonium hydroxid, expel the excess of ammonia by evaporation, dissolve the residue in water, and add a few drops of a neutral 0.5% ferric chlorid solution. A brownish precipitate of ferric benzoate indicates the presence of benzoic acid. 10 Modified Mohler Test.2—Qualitative. Add to the water solution, prepared as described under 8, 1-3 ce. of N/3 sodium hydroxid and evaporate to dryness. To the residue, add 5-10 drops of concentrated sulphuric acid and a small crystal of potassium nitrate. Heat for 10 minutes in a glycerol bath at 120°-130°C., or for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. The temperature must not exceed 130°C. After cooling add 1 cc. of water and make distinctly ammoniacal; boil the solution to decompose any ammonium nitrite which may have been formed. Cool and add a drop of fresh, colorless ammonium sulphid, without allowing the layers to mix. A red-brown ring indicates benzoic acid. On mixing, the color diffuses through the whole liquid and, on heating, finally changes to greenish yellow. This differentiates benzoic acid from salicylic acid or cinnamic acid. The last two form colored compounds, which are not destroyed by heating. The presence of phenolphthalein interferes with this test. 11 Quantitative Method. Pipette a convenient portion (100-200 cc.) of the filtrate, obtained in 6 or 7, into a separatory funnel. Neutralize the solution to litmus paper with hydrochloric acid (1 to 3) and add an excess of 5 cc. of the same acid. In the case of salted fish a precipitation of protein matter usually occurs on acidifying, but the precipitate does not interfere with the extraction. Extract carefully with chloroform, using successive portions of 70, 50, 40, and 80 ce. To avoid an emulsion, shake cautiously X] FOOD PRESERVATIVES 145 each time. The chloroform layer usually separates readily after standing a few minutes. If an emulsion forms, break it: (1) by stirring the chloroform layer with a glass rod; (2) by drawing it off into a second funnel and giving 1 or 2 sharp shakes from one end of the funnel to the other; or (3) by centrifugalizing for a few moments. As this is a progressive extraction, draw off carefully as much of the clear chloro- form solution as possible after each extraction, but do not draw off any of the emul- sion with the chloroform layer. If this precaution is taken, the chloroform extract need not be washed. Transfer the combined chloroform extracts to a porcelain evaporating dish, rinse the container several times with a few ce. of chloroform, and evaporate to dryness at room temperature in a current of air dried over calcium chlorid. The extract may also be transferred from the separatory funnel to a 300 cc. Erlen- meyer flask, rinsing the separatory funnel 3 times with 5-10 cc. of chloroform. Dis- til very carefully to about one fourth the original volume, keeping the temperature down so that the chloroform comes over in drops, not in a steady stream. Then transfer the residue to a porcelain evaporating dish, rinsing the flask 3 times with 5-10 cc. portions of chloroform, and allow to evaporate to dryness spontaneously. Dry the residue overnight (or until no odor of acetic acid can be detected if the product is a ketchup) in a desiccator containing sulphuric acid. Dissolve the resi- due of benzoic acid in 30-50 cc. of neutral alcohol, add about one fourth this volume of water, 1 or 2 drops of phenolphthalein, and titrate with N/20 sodium hydroxid (1 ce. is equivalent to 0.0072 gram of anhydrous sodium benzoate). SACCHARIN. 12 Qualitative Test. Extract with ether (after maceration and exhaustion with water, if necessary), as directed in 1 and 4. Allow the ether extract to evaporate spontaneously and note the taste of the residue. The presence of saccharin, to the extent of 20 mg. per liter, is indicated by a sweet taste. Confirm by heating with sodium hydroxid, as described below, and detecting the salicylic acid formed thereby. A sweet taste, suggesting the presence of a trace of saccharin, has been obtained frequently in saccharin-free wines, due to the so-called ‘‘false saccharin’’. Acidify 50 ce. of a liquid food or the aqueous extract of 50 grams of a solid or semi- solid, prepared as directed in 1 (C), and extract with ether as directed in 13. Dis- solve the residue, remaining after evaporation of the ether, in a little hot water and test a small portion of this solution for salicylic acid as directed under 2 or 3. Dilute the remainder of the solution to about 10 cc., and add 2 cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to 3). Heat to boiling and add a slight excess of 5% potassium perman- ganate solution, drop by drop; partly cool the solution, dissolve a piece of sodium hydroxid in it, and filter the mixture into a silver dish (silver crucible lids are well adapted to the purpose); evaporate to dryness and heat for 20 minutes at 210° 215°C. Dissolve the residue in water, acidify with hydrochloric acid and test the ether extract for salicylic acid as directed under 2 or 3. By this method all the so-called ‘‘false saccharin’ and the salicylic acid naturally present (also added salicylic acid when not present in too large an amount) are destroyed, while 5 mg. of saccharin per liter are detected with certainty. 13 Quantitative Method. Pipette 100 cc. of the sample, or a convenient portion of a solution, prepared as directed under 1, representing not less than 20 grams of the sample, into a sepa- 146 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. ratory funnel, make the solution neutral to litmus with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 to 3) and then add concentrated hydrochloric acid in the proportion of 5 cc. for each 100 cc. of solution. Extract with 4 separate portions of ether using, for each extraction, a volume of ether equivalent to half the volume of the aqueous layer. If the mixture emulsifies on shaking, this difficulty may be overcome as directed under 4. Wash the combined ether extracts with two 5 cc. portions of water, re- move the ether by distillation, and transfer the residue into a platinum crucible by means of a small amount of ether.. Evaporate the ether on a steam bath, add about 2-3 cc. of 10% sodium carbonate solution to the residue, rotate so that all of the residue is brought into contact with the solution, and evaporate to dryness onasteam bath. Add 4 grams of a mixture of equal parts of anhydrous sodium and potassium carbonates, heat gently at first, and then to complete fusion for 30 minutes over an alcohol or other sulphur-free flame. Cool, dissolve the melt in water, acidify with hydrochloric acid and determine the sulphate present as barium sulphate. Correct the result thus obtained for any sulphur present in the fusion mixture as found in a blank determination. Calculate the amount of saccharin in the sample by multiplying the weight of barium sulphate by 0.7845. BORIC ACID AND BORATES. 14 Qualitative Test.§ Preliminary test.—Immerse a strip of turmeric paper in the sample acidified with hydrochloric acid in the proportion of 7 cc. of concentrated acid to each 100 ce. of sample, and allow the paper to dry spontaneously. If borax or boric acid is present, the paper will acquire a peculiar red color, changed by ammonium hydroxid to a dark blue-green but restored by acid. Solid or pasty samples may be heated with enough water to make them sufficiently fluid, concentrated hydrochloric acid added in about the proportion of 1 to 13 and the liquid tested in the same way. Confirmatory test.—Make about 25 grams of the sample decidedly alkaline with lime water and evaporate to dryness on a water bath. Ignite the residue to de- stroy organic matter. Digest with about 15 cc. of water, add concentrated hydro- chloric acid, drop by drop, until the ignited residue is dissolved, and then add 1 ec. in excess. Saturate a piece of turmeric paper with the solution, and allow it to dry without the aid of heat. In the presence of borax or boric acid, the color change will be the same as given above. 15 Quantitative Method.‘ Make 10-100 grams of the sample (depending upon the nature of the sample and the amount of boric acid present) distinctly alkaline with sodium hydroxid solution and evaporate to dryness in a platinum dish. Ignite the residue until organic matter is destroyed, avoiding an intense red heat, cool, digest with about 20 ce. of hot water, and add hydrochloric acid, drop by drop, until the reaction is distinctly acid. Filter into a 100 cc. flask, and wash with a little hot water, the volume of the filtrate not to exceed 50-60 cc. Return the filter containing any unburned carbon to the platinum dish, make alkaline by wetting thoroughly with lime water, dry on a steam bath and ignite to a white ash. Dissolve the ash in a few cc. of dilute hydrochloric acid and add to the liquid in the 100 ce. flask, rins- ing the dish with a few cc. of water. To the combined solutions, add 0.5 gram of ealcium chlorid and a few drops of phenolphthalein, then 10% sodium hydroxid solution until a permanent light pink color is produced, and finally dilute to X] FOOD PRESERVATIVES 147 the mark with lime water. Mix and filter through a dry filter. To 50 cc. of the filtrate add N/1 sulphuric acid until the pink color disappears, then add methyl orange, and continue the addition of the acid until the yellow color is changed to pink. Boil for about 1 minute to expel carbon dioxid. Cool, and carefully add N/5 sodium hydroxid until the liquid assumes a yellow tinge, avoiding an excess of the alkali. All the boric acid is now in a free state with no uncombined sulphuric acid present. Adda little phenolphthalein, and an equal volume of neutral glycerol. Titrate with N/5 sodium hydroxid until a permanent pink color is produced. About 10 grams of mannitol may be substituted for the glycerol in this determination. At the end of the titration add an additional 2 grams and continue the titration if the pink color is discharged. Repeat the alternate addition of mannitol and alkali until a permanent end point is reached. One cc. of N/5 sodium hydroxid is equivalent to 0.0124 gram of boric acid. FORMALDEHYDE. 16 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE. If solid or semi-solid, macerate 200-300 grams of the material with about 100 cc. of water in a mortar. Transfer to a short-necked, 500-800 cc. copper or glass dis- tillation flask and make distinctly acid with phosphoric acid, connect with a con- denser and distil 40-50 cc. In the case of highly colored liquids, the same method of preparation should be employed. In the case of meats and fats, extract the formaldehyde with alcohol and use the filtrate. In the case of fat, heat the mixture above the melting point of the fat to insure thorough extraction. In the case of milk, shake with an equal volume of strong alcohol and use the filtrate. Shake other liquids with an equal volume of strong alcohol and filter from any insoluble matter. QUALITATIVE TESTS. 17 Phenylhydrazin Hydrochlorid Method.® Mix 5 ce. of the distillate, as prepared under 16, or of an alcoholic solution or extract obtained as directed above, with 0.03 gram of phenylhydrazin hydrochlorid, and 4 or 5 drops of a 1% ferric chlorid solution. Add slowly and with agitation, in a bath of cold water to prevent heating the liquid, 1-2 cc. of concentrated sul- phuric acid. Dissolve the precipitate by the addition either of concentrated sul- phuric acid (keeping the mixture cool) or alcohol. In the presence of formaldehyde a red color develops. This method gives reliable reactions for formaldehyde in solutions of formalde- hyde varying from 1 part in 50,000 to 1 part in 150,000. Acetaldehyde and benz- aldehyde give no reaction when treated by this method and do not interfere with the reaction given by formaldehyde. 18 Hehner Method.* Mix about 5 cc. of the distillate, obtained in 16, with an equal volume of pure milk, or a 1-2% solution of egg albumen, in a test tube and underlay with strong commercial sulphuric acid without mixing. A violet or blue color at the junction of the two liquids indicates formaldehyde. This color is given only in the presence of a trace of ferric chlorid or other oxidizing agent. As pointed out by Hehner, milk may be treated directly by this method and gives positive tests in the presence of 1 or more parts of formaldehyde per 10,000. Some other articles of food rich in proteins, for example, egg albumen, give the reaction in the presence of water without the addition of milk. 148 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 19 Leach Method. Mix about 5 ce. of the distillate, obtained under 16, with an equal volume of pure milk in a porcelain casserole and add about 10 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, containing 1 cc. of 10% ferric chlorid solution, to each 500 cc. of acid. Heat to 80°-90°C. directly over the gas flame, rotating the casserole to break up the curd. A violet coloration indicates formaldehyde. Rimini Method.’ 20 Phenylhydrazin Hydrochlorid and Sodium Nitro-prussid Test. This method may be applied directly to liquid foods, to an aqueous or alcoholic extract of solid foods, or to the distillate prepared as directed in 16. In the case of milk, apply the method directly. In the case of meat, comminute the sample, extract with 2 volumes of hot water, and employ the expressed liquid for the test. Heat fats above their melting point with 10 cc. of alcohol, shake thoroughly, cool, filter through a moistened filter, and use the filtrate for the test. Dissolve a lump of phenylhydrazin hydrochlorid about the size of a pea in 3-5 ec. of the liquid to be tested, add 2-4 drops (not more) of a 5-10% sodium nitro- prussid solution and 8-12 drops of an approximately 12% sodium hydroxid solution. If formaldehyde is present, a green or blue color develops depending upon the amount. When formaldehyde is present to the extent of more than 1 part in 70,000- 80,000 in the solution tested, a distinct green or bluish green reaction is obtained. In more dilute solutions the green tint becomes less marked and a yellow tinge tend- ing toward greenish brown develops. With this method acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde give a color varying from red to brown, according to the strength of the solution. A reaction may there- fore be obtained with these aldehydes similar to that obtained with formaldehyde in solutions more dilute than 1 part in 70,009. The presence of acetaldehyde or benzaldehyde together with formaldehyde gives a yellowish or yellowish green tinge. The reaction for formaldehyde may therefore be masked by the presence of other aldehydes, but is characteristic when a clear green color is obtained. 21 Phenylhydrazin Hydrochlorid and Potassium Ferricyanid Test. Proceed as directed in 20, substituting a solution of potassium ferricyanid for the sodium nitro-prussid. Formaldehyde gives a red color. Alcoholic extracts from foods must be diluted with water to prevent the precipitation of potassium ferricyanid. The test is not applicable in the presence of the coloring matter of blood. 22 Phenylhydrazin Hydrochlorid and Ferric Chlorid Test. Treat 15 ec. of milk or other liquid food or of the distillate, prepared as directed under 16, with 1 cc. of a dilute phenylhydrazin hydrochlorid solution, then with a few drops of dilute ferric chlorid solution and, finally, with concentrated hydro- chloric acid. The presence of formaldehyde is indicated by the formation of a red color, which changes after some time to orange yellow. Milk may be examined directly by this method, but more delicate tests may be obtained from the distillate from milk or from milk serum. Acetaldehyde or benz- aldehyde does not interfere with the reaction. X] FOOD PRESERVATIVES 149 23 Phloroglucol Method.*® To 10 cc. of milk or other liquid food under examination in a test tube add, by means of a pipette, 2 cc. of phloroglucol reagent (1 gram of phloroglucol, 20 grams of sodium hydroxid and water to make 100 cc.), placing the end of the pipette on the bottom of the tube in such a manner that the reagent will form a separate layer. If formaldehyde be present, a bright red coloration (not purple) forms at the zone of contact. This solution gives a yellow color in the presence of some alde- hydes, and, if it is used for the detection of aldehyde formed by the oxidation of methyl alcohol after the destruction of ethyl aldehyde with hydrogen peroxid, an orange yellow color will slowly appear when an insufficient amount of hydrogen peroxid has been employed. On the other hand, if the excess of hydrogen peroxid is not fully destroyed before the use of this reagent, a purple color develops slowly. The clear, red color given by the use of this reagent forms quickly, and, in the presence of but a small amount of formaldehyde fades rapidly. FLUORIDS. QUALITATIVE TESTS. 24 Method I.—Modified Method of Blarez.® Thoroughly mix the sample and boil 150 ce. (in the case of solid foods an aqueous extract may be employed provided the fluorids are in a soluble form). Add to the boiling liquid 5 ce. of 10% potassium sulphate solution and 10 cc. of 10% barium acetate solution. Collect the precipitate in a compact mass (a centrifuge may be used advantageously) and wash upon a small filter. Transfer to a platinum crucible and ignite. Dip a carefully cleaned glass plate, while hot, in a mixture of equal parts of Car- naiiba wax and paraffin and allow to cool. Make, with a sharp instrument, a dis- tinctive mark through the wax, taking care not to scratch the surface of the glass. Add a few drops of concentrated sulphuric acid to the residue in the crucible and cover with the waxed plate, having the mark nearly over the center and mak- ing sure that the edge of the crucible is in close contact with it. Keep the top sur- face of the plate cool by means of a suitable device and heat the crucible for an hour at as high a temperature as practicable without melting the wax (an electric stove gives the most satisfactory form of heat). If fluorids be present, a distinct etching will be apparent on the glass where it was exposed. 25 Method ITI. The preceding method may be varied by mixing a small amount of precipitated silica with the precipitated barium fluorid and applying the method for the detection of fluosilicates, under 27 or 28. This method is of value in the case of foods whose ash contains a considerable amount of silica. Under these circumstances, concentrated sulphuric acid liber- ates silicon fluorid, which would escape detection under 24. FLUOBORATES AND FLUOSILICATES. 26 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE. Make about 200 grams of the sample alkaline with lime water, evaporate to dry- ness, and incinerate. Extract the crude ash with water, to which sufficient acetic 150 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. acid has been added to decompose carbonates, filter, ignite the insoluble portion, extract with dilute acetic acid, and again filter. The insoluble portion now con- tains calcium silicate and fluorid, while the filtrate will contain all the boric acid present. QUALITATIVE TESTS. 27 Method I.*° Incinerate the filter, from 26, containing the insoluble portion, mix with a little precipitated silica, transfer to a short test tube, attached to a small U-tube contain- ing a few drops of water and add 1-2 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid. Keep the test tube in a beaker of water on the steam bath for 30-40 minutes. If any fluorin be present, the silicon fluorid generated will be decomposed by the water in the U-tube and will form a gelatinous deposit on the walls of the tube. Next test the filtrate as directed under 14. If both hydrofluoric and boric acids be present, it is probable that they are combined as borofluorid. If, however, silicon fluorid is detected and not boric acid, the operation should be repeated with- out the introduction of the silica, in which case the formation of the silicon skeleton is conclusive evidence of the presence of fluosilicate. In an ash containing an ap- preciable amount of silica, sulphuric acid will liberate silicon fluorid rather than hydrofluoric acid. The presence of a fluosilicate is indicated, therefore, and not the presence of a fluorid. 28 Method II. Incinerate the filter, from 26, containing the insoluble portion, in a platinum crucible, mix with a little precipitated silica, and add 1 cc. of concentrated sul- phuric acid. Cover the crucible with a watch glass, from the underside of which a drop of water is suspended, and heat for an hour at 70°-80°C., keeping the watch glass cooled. The silicon fluorid which is formed is decomposed by the water, leav- ing a gelatinous deposit of silica and etching a ring at the periphery of the drop of water. Test the filtrate for boric acid as directed under 14. SULPHUROUS ACID. 29 Qualitative Test. Add some sulphur-free zinc, and several cc. of hydrochloric acid to about 25 grams of the sample (with the addition of water, if necessary) in a 200 cc. Erlen- meyer flask. In the presence of sulphites, hydrogen sulphid will be generated and may be detected with lead acetate paper. Traces of metallic sulphids are occasionally present in vegetables, and will give the same reaction as sulphites under the conditions of the above test. Positive results obtained by this method should be verified by the distillation method under 30. It is always advisable to make the quantitative determination of sulphites, owing to the danger that the test may be due to traces of sulphids. A trace is not to be considered sufficient indication of the presence of sulphur dioxid either as a bleaching agent or as a preservative. TOTAL SULPHUROUS ACID. 30 Method I.—Distillation Method. Distil 20-100 grams of the sample (adding recently boiled water if necessary) in a current of carbon dioxid, after the addition of about 5 cc. of a 20% glacial phos- X] FOOD PRESERVATIVES 151 phoric acid solution, until 150 cc. have passed over. Collect the distillate in about 100 cc. of nearly saturated bromin water, allowing the end of the condenser to dip below the surface. The method and apparatus may be simplified without material loss in accuracy by omitting the current of carbon dioxid, adding 10 cc. of phosphoric acid instead of 5 cc., and dropping into the distillation flask, immediately before attaching the condenser, a piece of sodium bicarbonate weighing not more than 1 gram. The carbon dioxid liberated is not sufficient to expel the air entirely from the apparatus, but will prevent oxidation to a large extent. When the distillation is finished, boil off the excess of bromin, dilute the solution to about 250 ec., add 5 ec. of hydrochloric acid (1 to 3), heat to boiling, and precipitate the sulphuric acid with 10% barium chlorid solution. Boil for a few minutes longer, allow to stand overnight in a warm place, filter on a weighed Gooch, wash with hot water, ignite at a dull red heat, and weigh as barium sulphate. 31 Method II.—Direct Titration Method. In the examination of wine, fairly accurate results may be obtained by the fol- lowing method: Place 25 cc. of 5.6% potassium hydroxid solution in a 200 cc. flask. Introduce 50 cc. of the sample, mix with the potassium hydroxid solution, and allow the mix- ture to stand for 15 minutes with occasional agitation. Add 10 cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to 3) and a few ce. of starch solution, and titrate the mixture with N/50 iodin solu- tion. Introduce the iodin solution as rapidly as possible and continue the addition until the blue color persists for several minutes. One cc. of N/50 iodin is equiva- lent to 0.00064 gram of sulphur dioxid. DETERMINATION OF FREE SULPHUROUS ACID. 32 (Especially Adapted to Wine.) Treat 50 cc. of the sample in a 200 cc. flask with about 5 cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to 3) add about 0.5 gram of sodium carbonate to expel the air, and titrate the sul- phurous acid with N/50 iodin, as directed under 31. BETA-NAPHTHOL. 33 Qualitative Test. Extract 200 cc. of the sample, or of its aqueous extract, prepared as directed under 1 (C), with 10 cc. of chloroform in a separatory funnel. To the chloroform extract in a test tube add a few drops of alcoholic potash, and place in a boiling water bath for 2 minutes. The presence of beta-napthol is indicated by the forma- tion of a deep blue color, which changes to green and then to yellow. ABRASTOL. QUALITATIVE TESTS. 34 Sinibaldi Method.? - Make 50 cc. of the sample alkaline with a few drops of ammonium hydroxid and extract with 10 cc. of amyl alcohol, adding ethyl alcohol if an emulsion is formed. Decant the amy! alcohol, filter if turbid, and evaporate to dryness. Add to the residue 2 cc. of nitric acid (1 to 1), heat on the water bath until half of the liquid is evaporated, and transfer to a test tube with the addition of 1 cc. of water. Add about 0.2 gram of ferrous sulphate and an excess of ammonium hydroxid, drop by 152 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. drop, with constant shaking. If the resultant precipitate is of a reddish color, dissolve it in a few drops of sulphuric acid, and add ferrous sulphate and ammonium hydroxid as before. As soon as a dark colored or greenish precipitate is obtained, introduce 5 ce. of alcohol, dissolve the precipitate in sulphuric acid, shake well and filter. In the absence of abrastol this method gives a colorless or light yellow liquid, while a red color is produced in the presence of 0.01 gram of abrastol. 35 Sanglé-Ferritre Method." Boil 200 cc. of the sample with 8 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid for an hour in a flask fitted with a reflux condenser. Abrastol is thus converted into beta- naphthol and is detected as directed under 33. SUCROL OR DULCIN. QUALITATIVE TESTS. 36 Morpurgo Method.4 Evaporate about 100 cc: of the sample, or of the aqueous extract prepared as directed under 1 (C) and neutralized with acetic acid, to a sirupy consistency after the addition of about 5 grams of lead carbonate, and extract the residue several times with 90% alcohol. Evaporate the alcoholic extract to dryness, extract the residue with ether, and allow the ether to evaporate spontaneously in a porcelain dish. Add 2 or 3 drops each of phenol and concentrated sulphuric acid and heat for about 5 minutes on the water bath, cool, transfer to a test tube and overlay with ammonium hydroxid or sodium hydroxid solution with the least possible mixing. The presence of dulcin is indicated by the formation of a blue color at the zone of contact. 37 Jorissen Method.' Suspend the residue from the ether extract obtained as directed above in about 5 ce. of water; add 2-4 cc. of an approximately 10% solution of mercuric nitrate, and heat for 5-10 minutes on the water bath. In the presence of sucrol a violet blue color is formed, which is changed to a deep violet on the addition of lead peroxid. FORMIC ACID. Quantitative Method. 38 REAGENTS. (a) Sodium acetate solution.—Dissolve 50 grams of dry sodium acetate in suffi- cient water to make 100 ce. and filter. (b) Mercurie chlorid reagent.—Dissolve 100 grams of mercuric chlorid and 150 grams of sodium chlorid in sufficient water to make 1 liter and filter. (C) Tartaric acid. (d) Barium carbonate. J 39 APPARATUS. The apparatus required (Fig. 6) consists of a steam generator (S), a 300 ce. flask (A) in which the sample is placed, a 500 ce. flask (8), containing a suspension of bari- um carbonate, a spray trap (7'), a condenser, and a 1 liter graduated flask (C). The tip of the tube (D), leading into (B), consists of a bulb containing a number of small holes to break the vapor into small bubbles. X] FOOD PRESERVATIVES 153 FIG. 6. APPARATUS FOR DETECTION OF FORMIC ACID. 40 DETERMINATION. For thin liquids like fruit juices, use 50 cc. For heavy liquids and semi-solids like sirups and jams, use 50 grams diluted with 50 cc. of water. Place the sam- ple in the flask (A), add 1 gram of tartaric acid, and connect as shown in Fig. 6, the flask (B) having been charged previously with a suspension of 2 grams of barium carbonate in 100 cc. of water. If much acetic acid is present, sufficient barium carbonate must be used so that at least 1 gram remains at the end of the operation. Heat the contents of flasks (A) and (B) to boiling and distil with steam from the generator (S), the vapor passing first through the sample in flask (A), then through the boiling suspension of barium carbonate in (B), after which it is condensed, and measured in the graduated flask (C). Continue the distillation until 1 liter of dis- tillate is collected, maintaining the volume of the liquids in the flasks (A) and (B) as nearly constant as possible by heating with small Bunsen flames, and avoid- ing charring of the sample in the flask (A). After 1 liter of distillate has been col- lected, disconnect the apparatus and filter the contents of flask (B) while hot, wash- ing the barium carbonate with a little hot water. The filtrate and washings should now measure about 150 cc. If not they should be boiled down to that volume. Then add 10 cc. of the sodium acetate, 2 cc. of 10% hydrochloric acid, and 25 cc. of the mercuric chlorid reagent. Mix thoroughly and immerse the container in a boil- ing water bath or steam bath for 2 hours. Then filter on a tared Gooch, wash the precipitate thoroughly with cold water and finally witha little alcohol. Dry in a boiling water oven for 30 minutes, cool, weigh, and calculate the weight of formic acid present by multiplying the weight of the precipitate by 0.0975. If the weight of mercurous chlorid obtained exceeds 1.5 grams, the determination must be re- peated, using more mercuric chlorid reagent or a smaller amount of sample. A blank 154 METHODS OF ANALYSIS test should be conducted with each new lot of reagents employed in the reduction, using 150 cc. of water, 1 cc. of 10% barium chlorid solution, 2 cc. of 10% hydrochloric acid, 10 cc. of the sodium acetate, and 25 cc. of the mercuric chlorid reagent, heat- ing the mixture in a boiling water bath or steam bath for 2 hours. The weight of mercurous chlorid obtained in this blank test must be deducted from that obtained in the regular determination. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1 J. Ind. Eng. Chem., 1910, 2: 24. 2Z. Nahr.

COLORING MATTERS IN FOODS.—TENTATIVE. (An italicized number, following immediately the name of a dye, is the number by which that dye is designated in ‘‘A Systematic Survey of the Organic Colouring Matters’’, 1904, by Arthur Green, based on the German of Schultz and Julius.) 1 PIGMENTS. The insoluble pigments, ultramarine, lampblack, etc., are most commonly used as facings and may be separated by washing the sample with water and allowing the washings to settle. The particles of coloring matter can be identified by micro- scopic examination and by treatment of the residue or purified coloring matter with chemical reagents. A large proportion of the common pigments other than lakes, such as the yellow, brown and red ochres and umbers, are derivatives of the heavy metals and contain iron, manganese, etc. Others, such as various green and blue compounds, including the green chlorophyll derivatives, contain copper. These pigments may be identified by the usual tests for the respective metals. The analytical properties of the insoluble coloring matters are described in various standard works, some of which are listed in the bibliography, especially ‘‘Farb- stofftabellen by Schultz!.”’ SOLUBLE COLORING MATTERS AND THEIR LAKES. COAL TAR DYES. 2 Wool dyeing test?. (a) Wines, fruit juices, distilled liquors, flavoring extracts, vinegars, beers, sirups, non-alcoholic beverages and similar products.—Dilute 20-200 cc. of the sample with 1-3 volumes of water and boil or heat on the steam bath with a small piece of white woolen cloth (nun’s veiling). When the mixture contains much alcohol, heat until most of the alcohol has been removed; in other cases, take out the wool after 5-15 minutes and rinse with water. Then treat the liquid with 3 or 4 drops of con- centrated hydrochloric acid for each 100 cc. and warm again for 10-20 minutes with a clean piece of wool. The basic dyes go on the fiber best from neutral or faintly ammoniacal solutions and, if present, will appear on the first piece of wool. Acid colors dye from neutral solutions but more readily from those containing free acid. If the wool takes up any considerable amount of coloring matter in either case, the presence of coal tar dyes isindicated. The lichen colors? (Archil, Cudbear, Litmus) go readily on wool, however, and many other natural colors, such as Turmeric, will dye the fiber, if present in considerable amount. On the other hand, a few coal tar dyes, especially Auramine O and Naphthol Green B, are quite unstable and, if present in small amounts, may give no distinct dyeing. Acid dyes are much more frequently used than basic dyes and in most cases may be removed from wool with- out much decomposition by “‘stripping’”’ the latter with dilute ammonia‘. By the action of the alkali, many natural colors are destroyed, while others remain for the most part on the fiber. If the behavior with wool in neutral and acid solutions indicates the presence of acid dyes, rinse the colored cloth thoroughly with water, cover with 2% ammonium hydroxid solution in a casserole, boil for a few minutes, remove the cloth and squeeze out the adhering liquid. Boil the ammoniacal solu- 155 156 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. tion to remove the excess of ammonia, drop in a piece of clean, wet wool, make dis- tinctly but not strongly acid with hydrochloric acid and boil again. If acid coal tar dyes are present, they will usually give a fairly clean, bright dyeing on the second piece of wool. A further purification may be carried out by repeating the stripping and re-dyeing, though generally accompanied by corresponding loss of dye. (b) Candies and similar colored sugar products.—Dissolve about 20 grams of the sample in 100 cc. of water and treat the solution as directed under (a). When the coloring matter is on the surface of the candy, pour off the solution before the color- less inner portion has dissolved. (Cc) Jams and jellies.—Boil a mixture of 10-20 grams of the sample and 100 cc. of water with wool in neutral and also in acid solution as directed under (a). For thick jams it is usually better, though less easy, first to extract the coloring sub- stances by treating the product as directed under (d). (d) Canned and preserved fruits and vegetables, sausage casings, smoked fish, coffee, spices, etc.—Macerate 20-200 grams of the sample with 4-5 times its weight of 80% alcohol. After standing a few hours pour off the solvent as completely as possible and repeat the extraction, using 70% alcohol containing about 1% of ammonia. (1) Examine separately the filtered alcoholic extracts as directed under (€); or, (2) Boil the ammoniacal solution until practically neutral, complete the neutralization with acetic acid. add the neutral 80% alcohol extract, continue the evaporation until most of the alcohol is removed, and boil with wool as directed under (@). (@) Cocoa and chocolate products —Treat cocoa as directed under (d). The alco- holic extract will contain a large amount of natural coloring matter and several dyeings and strippings may be necessary to get rid of this in order to show the pres- ence of coal tar dyes. Chocolate may be treated similarly but the following procedure is preferable: Wash 20-200 grams of the well divided sample with gasoline on a filter until most of the fat has been removed; if the gasoline is colored, reserve for the examination of oil-soluble dyes as directed under 3. Remove most of the adherent solvent from the residue by evaporation or pressure between layers of absorbent paper and digest with alcohol as directed under (d). Coal tar dyes may also be detected in chocolate and cocoa products by mixing directly with 3-4 times their weight of hot water and immediately boiling the magma with wool, as directed under (a). Because of the presence of large amounts of fatty and protein materials, this method is not very satisfactory. (f) Cereal products.—Proceed as directed under (d), in most cases working with a large amount of the sample, 200-500 grams, and a relatively smaller amount of alcohol. Where tests are to be made only for the acid dyes, the extraction with neutral 80% alcohol may be omitted advantageously. 3 OIL-SOLUBLE DYES’. Prepare an alcoholic solution of the oil-soluble dye by one of the following methods which are to be applied to the oil or fat obtained by extraction with ether or gasoline if the nature of the substance requires it: (a) Shake the oil or melted fat with an equal volume of 90% alcohol. The alcohol after separation will contain Aniline Yellow, Butter Yellow, Aminoazotoluene and Auramine, if present. (b) Saponify 20-200 grams of the oil or fat with alcoholic potash and, after re- moval of most of the aleohol on the steam bath, extract the soap with ether or gaso- line. Most of the common dyes are removed by this treatment, though the digestion with strong alkali may cause some decomposition and make the extraction rather troublesome. XI] COLORING MATTERS IN FOODS 157 (C) Dilute 20-200 grams of the oil or melted fat with 1-2 volumes of gasoline and shake out successively with 2-4% potassium or sodium hydroxid solution, 12-15% hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric-sulphuric acid mixture, prepared by mixing 85% phosphoric acid with about 10-20% by volume of concentrated sulphuric acid. The dilute alkali extracts Sudan G and Annatto. The dilute hydrochloric acid extracts Aniline Yellow (7), Aminoazotoluene, and Butter Yellow (16), the first 2 forming orange-red, the latter cherry-red solutions in this solvent. Benzeneazo- beta-naphthylamin and homologues also come in this group, though they are not extracted very readily and decompose rapidly on standing in strongly acid solution. The phosphoric acid mixture is necessary for the extraction of Sudan I (1/1), Sudan II (49), Sudan III (143), and the homologue of the last, Sudan IV. The procedure is not very suitable in the presence of Auramine but this dye is seldom found in oils. Neutralize the alkaline and dilute hydrochloric acid solutions; dilute the phosphoric acid mixture and partially neutralize, cooling the liquid during this operation; and extract the dyes by shaking with ether or gasoline. For the direct dyeing test use the alcoholic solution, obtained as directed in (a). Evaporate to dryness the ether or gasoline solutions, obtained as directed in (Db) and (C), and dissolve the residue in 10-20 ce. of strong alcohol. To the alcoholic solution add some strands of white silk and alittle water and evaporate on the steam bath until the aleohol has been removed or until the dye is taken up by the silk. The dyeing test is sometimes unsatisfactory and in all cases a small portion of the alcoholic solu- tion should be tested by treating with an equal volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid and stannous chlorid solution. The common oil-soluble coal tar dyes are ren- dered more red or blue by the acid and are decolorized by the reducing agent. Most of the natural coloring matters become slightly paler with the acid and are little changed by the stannous chlorid solution. SEPARATION OF COLORING MATTERS IN PURE CONDITION BY MEANS OF IMMISCIBLE SOLVENTS'®. 4 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE. (A) Water-soluble colors.—Proceed as directed under 2, omitting the fixation of the color on wool, and obtain an aqueous solution as free as practicable from sus- pended matter, alcohol, acids, alkalies and salts. (b) Water-insoluble lakes.—If the sample is in solid form, treat the well divided material with sufficient water to form a paste. Liquids require no preparation except the removal of alcohol when present. 5 MIXTURES OF ORANGE I, ERYTHROSINE, INDIGO CARMINE, AMARANTH, TARTRAZINE, NAPHTHOL YELLOW S, PONCEAU 3R AND LIGHT GREEN S F YELLOWISH. The use of immiscible solvents for the separation of mixtures of coloring matters usually involves a systematic fractionation since many of the dyes used do not differ very greatly in their solubilities in the various solvents. When it seems probable that only the 8 coal tar dyes permitted under the Federal Food and Drugs Act? are present, the following abridged procedure may be used for their separation. For this procedure the concentration of the dye solution should lie preferably between 0.01-0.05%. The solutions obtained in the examination of colored food products practically never require further dilution but with commercial food colors care must be taken that the concentration is not too high. Treat the sample, prepared as directed in 4, with one half its volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid and extract a few times with amyl alcohol. The use of the centrifuge is sometimes necessary 158 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. to separate the layers. Designate the residual aqueous layer as A. Combine the amyl alcohol extracts and wash with 4-5 portions of N/4 hydrochloric acid or until this solvent extracts very little color. These washings will contain any Indigo Carmine, Amaranth and Tartrazine present, the Indigo Carmine being removed in somewhat larger proportion in the first washings than the other 2. With ordinary concentration very little Ponceau will be removed. Designate these combined washings as B. 6 ORANGE I AND ERYTHROSINE. Measure, if necessary, the amyl alcohol extract, under 5, then (1) Dilute with an equal volume of petroleum ether or low boiling gasoline, and again wash several times with N/4 hydrochloric acid to extract Ponceau 3R and Naphthol Yellow S; or, (2) Without dilution with gasoline, wash with 5% salt solution until these 2 dyes are extracted. Designate these washings as C. The Ponceau and Yellow having been removed, the amy] alcohol, containing an equal volume of gasoline, is washed a few times with water which will extract Orange I. This dye having been removed, shake the solution, although the latter may appear almost colorless, with very dilute sodium hydroxid solution to remove Erythrosine. If considerable Orange I is present, some of it may contaminate the washings containing the Ponceau 3R and Naphthol Yellow S, especially when these have been separated by means of N/4 hydrochloric acid after the addition of gasoline. Te INDIGO CARMINE, AMARANTH AND TARTRAZINE. The presence of 2 or all 3 of these dyes is usually indicated by the appearance of the N/4 hydrochloric acid washings, B, under 5. Evaporate the combined N/4 hydrochloric acid washings to dryness to remove the excess of hydrochloric acid and dissolved amyl alcohol. Dissolve the residue in water, divide the solution and iden- tify the constituent colors in the portions. To a portion of the slightly acidified solution add a few decigrams of urea, warm and add 1 or 2 drops of sodium nitrite solution. Indigo Carmine is converted into the pale yellow isatin sulphonate while the other dyes are but little affected. The isatin compound is not ordinarily present in sufficient concentration to tint the solution but it differs from Tartrazine also in being much less readily extracted by amyl alcohol from strong acid solutions (less than one half from 4N acid). The solution now contains the Amaranth or Tar- trazine, or both, practically unaffected. Amaranth is much more quickly attacked by most reducing agents than Tartrazine. Treat the solution, which should be neu- tral or faintly acid (in the presence of sodium carbonate the reduction of the tar- trazine takes place still more slowly), at room temperature with a dilute solution of sodium hyposulphite (Na2S.0,), adding the latter very carefully, drop by drop, and allowing sufficient time after the addition of each drop for the reduction to take place. When the color shows that the Amaranth has been destroyed completely, shake the mixture at once with air to oxidize the slight excess of hyposulphite before it can react further on the Tartrazine. To separate the Indigo Carmine heat to boiling another portion of the solution, which should be neutral or faintly acid, and add dilute sodium hyposulphite solution, drop by drop, until all the dyes are reduced. On shaking with air the Indigo Carmine is quickly re-formed. 8 NAPHTHOL YELLOW S AND PONCEAU 3R. Treat the N/4 acid solution or the salt solution, C, under 6, as the case may be, containing the Ponceau and Naphthol Yellow §, with enough hydrochloric acid to make it about 2N and shake out a few times with washed ethyl acetate’. Remove XI] COLORING MATTERS IN FOODS 159 the Yellow from the combined ethyl acetate extracts by shaking with water. Naph- thol Yellow S is almost colorless in strongly acid solutions, and its absence in wash- ings, etc., must never be assumed until these have been made alkaline. Finally separate the Ponceau 3R from the acid solution by shaking with amyl alcohol, and then wash out the dye from this extract with a few small portions of water. If, in the case of mixtures containing Orange I, the washings of the ethyl acetate, which should contain only Naphthol Yellow 8, become more red upon the addition of al- kalies, combine, then (1) Make N/4 with hydrochloric acid and remove the contami- nating Orange by shaking with amyl alcohol-gasoline mixture (1 to 1); or, (2) Treat the combined washings with one fifth their volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid, extract the dyes by shaking once with amyl alcohol, and remove the Yellow by washing with several portions of 5% salt solution. , 9 LIGHT GREEN S F YELLOWISH. The original mixture, A, under 5, from which the above mentioned 7 colors have been removed by adding acid and shaking out with amyl alcohol, may still contain Light Green S F Yellowish, which will be colorless or nearly so in the acid solution. To separate this dye treat the mixture with strong ammonia or potassium hydrox- id solution until slightly alkaline, and neutralize with acetic acid. Any Green present will now be apparent by the color of the mixture. Extract the color by shaking with a few small portions of dichlorhydrin. Wash the dichlorhydrin extract with a little water, then dilute with several volumes of benzene or carbon tetra- chlorid, and remove the dye by shaking with water. When coal tar dyes other than the 8 mentioned above are present, the solutions obtained in this procedure will be found to contain a coloring matter which does not correspond exactly in properties to one of the dyes named above. When coal tar dyes other than these 8 are present, reference should be made to the larger works?. COAL TAR DYES IN GENERAL. 10 BASIC DYES. Most basic dyes may be separated from mixtures by making alkaline with sodium hydroxid and shaking with ether!°. Use the sample, prepared as in 4, for this pur- pose. Separate the ether layer, which may or may not be colored, and shake with 2-5% acetic acid, which will take up any dye present, forming a colored solution. Although the common basic colors undergo some alteration by this treatment, it may be used for the qualitative detection and separation of Methy] Violet B (451), Magenta (448), Bismarck Brown (197), Malachite Green (427), and Rhodamine B (504). With care Auramine (425) may also be separated in this way though it is quickly decomposed on standing in alkaline solution. 11 ACID DYES. The following short procedure is often convenient for the examination of mixtures of acid dyes: Make the sample, prepared as in 4, the color concentration of which does not vary greatly from 0.01-0.05%, strongly acid by adding one half its volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid and shake with amyl alcohol. Separate the amyl alcohol solution and wash by shaking with successive portions of one half its volume of water, reserving the portions in separate test tubes or beakers. Because of the acid dissolved in the amyl alcohol these washings will show a regular decrease in acidity and the coloring matters will appear in maximum amount in the different fractions according to their respective solubilities. Ponceau 6R (108) is washed out chiefly while the acidity is still high, N/1 or above. Amaranth (107), Brilliant 160 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Scarlet (106) and Tartrazine (94) appear when the washings have an acidity between N/1 and N/4; Orange G (14) and Soluble Blue (480) between N/2 and N/16; Palatine Scarlet (63), Ponceau 2R (44) and 3R (56), Naphthol Yellow S (4), Cochineal (706), Crystal Ponceau (64) and Azorubine A (103) between N/16 and N/256. When the acid is practically all removed, Orange I (85), Orange II (86) and Croceine Orange (13) begin to wash out, and less readily, Orange IV (88) and Metanil Yellow (95). Finally the unsulphonated coloring matters, such as Erythrosine G (616), Erythrosine (517) and the Rose Bengals (520 and 823) are removed very slowly by water or not at all when all traces of acid have been removed. Acid Yellow (8) and Brilliant Yellow S (89) are not very uniform in composition. They are partially taken up by amyl alcohol from acid solution and appear chiefly in the first washings. Indigo Carmine (692) behaves somewhat similarly. IDENTIFICATION OF THE COAL TAR DYES!2, i(e GENERAL. The most widely used tests for the identification of coal tar dyes refer to the changes produced with acids and alkalies. Other tests, based upon the behavior with reducing agents, followed perhaps by treatment with oxidants or by separation and identification of the reduction products", and tests based upon oxidation of the dye and treatment of the oxidation products are generally applicable. Spectro- scopic methods are also used". 13 COLOR CHANGES PRODUCED WITH ACIDS AND ALKALIES. Transfer the separated coloring matter to wool (or silk in the case of oil-soluble dyes) by boiling as directed in2 (a) or 3. Care should be taken that the final dyeing is made in a solution fairly free from foreign matter such as sugar or aromatic sub- stances, which, adhering to the fiber, may modify the reaction. In most cases the amount of color available is small and should not be dyed on too large a piece of wool (or silk). Rinse thoroughly the dyed fibre in running water, dry, cut into small pieces and place separately in the depressions of a white porcelain spot plate. Moisten the pieces with the respective reagents employed. (For many coloring matters the hue upon treatment with acids or alkalies varies markedly with the concentration of the reagents and amount of dye present; therefore the unknown dye should be compared with dyeings of known colors of approximately the same dye concentration as shown by this appearance.) The table under 14 shows the color changes produced by concentrated hydro- chloric and sulphuric acids, 10% sodium hydroxid and 12% ammonium hydroxid solutions on wool dyed with 0.1-0.5% of the respective coloring matters. Included also are the reactions of the oil-soluble colors but these refer to dyeings on silk. The dyes are arranged approximately according to hue.

SPECIAL TESTS FOR COAL TAR DYES PERMITTED’ UNDER THE FEDERAL The dyes, given in 9, are sufficiently characterized in most cases by the solubilities shown in their separation and by the color changes given by acids and alkalies on the dyed fiber. This is especially true with Amaranth, Tartrazine, and Orange I. By treatment with reducing agents such as stannous chlorid, titanous chlorid, zine dust or sodium hyposulphite in acid solution, Indigo Carmine, Amaranth, Tartra- zine, Ponceau 3R and Orange I are decolorized. With Indigo Carmine the color returns on shaking with air, most readily on warming, or on the addition of oxidiz- ing agents such as ferric chlorid or potassium persulphate. Excess of the reducing agents must of course be avoided. With the last 4 named dyes the color is not re- stored. Dilute solutions of Light Green S F Yellowish, Naphthol Yellow S and XI] COLORING MATTERS IN FOODS 163 Erythrosine become paler or colorless with acids so that the effects of acid reducing agents are not so readily apparent. Neutral solutions of Naphthol Yellow S are decolorized by sodium hyposulphite and other reducing agents, the color not return- ing with air or oxidants. An evanescent deepening of the shade may take place immediately upon the addition of the hyposulphite. Erythrosine and Light Green S F Yellowish become paler with sodium hyposulphite, the color being partially restored upon the addition of potassium persulphate. In hot solutions containing an excess of sodium tartrate the dyes named are readily decolorized by titanium trichlorid!®’. In the case of Indigo Carmine if the reducing agent has been added carefully and an excess avoided, the blue color readily returns on shaking with air. With Erythrosine and Light Green S F Yel- lowish the color is scarcely restored by air but on cooling and adding potassium persulphate returns imperfectly. The reduction products of the other dyes do not give colored solutions again on oxidation disregarding a slight yellowish or brownish tint that may sometimes appear. Indigo Carmine is extracted in small proportions from slightly acid solutions by shaking with dichlorhydrin. Most of the other common bluish dyes are triphenyl- methane derivatives and are relatively more soluble in this liquid than in the aque- ous layer. A small portion (1 cc.) of the solution obtained in the separation, 5, may be used directly. Ponceau 3R gives in neutral or faintly acid solutions a bluish red, flocculent pre- cipitate with barium chlorid or acetate, practically all of the dye being removed from solution. Some of the solution obtained in the separation, 5, may be used in this test, first neutralizing the free hydrochloric acid with sodium acetate; or better, it may be evaporated to dryness on the steam bath to remove the acid and the residue taken up with a little water. The solution should contain 0.005% or more of the dye. Naphthol Yellow S, in solutions containing an excess of ammonia or sodium car- bonate, becomes intensely rose-red on the addition of sodium hyposulphite, the color gradually fading again as complete reduction takes place. Hrythrosine differs from most of the common dyes by containing iodin. To test for this, acidify the solution with sulphuric acid, shake with ether, separate the ether solution of the color and evaporate to dryness in a platinum dish after the addition of a few drops of sodium carbonate solution or sufficient to form the deep red sodium salt. Hold the dish containing the residue in the Bunsen flame until organic matter is destroyed, take up the residue with water, acidify with sulphuric acid and test for iodin in one of the usual ways, suchas with chlorin water and carbon disulphid or tetrachlorid, or with starch paste and an oxidizing agent. It is useless to test for iodin with very small amounts of dye but in most cases sufficient coloring matter can be separated from the food product to give satisfactory results. 16 NATURAL COLORING MATTERS. The natural coloring matters as a class show much less tendency to dye animal fiber than do the common synthetic colors. In many cases the crude products used contain a number of colored substances and a complete separation can scarcely be attempted. Most of the natural coloring matters, in dilute solution, are sensitive to alkalies, some to acids, hence such reagents must be used with care. 164 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. SEPARATION OF NATURAL COLORING MATTERS. 17 Extraction with Ether from Neutral Solutions. From neutral solutions ether extracts Carotin, Xanthophyll (the pigment found in leaves, fats and oils, egg yolk, carrots, etc.), the coloring matter of tomatoes and paprika and green Chlorophyll. The coloring matter remains in the ether solution on shaking with dilute sodium hydroxid solution or dilute hydrochloric acid, no apparent change taking place although chemically the substances may be altered more or less by this treatment. 18 Extraction with Ether from Acid Solutions, From slightly acid solutions ether extracts very readily and completely the coloring matter of Alkanet, Annatto, Turmeric, and the red dyewoods, Sandalwood, Camwood and Barwood. It extracts in large proportion the flavone coloring matters of Fustic, Persian Berries (after hydrolysis), and Quercitron as well as the coloring matter of Brazilwood and the green derivatives formed from Chlorophyll by alkaline treatment. It extracts in relatively small amount the coloring matters of Logwood, Archil, Saffron and Cochineal. The coloring matters of this group are readily re- moved from ether by shaking with alkaline solutions but in most cases rapidly undergo chemical change. 19 Extraction with Amyl Alcohol from Acid Solutions. From slightly acid solutions amyl alcohol extracts largely the coloring matters of Logwood, Archil, Saffron and Cochineal. [From ammoniacal Cochineal (Carmine) the ordinary coloring matter is readily re-formed upon standing with hydrochloric acid.] Amyl alcohol extracts in relatively small proportions Caramel and the Antho- cyans constituting the red coloring matter of the most common fruits. IDENTIFICATION OF NATURAL COLORING MATTERS. 20 REAGENTS. (a) Hydrochloric acid.—Sp. gr. 1.20. (b) 10% sodium or potassium hydroxid solution. (C) Sodium hyposulphite solution.—A freshly prepared 5% solution of ‘“‘Blankite’’, sodium hyposulphite (NazS20x). (Gd) 0.5% ferric chlorid solution.—Freshly prepared but may be made by diluting a 10% stock solution. (€) 10% potassium or ammonium alum solution. (f) 5% uranium or sodium uranium acetate solution (2) Sulphuric acid.—Sp. gr. 1.84. 21 PROCEDURE. Relatively few good tests are known for the common natural colors. Some of their most useful analytical properties!” are tabulated in 22. In general these tests should be applied to the somewhat purified solutions of the coloring matter obtained as indicated in 17, 18 or 19. Evaporate ether solutions to dryness, warm the residue with a little alcohol and dilute the alcoholic solution with water. Apply the reagents as stated below: XI] f COLORING MATTERS IN FOODS 165 Hydrochloric acid.—Add concentrated acid (sp. gr. 1.20) to the solution, first 1 or 2 drops, then a large excess, equal to 3-4 times the volume of the solution. Sodium hydroxid (potassium hydroxid).—Make the solution slightly alkaline by adding a drop of the 10% sodium hydroxid solution. A 10% solution of potassium hydroxid in methyl alcohol must be used for the ‘‘brown phase reaction”’ for chloro- phyll, described in 23, and may also be employed for the other tests. Sodium hyposulphite—Add the sodium hyposulphite solution drop by drop. Ferric chlorid.—Add a small amount of the 0.5% ferric chlorid solution to the solution to be tested. The reagent must be added very carefully, a small drop at a time, as the colorations are not obtained in all cases when an excess is used. Alum.—Add to the test solution one fifth its volume of the 10% potassium or ammonium alum solution. Uranium acetate.—Add the 5% uranium acetate solution drop by drop to the solu- tion to be tested. Concentrated sulphuric acid on the dry color.—Evaporate a small amount of the solution or of the coloring matter in a porcelain dish. Cool thoroughly and treat the dry residue with 1 or 2 drops of cold, concentrated sulphuric acid. The color- ations are in some cases extremely fugitive and may be observed only the instant the acid wets the residue. The properties of pure preparations of the various natural coloring matters are described, for the most part, by Rupe!8. Properties of the Chlorophylls and Carotinoids are given by Willstatter and Stoll’. Those of the coloring matters of the Corn Flower, Rose, Pelargona Flower, Larkspur, Cranberry, Whortleberry and Purple Grape are described by Willstatter?°. [ Chap.

SPECIAL TESTS FOR NATURAL COLORING MATTERS. 23 CHLOROPHYLL. The ‘‘brown phase reaction’?! may be useful for the characterization of Chloro- phyll, when this has not been previously treated with alkalies. Treat the green ether or petroleum ether solution of the coloring matter with a small amount of 10% solution of potassium hydroxid in methyl alcohol. The color becomes brown, returning to green in a few minutes. ANNATTO. 24 Leach Test??. Pour on a moistened filter an alkaline solution of the color obtained by shaking out the oil or melted and filtered fat with warm, dilute sodium hydroxid solution. If Annatto is present, the filter paper will absorb the color so that, when washed with a gentle stream of water, it will remain dyed a straw color. Dry the filter and add a drop of stannous chlorid solution. If the color turns pink the presence of Annatto is confirmed. 25 TURMERIC. Carry out the highly characteristic reaction of Curcumine (Turmeric) with boric acid as follows: Treat the aqueous or dilute alcoholic solution of the color with hydrochloric acid until the shade just begins to appear slightly orange. Divide the mixture into 2 parts and add some boric acid powder or crystals to 1 portion. A marked reddening will be quickly apparent, best seen by comparison with the portion to which the boric acid has not been added. The test may also be made by dipping a piece of filter paper in the alcoholic solution of the coloring matter, drying at 100°C., then moistening with a weak solution of boric acid to which a few drops of hydrochloric acid have been added. On drying again a cherry-red color will be developed. 26 COCHINEAL. When the presence of Cochineal is suspected, acidify the mixture with one third its volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid and shake with amyl alcohol. Wash the amyl alcohol solution of the coloring matter 2-4 times with equal volumes of water to remove hydrochloric acid, etc. Dilute the amyl alcohol with I—-2 volumes of gasoline and shake with a few small portions of water to remove the color. Sepa- rate the solution into 2 portions. To the first add, drop by drop, 5% uranium ace- tate solution, shaking thoroughly after each addition. In the presence of cochineal a characteristic emerald-green color is produced”. The green coloration with uranium salts is not developed in the presence of much free acid. Therefore add a little sodium acetate before making this test or a correspondingly large amount of uranium acetate must be added. To the second portion add a drop or so of ammon- ium hydroxid, and, in the presence of Cochineal, a violet coloration results. This, however, is not so sensitive to small amounts as the first test and many fruit colors give tests hardly to be distinguished. As cochineal lakes very often contain tin, further examination for this metal should always be made when water-insoluble cochineal compounds appear to be present.

(a) Nitric and sulphuric acids, arsenic-free.—Specific gravities 1.42 and 1.84, respectively. (b) Sulphuric acid (1 to 2). (C) Zinc, arsenic-free.—Stick zine broken into pieces approximately 1 cm. in length. (d) Lead acetate paper.—Heavy filter paper soaked in 20% lead acetate solution, dried and cut into pieces about 4.5 by 16 cm. (e) Lead acetate cotton.—Absorbent cotton soaked in 5% lead acetate solution. (f) Mercuric bromid paper.—Cut heavy, close-textured drafting paper (similar to Whatman’s cold pressed) into strips exactly 2.5 mm. wide and about 12 em. long. Soak for an hour in a 5% solution of mercuric bromid in 95% alcohol, squeeze out the excess of solution and dry on glass rods. Cut off the ends of the strips before using. (2) 20% potassium todid solution. (h) Stannous chlorid solution.—Forty grams of stannous chlorid crystals made up to 100 cc. with concentrated hydrochloric acid. (i) Standard arsenic solution.—Dissolve 1 gram of arsenious oxid in 25 ce. of 20% sodium hydroxid solution, neutralize with dilute sulphuric acid, add 10 cc. of the concentrated sulphuric acid and dilute to 1 liter with recently boiled water. One ec. of this solution contains 1 mg. of arsenious oxid (As2Q3). Dilute 20 ce. of this solution to 1 liter. Fifty cc. of the latter solution when diluted to 1 liter give a dilute standard solution containing 0.001 mg. of arsenious oxid (As,O3) per cc. which is used to prepare the standard stains. The dilute solu- tions must be freshly prepared immediately before use. 2 APPARATUS. Use a 2 ounce wide-mouthed bottle as a generator. Fit this by means of a per- forated rubber stopper with a glass tube, diameter 1 cm. and 6 em. long, containing a piece of the lead acetate paper rolled into a cylinder. Connect this tube by means of a perforated rubber stopper with a similar tube filled with the lead acetate cotton, squeezed to remove excess of the solution. The cotton in all tubes used should be uniformly moist to obtain comparative stains. Connect the second tube by means of a perforated rubber stopper with a narrow glass tube, internal diameter 3 mm. and 12 cm. long, containing a strip of the mercuric bromid paper. See Fig.7. Rubber stoppers used for connections must be free from any white coating. 3 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Weigh 5-50 grams of the finely divided and well mixed sample into a porcelain casserole, the amount selected depending upon the character of the material and the ease with which it is oxidized. With dry, highly nitrogenous substances employ 5 grams; pulped vegetables, 25 grams; liquids with low solid content like beer or 171 172 METHODS OF ANALYSIS _ [Chap. vinegar, 50 grams. Add 10-15 cc. of the nitric acid, cover the casserole by setting a watch glass inside the rim, convex side upward, heat until vigorous action is over, cool and add 10 ce. of the concentrated sulphuric acid. Heat on a wire gauze over a flame until the mixture turns dark brown or black, then add more nitric acid in 5 ce. portions, heating between each addition until the liquid remains colorless or yellow when evaporated until sulphur trioxid fumes are evolved. To remove FIG. 7. APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC. completely all nitric or nitrous acid, evaporate to about 5 ce., cool, dilute with 10—- 15 cc. of water and again evaporate until white fumes are evolved. Cool, dilute with water, again cool, and make up with water to a definite volume (usually 25-100 cc., depending upon the amount of sample taken and its arsenic content). 4 DETERMINATION. Introduce 20 cc. of the solution or, if the amount of arsenic is large, an aliquot containing not more than 0.03 mg. of As,O3, prepared as directed in 3, into the XII] METALS IN FOODS 173 generator of the apparatus described in 2 and add 20 cc. of the dilute sulphuric acid. If the total volume is less than 40 ecc., dilute to that volume with water and add 4 cc. of the 20% potassium iodid solution. Heat to about 90°C., add 3 drops of the stannous chlorid solution and heat for 10 minutes. Cool the generator and its contents in a pan containing water and ice; when cold add about 15 grams of the stick zinc and connect the entire apparatus as described in 2. Keep the bottles in ice water for 15 minutes, then remove from the bath and allow the evolution of gas to proceed for an hour longer. Remove the sensitized paper and compare the stain with similar ones produced under like conditions with known amounts of arsenic, using portions of the standard arsenic solution, containing 0.001, 0.002, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, 0.025 and 0.030 mg. of arsenious oxid (As2O3), and adding such quantities of water and sulphuric acid that the same volume and acid strength are maintained as above. TIN’. 5 Gravimetric Method.—Tentative. Weigh 50-100 grams of the sample (depending upon the amount of dry substance present and the relative ease with which the organic matter is oxidized) into an 800 ec. Kjeldahl flask and add 100 cc. of concentrated nitric acid. Allow to stand over- night (this procedure being preferred if much fat or sugar is present) or else place the flask on a wire gauze over a free flame and heat until the contents boil quietly. Add 25-50 ce. of concentrated sulphuric acid (depending upon the amount of dry substance present in the sample), and heat until white fumes are generated, cool somewhat, then add 5-10 cc. of concentrated nitric acid and continue heating as before. Repeat the addition of nitric acid until the solution remains clear after boiling off the nitric acid and fumes of sulphur trioxid appear. Add 200 cc. of water to the digested sample, prepared as directed above, and pour into a 600 cc. beaker. Rinse out the Kjeldahl flask with 3 portions of boiling water so that the total volume of the solution is about 400 cc. Cool, add concentrated ammonia until just alkaline and then hydrochloric or sulphuric acid until the acidity is about 2%. Place the beaker, covered, on a hot plate, heat to about 95°C. and pass in a slow stream of hydrogen sulphid for another hour. Digest on the hot plate for an hour and allow to stand 1-2 hours longer. Filter the tin sulphid on an 11 em. filter, similar in quality to No. 590, white ribbon, S. & 8. Wash alternately with 3 portions each of wash solution (100 cc. of saturated ammonium acetate solution, 50 cc. of glacial acetic acid and 850 cc. of water) and hot water. Digest the filter and precipitate in a 50 cc. beaker with 3 successive portions of ammonium polysulphid, heat to boiling each time and filter through a 9 cm. filter. Wash the precipitate on the filter with hot water. Acidify the filtrate with acetic acid, digest on a hot plate for an hour, allow to stand overnight and filter through a double 11 cm. filter. Wash alternately with 2 portions each of the wash solution and hot water and dry thoroughly in a weighed porcelain crucible. Ignite over a Bunsen flame, very gently at first and later at full heat. The cru- cible, partly covered, is then heated strongly with a large or Méker burner. Stan- nic sulphid must be roasted gently to the oxid, which may be heated strongly with- out loss by volatilization. Weigh as stannic oxid and calculate to metallic tin. Volumetric Method?.—Tentative. 6 REAGENTS. (a) Air-free wash solution.—Dissolve 20 grams of sodium bicarbonate in 2 liters of boiled water and add 40 ce. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. This solution should be freshly prepared before use. 174 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (b) N/100 iodin.—The solution must be standardized frequently against (d), con- taining asbestos, and treated as described in 7, omitting the precipitation and boil- ing with hydrochloric acid and potassium chlorate. To obtain exact results the tin solution used for standardization should contain about the same amount of tin as is found in the sample under examination. (C) N/100 sodium thiosulphate. (d) Standard tin solution—Dissolve 1 gram of tin in about 500 ce. of concen- trated hydrochloric acid. Make up to 1 liter with water. One cc. contains 1 mg. of tin. (e) Sheet aluminium.—Use sheet aluminium, about 30 gauge, free from tin. 7 DETERMINATION. Proceed as directed in 5 to ‘Digest on the hot plate for an hour and allow to stand 1-2 hours longer’’. Filter the precipitate of tin sulphid upon asbestos in a Gooch crucible with a detachable bottom, using suction. Wash the precipitate a few times and then transfer the detachable bottom, asbestos pad, and tin precipitate to a 300 cc. Er- lenmeyer flask. Remove all traces of the precipitate from the inside of the cru- cible by means of a jet of hot water and a policeman, using a minimum amount of water for washing. Add 100 ec. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 0.5 gram of potassium chlorate to the flask. Boil for about 15 minutes, making about 4 more additions of smaller amounts of potassium chlorate as chlorin is boiled out of the solution. Wash the particles of potassium chlorate down from the neck of the flask with water and finally boil to remove chlorin. Then add about 1 gram of the sheet aluminium to dispel the last traces of chlorin. Attach the flasks, in duplicate, as described below, to a large carbon dioxid gener- ator. Pass the carbon dioxid through a scrubber containing water and then divide into 2 streams by means of a Y-tube, each stream of carbon dioxid entering one of the flasks by means of a long rubber tube connected with a bulbed tube, passed through the rubber stopper of the flask and having its lower end near the surface of the liquid in the flask. The carbon dioxid leaves the flask by a second bulbed tube, the opening of which is near the top of the flask. This glass tube is connected by a long rubber tube to a second glass tube about 10 inches long which is immersed in a cylinder containing water. This gives a water-seal to the delivery tube and a pres- sure against which the current of carbon dioxid must work. It also restrains any strong flow of gas when not desired and permits a gas pressure in the Erlenmeyer flask. After the flasks are connected, raise the tubes in the water-seal cylinders so that the generator has practically no pressure to overcome. Allow the carbon dioxid to run for a few minutes. Drop the tubes to the bottom of the cylinders, creating pressure in the flasks. Lift the rubber stoppers of the flasks alternately about a dozen times, in order to force out any air remaining in the flasks. Slightly raise the stopper on one of the flasks and quickly drop about 2 grams of sheet aluminium into the flask. The aluminium should be folded into a strip about 1 cm. wide and slightly bent so as to prevent it from striking directly on the bottom of the flask. After the aluminium has entirely dissolved, raise the tubes in the water-seal cylinders so as to allow carbon dioxid to pass through, place the flasks upon hot plates, and heat to boiling. After boiling for a few minutes, remove the flasks from the hot plates and cool in ice water (or cold running water), still maintaining within them an XII] METALS IN FOODS 175 atmosphere of carbon dioxid. Lower the tubes in the cylinder. When cool, dis- connect the flasks one at a time, putting a glass plug into the carbon dioxid inflow. Wash the tubes, rubber stopper and sides of the flask with the air-free wash solution, add starch paste and titrate at once with the N/100 iodin. If it is desired to titrate by the excess method, run an excess of the N/100 iodin into the flask while it is still connected with the carbon dioxid stream. Then wash out the tubes and titrate the excess of iodin with the N/100 sodium thiosulphate. The rubber connections should be washed with water after each determination. 8 COPPER.—TENTATIVE. Destroy organic matter as directed in 5. Concentrate the sulphuric acid residue by continued digestion to a volume of 10-15 cc., cool, dilute with a little water, trans- fer to a 400 cc. beaker, rinse the Kjeldahl flask with water, adding the rinsings to the contents of the beaker, dilute to about 200 ce. and boil to expel nitrous fumes. Cool, render the solution slightly alkaline with ammonium hydroxid and boil to expel the excess of ammonia. Add 5 ce. of concentrated hydrochloric acid for each 100 ce. of solution, heat to incipient boiling and saturate the solution with hydrogen sul- phid. Allow to stand on a steam bath for a few minutes until the sulphid flocculates, filter and wash the precipitate with hydrogen sulphid water. Protect the precipi- tate from contact with air as much as possible, use only hydrogen sulphid water for washing and carry out this operation without interruption. Reserve the filtrate for the determination of zinc, if necessary. Place the filter containing the copper sulphid precipitate in a small flask, add 4-5 ec. of concentrated sulphuric acid and the same amount of nitric acid and heat until white fumes appear. Continue the oxidation, adding a little nitric acid from time to time, until the liquid remains colorless upon heating to the appearance of white fumes. Cool, dilute with about 30 cc. of water, add an excess of bromin water and boil until all bromin is expelled. Determine the copper as directed in VIII, 29, using N/100 sodium thiosulphate for the titration. 9 ZINC.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed in 8 to the point indicated by the sentence “Reserve the fil- trate for the determination of zinc, if necessary’’. Boil the filtrate, containing the zinc, to expel hydrogen sulphid and to reduce the volume to about 250-300 cc., add a drop of methyl orange and 5 grams of ammonium chlorid and make alkaline with ammonium hydroxid. Add dilute hydrochloric acid, drop by drop, until the re- action is faintly acid, then add 10-15 cc. of 50% sodium or ammonium acetate solu- tion and pass in hydrogen sulphid for a few minutes until precipitation is complete. Allow the precipitate to settle, filter, refilter, if necessary, until the filtrate is clear, and wash the precipitate twice with hydrogen sulphid water. Dissolve the precipi- tate on the filter with a little hydrochloric acid (1 to 3), wash the filter with water, boil the filtrate and washings to expel hydrogen sulphid, cool and add a distinct excess of bromin water. Then add 5 grams of ammonium chlorid and ammonium hydroxid until the color, caused by free bromin, disappears. Add hydrochloric acid (1 to 3), drop by drop, until the bromin color just reappears, then add 10-15 cc. of 50% sodium or ammonium acetate solution and 0.5 cc. of 10% ferric chlorid solu- tion, or enough to precipitate all the phosphates. Boil until all the iron is precipi- tated. Filter while hot and wash the precipitate with water containing a little sodium acetate. Pass hydrogen sulphid into the combined filtrate and washings 176 METHODS OF ANALYSIS until all the zine sulphid, which should be pure white, is precipitated, filter upon a tared Gooch and wash with hydrogen sulphid water, containing a little ammonium nitrate. Dry the crucible and its contents in an oven, ignite at a bright red heat, cool and weigh as zine oxid. Calculate the weight of metallic zinc. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1U. 8. Bur. Chem. Circ. 102; J. Soc. Chem.

All samples received in open packages (i.e., not in sterile condition) must be trans- ferred without delay to glass-stoppered containers and kept in a cool place. The determination of alcohol, total and volatile acids, solids and sugars, particularly in the case of fruit juices and fresh fruits, should be made at once as fermentation is liable to begin very soon. Portions for the determinations of sucrose and reducing sugar may be weighed and, after adding a slight excess of neutral lead acetate solu- tion, kept without fermenting for several days if desired. The various products are prepared as directed below. (a) Juices.—Prepare the fresh juice by pressing the well pulped fruit in a jelly bag and filtering through muslin. (b) Jellies and sirups.—Mix thoroughly to insure uniformity in sampling. Weigh 60 grams into a 300 cc. flask, add water, dissolve by frequent shaking, then make up to the mark with water, and use aliquots for the various determinations. If the jelly contains starch or other insoluble material, mix thoroughly before taking the aliquots. (Cc) Fresh and dried fruits—Pulp the whole, well cleaned fruit in a large mortar or by means of a food chopper and mix thoroughly. In the case of stone fruits, remove the pits and determine their proportion in a weighed sample. (d) Jams, marmalades, preserves and canned fruits.—Pulp thoroughly the entire contents of the jar or can, as directed under (C); with stone fruits remove the pits and, if desired, determine their proportion in a weighed sample. In the exami- nation of canned fruits it is often sufficient merely to examine the sirups in which the fruits are preserved. In such cases the liquor may be separated and treated as pre- scribed for juices. ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. Determine alcohol in 50 grams of the original material as directed under IX, 31. 3 TOTAL SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. (a) Juices, jellies and sirups containing no insoluble matter.—Proceed as di- rected in IX, 3, 5, 7 or 10, employing the sample prepared as directed in 1 (a) or (b). (b) Fresh and dried fruits, jams, marmalades, preserves, canned foods and other products containing insoluble matter.—Weigh about 20 grams of pulped fresh fruit, or such an amount of fruit products as will give not more than 3-4 grams of dried material; if necessary to secure a thin layer of the material, add a few cc. of water, mix thoroughly, and dry as directed in IX, 3 or 4. _ It is to be noted that certain State and Federal regulations require the moisture in dried apples to be determined by drying for 4 hours at the temperature of boiling water. INSOLUBLE SOLIDS. 4 Direct Method.—Tentative. Transfer 50 grams of the sample to a mortar by means of warm water and macerate thoroughly; then transfer to a muslin filter and wash thoroughly with about 500 cc. of warm water, stirring the pulp thoroughly on each addition of water. This amount of water is usually sufficient to remove all soluble material. In extreme cases increase 177 178 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. the washings to 1000 cc. Transfer the insoluble residue to an evaporating dish, dry and weigh. If it is desired to determine the alcohol precipitate, 18, cool the filtrate, make up to a definite volume and reserve for this determination. 5 Indirect Method.—Tentative. Transfer 25 grams of the fruit product to a 250-500 ce. graduated flask, the size of the flask depending upon the volume of insoluble matter present, add water, shake thoroughly and make up to volume. Allow to settle and either filter or decant the supernatant liquid. Determine the soluble solids in an aliquot, as directed in 3 (a). The fruit must be macerated thoroughly; the use of a mechanical shaker is advisable. The percentage of insoluble solids is the difference between the per- centage of the total solids and the percentage of soluble solids. 6 TOTAL ASH.—OFFICIAL. Determine the ash as directed under VIII, 4, using 50 cc. of the solution of the jelly or diluted sirup, 1 (b), evaporated to dryness, or 25 grams of juice or of fresh or canned fruit, or 10 grams of jam, marmalade, preserves, or dried fruit. 7 ALKALINITY OF THE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Into the platinum dish containing the ash introduce a measured excess of N/5 nitric acid, heat to boiling, cool and add a few drops of methyl orange. Carefully rub up the ash with a rubber-tipped stirring rod and titrate the excess of acid with N/10 potassium or sodium hydroxid. Express the result as the number of cc. of N/10 acid required to neutralize the ash from 100 grams of the sample. 8 SULPHATE AND CHLORID.—TENTATIVE. Wash the solution of the ash, obtained in 7, into a 50 cc. flask and make up to the mark with water. Evaporate 25 cc. of this solution to dryness several times with con- centrated hydrochloric acid, take up the final residue in a small amount of hot water, filter, wash the paper with hot water, acidify the filtrate with a few drops of hydro- chloric acid and determine the sulphate by precipitation with barium chlorid solution. From the weight of barium sulphate calculate the sulphate present as per cent of potassium sulphate. In the other portion of the solution determine the chlorin as directed under III, 15. The nitric acid added before making the titration will, if it contain enough nitrous oxid, completely destroy the red color of the methyl orange and leave a clear solu- tion for the titration. Calculate the chlorin as per cent of sodium chlorid. 9 TOTAL ACIDITY.—TENTATIVE. Dilute 25 cc. of the solution of jelly or diluted sirup, 1 (b), or 10 grams of juice or fresh fruit, with recently boiled water to about 250 cc., or less if the sample be not highly colored; titrate the acid with N/10 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an in- dicator. In the case of highly colored products employ azolitmin solution or phenol- phthalein powder [XVI, 25] on a spot plate instead of phenolphthalein solution. Calculate the results as malic, citric or tartaric acid, specifying the acid used and expressing the results in grams per 100 ce. 10 VOLATILE ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Dissolve 10 grams of the sample, dilute to 25 ee. and distil in a current of steam, as directed under XVI, 27. Each ce. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0060 gram of acetic acid. XIII) FRUITS AND FRUIT PRODUCTS 179 11 FREE MINERAL ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XIX, 26, 27 or 28. 1 2 PROTEIN.—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, using 5 grams of jelly or other fruit product containing a large amount of sugar, or 10 grams of juice or fresh fruit and a larger quantity of the sulphuric acid if necessary for complete digestion. Multi- ply the percentage of nitrogen by 6.25 to obtain the percentage of protein. SUCROSE. 13 By Polarization.—O ficial. Determine by polarizing before and after inversion, as directed under IX, 22 or 23. 14 By Reducing Sugars Before and After Inversion.—Tentative. Proceed as directed under VIII, 18. 15 REDUCING SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 25, expressing the results as invert sugar. 16 COMMERCIAL GLUCOSE.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under IX, 25. 17 DEXTRIN.—TENTATIVE. Dissolve 10 grams of the sample in a 100 ce. flask, add 20 mg. of potassium fluorid, and then about one fourth of a cake of compressed yeast. Allow the fermentation to proceed below 25°C. for 2-3 hours to prevent excessive foaming, and then incu- bate at 27°-30°C. for 5 days. At the end of that time, clarify with basic lead acetate solution and alumina cream, make up to 100 ce. and polarize in a 200 mm. tube. A pure fruit jelly will show a dextro or laevo-rotation of not more than a few tenths of a degree. If a polariscope having the Ventzke scale be used and a 10% solution polarized in a 200 mm. tube, the number of degrees read on the sugar scale of the in- strument multiplied by 0.8755 will give the percentage of dextrin, or the following formula may be used: Percentage of dextrin = mee in which 198 x L X W C = degrees of circular rotation; L = length of tube in decimeters; W = weight of sample in 1 cc. 18 ALCOHOL PRECIPITATE.—TENTATIVE. Evaporate 100 ce. of a 20% solution of jelly or diluted sirup, 1 (b), or of the wash- ings from the determination of insoluble solids, 4, to 20 cc.; add slowly, with constant stirring, 200 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume and allow the mixture to stand overnight. Filter and wash with 80% alcohol by volume. Wash the precipitate from the filter paper with hot water into a platinum dish; evaporate to dryness; dry at 100°C. for several hours and weigh; then burn off the organic matter and weigh the residue as ash. Designate the loss in weight upon ignition as the alcohol precipitate. The ash should be chiefly lime and not more than 5% of the total weight of the alcohol precipitate. If it is greater than this, some of the salts of the organic acids have been brought down. ‘Titrate the water-soluble portion of this ash with N/10 acid, as any potassium bitartrate precipitated by the alcohol can thus be estimated. 180 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. : STARCH. 19 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. First destroy the color of the jelly by treatment with sulphuric acid and potassium permanganate solution and then test with iodin solution. Bring the solution of jelly nearly to boiling, add several cc. of dilute sulphuric acid and then potassium permanganate solution until all color is destroyed. The starch remains unaffected by this treatment. The presence of starch is not necessarily an indication of its addition as an adulterant. It is usually present in small amount in the apple, and occasionally in other fruits, and unless it is found in the fruit product in consider- able amount its presence may be due to these natural sources. GELATIN!. 20 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. The presence of gelatin in jellies and jams is shown by the increased content of nitrogen. Precipitate a concentrated solution of jelly or jam with 10 volumes of absolute alcohol and determine nitrogen in the dried precipitate as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. AGAR AGAR. QUALITATIVE TESTS. 21 By Microscopic Examination?.—Tentative. Heat the jelly with 5% sulphuric acid, add a crystal of potassium permanganate and allow to settle. If agar agar is present the sediment will be rich in diatoms which can be detected by the use of the microscope. 22 By Precipitation?.—Tentative. Cover 30 grams of the jam or jelly with 270 cc. of hot water, stir until thoroughly disintegrated and boil for 3 minutes. Filter immediately, while still boiling hot, through a filter paper of texture similar to No. 597,S.&S8. In the presence of agar agar a precipitate will form upon standing not longer than 24 hours. Filter, wash with cold water and dissolve from the paper by means of a very small amount of boiling water. Upon chilling this hot water solution a firm jelly will be formed that can be examined by the touch. This method will detect 0.2% of agar agar with certainty if the proportions of jam or jelly and water are strictly observed. TARTARIC ACID.—TENTATIVE. 23 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Filter fruit juices and employ the filtrate directly. In the case of jellies filter the solution, prepared as directed in 1 (b), and employ the filtrate. In the case of sirups or substances containing insoluble matter like pulped fruit, jams, marmalades, etc., weigh 50-100 grams, the amount selected being dependent upon the content of solids, of the sample, prepared as directed in 1 (C) or (d), introduce into a 200 ce. graduated flask, make up to the mark with water, allow to stand for an hour, shake at frequent intervals, filter through a dry paper and use the filtrate. 24 DETERMINATION, Determine the tartaric acid in 100 ce. of fruit juice or the same amount of a solu- tion of the sample, prepared as directed in 23, employing the method given under XVI, 29, except that 20 cc. of alcohol are used in the precipitation instead of 15 ce. XIII] FRUITS AND FRUIT PRODUCTS 181 MALIC ACID. 25 Method I.—Tentative. (For fruit juices and similar products containing no tartaric acid and not over 15% of sugars and in which the color does not interfere with polarization.) Filter the sample, if necessary to secure a solution which can be readily polar- ized, and polarize with white light and a dichromate cell, using a 200 mm. tube if possible. If the sample contains free mineral acid, transfer a measured portion (75 cc. is a convenient volume) to a 100 cc. graduated flask, add enough standard alkali, cal- culated from the acidity as determined in 9, to neutralize the total acidity, dilute to the mark, mix well and filter. If no free mineral acids are present, it is unneces- sary to neutralize the sample. If neutralized, proper correction must be made for dilution in making the final calculation. Transfer 25 cc. of the sample, or a neutralized solution, to a flask graduated at 25 and 27.5 cc., add about 2.5 grams of powdered uranyl acetate, and shake vigorously at frequent intervals for 3 hours, keeping the mixture well protected from light. If all of the uranyl acetate dissolves, add more so that a small amount remains undissolved at the end of 3 hours. Dilute the solution to the 27.5 cc. mark with saturated uranyl acetate solution, mix well and filter, if necessary, through a folded filter. Polarize, if possible, in a 200 mm.tube. If the solution is too dark to polarize in a 200 mm. tube, a 100 or 50 mm. tube may be used. Multiply the reading by 1.1 to correct for the dilution. Multiply the algebraic difference in degrees Ventzke between the 2 readings cal- culated to the basis of a 200 mm. tube by the factor 0.036 to obtain the weight of malic acid in the sample in grams per 100 cc. Make all polarizations at the same room temperature with white light and with a dichromate cell. Make at least 6 readings in each case and take an average of these. In the case of dark colored fruit juices which cannot be polarized readily, approxi- mately quantitative results may be obtained by adding to the solutions a few drops of bromin, shaking thoroughly and filtering just before polarization. Method IT.—Tentative. (Approximate determination for fruit juices and similar products con- taining no tartaric acid and more than 15% of sugars.) 26 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION‘. Weigh out 25 grams of the sample and transfer to a 600 cc. beaker with a little 95% alcohol by volume. Add alcohol a little at a time until 200 cc. have been added, stirring the mixture well, and warming, if necessary, to insure solution of all alcohol- soluble substances. Filter on a Biichner funnel, using suction, and thoroughly wash the precipitated pectins and insoluble matter with 95% alcohol, disregarding any slight turbidity which may appear in the filtrate after the washings have been added. From 9, calculate the amount of N/4 barium hydroxid required nearly to neutralize the acidity in the 25 grams of sample taken. To the com- bined filtrate and washings in an Erlenmeyer flask add the calculated quantity of barium hydroxid solution, stir until reaction is complete and then add 3-5 drops, or more if required, of 50% barium acetate solution to imsure an excess or barium. Make up the volume of the mixture to about 375 cc. (not less) with alcohol, and re- flux until the precipitate settles readily after being shaken. This may require 3-4 182 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. hours. Filter with suction and thoroughly wash the precipitate in the flask and on the paper with 95% alcohol by volume. Transfer the portion on the filter to the original flask, rinsing the paper with a jet of hot water. Digest the pre- cipitate with hot water, containing 2 grams of sodium sulphate in solution, un- til the reaction is complete, and boil until the barium sulphate precipitate settles readily. Concentrate by evaporation, if necessary, and transfer to a 100 cc. vol- umetric flask with a little hot water, cool, make up to volume with water and filter. 21. DETERMINATION. Transfer 25 cc. of the filtrate, obtained in 26, to a flask graduated at 25 and 27.5 cc., add about 2.5 grams of pulverized uranyl acetate and shake vigorously at frequent intervals for 3 hours, keeping the solution well protected from light. If all the uranyl acetate dissolves, add more so that a small amount remains undissolved at the end of 3 hours. Dilute the solution to the 27.5 cc. mark with saturated uranyl acetate solution, mix well, filter if necessary, and polarize in a 200 mm. tube, using the same precautions as described in 25. Multiply the reading, calculated to the basis of a 200 mm. tube, by 1.1 to correct for the dilution. Polarize another portion of the filtrate, obtained in 26, which has not been treated with uranyl acetate. Multiply the algebraic difference in degrees Ventzke between the 2 readings, calculated to the basis of a 200 mm. tube, by the factor 0.036 to obtain the weight of malic acid in grams per 100 cc. in the solution as obtained in 26. Method III.—Tentative. (Approximate determination for products containing tartaric acid.) 28 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION®. Prepare the sample as directed under 26 up to the point of filtration and washing of the barium malate precipitate, then dry the precipitate thoroughly and transfer the portion on the filter to the original flask, rinsing the paper with a jet of hot water. Digest the precipitate with hot water, transfer to a 100 cc. volumetric flask with a little hot water, cool, make up to volume with water and filter to re- move insoluble barium tartrate. This amount of water is sufficient to dissolve barium malate up to amounts as large as approximately 0.9 gram in 100 ce. More than 100 cc. of water must be used when more than 0.9 gram of barium malate is present. The amount of barium tartrate dissolved by hot water is so small as to affect only slightly the polarization after treatment with uranyl acetate. 29 DETERMINATION. Proceed as directed in 27, using the solution prepared as directed in 28. CITRIC ACID®.—TENTATIVE. (Applicable in the presence of sugar and malic and tartaric acids.) 30 REAGENTS, (a) Barium hydroxid solution.—Approximately N/4. (b) 50% barium acetate solution. (C) Sulphuric acid (1 to 1) and (1 to 3). (d) Potassium or sodium bromid solution.—Dissolve 15 grams of potassium bromid in 40 cc. of water or 16 grams of sodium bromid in 50 ce. of water. XIII] FRUITS AND FRUIT PRODUCTS 183 (@) 5% potassium permanganate solution. (f) Ferrous sulphate solution.—Dissolve 20 grams of ferrous sulphate in 100 cc. of water containing 1 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid. (8) Bromin water.—Freshly prepared, saturated solution. 31 DETERMINATION. Proceed as directed in 26 up to ‘‘Filter with suction and thoroughly wash the precipitate in the flask and on the paper with 95% alcohol by volume’’. Transfer the precipitate from the filter to the flask with a jet of hot water, boil until alcohol can no longer be detected by odor, and add enough of the sulphuric acid (1 to 5) to precipitate all the barium originally added and to allow 2 cc. in excess. Evaporate by careful boiling to a volume of 60-70 cc., cool and add 5 ce. of freshly prepared saturated bromin water, or enough to show a distinct excess. Transfer with water to a 100 cc. volumetric flask and dilute to the mark at standard temperature. Mix thoroughly, allow the precipitate to settle and filter through a dry paper. The precipitate may be separated by centrifugalizing and the super- natant liquid decanted, if necessary. Pipette an aliquot of the filtrate, containing not more than 250 mg. of citric acid, calculated from the total acidity of the sample, into a 300 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. If possible, the amount of citric acid in the ali- quot should exceed 50 mg. Add 10 cc. of the sulphuric acid (1 to 1) and 5 ce. of the potassium or sodium bromid solution, mix, warm the flask in a water bath to 48°-50°C. and allow it to remain in the bathfor5 minutes. After removing from the bath add rapidly from a pipette, drop by drop with frequent interruptions, 25 cc. of the 5% potassium permanganate solution and shake vigorously, avoiding a temperature during oxidation exceeding 55°C. Set the flask aside until the hydrated peroxid of manganese begins to settle. The supernatant liquid should be dark brown, showing an excess of permanganate; if an excess is not indicated, add more permanganate. Shake, again set aside to settle and repeat this operation until the precipitate assumes a yellow color and most of it has dissolved. Finally, while the solution is still warm, remove the last undissolved portion of hydrated peroxid of manganese precipitate and also the excess of bromin by adding, drop by drop, the clear ferrous sulphate solution. Allow the solution to cool, shaking occasionally. If the opera- tions have been properly conducted, a heavy white precipitate of pentabromacetone is obtained which becomes crystalline on occasional shaking and in this condition is entirely insoluble in water. Allow the mixture to stand overnight, collect it by means of gentle suction on a tared Gooch crucible provided with a thin pad of asbestos, previously dried over sulphuric acid in a vacuum desiccator, wash with water slightly acidified with sulphuric acid and finally wash twice with water. Dry the precipitate to constant weight over sulphuric acid in a vacuum desiccator, protecting the precipi- tate from strong light. The weight of pentabromacetone multiplied by the factor 0.424 gives the equivalent weight of anhydrous citric acid (H3CsH;O;). Occasionally the pentabromacetone is first obtained in the form of oily droplets. These become crystalline on standing or on cooling and are usually discolored by negligible traces of manganese or iron. The above method may be applied directly to the sample without previous pre- cipitation of the citric acid as the barium salt when the amount of sugar or other permanganate reducing substances is not excessive. In this case begin the deter- mination with the addition of 2 cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to 5) and the treatment with bromin water. 32 METALS.—TENTATIVE.

XIV. CANNED VEGETABLES. 1 PHYSICAL EXAMINATION!.—TENTATIVE. Note carefully the external appearance of the packages to detect the presence of “leakers’’, ‘‘swells’’ or ‘“‘springers’’. In general the ends of sound tins of canned vegetables are slightly concave. On opening the package note the relative pro- portion of solid and liquid contents and the level of the solids and of the total con- tents in the tin. Note the general appearance, odor, flavor, color and size of the vegetables; appearance of the liquor or brine, whether clear or turbid, and the con- dition of the inner walls of the container, especially as to blackening and corrosion. In all instances the analyst should familiarize himself with the normal appearance, odor, color, flavor and other properties of the product under examination. Care- ful macroscopic or microscopic examination should be made for worm infestation, mold, dirt, or other evidence of decomposition or filth. 2 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. The preparation of the sample for analysis depends upon the character of the product and the determinations to be made. Samples in which only the solid or liquid portion is required should be treated as follows: Weigh the full can, open, pour off the liquid, allow the solid portion to drain for a minute, re-weigh the can and drained vegetables, then remove the solid portion and weigh the dry, empty can. The method selected for draining the vegetables is dependent upon the nature and condition of the sample. In most cases it is sufficient to cut around the cover and before turning it back allow the liquor to drain through the slit. Whenever a portion of the solid material would escape with the liquor by this procedure, drain upon a piece of cheese-cloth. From the weights thus obtained determine the per- centage of liquid and solid contents. If only the solid portion is required, separate in a similar manner and grind thoroughly the drained vegetables in a mortar or food chopper. If a composite of the solid and liquid portion is required, grind thoroughly the contents of the can in a mortar or food chopper. In all cases mix thoroughly the portion used and preserve the balance in glass-stoppered containers. Unless the analysis is to be completed in a reasonably short time, determine the moisture in a portion of the sample prepared as above and, in order to prevent decom- position, dry the remainder and then expose to air until it becomes air-dry, grind, mix thoroughly and preserve in glass-stoppered containers. A second moisture determi- nation is required in this procedure. 3 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE.

Place the flask, loosely stoppered, for an hour in a water bath kept at 40°C., shaking occasionally. Filter upon a dry, folded filter, return- ing the first 10-15 cc. of the filtrate to the filter. Titrate 100 cc. of the clear filtrate with N/20 sodium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Each ce. of N/20 sodium hydroxid is equivalent to 0.05% acidity as lactic acid. 6 SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. Determine reducing sugars and sucrose as directed in VIII, 58 and 59. 7 PROTEIN.—OFFICIAL. Determine nitrogen as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23. Multiply the percentage of nitrogen by 5.7 to obtain the percentage of protein. ALCOHOL-SOLUBLE PROTEIN. 8 Method I. (By nitrogen determination)—Tentative. Transfer 4 grams of the flour to a 150-200 cc. bottle or Erlenmeyer flask and add 100 ec. of 70% alcohol by volume, taking care that none of the material sticks to the bottom of the container. Shake thoroughly 10-12 times at intervals of 30 minutes at room temperature, or shake continuously in a shaking machine for an hour, and then set aside overnight. Shake thoroughly once more, allow to settle and filter through a dry, folded filter, returning the first runnings to the filter until a clear filtrate is obtained. Pipette 50 cc. of the filtrate, equivalent to 2 grams of the sample, into a Kjeldahl flask, dilute with 100 cc. of water to prevent frothing during digestion and determine nitrogen as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23. 187 188 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 9 Method II. (By Polarization)—Tentative. REAGENT. Millon’s reagent.—Dissolve metallic mercury in an equal weight of concentrated nitric acid and dilute the solution with an equal volume of water. The freshly prepared solution must be used. 10 DETERMINATION. Weigh 15.97 grams of the flour into a 300 cc. flask and add 100 cc. of alcohol (sp. gr. 0.90). Shake at 30 minute intervals for 3 hours and then let stand overnight. Filter through a dry, folded filter and polarize in a 200 mm. tube. Precipitate the proteins in 50 cc. of the filtrate by the addition of 5 cc. of Millon’s reagent. Shake, filter and polarize the filtrate in a 200 mm. tube. Multiply the reading in degrees Ventzke by 1.1 to correct for the dilution and deduct the product from the first reading. This difference multiplied by 0.2 gives the per cent of gliadin! nitrogen. 11 PROTEIN SOLUBLE IN 5 PER CENT POTASSIUM SULPHATE SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 6 grams of the flour into a 200 cc. flask and introduce exactly 100 cc. of 5% potassium sulphate solution. Shake at 30 minute intervals for 3 hours and let stand overnight or, better still, agitate at moderate speed in a shaker for 3 hours, let settle 30 minutes, filter and determine the nitrogen in 50 cc. of the filtrate as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23. 12 GLOBULIN AND ALBUMIN (EDESTIN AND LEUCOSIN) AND AMINO NITROGEN?.— TENTATIVE. Weigh 10 grams of the flour into a 500 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, add 250 cc. of 1% sodium chlorid solution, stopper the flask and shake thoroughly. Let stand, with occasional shaking, for 3 hours, filter through dry paper and evaporate 100 cc. of the filtrate to a small volume in a Kjeldahl digestion flask with 5 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid. Add the remainder of the sulphuric acid and determine the nitro- gen as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23. +Toa-second 100 ce. of the filtrate add 5 cc. of 20% phosphotungstic acid solution, shake thoroughly, allow to settle and filter by de- cantation. Wash slightly with water, concentrate the filtrate with 5 cc. of sul- phuric acid in a Kjeldahl flask and determine the nitrogen (amino) as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23. Deduct the amino nitrogen from the nitrogen found in the first frac- tion to obtain the nitrogen as globulin and albumin’. 13 GLUTENIN.—TENTATIVE. 4 Deduct the sum of the potassium sulphate-soluble nitrogen, 11, and the alcohol- soluble nitrogen, 8, from the total nitrogen, 7, and multiply the difference by 5.7. 14 COLD WATER-SOLUBLE EXTRACT.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 20 grams of the flour into a 500 cc. Erlenmeyer flask and add gradually 200 cc. of water at 10°C., shake vigorously when about 50 cc. of water have been added and continue shaking during the addition of the remainder. Allow to stand at 10°C. for 40 minutes, shaking occasionally. Filter through a large, dry, coarse filter paper, returning the first runnings to the filter until a clear filtrate is obtained. Pipette 20 cc. of the clear filtrate into a tared dish, evaporate to dryness on a steam bath, and dry to constant weight in an oven at 100°C. for periods of 30 minutes. XV] CEREAL FOODS 189 GLUTEN. 15 Bamthl Test. (Qualitative)—Tentative. Place a very small quantity (about 1.5 mg.) of the flour on a microscope slide, add a drop of water, containing 0.2 gram of water-soluble eosin in 1 liter, and mix by means of a cover-glass, holding the latter at first in such a manner that it is raised slightly above the slide, and taking care that none of the flour escapes from beneath it. Finally allow the cover-glass to rest on the slide and rub it back and forth until the gluten has collected into rolls. The operation should be carried out on a white paper so that the formation of gluten rolls can be noted. Wheat flour, or other flours containing gluten, show by this treatment a copious amount of gluten, which absorbs the eosin with avidity, assuming a carmine color. Rye and corn flour yield only a trace of gluten, and buckwheat flour no appreciable amount. The preparations are best examined with the naked eye, thus gaining an idea of the amount of gluten present. If the flour is coarse, or contains a considerable amount of bran elements, as is true of buckwheat flour and low-grade wheat flour, the test should be made after bolting, as the bran particles and coarse lumps interfere with the formation of gluten rolls. 16 Quantitative Method.—Tentative. Weigh 25 grams of the flour into a cup or porcelain mortar, add sufficient tap water (about 15 cc.) to form a firm dough ball and work into a dough with a spatula or pestle, taking care that none of the material adheres to the utensil employed. Allow the dough to stand in water at room temperature for an hour, then knead gently in a stream of tap water until the starch and all soluble matters are removed. This operation requires approximately 12 minutes and should be performed over bolting cloth or a horsehair sieve. To determine if the gluten is starch-free let 1 or 2 drops of the wash water, obtained by squeezing the gluten, fall into a beaker containing perfectly clear water. If starch is present a cloudiness appears. Allow the gluten thus obtained to stand in water for an hour, then press as dry as possible between the hands, roll into a ball, place in a tared, flat-bottomed dish and weigh as moist gluten. Transfer to an oven, dry to constant weight at 100°C. (about 24 hours), cool and weigh as dry gluten. CHLORIN. 17 Qualitative Test. (Chlorin-Bleached Flours)—Tentative. Extract 30 grams of the flour with gasoline and allow the latter to evaporate. A small amount of oil remains. Heat a piece of copper wire in a colorless gas flame until it is black andno longer colors the flame green. Dip the hot end of the wire into the oil and again bring into the flame. If chlorin or bromin has been used as a bleaching agent, a green or blue coloration is produced. 18 Quantitative Method. (Added Chlorin in Chlorin-Bleached Flours)—Tentative. Weigh 20 grams of the flour into a flat-bottomed aluminium dish, 8-10 cm. in diameter, and dry 5 hours in a boiling water or steam oven, transfer, with as little exposure to the air as possible, to a continuous fat extractor, and extract for 16 hours with anhydrous alcohol-free ether, which is also free from chlorin. Transfer the ether extract to a nickel dish and add 25 ce. of a solution containing 25 grams of sodium hydroxid and 15 grams of sodium nitrate per liter. Place the dish on a steam bath, evaporate to dryness and ignite in a muffle at a dull red heat until 190 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. the contents are thoroughly charred. Extract the charred mass with 25 cc. of 1% nitric acid and filter. Return the residue to the dish, char and again extract with 25 ec. of 1% nitric acid, filter, wash with hot water, return to the dish and ignite toa white ash. Dissolve the ash in 5% nitric acid and add the solution to the filtrates previously obtained. Determine the chlorin in the combined filtrates either gravi- metrically, as directed in I, 16 (a), or volumetrically, as directed in III, 15, using N/50 solutions for greater accuracy. NITRITE NITROGEN.—TENTATIVE. 19 REAGENTS. (a) Sulphanilic acid solution.—Dissolve 0.5 gram of sulphanilic acid in 150 cc. of 20% acetic acid. (b) Alpha-naphthylamin hydrochlorid solution.—Dissolve, by heating, 0.2 gram of the salt in 150 cc. of 20% acetic acid. (Cc) Standard nitrite solution.—Dissolve 0.1097 gram of dry C. P. silver nitrite in about 20 cc. of hot water, add 0.10 gram of C. P. sodium chlorid, shake until the silver chlorid flocculates and make up to 1 liter. Draw off 10 cc. of the clear solution and dilute to 1 liter. Each cc. of the last solution is equivalent to 0.0001 mg. of nitrogen as nitrite. kee IV, 12 (d)] The silver nitrite may be prepared as follows: To a cold solution of about 2 grams of sodium or potassium nitrite in 50 cc. of water, add a solution of silver nitrate as long as a precipitate appears. Decant the liquid and thoroughly wash the precipitate with cold water. Dissolve in boiling water. On cooling the silver nitrite crystallizes out. Dry the crystals in the dark at ordinary temperature (pre- ferably in a vacuum). 20 DETERMINATION. (1) Select a series of 100 cc. volumetric flasks of uniform dimensions and color. Place 2 grams of high-grade, nitrite-free flour in each; add approximately 70 cc. of nitrite-free water and shake until the flour is thoroughly moistened. Add to these flasks varying amounts of the standard sodium nitrite solution, so that a series of comparison standards will be obtained having a range covering the probable nitrite content of the unknown sample. Reserve 1 flask for a blank test. In order to avoid making a large series of standards it is well to make a preliminary test to as- certain the approximate nitrite content of the unknown. Where the quantity of nitrite present is small, the nitrite solution in the flasks may be increased by 0.4 ec. each. Where bleaching is excessive, 1 gram of flour may be used throughout, or the standards may be given a wider variation in nitrite content. To each of 2 similar flasks add 2 grams of the flour and 90 cc. of water; shake thoroughly and digest all the flasks, including the blank, in a water bath at 40°C. for at least 15 minutes; add 2 cc. each of the sulphanilic acid and alpha- naphthylamin hydrochlorid solutions to each flask. Continue the digestion at 40°C. for an additional 20 minutes. The color must be developed in all the flasks under conditions as nearly uniform as possible. Make up to the marks with nitrite- free water and compare the unknown with the series of standards. This may be done in a large, white, enameled pan; the effect of the turbidity, due to the flour, being minimized by the white background. The solutions should be allowed to subside and should not be shaken during comparison; or, (2) Weigh 20 grams of the flour into a 500 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, add 200 cc. of nitrite-free water, previously warmed to 40°C., and close the flask with a rubber stopper. Shake vigorously for 5 minutes and digest for an hour in a water bath, XV] CEREAL FOODS 191 keeping the temperature of the liquid in the flask at 40°C. and shaking at 10 minute intervals. Finally filter on a dry, nitrite-free, folded filter. Return the first run- nings to the filter until a clear filtrate is obtained. Pipette 50 cc. of the filtrate and 50 ce. of the standard nitrite solution into small flasks; add to each, 50 cc. of water, 2 ec. each of the sulphanilic acid and alpha-naphthylamin hydrochlorid solutions, shake and allow to stand an hour to bring out the color. Compare the 2 solutions in a colorimeter. Divide the height of the column of the standard solution by that of the solution of the sample to obtain the parts of nitrogen as nitrous acid (free and combined) per million of flour. 21 GASOLINE COLOR VALUE.—TENTATIVE. Place 20 grams of the flour in a wide-mouthed, glass-stoppered 120 cc. bottle and add 100 cc. of colorless gasoline. Stopper tightly and shake vigorously for 5 minutes. After standing 16 hours, shake again for a few seconds until the flour has been loos- ened from the bottom of the bottle and thoroughly mixed with the gasoline, then filter immediately on a dry 11 cm. paper into an Erlenmeyer flask, keeping the fun- nel covered with a watch glass to prevent evaporation. In order to secure a clear filtrate, a certain quantity of the flour should be allowed to pass over onto the paper and the first portion of the filtrate passed through a second time. It will be found convenient to fit the filter paper to the funnel by means of water and dry thoroughly either by standing overnight in a well-ventilated place or by heating. Determine the color value of the clear gasoline solution in a Schreiner or similar colorimeter, using for comparison a 0.005% potassium chromate solution. This solu- tion corresponds to a gasoline number of 1.0 and is conveniently prepared by dilu- ting 10 cc. of a 0.5% solution to 1 liter. The colorimeter tube, containing the gasoline solution, should first be adjusted so as to read 50 mm., then the tube containing the standard chromate solution raised or lowered until the shades of yellow in both tubes match. The reading of the chromate solution, divided by the reading of the gasoline solution, gives the gasoline color value. The color value may be deter- mined also in Nessler tubes, using for comparison potassium chromate solutions of various dilutions prepared from a 0.5% solution and filling the tubes in all cases to the height of 50 mm.

Note the following: whether the container is “bottle full’; the appearance of the wine, whether there is any sediment and if it is bright or turbid; condition when opened, whether still, gaseous or carbonated; color and depth of color; odor, whether vinous, acetous, pleasant or foreign; and taste, whether vinous, acetous, sweet, dry or foreign. 2 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. If gas is contained in the wine, remove it by pouring back and forth in beakers. Filter the wine, regardless of appearance, before analysis and determine immedi- ately the specific gravity and such ingredients as alcohol, acids and sugars as are liable to change through exposure. 3 SPECIFIC GRAVITY.—_TENTATIVE. : , ; vo, Determine the specific gravity at a by means of a pycnometer. 4 ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. (a) By volume.—Measure 100 cc. of the liquid at 20°C. into a 300-500 ce. distilla- tion flask, add 50 cc. of water, attach the flask to a vertical condenser by means of a bent tube and distil almost 100 cc., making up to 100 cc. volume when cooled to 20°C. Foaming, which sometimes occurs, especially with young wines, may be prevented by the addition of a small amount of tannin. To determine the alcohol in wines which have undergone acetous fermentation and contain an abnormal ammount of acetic acid, exactly neutralize the portion taken with sodium hydroxid solution before distilling. This is unnecessary, however, in wines of normal taste and odor. Determine the specific gravity of the distillate at sais and obtain the correspond- ing percentage of alcohol by volame from 5. (b) Grams per 100 cc.—¥rom the specific gravity of the distillate, obtained in (a), ascertain from 5 the corresponding alcohol content in grams per 100 ce. (C) By weight.—Divide the number of grams in the 100 cc. of distillate, as ob- tained in (b), by the weight of the sample as calculated from its specific gravity. (d) By immersion refractometer —The percentages of alcohol, as determined in (A) and (C), may be verified by determining the immersion refractometer reading of the distillate and obtaining, from 6, the corresponding percentages of alcohol. 193 194 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap.

GLYCEROL IN DRY WINES. 1G Method I. (By Direct Weighing)—Tentative. Evaporate 100 ec. of the wine in a porcelain dish on a water bath to a volume of about 10 cc. and treat the residue with about 5 grams of fine sand and 4-5 cc. of milk of lime (containing about 15% of calcium oxid) for each gram of extract pres- ent and evaporate almost to dryness. Treat the moist residue with 50 cc. of 90% alcohol by volume, remove the substance adhering to the sides of the dish with a spatula and rub the whole mass to a paste. Heat the mixture on a water bath, with constant stirring, to incipient boiling and decant the liquid through a filter into a small flask. Wash the residue repeatedly by decantation with 10 cc. portions of hot 90% alcohol until the filtrate amounts to about 150 cc. Evaporate the filtrate to a sirupy consistency in a porcelain dish on a hot, but not boiling, water bath; transfer the residue to a small, glass-stoppered, graduated cylinder with 20 cc. of absolute alcohol and add 3 portions of 10 cc. each of anhydrous ether, shaking thoroughly after each addition. Let stand until clear, then pour off through a filter, and wash the cylinder and filter with a mixture of 1 part of absolute alcohol to 14 parts of anhydrous ether, also pouring the wash liquor through the filter. Evaporate the filtrate to a sirupy consistency, dry for an hour at the temperature of boiling water, weigh, ignite and weigh again. The loss on ignition gives the weight of glycerol. 8 Method II. (By Oxidation with Dichromate)—Tentative. Evaporate 100 cc. of the wine in a porcelain dish on a water bath, the temperature of which is maintained at 85°-90°C., to a volume of 10 cc. and treat the residue with about 5 grams of fine sand and 5 cc. of milk of lime (containing the equivalent of 15 grams of calcium oxid). Proceed from this point as directed under XIX, 6, be- ginning with the clause ‘evaporate almost to dryness, with frequent stirring’’. Observe the precautions given concerning the temperature at which all evapora- tions are to be made. 9 GLYCEROL IN SWEET WINES.—TENTATIVE. With wines whose extract exceeds 5 grams per 100 cc., heat 100 cc. to boiling in a flask and treat with successive small portions of milk of lime until the wine be- comes first darker and then lighter in color. Cool, add 200 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume, allow the precipitate to subside, filter and wash with 95% alcohol. Treat the combined filtrate and washings as directed in 7 or 8. 10 GLYCEROL-ALCOHOL RATIO.—TENTATIVE. Express this ratio as x : 100, in which x is obtained by multiplying the percentage by weight of glycerol by 100 and dividing the result by the percentage of alcohol by weight. EXTRACT. 11 From the Specific Gravity of the Dealcoholized Wine.—Tentative. Calculate the specific gravity of the dealcoholized wine by the following formula: 8S =G+1 -—A in which S = specific gravity of the dealcoholized wine; G = specific gravity of the wine, 3; and A = specific gravity of the distillate obtained in the determination of alco- hol, 4 (a). XVI] WINES 237 From IX, 9, ascertain the per cent by weight of extract in the dealcoholized wine corresponding to the value of S. Multiply the figure thus obtained by the value of S to obtain the grams of extract per 100 cc. of wine. 12 By Evaporation.—Tentative. (a) In dry wines, having an extract content of less than 3 grams per 100 cc.—Evapo- rate 50 ec. of the sample on a water bath to a sirupy consistency in a 75 ce. flat- bottomed platinum dish, approximately 85 mm. in diameter. Heat the residue for 23 hours in a drying oven at the temperature of boiling water, cool in a desicca- tor and weigh as soon as the dish and contents reach room temperature. (b) In sweet wines.—When the extract content is between 3 and 6 grams per 100 cc., treat 25 cc. of the sample as directed under (a). When the extract exceeds 6 grams per 100 cc., however, the result, obtained as directed under 11, is accepted and no gravimetric determination is attempted. This is because of the serious error connected with drying levulose at high tempera- ture. 13 NON-SUGAR SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Determine the non-sugar solids (sugar-free extract) by subtracting the amount of reducing sugars before inversion, 14, from the extract, 11 or 12. If sucrose is present in the wine, determine the non-sugar solids by subtracting the sum of re- ducing sugars before inversion and the sucrose from the extract. 14 REDUCING SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. (a) Dry wines.—Place 200 cc. of the wine in a porcelain dish, exactly neutralize with N/1 sodium hydroxid, calculating the amount required from the determina- tion of acidity, 25, and evaporate to about one fourth the original volume. Trans- fer to a 200 cc. flask, add sufficient neutral lead acetate solution to clarify, dilute to the mark with water, shake and filter through a folded filter. Remove the lead with dry potassium oxalate and determine reducing sugars as directed under VII, (b) Sweet wines—In the case of sweet wines approximate the sugar content by subtracting 2 from the result in the determination of the extract and employ such a quantity of the sample that the aliquot taken for the copper reduction shall not exceed 245 mg. of invert sugar. Proceed as directed in (a) except that this smaller quantity of the sample is taken for the determination. SUCROSE. 15 By Reducing Sugars Before and After Inversion.—Tentative. Proceed as directed under VIII, 18, using the method given under VIII, 25, for the determination of reducing sugars. 16 By Polarization.—Tentative. Polarize part of the filtrate, obtained in 14, before and after inversion in a 200 mm. tube as directed under VIII, 14 or 16. In calculating the percentage of sucrose the relation of the amount of sample contained in 100 cc. to the normal weight must be taken into consideration. 17 COMMERCIAL GLUCOSE.—TENTATIVE. Polarize a portion of the filtrate, obtained in 14, after inversion in a 200 mm. jacketed tube at 87°C. as directed under IX, 25. In calculating the per- 238 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. centage of glucose the relation of the amount of sample contained in 100 cc. to the normal weight for the instrument must be taken into consideration. 1 8 ASH.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 4, employing the residue from 50 ce. of the wine. 19 ASH-EXTRACT RATIO.—TENTATIVE. Express results as 1: x, in which x is the quotient obtained by dividing the grams of extract per 100 cc. by the grams of ash per 100 cc. 20 ALKALINITY OF THE WATER-SOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Extract the ash, obtained as directed under 18, with successive small portions of hot water until the filtrate amounts to about 60 cc. and proceed as directed under IX, 18. Express the alkalinity in terms of the number of cc. of N/10 acid required to neutralize the water-soluble ash from 100 cc. of the wine. ?1 ALKALINITY OF THE WATER-INSOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Ignite the filter and residue from 20 in the platinum dish in which the wine was ashed, and proceed as directed under IX, 19. Express the alkalinity in terms of the number of cc. of N/10 acid required to neutralize the water-insoluble ash from 100 ec. of the wine. 22 PHOSPHORIC ACID.—TENTATIVE. Dissolve the ash, obtained as directed under 18, in 50 cc. of boiling nitric acid (1 to 9), filter, wash the filter and determine phosphoric acid in the combined filtrate and washings, as directed in I, 6 or 9. If the ash ignites without difficulty, no free phosphoric acid need be suspected. Should there be any free acid, the ash remains black even after repeated leaching. In such cases calcium acetate or a mixture containing 3 parts of sodium carbonate and 1 of sodium nitrate should be added to avoid loss of phosphoric acid before attempting to ash. 23 SULPHURIC ACID,—TENTATIVE. Precipitate directly the sulphuric acid in 50 cc. of the wine by means of barium chlorid solution, after acidifying with a small excess of hydrochloric acid, and de- termine the resulting barium sulphate as directed under II, 20. Allow the precipi- tate to stand for at least 6 hours before filtering. Report as sulphur trioxid (SOs). 24 CHLORIN.—TENTATIVE. To 100 cc. of dry wine or 50 cc. of sweet wine add sufficient sodium carbonate to make distinctly alkaline. Evaporate to dryness, ignite at a heat not above low redness, cool, extract the residue with hot water, acidify the water extract with nitric acid and determine chlorin as directed under III, 15. 25 TOTAL ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Measure 20 cc. of the wine into a 250 cc. beaker, heat rapidly to incipient boiling and immediately titrate with N/10 sodium hydroxid. Determine the end point with neutral 0.05% azolitmin solution as an outside indicator. Place the indicator in the cavities of a spot plate and spot the wine into the azolitmin solution. The end point is reached when the color of the indicator remains unchanged by the addition of a few drops of N/10 alkali to the wine. XVI] WINES 239 In the case of wines which are artificially colored and which cannot be satis- factorily titrated in the above manner, it will be found helpful to use phenolphthalein powder (1 part of phenolphthalein mixed with 100 parts of dry, powdered potassium sulphate) as an indicator. Place this indicator in the cavities of a spot plate and spot the wine into the powder. The end of the titration is indicated when the pow- der acquires a pink tint. Express the result in terms of tartaric acid. One cc. of N/10 sodium hydroxid is equivalent to 0.0075 gram of tartaric acid. VOLATILE ACIDS. 26 Method I.—Tentative. Heat rapidly to incipient boiling 50 cc. of the wine in a 500 ce. distillation flask and pass steam through until 15 cc. of the distillate require only 2 drops of N/10 sodium hydroxid for neutralization. The water used to generate the steam should be boiled several minutes before connecting the steam generator with the distilla- tion flask in order to expel carbon dioxid. Titrate rapidly with N/10 sodium hy- droxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. The color should remain about 10 seconds. Express the result as acetic acid. One cc. of N/10 sodium hydroxid is equivalent to 0.0060 gram of acetic acid. 27 Method IT. (Hortvet Method*)—Tentative. FIG. 8. APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF VOLATILE ACIDS. Introduce 10 cc. of the wine, previously freed from carbon dioxid, into the inner tube of a modified Sellier distillation apparatus (Fig. 8), add a small piece of paraf- fin to prevent foaming, and adjust the tube and its contents in place within the larger flask containing 100 ec. of recently boiled water. Connect with a condenser as il- lustrated in Fig. 8 and distil by heating the outer flask. When 50 cc. of the distillate have been collected, empty the receiver into a beaker and titrate with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Continue the distillation and titrate each succeeding 10 cc. of distillate until not more than 1 drop of standard alkali is required to reach the neutral point. Usually 80 cc. of distillate will con- tain all the volatile acid. 240 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 98 FIXED ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Multiply the amount of volatile acids by 1.25 and subtract this from the total acids, to obtain the amount of fixed acids, expressed as tartaric acid. 29 TOTAL TARTARIC ACID‘*.—TENTATIVE. Neutralize 100 cc. of the wine with N/1 sodium hydroxid, calculating from the acidity, 25, the number of cc. of N/1 alkali necessary for the neutralization. If the volume of the solution is increased more than 10% by the addition of the alkali, evaporate to approximately 100 cc. Add to the neutralized solution 0.075 gram of tartaric acid for each cc. of N/1 alkali added and, after the tartaric acid has dis- solved, add 2 cc. of glacial acetic acid and 15 grams of potassium chlorid. After the potassium chlorid has dissolved, add 15 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume, stir vigorously until the potassium bitartrate starts to precipitate, and then let stand in an ice box for at least 15 hours. Decant the liquid from the separated potassium bitartrate on a Gooch, prepared with a very thin film of asbestos, or on filter paper in a Biichner funnel. Wash the precipitate and filter 3 times with a few cc. of a mixture of 15 grams of potassium chlorid, 20 ce. of 95% alcohol by volume and 100 cc. of water, using not more than 20 cc. of the wash solution in all. Transfer the asbestos or paper and precipitate to the beaker in which the precipitation was made, wash out the Gooch or Biichner funnel with hot water, using about 50 ce. in all, heat to boiling and titrate the hot solution with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Increase the number of cc. of N/10 alkali re- quired by 1.5 cc. to allow for the solubility of the precipitate. One cc. of N/10 alkali is equivalent, under these conditions, to 0.015 gram of tartaric acid. Subtract the amount of tartaric acid added from this result to obtain the grams of total tartaric acid per 100 cc. of the wine. 30 FREE TARTARIC ACID AND CREAM OF TARTAR*®.—TENTATIVE. Calculate the free tartaric acid and cream of tartar in the following manner: Let A = total tartaric acid in 100 cc. of wine divided by 0.015; B = total alkalinity of the ash (sum of C and D); C = alkalinity of water-soluble ash; D = alkalinity of water-insoluble ash. Then (1) If A is greater than B, Cream of tartar = 0.0188 < C; and Free tartaric acid = 0.015 & (A-B). (2) If A equals B or is smaller than B but greater than C, Cream of tartar = 0.0188 X C; and Free tartaric acid = 0. (3) If A is smaller than C, Cream of tartar = 0.0188 X A; and Free tartaric acid = 0. TANNIN AND COLORING MATTER.—OFFICIAL. 31 REAGENTS. oye (a) N/10 oxalic acid.—One cc. is equivalent to 0.004157 gram of tannin. "4 (b) Standard potassium permanganate solution.—Dissolve 1.333 grams of potas: sium permanganate in 1 liter of water and standardize the solution against (a). XVI] WINES 241 (Cc) Indigo solution.—Dissolve 6 grams of sodium sulphindigotate in 500 cc. of water by heating; cool, add 50 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid, make up to 1 liter and filter. (d) Purified boneblack*®.—Boil 100 grams of finely powdered boneblack with suc- cessive portions of hydrochloric acid (1 to 3), filter and wash with boiling water until free from chlorin. Keep covered with water. 32 DETERMINATION?. Dealcoholize 100 cc. of the wine by evaporation and dilute with water to the original volume. Transfer 10 cc. to a 2 liter porcelain dish; add about a liter of water and exactly 20 cc. of the indigo solution. Add the standard potassium permanganate solution, 1 cc. at a time, until the blue color changes to green; then add a few drops at a time until the color becomes golden yellow. Designate the number of cc. of permanganate solution used as ‘‘a’’. Treat 10 cc. of the dealcoholized wine, prepared as above, with boneblack for 15 minutes; filter and wash the boneblack thoroughly with water. Add a liter of water and 20 cc. of the indigo solution and titrate with permanganate as above. Designate the number of cc. of permanganate used as ‘“‘b’’. Then a—b=c, the number of cc. of the permanganate solution required for the oxidation of the tannin and coloring matter in 10 cc. of the wine. 33 CRUDE PROTEIN.—TENTATIVE. Determine nitrogen in 50 ce. of the wine, as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, and multiply the result by 6.25. 34 PENTOSANS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed in VIII, 64, except that 100 cc. of the wine and 43 ce. of hy- drochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.19) are used in beginning the distillation. Owing to the interference of sugars this determination can be made in dry wines only. 35 GUM AND DEXTRIN.—TENTATIVE. Evaporate 100 cc. of the wine to about 10 cc. and add 10 cc. of 96% alcohol by volume. If gum or dextrin be present (indicated by the formation of a voluminous precipitate), continue the addition of alcohol, slowly and with stirring, until 100 ec. have been added. Let stand overnight, filter, and wash with 80% alcohol by volume. Dissolve the precipitate on the paper with hot water, hydrolyze the filtrate and washings with hydrochloric acid and proceed as directed under VIII, 60. 36 NITRATES.—TENTATIVE. (a) White wine.—Treat a few drops of the wine in a porcelain dish with 2-3 ce. of concentrated sulphuric acid, which contains about 0.1 gram of diphenylamin® per 100 cc. The deeplue color formed in the presence of nitrates appears so quickly that it is not obscured, even in sweet wine, by the blackening produced by the ac- tion of sulphuric acid on the sugar. (b) Red wine.—Clarify with basic lead acetate, filter, remove the excess of lead from the filtrate with sodium sulphate, filter again and treat a few drops of this filtrate as directed under (@). 37 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE.

The detection of added boric acid is somewhat difficult because a small amount of it is normally present in certain wines. Therefore, a quantitative determina- tion should be made. The determination of sulphurous acid must also be quanti- tative. A small amount of salicylic acid is also normal in wine, and for that reason not more than 50 cc. of the sample should be used in testing for that preservative. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1U. 8. Bur.

DISTILLED LIQUORS. 1 SPECIFIC GRAVITY.—TENTATIVE. 20°C. 4° Determine the specific gravity at by means of a pycnometer or a small, accurately graduated hydrometer. 2 ALCOHOL BY WEIGHT.—OFFICIAL. Weigh 20-25 grams of the sample into a distillation flask, dilute with 100 cc. of water, distil nearly 100 cc. and weigh the distillate or make to volume at 20°C. and in either case, determine the specific gravity as directed under 1. Obtain the corre- sponding percentage of alcohol by weight from XVI, 5, multiply this figure by the weight of the distillate, and divide by the weight of the sample taken to obtain the per cent of alcohol by weight. The alcohol content of the distillate may be checked by determining the immer- sion refractometer reading and obtaining, from XVI, 6, the percentage of alcohol. ALCOHOL BY VOLUME. 3 Method I.—Official. From the specific gravity of the distillate, obtained under 2, ascertain the cor- responding percentage of alcohol by volume from XVI, 5. Multiply this figure by the volume of distillate and divide by the volume of the sample (calculated from the specific gravity) to obtain the percentage of alcohol by volume in the original sample. 4 Method II.—Tentative. Measure 25 cc. of the sample at 20°C. into a distillation flask, dilute with 100 ec. of water, distil nearly 100 cc., make to volume at 20°C. and determine the spe- cific gravity as directed in 1. Obtain, from XVI, 5, the corresponding percentage of alcohol by volume in the distillate. Multiply by 4 to obtain the percentage of alcohol by volume in the original substance. The alcohol content of the distillate may be checked by determining the immer- sion refractometer reading and obtaining the percentage of alcohol from XVI, 6. 5 EXTRACT.—OFFICIAL. Weigh, or measure at 20°C., 100 cc. of the sample, evaporate nearly to dryness on the water bath, then transfer to a water oven, and dry at the temperature of boiling water for 23 hours. 6 ASH.— OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under VIII, 4, employing the residue from the determination of the extract, 5. 7 ACIDITY. TENTATIVE. Titrate 100 cc. of the sample (or 50 cc. diluted to 100 cc. if the sample is dark) with N/10 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Express the result as acetic acid; 1 cc. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0060 gram of acetic acid. 243 244 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 8 ESTERS.—TENTATIVE. Measure 200 ce. of the sample into a distillation flask, add 25 ce. of water and distil slowly 200 cc., using a mercury valve to prevent loss of alcohol. Exactly neutralize the free acid in 50 ce. of the distillate with N/10 alkali, add a measured excess of 25-50 ec. of N/10 alkali, and either boil for an hour under a reflux con- denser, cool and titrate with N/10 acid, or allow the solution to stand overnight in a stoppered flask with the excess of alkali, heat with a tube condenser for 30 min- utes at a temperature below the boiling point, cool and titrate. Calculate the number of ec. of N/10 alkali used in the saponification of the esters as ethyl acetate; 1 ce. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0088 gram of ethyl acetate. Runablank using water in place of the distillate and make any necessary correction. ALDEHYDES.—TENTATIVE. g REAGENTS. (a) Aldehyde-free alcohol_—Redistil 95% alcohol over sodium or potassium hy- droxid, then add 2-3 grams per liter of meta-phenylendiamin hydrochlorid, digest at ordinary temperature for several days (or reflux on a steam bath for several hours) and then distil slowly, rejecting the first 100 cc. and the last 200 ce. of the distillate. (b) Sulphite-fuchsin solution—Dissolve 0.50 gram of pure fuchsin in 500 ce. of water, then add 5 grams of sulphur dioxid dissolved in water, make up to 1 liter and allow to stand until colorless. This solution does not keep indefinitely; there- fore, prepare in small quantities and keep at a low temperature. (C) Standard acetaldehyde solution—Prepare according to the directions of Vasey! as follows: Grind aldehyde ammonia in a mortar with anhydrous ether and decant the ether. Repeat this operation several times, then dry the purified salt ina current of air and finally in vacuo over sulphuric acid. Dissolve 1.386 grams of this purified aldehyde ammonia in 50 ce. of 95% alcohol by volume, add 22.7 ec. of N/1 alcoholic sulphuric acid, then make up to 100 ce. and add 0.8 ce. of aleohol for the volume of the ammonium sulphate precipitate. Allow the mixture to stand overnight and filter. This solution contains 1 gram of acetaldehyde in 100 ec. and will retain its strength. The standard found most convenient for use is 2 ec. of this strong aldehyde solution diluted to 100 ce. with 50% alcohol by volume. One ce. of this solution is equivalent to 0.0002 gram of acetaldehyde. This solution should be made up fresh every day or so, as it loses strength. 10 DETERMINATION. Determine the aldehyde in the distillate, prepared as directed under 8. Dilute 5-10 ec. of the distillate to 50 cc. with aldehyde-free alcohol 50% by volume, add 25 ce. of the sulphite-fuchsin solution and allow to stand for 15 minutes at 15°C. The solutions and reagents should be at 15°C. when they are mixed. Prepare standards of known strength and blanks in the same way. The comparison standards found most convenient for use contain 0.0001, 0.0002, 0.0004, 0.0005 and 0.0006 gram of acetaldehyde. FURFURAL.—TENTATIVE. 11 REAGENTS. (a) Standard furfural solution—Dissolve 1 gram of redistilled furfural in 100 ec. of 95% alcohol by volume. Standards are made by diluting 1 ce. of this solu- XVII] DISTILLED LIQUORS 245 tion to 100 ec. with 50% alcohol by volume. One cc. of this solution contains 0.0001 gram of furfural. (b) Furfural-free alcohol.—Prepare as directed in 9 (a). 12 DETERMINATION. Dilute 10-20 cc. of the distillate, as prepared under 8, to 50 cc. with furfural- free alcohol, 50% by volume. Add 2 cc. of colorless anilin and 0.5 ce. of hydro- chloric acid (sp. gr. 1.125) and keep for 15 minutes in a water bath at about 15°C. Prepare standards of known strength and blanks in the same way. The compari- son standards found most convenient for use contain 0.00005, 0.0001, 0.00015, 0.0002, 0.00025 and 0.0003 gram of furfural. FUSEL OIL.—TENTATIVE. 13 REAGENTS. (a) Purified carbon tetrachlorid.—Mix crude carbon tetrachlorid with one tenth its volume of concentrated sulphuric acid, shake thoroughly at frequent intervals and allow to stand overnight. Wash free of acid and impurities with tap water. Remove the water, add an excess of sodium hydroxid solution and distil the carbon tetrachlorid from it. (b) Oxidizing solution.—Disssolve 100 grams of potassium dichromate in 900 ec. of water and add 100 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid. 14 DETERMINATION. (1) To 100 ce. of the sample add 20 cc. cf N/2 sodium hydroxid and saponify the mixture by boiling for an hour under a reflux condenser; or, (2) Mix 100 cc. of the liquor with 20 cc. of N/2 sodium hydroxid, allow to stand overnight at room tem- perature and distil directly. Connect the flask with a distillation apparatus, distil 90 cc., add 25 cc. of water and continue the distillation until an additional 25 cc. are collected. Whenever aldehydes are present in excess of 15 parts per 100,000, add to the dis- tillate 0.5 gram of meta-phenylendiamin hydrochlorid, reflux for an hour, distil 100 ec., add 25 cc. of water and continue the distillation until an additional 25 ce. are collected. Approximately saturate the distillate with finely ground sodium chlorid and add saturated sodium chlorid solution until the specific gravity is 1.10. Extract this salt solution 4 times with the purified carbon tetrachlorid, using 40, 30, 20 and 10 cc., respectively, and wash the carbon tetrachlorid 3 times with 50 cc. portions of saturated sodium chlorid solution, and twice with saturated sodium sulphate solution. Then transfer the carbon tetrachlorid to a flask containing 50 ec. of the oxidizing solution and boil for 8 hours under a reflux condenser. Add 30 ce. of water and distil until only about 20 cc. remain; add 80 cc. of water and again distil until 15-20 cc. are left. Neutralize the distillate to methyl orange, and titrate with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. If the distillations have been properly conducted, the distillate will not show a marked acid reaction to methyl orange. Should considerably more than 1 ce. of N/10 alkali be consumed at this point, the result will be unreliable and the deter- mination should be repeated. One cc. of N/10 sodium hydroxid is equivalent to 0.0088 gram of amyl alcohol. Rubber stoppers can be used in the saponification and first distillation, but corks covered with tinfoil must be used in the oxidation and second distillation. Corks and tinfoil must be renewed frequently. 246 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Conduct a blank determination upon 100 cc. of carbon tetrachlorid beginning the blank at that point of the procedure immediately after the extraction and just before the washings with sodium chlorid and sodium sulphate solutions. 1 5 SUGARS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XVI, 15, 16 or 17. METHYL ALCOHOL. 16 Trillat Method?.—Tentative. To 50 cc. of the sample add 50 cc. of water and 8 grams of lime and fractionate by the aid of Glinsky bulb tubes. Dilute the first 15 cc. of the distillate to 150 cc., mix with 15 grams of potassium dichromate and 70 cc. of sulphuric acid (1 to 5), and allow to stand for an hour with occasional shaking. 5 Distil, reject the first 25 cc. and collect 100 cc. Mix 50 ce. of the distillate with 1 ce. of redistilled dimethylanilin, transfer to a stout, tightly stoppered flask, and keep on a bath at 70°-80°C. for 3 hours with occasional shaking. Make distinctly alkaline with sodium hydroxid solution, and distil off the excess of dimethylanilin, stopping the distillation when 25 cc. have passed over. Acidify the residue in the flask with acetic acid, shake and test a few cc. by add- ing 4 or 5 drops of 1% suspension of lead dioxid. If methyl alcohol is present, a blue coloration occurs which is increased by boiling. Ethyl alcohol thus treated yields a blue coloration changing immediately to green, later to yellow, and becoming colorless when boiled. 17 Riche and Bardy Method?.—Tentative. The following method for the detection of methyl alcohol in commercial spirit of wine depends on the formation of methylanilin violet: Place 10 cc. of the sample, previously redistilled over potassium carbonate if necessary, in a small flask with 15 grams of iodin and 2 grams of red phosphorus. Keep in ice water for 10-15 minutes until action has ceased. Distil off, on a water bath, the methyl and ethyl iodids formed into about 30 cc. of water. Wash with dilute alkali to eliminate free iodin. Separate the heavy, oily liquid which settles and transfer to a flask containing 5 ce. of anilin. Ifthe action be too violent, place the flask in cold water; if too slow, stimulate by gently warming the flask. After an’ hour boil the product with water and add about 20 ce. of 15% sodium hydroxid solution; when the bases rise to the top as an oily layer, fill the flask up to the neck with water and draw them off with a pipette. Oxidize 1 cc. of the oily liquid by adding 10 grams of a mixture of 100 parts of clean sand, 2 of common salt, and 3 of cupric nitrate; mix thoroughly, transfer to a glass tube, and heat to 90°C. for 8-10 hours. Exhaust the product with warm alcohol, filter and make up to 100 cc. with alcohol. If the sample of spirits is pure, the liquid has a red tint, but, in the presence of 1% of methyl alcohol, it has a distinct violet shade; with 2.5% the shade is very distinct, and still more so with 5%. To detect more minute quan- tities of methyl alcohol, dilute 5 cc. of the colored liquid to 100 cc. with water, and dilute 5 cc. of this again to 400 ce. Heat the liquid thus obtained in a porcelain dish and immerse in it a fragment of white merino (free from sulphur) for 30 min- utes. If the alcohol is pure, the wool will remain white, but, if methyl alcohol is present, the fiber will become violet, the depth of tint giving a fairly approximate indication of the proportion of methyl alcohol present. XVII] DISTILLED LIQUORS 247 18 Immersion Refractometer Method. (Leach and Lythgoe*)—Tentative. Determine by the immersion refractometer at 20°C. the refraction of the distil- late obtained in the determination of alcohol. If, on reference to the table under 19, the refraction shows the percentage of alcohol agreeing with that obtained from the specific gravity, it may safely be assumed that no methyl alcohol is present. If, however, there is an appreciable amount of methyl alcohol, the low refractome- ter reading will at once indicate the fact. Jf the absence from the solution of re- fractive substances other than water and the alcohols is assured, this difference in refraction is conclusive of the presence of methyl alcohol. The addition of methyl alcohol to ethyl alcohol decreases the refraction in direct proportion to the amount present; hence the quantitative calculation is readily made by interpolation in the table under 19, using the figures for pure ethyl and methyl! alcohol of the same alcoholic strength as the sample. Example.—The distillate has a specific gravity of 0.97080, corresponding to 18.38% alcohol by weight, and has a refraction of 35.8 at 20°C. by the immersion refractometer; by interpolation in the refractometer table the readings of ethyl and methyl alcohol corresponding to 18.38% alcohol are 47.3 and 25.4, respectively, the difference being 21.9; 47.3 — 35.8 = 11.5; (11.5 + 21.9) 100 = 52.5, showing that 52.5% of the total alcohol present is methyl alcohol. 19 TABLE 18.

Dissolve the residue in water and 95% alcohol by volume and make to a volume of 50 ce., using a total volume of 26.3 ee. of 95% alcohol. Place 25 ce. of this solution in a separatory funnel and add 20 cc. of freshly shaken Marsh reagent (100 ce. of pure amyl alco- hol, 3 cc. of sirupy phosphoric acid and 8 ec. of water), shaking lightly so as not to form an emulsion. Allow the layers to separate and repeat this shaking and stand- ing twice again. After the layers have separated completely draw off the lower or aqueous layer, which contains the caramel, into a 25 ec. cylinder and make up to volume with 50% alcohol by volume. Compare this solution in a colorimeter with the untreated 25 cc. Calculate the result of this reading to the per cent of color insoluble in amyl alcohol.

Obtain from XVI, 5, the per cent by volume, or eat per 100 cc., noting that the alcoholic strength of the distillate is twice that of the original vinegar. GLYCEROL.—TENTATIVE. 5 REAGENTS. (a) Strong potassium dichromate solution.—Dissolve 74.56 grams of dry, recrystal- lized potassium dichromate in water, add 150 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid, cool and make up to 1 liter at 20°C. One ce. of this solution is equivalent to 0.01 gram of glycerol. The high coefficient of expansion of this strong solution necessi- tates its preparation at exactly 20°C. and the measurement of any definite volume at the same temperature. If desired, the measurements may be made at room temperature by means of a weighing burette, the volume used in this case being ascertained by dividing the weight of the solution used by its specific gravity at 20°C. Ore (b) Dilute potassium dichromate solution.—Measure 25 ce. of the strong potas- sium dichromate solution at exactly 20°C. into a 500 ce. volumetric flask, dilute with water and make up to the mark at room temperature. Twenty cc. of this solution are equivalent to 1 cc. of (&). (C) Ferrous ammonium sulphate solution.—Dissolve 30 grams of crystallized fer- rous ammonium sulphate in water, add 50 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid, cool and dilute at room temperature. One cc. of this solution is approximately equiva- lent to 1 cc. of (b). Its value changes slightly from day to day and it must be standardized against (b) whenever used. (d) Potassium ferricyanid indicator.—Dissolve 1 gram of crystallized potassium ferricyanid in 50 ce. of water. This solution must be freshly prepared. (@) Milk of lime.—Introduce 150 grams of calcium oxid, selected from clean, hard lumps, prepared preferably from marble, into a large porcelain or iron dish, slake with water, cool and add sufficient water to make 1 liter. 253 254 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (f) Silver carbonate.—Dissolve 0.1 gram of silver sulphate in about 50 cc. of water, add an excess of sodium carbonate solution, allow the precipitate to settle and wash with water several times by decantation until the washings are practically neutral. This reagent must be freshly prepared immediately before use. 6 DETERMINATION. All evaporations should be made on a water bath, the temperature of which is main- tained at 85°-90°C. Evaporate 100 ce. of the vinegar to 5 cc., add 20 ec. of water and again evaporate to 5 ec. to expel acetic acid. Treat the residue with about 5 grams of fine sand and 15 ce. of the milk of lime and evaporate almost to dryness, with frequent stirring, avoiding the formation of a dry crust or evaporation to complete dryness. Treat the moist residue with 5 ce. of water, rub into a homogeneous paste, then add slowly 45 ec. of absolute alcohol, washing down the sides of the dish to remove adhering paste, and stir thoroughly. Heat the mixture on a water bath, with constant stirring, to incipient boiling, transfer to a suitable vessel and centrifu- galize. Decant the clear liquid into a porcelain dish and wash the residue with several small portions of hot 90% aleohol by volume by aid of the centrifuge. (1f a centrifuge is not available, decant the liquid through a fluted filter into a porcelain dish. Wash the residue repeatedly with small portions of hot 90% aleo- hol, twice by decantation, and then by transferring all the material to the filter. Continue the washing until the filtrate amounts to 150 ce.) Evaporate to a sirupy consistency, add 10 cc. of absolute alcohol to dissolve this residue and transfer to a 50 ee. glass-stoppered cylinder, washing the dish with successive small portions of absolute alcohol until the volume of the solution amounts to 20 ce. Then add 3 portions of 10 ec. each of anhydrous ether, shaking thoroughly after each addi- tion. Let stand until clear, then pour off through a filter, and wash the eylinder and filter with a mixture of 2 volumes of absolute alcohol and 3 of anhydrous ether. lf a heavy precipitate has formed in the cylinder, centrifugalize at low speed, de- cant the clear liquid and wash 8 times with 20 ee. portions of the alcohol-ether mixture, shaking the mixture thoroughly each time and separating the precipitate by means of the centrifuge. Wash the paper with the aleohol-ether mixture, and evaporate the filtrate and washings on the water bath to about 5 ec., add 20 ce. of water and again evaporate to 5 ec.; again add 20 ce. of water and evaporate to 5 ec.; finally add 10 ce. of water and evaporate to 5 ce. These evaporations are necessary to remove all the ether and alcohol, and, when conducted at 85°-90°C., result in no loss of glycerol if the concentration of the latter is less than 50%. Transfer the residue with hot water to a 50 cc. graduated flask, cool, add the silver carbonate, prepared from 0.1 gram of silver sulphate, shake and allow to stand 10 minutes; then add 0.5 ce. of basic lead acetate solution [ VIII, 13 (a)], shake occasionally and allow to stand 10 minutes; make up to the mark, shake well, filter, rejecting the first portion of the filtrate, and pipette 25 ce. of the clear filtrate into a 250 ee. volumetric flask. Add 1 ee. of concentrated sulphuric acid to precipitate the excess of lead and then 30 ce. of the strong potassium dichromate solution. Add carefully 24 ce. of concentrated sulphuric acid, rotating the flask gently to mix the contents and avoid violent ebullition, and then place in a boiling water bath for exactly 20 minutes. Remove the flask from the bath, dilute, cool and make up to the mark at room tem- perature. The amount of strong dichromate solution used must be sufficient to XIX] VINEGARS 255 leave an excess of about 12.5 cc. at the end of the oxidation, the amount given above (30 cc.) being sufficient for ordinary vinegar containing about 0.35 gram or less of glycerol per 100 ce. Standardize the ferrous ammonium sulphate solution against the dilute potas- sium dichromate solution by introducing from the respective burettes approxi- mately 20 ec. of each of the 2 solutions into a beaker containing 100 ec. of water. Complete the titration using the potassium ferricyanid solution as an outside indi- eator. From this titration calculate the volume (/’) of the ferrous ammonium sul- phate solution equivalent to 20 cc. of the dilute and also, therefore, to 1 ce. of the strong dichromate solution. In place of the dilute dichromate solution, substitute a burette containing the oxidized glycerol with an excess of the strong dichromate solution and ascertain how many cc. are equivalent to (F) ce. of the ferrous ammonium sulphate solution and also, therefore, to 1 ce. of the strong dichromate solution. Then 250 divided by this last equivalent equals the number of cc. of the strong dichromate solution pres- ent in excess in the 250 ce. flask after oxidation of the glycerol. The number of ce. of the strong dichromate solution added, minus the excess found after oxidation, multiplied by 0.02 gives the grams of glycerol per 100 ce. of vinegar. Y 6 SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Measure 10 ce. of the sample into a tared, flat-bottomed platinum dish of 50 mm. bottom diameter, evaporate on a boiling water bath for 30 minutes, and dry for exactly 2} hours in a water oven at the temperature of boiling water. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. It is essential that the size and shape of the dish and the time of drying be followed strictly. 8 TOTAL REDUCING SUBSTANCES BEFORE INVERSION.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 25, using 10 ce. of the sample. In the case of malt vinegar, express the results as dextrose; in all other cases as invert sugar. 9 REDUCING SUGARS BEFORE INVERSION AFTER EVAPORATION.—TENTATIVE. Evaporate 50 ce. of the sample on the water bath to a volume of 5 ce. Add 25 ec. of water and again evaporate to 5 ce. Transfer toa 100 ec. volumetric flask, make up to the mark, and proceed as directed under 8, using a quantity equivalent to 10 or 20 ee. of the sample. 10 REDUCING SUGARS AFTER INVERSION.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 9. After the last evaporation to 5 ce. transfer toa 100 ec. volumetric flask with 70 ce. of water, and invert as directed under VIII, 14. Nearly neutralize with sodium hydroxid solution, make up to the mark and proceed as directed under VIII, 25, using a quantity equivalent to 10 or 20 ce. of the sample. 11 LEAD PRECIPITATE.—TENTATIVE. To 10 cc. of the sample in a test tube, add 2 cc. of 20% lead acetate solution, shake and let stand 30 minutes. Describe the precipitate as turbid, light, normal, heavy or very heavy. 12 POLARIZATION.—TENTATIVE. lf the lead precipitate is normal, add to 50 ce. of the sample 5 ec. of basic lead acetate solution [ VIII, 13 (a)], shake, let stand 30 minutes, filter and polarize, 256 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. preferably in a 200 mm. tube, correcting for dilution. If basic lead acetate gives only a turbidity, add to the sample, already treated with basic lead acetate, 10 ce. of alumina cream [VIII, 13 (b)], shake, let stand 30 minutes, filter and polarize, correcting for dilution. In the case of malt vinegar, treat 100 cc. of the sample with 5 ec. of 10% phosphotungstic acid solution and filter. To 50 ce. of the filtrate add 5 ec. of the basic lead acetate solution, filter and polarize, correcting the reading obtained for dilution. 13 ASH.—TENTATIVE. (a) Measure 25 cc. of the vinegar into a tared platinum dish, evaporate to dry- ness on the steam bath and proceed as directed under VIII, 4. (b) Evaporate 25 cc. of the sample to dryness as directed under (a), heat in a muffle at low heat to expel inflammable gases, treat the charred portion with a few ec. of water, and evaporate to dryness on a water bath; replace in the muffle at low redness for 15 minutes, and continue the alternate evaporation and heating until a white or gray ash is obtained, at no time exceeding a dull red heat; cool in a desiccator and weigh. Useful information may often be obtained by noting the odor given off by the solids during charring. 14 SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Treat the ash, obtained in 13, as directed under IX, 17. 15 ALKALINITY OF THE SOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under IX, 18, expressing the result as the number of cc. of N/10 hydrochloric acid required to neutralize the soluble ash from 100 ce. of the vinegar. 16 SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID.—TENTATIVE. Determine phosphoric acid in the water-soluble and water-insoluble portions of the ash as directed under I, 9, dissolving the water-insoluble portion in about 50 cc. of boiling nitric acid (1 to 9). Express the result as mg. of phosphorus pentoxid (P20;) in 100 cc. of the vinegar. 17 TOTAL ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Dilute 10 ce. of the sample with recently boiled and cooled water until it appears very slightly colored, and titrate with N/2 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. One cc. of N/2 alkali is equivalent to 0.030 gram of acetic acid. 18 FIXED ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Measure 10 ce. of the vinegar into a 200 cc. porcelain casserole, evaporate just to dryness, add 5-10 cc. of water, and again evaporate; repeat until at least 5 evapora- tions have taken place. Add about 200 cc. of recently boiled and cooled water and titrate with N/10 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. One cc. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0067 gram of malic acid. 19 VOLATILE ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. To obtain the volatile acids subtract the fixed acids, calculated as acetic acid, from the total acids. XIX] VINEGARS 257 20 COLOR.—TENTATIVE. Determine the depth of color in a Lovibond tintometer by good, reflected day- light, using a 3 inch cell and the brewer’s scale. Express the result in terms of a + inch cell. FORMIC ACID. 21 Fincke Method'.—Tentative. Employ the apparatus described under X, 39, Fig. 6. Introduce 100 cc. of the sample into flask (A), add 0.4-0.5 gram of tartaric acid, and place in position as shown in Fig. 6, the flask (B) having previously been charged with a suspension of 15 grams of calcium carbonate in 100 cc. of water. Heat the contents of flasks (A) and (B) to boiling and distil with steam from the generator (8), the vapor passing first through the sample in flask (A), then through the boiling suspension of cal- cium carbonate in flask (8), after which it is condensed and measured in the re- ceiver (C). Maintain the volume of liquid in flask (B) as nearly constant as pos- sible and reduce the volume of the sample in flask (A) to 30-40 cc. by heating with small Bunsen flames, the distillation being continued until 1 liter of distillate is collected. Disconnect the apparatus, filter the calcium carbonate suspension, and wash the calcium carbonate that remains on the paper with a little hot water. Render the filtrate faintly acid with hydrochloric acid, add 10-15 cc. of mercuric chlorid reagent | X, 38 (() |, mix and heat on a boiling water bath for 2hours. Filter on a tared Gooch, wash the precipitate thoroughly with cold water and finally with a little alcohol. Dry in a boiling water oven for 30 minutes, cool in a desiccator, weigh, and calculate the weight of formic acid present by multiplying the weight of the precipitate by 0.0975. 22 ALCOHOL PRECIPITATE.—TENTATIVE. Evaporate 100 cc. of the vinegar to about 15 cc. When there is considerable sugar in the vinegar, if the sample is evaporated to too low a volume, a gummy or stringy precipitate is formed on adding the alcohol instead of a flocculent one. When the sugar content is high, therefore, the evaporation should not be carried beyond 20 ec. To this residue add slowly and with constant stirring 200 ce. of 95% alcohol by volume and allow the mixture to stand overnight. From this point proceed as directed under XIII, 18, beginning with the sentence, ‘‘Filter and wash with 80% alcohol by volume’’. 23 PENTOSANS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed in VIII, 64, except that 100 cc. of the vinegar and 43 cc. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.19) are used in beginning the distillation. TARTARIC ACID AND TARTRATES. 24 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Evaporate 50 cc. of the vinegar in a porcelain dish to a volume of about 10 cc., filter into a test tube, add 1 cc. of 25% calcium chlorid solution and 2 cc. of 50% ammonium acetate solution and allow to stand overnight. In the presence of tar- taric acid a deposit of calcium tartrate is formed, the crystals of which may be identified under the microscope by their characteristic form. 25 ; TOTAL TARTARIC ACID.—TENTATIVE. Evaporate 200 cc. of the sample to a sirupy consistency to remove excess of acetic acid, dilute to the original volume with water in a volumetric flask, determine the 258 METHODS OF ANALYSIS acidity as directed in 17, and determine total tartaric acid in a 100 cc. aliquot as directed under XVI, 29, except that 20 cc. of alcohol are used in the precipitation instead of 15 ce. FREE MINERAL ACIDS. 26 Logwood Method?.—Tentative. Prepare an extract of logwood as follows: Pour 100 cc. of boiling water upon 2 grams of fresh logwood chips, allow the infusion to stand for a few hours and filter. Place drops of the liquid on a porcelain surface and dry on a water bath. Add to one of the spots a drop of the vinegar to be tested (after concentration if desirable) and evaporate to dryness. A yellow tint remains if free mineral acids are absent, a red tint if they are present. 27 Methyl Violet Method.—Tentative. Add 5-10 ec. of water to 5 ec. of vinegar and, after mixing well, add 4 or 5 drops of methyl violet solution (1 part of methyl violet 2B in 10,000 parts of water). A blue or green coloration indicates the presence of a free mineral acid. 28 Quantitative Method. (Hehner Method)—Tentative. To a measured amount of the sample add a measured excess of standard alkali, evaporate to dryness, incinerate and titrate the ash with standard acid, using methyl orange as an indicator. The difference between the number of ce. of alkali first added and the number of ce. of acid needed to titrate the ash represents the free mineral acid present. 29 METALS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XII. DEXTRIN. 30 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Evaporate 100 cc. of the vinegar to a volume of about 15 cc. Add slowly and with constant stirring 200 ce. of 95% alcohol by volume and allow to stand over- night. The precipitate formed should be tested for dextrin by the optical rotation and color reaction with iodin. SPICES AND ADDED PUNGENT MATERIALS. 31 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Neutralize exactly a portion of the vinegar and test by taste and smell. Agitate the liquid with ether in a separatory funnel, remove and evaporate the ethereal layer, and note the odor and taste of the residue. 32 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XI. 33 PRESERVATIVES.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under X. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1Z. Nahr. Genussm., 1911, 21:1; 22: 88. 2 Allen.

FLAVORING EXTRACTS. VANILLA EXTRACT AND ITS SUBSTITUTES. 1 SPECIFIC GRAVITY.—TENTATIVE. : : : 20°C. Determine the specific gravity at — by means of a pycnometer 2 ALCOHOL.— OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under XVII, 2 or 3. 3 GLYCEROL.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XVI, 7, 8 or 9, the method selected depending upon the amount of sugar present, employing an amount of the sample containing 0.10- 0.40 gram of glycerol. VANILLIN AND COUMARIN. Modified Hess and Prescott Method!.—Tentative. (This method is not applicable to concentrated vanillin and coumarin preparations in which the amount of vanillin and coumarin present exceeds the quantity dissolved by 100 cc. of water at 20°C. In such cases employ a smaller amount of the sample and dilute to 50 cc.) 4 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Measure 50 cc. of the extract at 20°C. into a 250 ce. beaker with marks showing volumes of 80 and 50 cc., dilute to 80 cc. and evaporate to 50 cc. on a water bath kept at 70°C. Dilute again with water to 80 cc. and evaporate to 50 cc. Transfer to a 100 ce. flask, rinsing the beaker with hot water; add 25 cc. of 8% lead acetate solu- tion; make up to the mark with water, shake and allow to stand 18 hours (over- night) at 37°-40°C. Decant into a small, dry filter, reserving the filtrate for the determination of vanillin and coumarin, the normal lead number, 6, and the residual color, 14. 5 DETERMINATION. Transfer a 50 cc. aliquot of the filtrate to a separatory funnel and extract with 4 successive 15 cc. portions of ether (previously washed twice with an equal volume of water to remove alcohol). Wash the combined ether solutions 4 or 5 times with 2% ammonium hydroxid solution (2% NH; by weight), using 10 cc. the first time and 5 cc. thereafter, and reserve the ether solution for the determination of cou- marin. Slightly acidify the combined ammoniacal solutions with hydrochloric acid; cool and extract in a separatory funnel with 4 portions of washed ether, using about 40 cc. altogether. Evaporate the ethereal solutions at room temperature, dry over sulphuric acid and weigh. lf the residue is considerably discolored or gummy, re-extract in the dry state with boiling petroleum ether (b. p. 40°C. or below) not less than 15 times; evaporate the solvent, dry and weigh. The residue should now be white, crystalline vanillin, with a melting point of approximately 259 260 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 80°C. A small amount of this residue, dissolved in 2 drops of concentrated hydro- chloric acid, should develop a pink color upon the addition of a crystal of resorcin. Evaporate at room temperature the original ether extract of the sample, from which the vanillin has been removed by means of ammonium hydroxid, and dry over sulphuric acid. The residue, if pure coumarin, should melt at approximately 67°C. and should respond to Leach’s test for coumarin as follows: A small por- tion of the residue, dissolved in not more than 0.5 cc. of hot water, should yield a brown precipitate upon the addition of a few drops of N/10 iodin. This pre- cipitate finally gathers in green flecks, leaving a clear, brown solution. The reaction is especially marked if the reagent is applied with a glass rod to a few drops of the solution on a white plate or tile. 6 NORMAL LEAD NUMBER’.—TENTATIVE. To a 10 cc. aliquot of the filtrate from the lead acetate precipitate, as obtained in 4, add 25 ce. of water, 0.5-1.0 ce. of sulphuric acid, and 100 ce. of 95% alcohol by volume. Let stand overnight, filter on a Gooch crucible, wash with 95% alcohol, dry at a moderate heat, ignite at low redness for 3 minutes, taking care to avoid the reducing flame, and weigh. Conduct a blank determination employing water containing 4 or 5 drops of glacial acetic acid in place of the sample. The normal lead number is calculated by the following formula: p= en = 13.662 (S — W) in which normal lead number (grams of metallic lead in the precipitate obtained from 100 cc. of the sample); = grams of lead sulphate corresponding to 2.5 cc. of the lead acetate solu- tion as determined in a blank analysis; and W = grams of lead sulphate obtained in 10 cc. of the filtrate from the lead acetate precipitate, as obtained in 4. ac] I 7 TOTAL SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under IX, 4, employing 10 grams of the sample. 8 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Iivaporate 10 grams of the extract and determine the ash as directed under Vill, 4. g ASH CONSTITUENTS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under III or XXVIII, 21-26, inclusive. 10 SUCROSE.—TENTATIVE. Determine as directed under VIII, 14 or 18. VANILLA RESINS. 11 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Place 50 cc. of the extract in a glass dish and evaporate the alcohol on a water bath. When the alcohol is removed, make up to about the original volume with hot water. If alkali has not been used in the manufacture of the extract, the resins will appear as a floeculent red to brown residue. Acidify with acetic acid to free the resins from the bases, separating the resins completely and leaving a partly decolorized, clear, supernatant liquid after standing a short time. Collect the resins on a filter, wash with water and reserve the filtrate for further tests. XxX] FLAVORING EXTRACTS 261 Place a portion of the filter with the attached resins in a few cc. of dilute potas- sium hydroxid solution. The resins are dissolved, giving a deep red solution; acidify, and the resins are precipitated. Dissolve a portion of the resins in alcohol. To one portion add a few drops of ferric chlorid solution; to another portion hydrochloric acid; neither produces any marked change in color. Most resins, however, in alcoholic solution give color reactions with ferric chlorid or hydrochloric acid. To a portion of the filtrate obtained above add a few drops of basic lead acetate solution. The precipitate is so bulky as to almost solidify, due to the excessive amount of organic acids, gums and other extractive matter. The filtrate from this precipitate is almost colorless. Test another portion of the filtrate from the resin for tannin with a solution of gelatin. Tannin is present in varying but small quantities, but should not be present in great excess. 12 METHYL ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XVII, 16, 17 or 18, using the distillate from the de- termination of alcohol, 2. 13 COLOR VALUE.—TENTATIVE. Pipette 2 cc. of the extract into a 50 cc. graduated flask and make up to the mark with a mixture of equal parts of 95% alcohol by volume and water. Determine the color value of this diluted extract in terms of red and yellow by means ofa Lovibond tintometer, using a linch cell. To obtain the color value of the original extract, multiply the figures for each color by 25. 14 RESIDUAL COLOR AFTER PRECIPITATION WITH LEAD ACETATE*.—TENTATIVE. Determine the color value, in terms of red and yellow, of the filtrate from the lead acetate precipitate as obtained in 4, using a 1 inch Lovibond cell. Multiply the reading by 2 to reduce the results to the basis of the original extract. If the actual reading of the solution is greater than 5 red and 15 yellow, as may happen if the extract is highly colored with caramel, a 4 or } inch cell should be employed, and the readings multiplied, respectively, by 4 or 8. Divide the figures for red and yellow, respectively, by the corresponding figures of the original extract and mul- tiply the quotients by 100, to obtain the percentages of the 2 colors remaining in the lead acetate filtrate. Calculate also the ratio of red to yellow in both extract and lead acetate filtrate. COLORS INSOLUBLE IN AMYL ALCOHOL. 15 Modified Marsh Method.—Tentative. Proceed as directed under XVII, 22, using 25 cc. of the extract and shaking with 25 ec. of the Marsh reagent instead of 20 cc. 16 COLORING MATTERS OTHER THAN CARAMEL.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XI. LEMON AND ORANGE EXTRACTS. 17 SPECIFIC GRAVITY.—TENTATIVE. : : ; 20°C. Determine the specific gravity at [.~ by means of a pyenometer. 262 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 18 ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. Dilute 50 ce. of the extract, measured at 20°C., with water to about 200 cc., allow the mixture to stand until the oil separates in a clear layer at the top, or centrifugal- ize, then make up to the mark, using the lower meniscus of the oil. Pour the mixture into a dry Erlenmeyer flask containing 5 grams of light magnesium carbonate, stopper, shake well and filter quickly through a large, dry, folded filter. Intro- duce a 150 ce. aliquot of the filtrate, measured at 20°C., into a 300-500 ce. distilla- tion flask, attach the flask to a vertical condenser and distil almost 100 cc. Com- plete the volume of the distillate to 100 cc. at 20°C., mix well and determine the specific gravity at a - Ascertain the corresponding per cent of alcohol by volume from XVI, 5 and multiply the result thus obtained by 2? to obtain the percentage of alcohol by volume in the original sample. 19 GLYCEROL.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 3. LEMON AND ORANGE OILS. 20 By Polarization. (Mitchell Method)—Tentative. Without diluting polarize the extract at 20°C. in a 200 mm. tube. Divide the reading in degrees Ventzke by 3.2 in the case of lemon extract and by 5.2 in the case of orange extract; in the absence of other optically active substances, the re- sult will be the percentage of oil by volume. A small amount of cane sugar is occa- sionally present; if so, determine as directed under 28 and correct the reading accordingly. 21 By Precipitation. (Mitchell Method)—Tentative. Pipette 20 ce. of the extract into a Babcock milk bottle, add 1 cc. of hydrochloric acid (1 to 1), then 25-28 cc. of water previously warmed to 60°C., mix, let stand in water at 60°C. for 5 minutes, centrifugalize for 5 minutes, fill with warm water to bring the oil into the graduated neck of the flask, again centrifugalize for 2 min- utes, place the flask in water at 60°C. for a few minutes and note the per cent of oil by volume. If oil of lemon is present in amounts over 2%, add 0.4% to the per- centage of oil noted to correct for the solubility of the oil. If less than 2% and more than 1% is present, add 0.3% for this correction. When the extract is made in accordance with the U. S. P., the results by the methods given under 20 and 21 should agree within 0.2%. To obtain the per cent by weight from the per cent by volume, as found by either of these methods, multiply the volume percentage by 0.86 in the case of lemon ex- tracts, and by 0.85 in the case of orange extracts, and divide the result by the specific gravity of the original extract. TOTAL ALDEHYDES. Chace Method*.—Tentative. 22 REAGENTS. (a) Aldehyde-free alcohol.—Allow 95% alcohol by volume, containing 5 grams of meta-phenylendiamin hydrochlorid per liter, to stand for 24 hours with fre- quent shaking. (Nothing is gained by previous treatment with potassium hy- droxid.) Boil under a reflux condenser for at least 8 hours, longer if necessary, allow to stand overnight and distil, rejecting the first 10 and the last 5 per cent XX] FLAVORING EXTRACTS 263 which come over. Store in a dark, cool place in well filled bottles. Twenty-five cc. of this alcohol, on standing 20 minutes at 14°-16°C. with 20 cc. of the sulphite fuchsin solution, should develop only a faint pink coloration. If a stronger color is de- veloped, repeat the treatment with meta-phenylndiamin hydrochlorid as above. (b) Sulphite-fuchsin solution.—Dissolve 0.5 gram of fuchsin in 250 ce. of water, add an aqueous solution of sulphur dioxid containing 16 grams of the gas, allow to stand until colorless, or nearly so, and make up to 1 liter with water. Let stand 12 hours before using and keep in a refrigerator. ‘This solution is liable to deteriorate and should be reasonably fresh when used. (C) Standard citral solution.—Use 0.5 or 1 mg. of C.P. citral per cc. in 50% alde- hyde-free alcohol. 23 DETERMINATION. Weigh approximately 25 grams of the extract in a stoppered weighing flask, transfer to a 50 cc. flask and make up to the mark at room temperature with alde- hyde-free alcohol. Measure, at room temperature, 2 cc. of this solution into a comparison tube. Add 25 cc. of the aldehyde-free alcohol (previously cooled to 14°-16°C.), then 20 cc. of the sulphite-fuchsin solution (also cooled) and finally make up to the 50cc. mark with more aldehyde-free alcohol. Mix thoroughly, stopper and keep at 14°-16°C. for 15 minutes. Prepare a standard for comparison at the same time and in the same manner, using 2 cc. of the standard citral solution, and compare the colors developed. Calculate the amount of citral present and re- peat the determination, using a quantity sufficient to give the sample approxi- mately the strength of the standard. From this result calculate the amount of citral in the sample. If the comparisons are made in Nessler tubes, standards containing 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 mg. of citral, may be prepared and the trial comparison made against these, the final comparison being made with standards lying between 1.5 and 2.5 mg. with 0.25 mg. increments. It is absolutely essential to keep the reagents and comparison tubes at the re- quired temperature, 14°-16°C. Where the comparisons are made in a bath (this being 7 possible only where the bath is of glass), the standards should be discarded within 25 minutes after adding the sulphite-fuchsin solution. Give samples and standards identical treatment. CITRAL. Hiltner Method’.—Tentative. 24 REAGENTS. (a) Meta-phenylendiamin hydrochlorid solution.—Prepare a 1% solution of meta- phenylendiamin hydrochlorid in 95% alcohol by volume. Decolorize, if neces- sary, by shaking with fuller’s earth and filter through a double filter. The solution should be bright and clear, free from suspended matter, and practically colorless. Prepare this solution only for immediate use. () Alcohol.—For the analysis of lemon extracts, 90-95% alcohol by volume should be used, but for terpeneless extracts, 40-50% alcohol by volume is sufficient. Filter to remove any suspended matter. The alcohol need not be purified from aldehyde. If not practically colorless, render slightly alkaline with sodium hydroxid and distil. 25 : DETERMINATION. All of the operations may be carried on at room temperature. Weigh 25 grams of the extract into a 50 cc. graduated flask and make up to the mark with alcohol. 264 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Stopper the flask and mix the contents thoroughly. Pipette 2 cc. of this solution into a colorimeter tube; add 10 ec. of the meta-phenylendiamin hydrochlorid solu- tion and complete the volume to 50 ce. (or other standard volume) with alcohol. Compare at once the color with that of the standard, prepared at the same time, using 2 cc. of standard citral solution and 10 ce. of the meta-phenylendiamin hy- drochlorid solution, and making up to standard volume with alcohol. From the result of this first determination, calculate the amount of standard citral solution that should be used in order to give approximately the same citral strength as the sample under examination; then repeat the determination. 26 TOTAL SOLIDS.—OFFICIAL.

Determine the index of refraction with any standard instrument, making the reading at 20°C. 34 OPTICAL ROTATION.—TENTATIVE. Determine the rotation at 20°C. with any standard instrument, using a 50 mm. tube and sodium light. The results should be stated in angular degrees on a 100 mm. basis. If instruments having the sugar scale are used, the reading on orange oils is above the range of the scale, but readings may be obtained by the use of XX] FLAVORING EXTRACTS 265 standard laevo-rotatory quartz plates, or by the use of a 25 mm. tube. The true rotation cannot be obtained by diluting the oil with aleohol and correcting the rotation in proportion to the dilution. CITRAL. Kleber Method’.—Tentative. 35 REAGENTS. (a) Phenylhydrazin solution.—Prepare a 10% solution in absolute alcohol. A sufficiently pure product can be obtained by distilling the commercial article, rejecting the first portions coming over which contain ammonia. (b) N/2 hydrochloric acid. 36 DETERMINATION. Weigh 15 grams of the sample into a small, glass-stoppered flask; add 10 ce. of the phenylhydrazin solution. Allow to stand 30 minutes at room temperature, titrate with N/2 hydrochloric acid, using either methyl or ethyl orange as an indicator. Titrate similarly 10 cc. of the phenylhydrazin solution. The difference in the num- ber of ce. of N/2 acid used in these 2 titrations, multiplied by the factor 0.076, gives the weight of citral in the sample. If difficulty is experienced in detecting the end point of the reaction, titrate until the solution is distinctly acid, transfer to a sepa- ratory funnel, and draw off the alcoholic portion. Wash the oil with water, adding the washings to the alcoholic solution, titrate back with N/2 alkali and make the necessary corrections. 37 Hiliner Method*.—Tentative. Weigh 2 grams of lemon oil or 8 grams of orange oil into a 100 cc. graduated flask, dilute to the mark with 95% alcohol by volume and proceed as under 25, using 2 cc. of the dilute solution for the comparison. TOTAL ALDEHYDES. 38 Chace Method.—Tentative. Weigh a small quantity of the sample into a small, stoppered flask and dilute with aldehyde-free alcohol in the proportion of 2 grams of lemon oil or 4 grams of orange oil to 100 cc. of solution. Determine the total aldehydes as directed under 23, expressing the result as citral. 39 PHYSICAL CONSTANTS OF THE 10 PER CENT DISTILLATE’.—TENTATIVE. Place 50 cc. of the sample in a 3-bulb Ladenburg flask having the main bulb 6 em. in diameter and of 120 ce. capacity and the condensing bulbs of the following dimensions: 3.5 em., 3 em., 2.5 cm.; the distance from the bottom of the flask to the opening of the side arm should be 20 cm. Distil the oil at the rate of 2 cc. per minute until 5 ee. have been distilled. Determine the refractive index and rotation of this distillate as directed in 33 and 34. 40 PINENE. Chace Method®.—Tentative. Mix the 10% distillate, obtained in 39, with 5 cc. of glacial acetic acid; coo! the mixture thoroughly in a freezing bath and add 10 cc. of ethyl nitrite. Then add 266 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. slowly, with constant stirring, 2 cc. of hydrochloric acid (2to1). Keep the mixture in the freezing bath 15 minutes. Filter off the crystals formed, using suction, and wash with 95% alcohol by volume. Return the combined filtrate and washings to the freezing bath for 15 minutes. Filter off the crystals formed, using the origi- nal filter paper. Wash the combined crops of crystals thoroughly with alcohol. Dry at room temperature and dissolve in a minimum amount of chloroform. Add methyl alcohol to the chloroform solution, a little at a time, until the nitroso- chlorids crystallize out, mount the separated and dried crystals in olive oil and examine under the microscope. Pinene nitroso-chlorid crystals have irregular pyramidal ends while limonene nitroso-chlorid crystallizes in needles. ALMOND EXTRACT. 41 ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. Inasmuch as almond extract usually contains only about 1% of almond oil the alcohol can, in most cases, be calculated from the specific gravity of the extract. If the extract is high in solids, determine the alcohol as follows: Add 25 cc. of the extract, measured at 20°C., to 75 ce. of saturated sodium chlorid solution in a separatory funnel and extract twice with 50 cc. portions of petroleum ether (b. p. 40°-60°C.). Collect the petroleum ether extract in a second separatory fun- nel and wash twice with 2 portions (25 cc.) of saturated brine. Combine the origi- nal salt solution with the washings; add a little powdered pumice and distil into a 100 cc. flask. When almost 100 cc. have been distilled, make up to the mark with water at 20°C. and determine alcohol from the specific gravity, as directed under XVII, 4. BENZALDEHYDE.—TENTATIVE. 42 REAGENT. Phenylhydrazin solution.—Add 1.5 ce. of glacial acetic acid to 20 cc. of water and mix with 1 ec. of phenylhydrazin. 43 DETERMINATION. Measure out 2 portions of 10 cc. each of the extract into 300 cc. Erlenmeyer flasks and add 10 ce. of the phenylhydrazin solution to 1 flask and 15 ec. to the other. Allow to stand overnight in a dark place, add 200 ce. of water and filter on a tared Gooch crucible, provided with a thin layer of asbestos. Wash first with cold water, finally with 10 cc. of 10% alcohol, and dry for 3 hours in a vacuum oven at 70°C., or to constant weight over sulphuric acid. The weight of the precipitate multiplied by the factor 5.408 gives the weight of benzaldehyde in 100 cc. of the sample. If duplicate determinations do not agree, repeat the operation using a larger quantity of the phenylhydrazin solution. HYDROCYANIC ACID. 44 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Add several drops of ferrous sulphate solution and a single drop of ferric chlorid solution to several ce. of the extract. Mix thoroughly, add sodium hydroxid solu- tion, drop by drop, until no further precipitate forms and then dilute hydro- chloric acid to dissolve the precipitated hydroxids. In the presence even of small amounts of hydrocyanic acid, a Prussian blue coloration or suspension will develop. a XX] FLAVORING EXTRACTS 267 45 Quantitative Method.—Tentative. (In the absence of chlorids.) Measure 25 cc. of the extract into a small flask and add 5 ce. of freshly precipi- tated magnesium hydroxid (chlorin-free). Titrate with N/10 silver nitrate solu- tion, using potassium chromate as an indicator; 1 cc. of N/10 silver nitrate is equivalent to 0.00268 gram of hydrocyanic acid. NITROBENZOL. 46 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Boil a few ce. of the extract with some zinc dust and acetic acid and filter. Add to the filtrate a drop of chloroform, make strongly alkaline with sodium hydroxid solution and heat. The presence of nitrobenzol in the original extract is indicated by the development of the characteristic odor of phenylisonitrile. CASSIA, CINNAMON AND CLOVE EXTRACTS. 47 ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. Determine as directed under 41. OIL. 48 Hortvet and West Method?.—Tentative. Transfer 10 cc. of the extract to a separatory funnel, add 30 cc. of water, acidify with 1 cc. of hydrochloric acid (1 to 1) and extract 3 times with ether, using not less than 100 cc. altogether. Wash the combined ether solutions twice with water and, in the case of cinnamon extract, dry by shaking with a small amount of granu- lated calcium chlorid. Transfer to a tared, wide-mouthed weighing bottle and evap- orate the ether as rapidly as possible on a boiling water bath, rotating the liquid upon the sides of the bottle in order to rid the residual oil of traces of ether. Weigh the residue and divide the weight by the specific gravity of the oil in order to ob- tain the per cent of oil by volume. In the case of clove oil, allow the weighing bottle to remain in the balance case until the usual film of moisture has evaporated. The time of weighing, however, should not be delayed over 3 minutes. Determine the refractive index of the residual oils at 20°C. Dissolve a drop of the oil in several drops of alcohol and add a drop of ferric chlorid solution. The following tabulation gives the specific gravity, refractive index at 20°C. and color reaction with ferric chlorid solution: COLOR REACTION REFRACTIVE INDEX OIL SPECIFIC GRAVITY B 20°C WITH FERRIC san CHLORID SOLUTION (CKNG SIGN son 2 et nr a ee 1.05 1.585-1.600 Brown SimimammO nea twice A eis ve eile ae 1.03 1.590-1.599 Green (CHONASS o oO uo So o Ue e eee ere 1.055 1.560-1 .565 Deep blue GINGER EXTRACT. 49 ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE.

GINGER. 51 Seeker Method.—Tentative. Dilute 10 cc. of the extract to 30 cc., evaporate to 20 cc., decant into a separa- tory funnel and extract with an equal volume of ether. Allow the ether to evaporate spontaneously in a porcelain dish, and to the residue add 5 cc. of 75% sulphuric acid and about 5 mg. of vanillin. Allow to stand 15 minutes and add an equal volume of water; in the presence of ginger extract an azure blue color develops. CAPSICUM. 52 La Wall Method Modified by Doyle.—Tentative. To 10 ce. of the extract add cautiously dilute sodium hydroxid solution until the solution reacts very slightly alkaline with litmus paper. Evaporate at about 70°C. to approximately one fourth the original volume, render slightly acid with dilute sulphuric acid, testing with litmus paper. Transfer to a separatory funnel, rinsing the dish with water, and extract with an equal volume of ether, avoiding emulsi- fication by shaking the funnel gently 1-2 minutes. Draw off the lower layer and wash the ether extract once with about 10 ce. of water. Transfer the washed ether extract to a small evaporating dish, render decidedly alkaline with N/2 alcoholic potassium hydroxid and evaporate at about 70°C. until the residue is pasty; then add about 20 cc. more of N/2 alcoholic potash and allow to stand on a steam bath until the gingerol is completely saponified (about 30 minutes). Dissolve the residue in a little water and transfer with water to a small separatory funnel. The volume should not exceed 50 cc. Extract the alkaline solution with an equal volume of ether. Wash the ether extract repeatedly with small amounts of water until no longer alkaline to litmus. Transfer the washed extract to a small evaporating dish, and allow the ether to evaporate spontaneously. Finally test the residue for capsi- cum by moistening the tip of the finger, rubbing it on the bottom and sides of the dish, and then applying the finger to the end of the tongue. A hot, stinging or prickly sensation, which persists for several minutes, indicates capsicum or other foreign pungent substances. PEPPERMINT, SPEARMINT AND WINTERGREEN EXTRACTS. 53 ALCOHOL.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 41. OIL. 54 Howard Method Modified.—Tentative. Pipette 10 ce. of the extract into a Babcock milk bottle, add 1 cc. of carbon di- sulphid, mix thoroughly, then add 25 ec. of cold water and 1 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Close the mouth of the bottle and shake vigorously; centrif- ugalize for 6 minutes and remove all but 3-4 cc. of the supernatant liquid, which should be practically clear, by aspirating through a glass tube of small bore. Connect the stem of the bottle with a filter pump, immerse the bottle in water kept at approximately 70°C. for 3 minutes, remove from the bath every 15 seconds and shake vigorously. Continue in the same manner for 45 seconds, using a boiling water bath. Remove from the bath and shake while cooling. Disconnect from the suc- tion and fill the bottle to the neck with saturated salt solution at room temperature, centrifugalize for 2 minutes and read the volume of the separated oil from the top of the meniscus. Multiply the reading by 2 to obtain the per cent of oil by volume.

Cork and let stand in water at 60°C. for about 15 minutes, rotate occasionally and centrifugalize for 10 minutes at about 800 revo- lutions per minute. Add brine till the oil rises into the neck of the bottle, and again centrifugalize for 10 minutes. If the separation is not satisfactory, or the liquid is not clear, cool to about 10°C. and centrifugalize for an additional 10 minutes. Multiply the reading by 2 to obtain the percentage of oil by volume. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1899, 21: 256; 1902, 24: 1128; 1905, 27: 719. 2U.S. Bur. Chem.

MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS. MEAT. 1 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. In the case of fresh meat, separate the sample as completely as possible from the bones and pass through a sausage mill rapidly and repeatedly until thoroughly mixed and macerated. Chill the sample to prevent decomposition and begin all determinations as soon as practicable after the sample is prepared. In the case of canned meats, pass the entire contents of a can through a sausage mill as directed above. Remove sausage from the casings and mix by repeated grinding in a sausage mill. Dry the portion of the sample, which is not needed for analysis, either in vacuo or by evaporating with alcohol, extract the fat with gasoline (b. p. below 60°C.), allow the gasoline to evaporate spontaneously and expel the last traces by heating for a short time on the steam bath. Do not heat the meat or separated fat longer than necessary, owing to the tendency of the latter to decompose. Reserve the fat for examination according to the methods given under XXIII. Keep the fat in a cool place and complete the examination before the fat becomes rancid. 2 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 2 or 3, using the latter method in cases in which it is desired to employ the dried sample for further determinations. 3 ASH.— OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under VIII, 4. 4 CRUDE FAT OR ETHER EXTRACT.—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under VIII, 10. 5 TOTAL PHOSPHORUS.—TENTATIVE. Destroy the organic matter as directed under I, 5 (a), (b), (Cc) or (d) and proceed as directed under I, 6 or 9. WATER-SOLUBLE PHOSPHORUS!.—TENTATIVE. 6 PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS. (a) Cold water extract of flesh.—Weigh out 10-12 grams of fresh muscle and di- vide equally between 2 small beakers. Moisten the sample with a few cc. of water, and break up the lumps with a glass rod. Add 50 cc. of water to each beaker and stir the contents for 15 minutes. Allow the insoluble residue to settle for 3-5 min- utes, decant the liquid through filters into beakers and add 25 cc. of water to each residue. Stir 7-8 minutes and, after allowing to settle, decant onto the same filter. Continue this treatment, using 25 cc. of water each time, until the filtrates measure about 230 cc. each. Allow the filters to drain completely between extractions. Whenever the major portion of the residue has been mechanically transferred to the filter, return it to the beaker. After the last extraction, transfer the entire con- 271 272 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. tents of each beaker onto the filter and, when drained, wash twice with small quan- tities of water. Combine the 2 extracts. (b) Hot water-ammonium sulphate extract of blood.—Weigh out 30-35 grams of fresh whole blood as caught from the animal into a porcelain mortar. Grind and transfer to a 400 cc. beaker with hot water. Make up to about 150 cc. with boil- ing water. Place over a flame, gradually bring to boiling, with constant stirring, then add 20 cc. of 20% ammonium sulphate solution and continue boiling, with constant stirring, for about 10 minutes. Decant onto an 18 cm. filter paper, re- ceiving the filtrate in an 800 cc. beaker. Transfer the coagulum from the filter, along with that remaining in the beaker, to a mortar. Grind to a smooth paste and transfer to a beaker with boiling 3% ammonium sulphate solution. Make up to about 50 cc. with the latter, stir for 8 minutes and again filter. Return the coagulum to the mortar and grind again, transferring to the beaker as before with boiling 33% ammonium sulphate solution. Repeat this process of 8 minute extrac- tions of the coagulum in 34% ammonium sulphate solution and filtration as directed above, without further grinding, until the filtrate measures about 450 ec. Wash out each beaker twice with 8-10 cc. of hot 33% ammonium sulphate solution, transferring the coagulum and extract to the filter. Wash the coagulum twice with boiling 34% ammonium sulphate solution from awash bottle. Always allow the filter to drain well between additions of extract or wash solutions. (C) Hot water-ammonium sulphate extract of liver.—Weigh by difference from a closed weighing bottle 15-20 grams of finely ground liver into a 400 cc. beaker. Add a few ce. of cold water and beat up with a stirring rod to separate the particles of tissue. Add enough boiling water to make the volume about 150 cc., place over a flame and bring to boiling. Add 10 ec. of 20% ammonium sulphate solution and continue to boil for 10 minutes. Allow to settle for a moment and decant the boil- ing hot liquid onto an 18 em. filter. Add 50 cc. of boiling water and stir for 8 min- utes, without further heating, and decant onto the filter again. Repeat this addi- tion of 50 ce. of hot water, stirring and decanting 8 times, returning the coagulum to the beaker as soon as any considerable amount collects upon the filter. With the eighth portion of water transfer the entire contents of the beaker onto the filter and wash twice with hot water. Always allow the filter to drain well between additions of extract or wash water. (A) Hot water-ammonium sulphate extract of brain.—Weigh out about 10 grams of brain into a 250 cc. beaker. Add a few ce. of water and work up the brain and water with a glass rod. Make up to about 100 cc. with boiling water, place over a flame, and gradually bring to boiling, with constant stirring. While boiling vigor- ously (not before) add 20 cc. of 20% ammonium sulphate solution, boil gently for about 10 minutes, allow to settle for a moment and decant slowly onto a linen filter containing acid-washed, glassmaker’s sand, receiving the extract in an 800 ce. beaker. Add to the beaker containing the coagulum 50 ec. of 33% ammonium sulphate solution, stir 1 minute, keep boiling and decant the liquid onto the filter. Repeat this process of 1 minute extractions of the coagulum in 33% ammonium sulphate solution, and filtration as directed above, until the filtrate measures about 450 cc. Wash out the beaker twice with 8-10 cc. of hot 3% ammonium sulphate solution, completing the transfer of the coagulum and extract to the sand, and wash the coagulum twice with the wash solution. Always allow the filter to drain well between additions of extract or wash solution. In making extracts of brain, give careful attention to the handling of the sample. The coagulum is very soft. It should be stirred only enough to keep it in motion. If handled roughly in returning from the sand filter to the beaker, it becomes too XXT] MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 273 finely divided and retains a great deal of liquid. To prevent the extract or the coagulum from coming into contact with the linen before passing through the sand, pour the extract slowly into a slight depression in the center of the sand or, better yet, into a thin film of absorbent cotton, 1} inchesin diameter, laid over a depres- sion in the sand. The coagulum remains on the cotton and its return to the beaker is facilitated thereby. If the cotton is not broken up by needless stirring, it can be taken out of the beaker with a glass rod and returned to the sand each time a partial extract is to be filtered. Care is necessary to prevent loss through bumping, on account of sand in the beakers during the final extractions. Hach partial extract should be boiling hot at the time filtration begins. i DETERMINATION. To the extracts, prepared as directed in 6, add 50 cc. of magnesia mixture [I, 4 (c)| and stir thoroughly. Allow to stand 15 minutes, add 25 ec. of ammonium hy- droxid (sp. gr. 0.90), cover and allow to stand 3 days. Vilter and wash the pre- cipitate with 23% ammonium hydroxid. Dissolve the precipitate on the filter paper and that remaining in the beaker in nitric acid (1 to 1) and hot water, receiving the solution in a 400 ce. beaker. Neutralize with ammonium hydroxid, make slightly acid with nitric acid, add 5 grams of ammonium nitrate and determine phosphorus as directed under I, 6. 8 TOTAL NITROGEN.—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, using about 2 grams of the fresh sample. In the Kjeldahl and Gunning methods digest with sulphuric acid for at least 4 hours; in the Kjeldahl-Gunning-Arnold method for 2 hours after the mix- ture has become clear. 9 SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE NITROGEN.—TENTATIVE. Exhaust 7-25 grams of the sample depending upon the water content in the fol- lowing manner: Weigh into a 150 cc. beaker, add 5-10 cc. of cold (15°C.) ammonia- free water and stir to a homogeneous paste. Then add 50 cc. of cold water, stir every 3 minutes for 15 minutes, let stand for 2-3 minutes and decant the liquid upon a quantitative filter, collecting the filtrate in a 500 cc. graduated flask. Drain the beaker, pressing out the liquid from the meat residue by the aid of a glass rod. Add to the residue in the beaker 50 cc. of cold water, stir for 5 minutes and, after standing 2-3 minutes, decant as before. If a considerable portion of the meat is carried over onto the filter, transfer it back to the beaker by means of a glass rod. Repeat the extractions, using the following additional amounts of cold water: 50, 50, 25, 25, 25 and 25 cc. After the last extraction transfer the entire insoluble portion to the filter and wash with three 10 cc. portions of water, allowing the ma- terial to drain thoroughly after each addition of water. Dilute to the mark, mix thoroughly and determine the total soluble nitrogen in a 50 cc. aliquot as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. Subtract the percentage of soluble nitrogen from the per- centage of total nitrogen, 8, to obtain the percentage of insoluble nitrogen. ‘To obtain the percentage of insoluble protein multiply the percentage of insoluble nitrogen by 6.25. 10 CONNECTIVE TISSUE NITROGEN.—TENTATIVE. Exhaust 10 grams of the sample with cold water as directed under 9, and boil the exhausted residue repeatedly with successive portions of about 100 ec. of water until the total hot water extract amounts to approximately lliter. Filter, concen- trate and determine nitrogen in the concentrated extract. Multiply the percentage of nitrogen so obtained by 5.55 to obtain the percentage of nitrogenous substances of the connective tissue. 274 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 11 COAGULABLE PROTEINS.—TENTATIVE. (For uncooked meat only.) Measure 150 cc. of the extract, from 9, into a 250 cc. beaker and evaporate to 40 ec. on a steam bath, with occasional stirring. Neutralize to phenolphthalein, then add 1 cc. of N/1 acetic acid and boil gently for 5 minutes. The coagulum should separate out at once, leaving a clear liquid. Filter on quantitative paper, wash the beaker thoroughly 4 times with hot water, taking special care to clean the sides. Finally wash the coagulum on the filter 3 times, dilute the combined filtrate and washings to a definite volume and reserve for the determination of proteoses, pep- tones and gelatin, 12, and creatin, 16. Transfer the coagulum with the paper to a Kjeldahl flask and remove, with concentrated sulphuric acid, any of the material adhering to the beaker, taking the usual 25 ce. of acid in 5 cc. portions for this pur- pose, heating the acid in the beaker on a hot plate and rubbing with a glass rod. Proceed as directed under 8. Multiply the percentage of nitrogen obtained by 6.25 to obtain the percentage of coagulable proteins. PROTEOSES, PEPTONES AND GELATIN. 12 Modified Tannin-Salt Method?.—Tentative. Transfer a 50 cc. aliquot of the filtrate, obtained in 11, to a 100 cc. graduated flask, add 15 grams of sodium chlorid and 10 ce. of cold water, shake until the so- dium chlorid has dissolved and cool to 12°C. Add 30 ce. of 24% tannin solution, cooled to 12°C., fill to the mark with water previously cooled to 12°C., shake and allow the mixture to stand at a temperature of 12°C. for 12 hours or overnight. Filter at 12°C., transfer 50 cc. of the filtrate to a Kjeldahl flask and add a few drops of sulphuric acid. Place the flask in a steam bath, connect with a vacuum pump and evaporate to dryness. Determine nitrogen in the residue as directed in I, 18, using 30 cc. of sulphuric acid for the digestion. Conduct a blank determination, using the same amount of reagents, and correct the result accordingly. Mul- tiply the corrected result by 2 and deduct the amount of nitrogen as found from the nitrogen determined in another 50 cc. aliquot of the filtrate from the coagulable proteins without the tannin-salt treatment; the difference multiplied by 6.25 gives the percentage of proteoses, peptones and gelatin. 13 MEAT BASES.—TENTATIVE. Deduct from the percentage of total nitrogen, 8, the sum of the percentages of nitrogen, obtained in the determination of insoluble proteins, 9, coagulable pro- teins, 11, and proteoses, peptones and gelatin, 12, to obtain the percentage of nitrogen of the meat bases. Multiply the result by 3.12 to obtain the percentage of meat bases. AMMONIA. Folin Aeration Method?.—Tentative. 14 APPARATUS. Employ the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 9; A isa wash bottle one fourth full of 10% sulphuric acid; B is a tube containing the sample; C is a rubber disc and D is a 5 cc. bulb to prevent spray from being carried over into the tube (HZ) which contains the standard acid; F is a safety bottle. 15 DETERMINATION. Introduce 2-4 grams of the finely divided meat into the tube (B) and add 20 cc. of ammonia-free water. Place a measured amount of N/25 or N/50 sulphuric or XX7] MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 275 hydrochloric acid in tube (Z). Then add 1 cc. of saturated potassium oxalate solu- tion to the sample in tube (B), introduce a few drops of kerosene and finally add just sufficient saturated potassium carbonate solution to render the mixture alkaline. Place the tubes in position at once, pass air through the apparatus and titrate the standard acid in tube (#) at hourly intervals, until ammonia ceases to be given off, using methyl red, cochineal or congo red as an indicator. If preferred, the ammonia, collected in tube (Z), may also be determined by nesslerizing as directed under IV, 11. 16 CREATIN.— OFFICIAL. Evaporate an aliquot or the remaining portion of the filtrate and washings from the coagulable proteins, 11, (a portion having been used in 12), to 5-10 cc., transfer with a minimum amount of hot water to a 50 cc. measuring flask, keeping the volume below 30 cc., add 10 cc. of 2N hydrochloric acid and mix. Hydrolyze in an auto- TMU. ra) Sane adnan) i: HIM) MR Y ee 7) / FIG. 9. APPARATUS FOR THE FOLIN AMMONIA DETERMINATION. clave at 117°-120°C. for 20 minutes, allow the flask to cool somewhat, remove and chill under running water. Partially neutralize the excess of acid by adding 7.5 ce. of 10% sodium hydroxid solution, free from carbonates, dilute to the mark and mix. Make a preliminary reading on 20 cc. to ascertain the volume to use to obtain a reading of approximately 8 mm. and transfer to a 500 cc. graduated flask. Add 10 ec. of 10% sodium hydroxid solution and 30 cc. of saturated picric acid solution (1.2%). Mix and rotate for 30 seconds and let stand exactly 4; minutes. Dilute to the mark at once with water, shake thoroughly and read in a Duboscq colori- meter, comparing the color with N/2 potassium dichromate solution, set at 8 mm. If the reading is too high or too low (above 9.5 or below 7 mm.), calculate the quantity necessary to obtain a reading of about8 mm. The strength of the dichro- mate solution used must be checked against astandard creatin solution. To obtain the values, divide 81 by the reading and multiply by the volume factor to obtain mg. of creatinin; this value multiplied by 1.16 gives creatin, which, divided by the weight of the sample and multiplied by 100 gives the per cent of creatin. 276 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. The use of Kober’s shade and the painting of the plunger, as suggested for this nephelometer, assists in getting a sharper end point, relieves the eye strain and may be employed if desired. Example.—20 grams of meat are extracted with water as in 9, and the extract diluted to 500 ce.; 150 ce. of this latter solution (equivalent to 6 grams of meat) are treated asin11. The filtrate thus obtained is then evaporated and hydrolyzed as above and then diluted to 50 cc.; 25 cc. of this last solution are treated with sodium hydroxid solution and picric acid solution as directed above and diluted to 500 ce. This latter solution gives a reading of 9 mm. 81 _, 50 ini a x 55718 mg. creatinin; Se 0.35% creatin. STARCH. (In chopped meat, sausage, deviled meat, etc.) 17 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Treat 5-6 grams of the sample with boiling water for 2-3 minutes, cool the mix- ture and test the supernatant liquid with iodin solution. In using this test, a small amount of starch may be present as the result of the use of spices. If a marked reaction is given, however, it may be concluded that starch or flour has been added, and a quantitative determination may be made. The qualitative method may be replaced by a microscopic examination, which discloses not only the presence of added starch, but also the variety employed. 18 Mayrhofer Method, Price Modification’.—Tentative. Treat in a 200 cc. beaker 10 grams of the finely divided sample with 75 cc. of an 8% solution of potassium hydroxid in 95% aleohol by volume and heat on a steam bath until all the meat is dissolved (30-45 minutes). Add an equal volume of 95% alcohol, cooland allow to stand for at least an hour. Filter by suction through a thin layer of asbestos in a Gooch crucible. Wash twice with warm 4% potassium hydroxid in 50% alcohol by volume and then twice with warm 50% alcohol. Dis- card the washings. Retain as much of the precipitate in the beaker as possible until the last washing. Place the crucible with contents in the original beaker, add 40 cc. of water and 25 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid. Stir during the addi- tion of the acid and make sure that the acid comes in contact with all the precipi- tate. Allow to stand about 5 minutes, add 40 cc. of water and heat just to boiling, stirring constantly. Transfer the solution to a 250 cc. graduated flask, add 2 cc. of 20% phosphotungstie acid solution, allow to cool to room temperature and make up to the mark with water. Filter through a starch-free filter paper, pipette 100 ce. of the filtrate into a 200 cc. graduated flask, neutralize with sodium hydroxid solution, make up to volume and determine the dextrose present in a 50 cc. portion of the filtrate, as directed under VIII, 25, titrating the cuprous oxid precipitate as directed under VIII, 29. The weight of the dextrose multiplied by 0.9 gives the weight of the starch. GLYCOGEN. 19 Qualitative Test®.—Tentative. Boil 50 grams of the macerated sample with 50 ce. of water for 15-30 minutes. Filter the broth through moistened filter paper or fine linen. To a portion of the filtrate in a test tube add a few drops of a mixture of 2 parts of iodin, 4 of potassium XX]] MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 277 iodid and 100 of water. In the presence of a considerable amount of glycogen the latter produces a dark brown color, which is destroyed by heating and reappears on cooling, When starch is present, it may be precipitated by treating the water extract with 2 volumes of glacial acetic acid, filtering and applying the test for glycogen to the filtrate. Trowbridge and Francis Method'.—Tentative. 20 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. Weigh out by difference about 25 grams of the finely ground and thoroughly mixed sample. Place in a 400 cc. beaker and mix with 50 cc. of potassium hydroxid solution (13 to 1), free from carbonate. Cover the beaker with a watch glass and digest on the water bath for 2 hours, with occasional stirring. At the end of the 2 hours, dilute to approximately 200 ce. with cold water. Add to the solution an equal volume of 95% alcohol by volume, cover with a watch glass and set aside for 10-12 hours. Decant the supernatant liquid through a folded 18.5 cm. filter, allowing the glycogen to remain in the beaker and wash by decantation with 66% alcohol (2 volumes of 95% alcohol to 1 of water) until the glycogen is white, or nearly so. Usually about 4 washings are required. Transfer the washed precipitate from the beaker to the filter and wash 2-3 times with 66% alcohol. The solution filters slowly and the funnel should be covered with a watch glass to prevent excessive evaporation. The albuminous substance present retards the filtration if permitted to dry on the paper. If the washing by decantation is not made nearly complete, it will be difficult to obtain the glycogen free from the coloring matter. After the washing is completed, close the bottom of the funnel by a piece of rub- ber tubing and a pinch-cock. Fill the funnel with warm water, cover with the watch glass and let stand 2-3 hours, or overnight. Open the pinch-cock and allow all of the solution to pass through the filter into a beaker. Close the funnel with the pinch-cock and fill with warm water as before. Allow this water to remain in the funnel for an hour and then filter as before. At first the glycogen solution appears quite turbid. This washing with warm water should be continued until the filtrate becomes perfectly clear. To the solution of glycogen in water, add double its volume of 95% alcohol by volume and let stand overnight to complete the repre- cipitation of the glycogen. Filter and wash as before with 66% alcohol. 21 DETERMINATION. If desired, the last filtration may be made through a tared Gooch crucible and the weight of glycogen determined after drying to constant weight. This gives results that are approximately correct. More satisfactory results are obtained by hydrolyz- ing the glycogen with dilute hydrochloric acid and determining the resultant dex- trose. Dissolve the glycogen on the filter in warm water as directed above, collect- ing the filtrate and washings in a 300 cc. graduated flask and keeping the volume within 225 ec. Add 12.5 ec. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.19) to the combined fil- trate and washings, mix and place in a boiling water bath for 3 hours. Cool, neu- tralize with sodium hydroxid solution, cool again, make up to volume with water and determine dextrose in an aliquot of the solution as directed under VIII, 54, determining the reduced copper as directed under VIII, 29. Multiply the cor- responding weight of dextrose by 0.9 to obtain its equivalent of glycogen and correct this result for dilution to obtain the per cent of glycogen in the sample. 278 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. SUGAR’.—TENTATIVE. 22 REAGENTS. (a) Mercuric nitrate solution.—Warm 220 grams of yellow mercuric oxid with 300 ec. of water and treat with small portions of nitric acid, stirring until dissolved. Make up to 1 liter and filter. (b) Phosphotungstic acid solution.—Prepare a 20% solution of phosphotungstic acid in 2.5% hydrochloric acid. 23 DETERMINATION. Boil 100 grams of the sample with about 350 cc. of water for about 20 minutes, cool, add an excess (10-30 cc.) of the mercuric nitrate solution, nearly neutralize with sodium hydroxid solution and make up to 500 cc., exclusive of fat. Mix thor- oughly, allow the mixture to settle and decant the clear liquid through a large, dry, folded filter. To an aliquot of the filtrate add 1-2 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid for each 100 cc., heat to boiling and saturate thoroughly with a rapid current of hydrogen sulphid. Remove the excess of hydrogen sulphid by means of a cur- rent of air, cool, make up to a definite volume with water and filter. To an aliquot of the filtrate add an excess of the phosphotungstic acid solution, noting the in- crease in volume of the solution caused by this addition and place in an ice box for several hours or overnight. Filter, introduce 50 cc. of the filtrate into a 400 cc. beaker, neutralize with concentrated sodium hydroxid solution, add 50 ce. of Soxh- let’s solution [VIII, 19], heat so that boiling begins in 4 minutes, boil 2 minutes and filter through an alundum crucible of suitable porosity, using very gentle suction. If the filtrate is green or yellow, refilter through the same crucible until the fil- trate is clear blue. Wash the precipitate with a very small amount of 5% sodium hydroxid solution, refiltering the washings if they are turbid. Dissolve the precipi- tated cuprous oxid in nitric acid (1 to 1) and determine copper as directed under VIII, 29. Find the corresponding amount of dextrose or invert sugar from VIII, 27, and calculate the per cent in the original sample by proper correction for the various aliquots taken in the determination. To convert invert sugar to sucrose multiply by the factor 0.95. NITRATES. Schlésing-Wagner Method®.—Tentalive. 24 REAGENT. Ferrous chlorid solution.—Dissolve nails or other small pieces of iron in concen- trated hydrochloric acid, keeping an excess of iron present until the evolution of gas ceases. Keep the solution in 50 cc. glass-stoppered bottles entirely filled. Employ only freshly opened bottles of the reagent for the determination. 25 APPARATUS. Provide a 250 cc. flask with a 2-holed rubber stopper. Through one of the holes pass the stem of a funnel having a glass stop-cock, and into the other fit a delivery tube leading downward at an angle from the flask to a trough containing water. Terminate the upper end of the delivery tube just below the rubber stopper in the flask and place the lower end under the surface of the water in the trough, the exit being immediately beneath the mouth of an inverted measuring tube, filled with 40% potassium hydroxid solution. Cover the trough end of the delivery tube with a piece of rubber tubing. Midway on the delivery tube between the flask and the measuring tube place a short length of rubber tubing and a pinch-cock. XXI ] MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 279 26 DETERMINATION. Extract 100 grams of finely ground meat by boiling repeatedly with successive small portions of water, decanting the extracts through a muslin or paper filter into a casserole, and concentrate the combined extracts to a volume of about 50 cc. Introduce 50 cc. of the ferrous chlorid solution and 50 cc. of 10% hydrochloric acid into the flask, close the stop-cock of the funnel, open the pinch-cock on the delivery tube, move the end of the latter so that escaping air will not pass into the measuring tube, and boil the contents of the flask until the air is expelled, as indicated by a slight pressure against the fingers when the rubber tubing is compressed after mo- mentary removal of the flame. Now close the delivery tube with the pinch-cock and place the exit end beneath the measuring tube. Introduce the concentrated extract of the sample into the flask, a little at a time, through the funnel tube, opening the pinch-cock on the delivery tube and boiling the contents of the flask at intervals to force the nitric oxid gas into the measuring tube. Finally rinse the casserole and the funnel tube with a little boiled water, add the rinsings to the con- tents of the evolution flask in the manner just described and boil until nitric oxid no longer passes over into the measuring tube. Calculate the volume of nitric oxid at 0°C. and 760 mm. pressure. One cc. of nitric oxid at 0°C. and 760 mm. pressure is equivalent to 0.004512 gram of potassium nitrate. Phenoldisulphonic Acid Method®.—Tentative. 27 REAGENTS. (a) Phenoldisulphonic acid solution.—Heat 6 grams of phenol with 37 cc. of con- centrated sulphuric acid on a water bath, cool and add 3 cc. of water. (b) Standard comparison solution.—Dissolve 1 gram of pure, dry potassium ni- trate in water and dilute to 1 liter. Evaporate 10 ce. of this solution to dryness on a steam bath, add 2 cc. of the phenoldisulphonic acid solution, mix quickly and thorough:y by means of a glass rod, heat for about a minute in a steam bath and dilute to 100 cc. One cc. of this solution is equivalent to 0.1 mg. of potassium ni- trate. Prepare a series cf standard comparison tubes by introducing amounts ranging from 1-20 ce. of this solution (0.1-2.0 mg. of potassium nitrate) into 50 ce. Nessler tubes, adding 5 ce. of strong ammonium hydroxid to each and diluting to 50 cc. These standard tubes are permanent for several weeks if kept tightly stoppered. 28 DETERMINATION. Weigh 1 gram of the sample into a 100 cc. flask, add 20-30 cc. of water and heat on a steam bath for 15 minutes, shaking occasionally. Add 3 ce. of saturated silver sulphate soluticn for each per cent of sodium chlorid present, then 10 cc. of basic lead acetate solution and 5 cc. of alumina cream, shaking after each addition. Make up to the mark with water, shake and filter through a folded filter, returning the filtrate to the filter until it runs through clear. Evaporate 25 cc. of the filtrate to dryness, add 1 cc. of the phenoldisulphonic acid solution, mix quickly and thor- oughly by means of a glass rod, add 1 ce. of water and 3 or 4 drops of concentrated sulphuric acid and heat on a steam bath for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to char the material. Then add about 25 cc. of water and an excess of ammonium hydroxid, transfer to a 100 cc. graduated flask, add 1-2 ec. of alumina cream if not perfectly clear, dilute to the mark with water and filter.

Remove liquid and semi-liquid meat extracts and similar preparations from the container and mix thoroughly before sampling. A little heating expedites the mixing of pasty extracts. In many liquid preparations a sediment forms which should be carefully removed from the bottom of the container and included in the sample. If the sample is in the form of cubes, grind 10-12 of the cubes in a mortar. 33 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 2, employing about 2 grams of powdered prepa- rations, about 3 grams of pasty preparations, or 5-10 grams of liquid extracts, according to the solid content. Dry the powdered preparations directly without admixture. Dissolve the pasty preparations in water and dry with sufficient ignited sand, asbestos or pumice stone to absorb the solution. When glycerol is present, proceed as directed under VIII, 3. 34 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under VIII, 4. Add sufficient water to pasty preparations to effect solution and evaporate to dryness in order that the solids may be distrib- uted evenly over the bottom of the dish. 35 TOTAL PHOSPHORUS.—TENTATIVE.

Proceed as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. XX]] MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 281 39 INSOLUBLE PROTEIN!°.—_TENTATIVE. Dissolve 5 grams of powdered preparations, 8-10 grams of pasty extracts, or 20- 25 grams of fluid extracts, in cold water. Filter and wash with cold water. Trans- fer the filter paper and contents to a Kjeldahl flask and determine nitrogen as di- rected underI, 18, 21 or 23. However, if a large amount of insoluble matter is pres- ent, transfer the weighed sample to a graduated flask, make up to a definite volume, shake thoroughly, filter through a folded filter and determine nitrogen in an aliquot of the filtrate. Deduct the percentage of nitrogen in the total filtrate from the. percentage of total nitrogen, 38, to obtain the percentage of nitrogen in the insol- uble protein. Multiply this percentage of nitrogen by 6.25 to obtain the percentage. of insoluble protein. 40 COAGULABLE PROTEIN.—TENTATIVE. Prepare a solution of the sample as directed in 39. Employ as large an aliquot of the filtrate as practicable or an aliquot of the filtrate from the insoluble protein, 39, and neutralize to phenolphthalein by the addition of acetic acid or sodium hydroxid, whichever may be necessary, add 1 cc. of N/1 acetic acid, boil for 2-3 minutes, cool to room temperature, dilute to 500 cc. and pass through a folded filter. Determine nitrogen in 50 cc. of the filtrate as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. Ten times the percentage of nitrogen so obtained subtracted from the percentage of soluble nitrogen (total nitrogen minus the percentage of nitrogen occurring as insoluble protein) gives the percentage of nitrogen present as coagulable protein. Multiply this figure by 6.25 to obtain the percentage of coagulable protein in the sample. 41 AMMONIA.—TENTATIVE. Mix 1 gram of meat extract with 2 cc. of N/1 hydrochloric acid, wash into a Folin apparatus with about 5 cc. of water and proceed as directed under 15. 42 PROTEOSES AND GELATIN".—TENTATIVE. Evaporate the filtrate from 40 to a small volume and saturate with zinc sulphate (about 85 grams to 50 cc., avoiding such an excess as would later cause bumping). Let stand several hours, filter and wash the precipitate with saturated zinc sul- phate solution, place the filter and precipitate in a Kjeldahl flask and determine ni- trogen as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. Or, if the precipitate is voluminous, which rarely happens, make up to a definite volume with saturated zinc sulphate solution, filter and determine the nitrogen in an aliquot of the filtrate, as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, and subtract the nitrogen thus obtained from the nitrogen in the filtrate from the coagulable protein to obtain the nitrogen of the precipitated protein (proteoses and gelatin). 43 GELATIN.—TENTATIVE. Prepare a 50% solution of the sample, using hot water. Allow to cool and place in an ice box for 2 hours. If gelatin is present, the solution will set. The ratio of total creatinin to total nitrogen in a normal meat extract (1 : 1.5) assists in determining the presence of gelatin or gelatin derivatives. The ratio is decreased when gelatin or gelatin derivatives are present in any considerable amount. 282 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. AMINO NITROGEN. Van Slyke Method'?.— Tentative. 44 REAGENTS.

Employ the apparatus shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the former illustrating the man- ner in which the entire apparatus is arranged and the latter showing the details XX]q] MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 283 of the deaminizing bulb and connections. The Hempel gas pipette is filled with the alkaline permanganate solution. 46 DETERMINATION. Fill with water the burette (7), the capillary tube leading to the Hempel pipette and also the other capillary as far as c. Introduce into A sufficient glacial acetic acid to fill one fifth of D, the tube (A) being etched with a mark to measure this FIG. 11. DETAILS OF THE DEAMINIZING BULB AND CONNECTION. (By courtesy of the Journal of Biological Chemistry.) amount. Allow the acid to run into D, the cock c being turned so as to allow the air to escape from D. Pour the sodium nitrite solution into A until D is full of solu- tion and enough excess is present to rise a little above the cock into A. A is also marked for measuring off this amount. Then close the gas exit from D at c, and, a being open, shake D for a few seconds until the liquid is forced down to the 20 cc. mark in D. Then close a, open c and shake the apparatus rapidly with the motor for 2 minutes, these operations being for the purpose of expelling all the air from D. Then turn c and f so that D and F are connected. 284 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Measure off in B 10 cc. or less, as the case may be, of the solution of the sample containing not more than 20 mg. of amino nitrogen (about 1-2 grams of the sample) and allow it to run into D. Connect D with the motor as shown in Fig. 10 and shake for 5 minutes. If the solution of the sample is viscous and threatens to foam over, rinse out B, and then through it introduce a little caprylic alcohol into D, or, if it is known beforehand that the sample will cause excessive foaming, introduce a little caprylic alcohol into D through B, rinsing B with alcohol and ether or drying with a roll of filter paper before adding the solution of the sample. During the shaking there is an evolution of nitrogen mixed with nitric oxid,the gases being collected in F. Force all the gas in D into F by opening a and filling D with liquid from A. Connect F with the Hempel pipette and force the gas into the latter by means of the leveling bulb, allowing the cock a to remain open during this and the succeeding operation in order to permit displacement of the liquid in D by the nitric oxid formed in the interval. Connect the driving rod with the pipette by lifting the hook from the shoulder of D and placing the other hook, on the opposite side of the driving rod, over the horizontal lower tube of the pipette. Shake the pipette rather slowly for a minute which, with any but almost completely exhausted permanganate solutions, completes the absorption of nitric oxid. Then return the gas to the burette, adjust the level with the leveling bulb and note the volume of nitrogen, the temperature and barometric pressure, and calculate the volume of nitrogen under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. Ob- tain the corresponding weight of nitrogen, divide the latter by 2, and from the quotient calculate the apparent per cent of amino nitrogen in the sample. Cor- rect the result for a blank test performed as above, using 10 cc. of water instead of the solution of the sample. The amount of gas obtained in the blank is usually 0.3-0.4 ce., and nitrite solutions giving a much larger correction should be rejected. In the case of beef extracts and similar preparations 5 minutes is sufficient time to allow for the completion of the reaction in D. In general the same time serves for the decomposition of alpha-amino acids but with ammonia, methylamin and most amines other than alpha-amines 1-14 hours should be allowed. For determi- nations on such substances mix the solution of the sample with the reagents as de- scribed above, allow the mixture to stand in the apparatus till the end of the re- quired time, and conclude the reaction by shaking the apparatus with the motor for 2-3 minutes. Continue the determination from this point as directed above. 47 ACID ALCOHOL-SOLUBLE NITROGEN!?._TENTATIVE. Transfer 10 cc. of an aqueous solution of the sample (10 grams of the sample dissolved in sufficient water to make 100 cc.) or, if the sample is insoluble in water, 1 gram of the sample and 10 cc. of water, to a 200 cc. glass-stoppered measuring cylinder, add 1.2 cc. of 12% hydrochloric acid, mix and add absolute alcohol to the 200 cc. mark. Mix thoroughly and set aside for several hours. If necessary make up to volume, filter, transfer 100 cc. of the filtrate to a Kjeldahl flask, evaporate the alcohol on a water bath and determine nitrogen in the residue as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. 48 CREATIN.— OFFICIAL. Dissolve about 7 grams of the sample in cold (20°C.) ammonia-free water in a 150 cc. beaker, transfer the solution to a 250 cc. measuring flask, dilute to the mark XX]] - MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS 285 and mix thoroughly. Transfer a 20 cc. aliquot of this solution to a 50 cc. meas- uring flask and proceed as directed under 16. Subtract from the combined creati- nin value the equivalent of the pre-formed creatinin, 49, and multiply the difference by 1.16 to convert into creatin.

For creatinin in beef extract measure about 5 cc. of the solution employed in 48 into a 500 cc. measuring flask, add 10 ce. of 10% sodium hydroxid solution and 30 cc. of the saturated picric acid solution (1.2%), mix and rotate for 30 seconds. Allow to stand exactly 43 minutes, then dilute to the mark at once with water. Shake thoroughly and read the depth of color after standing. If the reading is less than 7 or over 9.5 mm., repeat, calculating the quantity of solution necessary to obtain a reading of about 8mm. Express the result as per cent of creatinin, making the calculations as indicated under 16. GLYCEROL. 50 Cook Method't.—Tentative.

Weigh about 20 grams of the milk in a tared dish, add 6 ce. of nitric acid, evap- orate to dryness and ignite at a temperature just below redness until the ash is free from carbon. 3 TOTAL NITROGEN.— OFFICIAL. Place about 5 grams of the milk in a Kjeldahl digestion flask and proceed, without evaporation, as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. Multiply the percentage of nitro- gen by 6.38 to obtain the equivalent percentage of nitrogen compounds. CASEIN. (This determination should be made while the milk is fresh, or nearly so. When it is not practicable to make this determination within 24 hours, add 1 part of formaldehyde to 2500 parts of milk and keep in a cool place.) 4 Method I.—Official. Place 10 grams of the milk in a beaker with 90 cc. of water at 40°-42°C. and add at once 1.5 cc. of 10% acetic acid. Stir and let stand 3-5 minutes. Then decant on a filter, wash by decantation 2-3 times with cold water and transfer the precipi- tate to the filter. Wash once or twice on the filter. The filtrate should be clear, or very nearly so. If the first portions of the filtrate are not clear, repeat the fil- tration, after which complete the washing of the precipitate. Determine nitrogen in the washed precipitate and filter paper as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, mul- tiply by 6.38 and calculate the percentage of casein. In samples of milk which have been preserved, the acetic acid should be added in small portions, a few drops at a time, with stirring, and the addition continued until the liquid above the precipitate becomes clear, or very nearly so. 5 Method II.—Offcial.

The quantity of sample to be taken for the deter- mination varies with the specific gravity and is to be measured at the same tempera- ture at which the specific gravity is taken. The volume to be measured will be found in 10 which is based upon twice the normal weight of lactose (32.9 grams per 100 metric cc.) for the Ventzke sugar scale. Place the quantity of milk indicated in 10 in a flask graduated at 102.6 cc. Add 1 cc. of the acid mercuric nitrate solution or 30 ec. of the mercuric iodid solution (an excess of these reagents does no harm), fill to the mark, shake, filter through a dry filter and polarize. It is not necessary to heat before polarizing. If a 200 mm. tube is used, divide the polariscope reading by 2 (or, if a 400 mm. tube is used, by 4) to obtain the per cent of lactose in the sample.

Dilute 25 grams of the milk with 400 cc. of water in a 500 cc. graduated flask, add 10 ce. of copper sulphate solution [ VIII, 19 (a) ] and about 7.5 cc. of a potas- sium hydroxid solution of such strength that 1 volume is just sufficient to pre- cipitate completely the copper as hydroxid from 1 volume of the copper sulphate solution. Instead of potassium hydroxid solution of this strength, 8.8 ec. of N/2 sodium hydroxid solution may be used. After the addition of the alkali solution the mixture must still have an acid reaction and contain copper in solution. Fill the flask to the 500 ce. mark, mix, filter through a dry filter and determine lactose in an aliquot of the filtrate as directed under VIII, 46 or 48. FAT. 12 Roese-Gottlieb Method?.—Official. Weigh 10-11 grams of the milk into a Rohrig tube or some similar apparatus, add 1.25 ec. of concentrated ammonium hydroxid (2 cc. if the sample is sour) and mix thoroughly. Add 10 ee. of 95% alcohol by volume and mix well. Then add 25 ce. of washed ether and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then 25 ce. of petro- leum ether (redistilled slowly at a temperature below 60°C.) and shake again for 30 seconds. Let stand 20 minutes, or until the upper liquid is practically clear. Draw off as much as possible of the ether-fat solution (usually 0.5-0.8 ce. will be left) into a weighed flask through a small, quick-acting filter. The flask should always be weighed with a similar one as a counterpoise. Re-extract the liquid remain- ing in the tube, this time with only 15 cc. of each ether, shake vigorously 30 seconds with each and allow to settle. Draw off the clear solution through the small filter into the same flask as before and wash the tip of spigot, the funnel and the filter with a few ce. of a mixture of the 2 ethers in equal parts. For absolutely exact results the re-extraction must be repeated. This third extraction yields usually not more than about 1 mg. of fat (about 0.02% on a 4 gram charge) if the previous ether-fat solutions have been drawn off closely. Evaporate the ethers slowly on a steam bath, then dry the fat in a boiling water oven to constant weight. Confirm the purity of the fat by dissolving in a little petroleum ether. Should a residue remain, remove the fat completely with petroleum ether, dry the residue, weigh and deduct the weight. Finally correct this weight by a blank determina- tion on the reagents used. Babcock Method.—Oficial. 13 APPARATUS.

The graduations shall represent whole per cents, halves and tenths of a per cent. (2) 50%, 9 gram, 6 inch cream test bottle.—The total per cent graduation shall be 50. The total height of the bottle shall be 150-165 mm. (53-63 inches). The capacity of the bulb up to the junction with the neck shall be not less than 45cc. The graduated portion of the neck shall have a length of not less than 63.5 mm. (23 290 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. inches) and the neck shall be cylindrical for at least 9 mm. below the lowest and above the highest graduation marks. The graduations shall represent five per cents, whole and halves of a per cent. (3) 50%, 9 gram, 9 inch, cream test bottle—Same as (2) except that the total height of the bottle shall be 210-225 mm. (8}-8; inches). (b) Centrifuge. (Cc) Pipettes—Graduated to deliver 17.6 cc. of water at 20°C. in 5-8 seconds. (a) Graduates.—Capacity 17.5 cc. or a Swedish acid bottle delivering that amount. 14 CALIBRATION OF APPARATUS. (a) Graduation.—The unit of graduation for all Babcock glassware shall be the true cc. (0.998877 gram of water at 4°C.). With bottles, the capacity of each per cent on the scale shal! be 0.20 ee. With pipettes and graduates, the delivery shall be the intent of the graduation; and the graduation shall be read with the bottom of the meniscus in line with the mark. (b) Testing.—The method for testing Babcock bottles shall be calibration with mercury (13.5471 grams of clean, dry mercury at 20°C., to be equal to 5% on the scale), the bottle being previously filled to zero with mercury. The mercury and cork, alcohol and burette, and alcohol and brass plunger methods may be employed for the rapid testing of Babcock bottles, but the accuracy of all questionable bottles shall be determined by calibration with mercury. The method for testing pipettes and graduates shall be calibration by measuring in a burette the quantity of water (at 20°C.) delivered. (C) Limit of error.—For standard Babcock milk bottles the error at any point of the scale shall not exceed 9.1%. For standard Babcock cream bottles the error at any point of the scale shall not exceed 0.5 %. For standard milk pipettes the error shall not exceed 0.05 cc. For acid measures the error shall not exceed 0.2 ce. 15 DETERMINATION. Pipette 17.6 ec. of the carefully mixed sample into a test bottle and add 17.5 ce. of commercial sulphuric acid (sp. gr. 1.82-1.83). Mix and, when the curd is dissolved, centrifugalize for 4 minutes at the required speed for the machine used. Add boiling water, filling to the neck of the bottle, and whirl for 1 minute; again add boiling water so as to bring the fat within the scale on the neck of the bottle, and, after whirling for 1 minute more, read the length of the fat column, making the reading at 57°-60°C. at which temperature the fat is wholly liquid. The reading gives directly the per cent of fat in the milk. Details of the manipulation of the Babcock test and its application in the analy- sis or dairy products other than milk are described by Farrington and Woll’, and Van Slyke*. ADDED WATER. (In conjunction with the copper, acetic or sour serum refraction method, the determination of the ash of the sour serum or of the acetic serum should be made in all cases where the indices of refraction fall below the minimum limit so as to eliminate all possibility of abnormal milk.) XXII] DAIRY PRODUCTS 291 16 ACETIC SERUM.—TENTATIVE. (a) Zeiss immersion refractometer reading.—To 100 ce. of milk at a temperature of about 20°C. add 2 ec. of 25% acetic acid (sp. gr. 1.035) in a beaker and heat the mixture, covered with a watch glass, in a water bath for 20 minutes at a tempera- ture of 70°C. Place the beaker on ice water for 10 minutes and separate the curd from the serum by filtering through a 12.5 em. folded filter. Transfer about 35 ce. of the serum to 1 of the beakers that accompanies the control-temperature bath used in connection with the Zeiss immersion refractometer, and take the refrac- tometer reading at exactly 20°C., using a thermometer graduated to tenths of a degree. A reading below 39 indicates added water; between 39 and 40, the addition of water is suspected. (b) Ash.—Transfer 25 cc. of the serum to a flat-bottomed platinum dish and evaporate to dryness on a water bath. Then heat over a low flame (to avoid spat- tering) until the contents are thoroughly charred, place the dish in an electric muffle, preferably with pyrometer attached, and ignite to a white ash at a tem- perature not greater than 500°C. (900°F.). Cool and weigh. Express the result as grams per 100 cc. Results below 0.715 gram per 100 cc. indicate added water. Multiply by the factor 1.021 (dilution of the acetic serum being 2%) to obtain the result on the sour serum ash. 17 SOUR SERUM.—TENTATIVE. (a) Zeiss immersion refractometer reading.—Allow the milk to sour spontane- ously, filter and determine the immersion refractometer reading of the clear serum at 20°C. A reading below 38.3 indicates added water. (b) Ash'.—Determine the ash in 25 ce. of the serum, obtained in (a), as directed in 16 (b). Results below 0.730 gram per 100 cc. indicate added water. 18 ZEISS REFRACTOMETER READING OF COPPER SERUM.—TENTATIVE. To 1 volume of copper sulphate solution (72.5 grams of copper sulphate per liter, adjusted if necessary to read 36 at 20°C. on the scale of the Zeiss immersion refractometer, or, to a specific gravity of 1.0448 at ) add 4 volumes of milk. Shake well and filter. Determine the Zeiss refractometer reading of the clear serum at 20°C. A reading below 36 indicates added water. GELATIN. 19 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. To 10 ce. of the milk add an equal volume of acid mercuric nitrate solution (mer- cury dissolved in twice its weight of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42) and this solution diluted to 25 times its volume with water), shake the mixture, add 20 cc. of water, shake again, allow to stand 5 minutes and filter. If much gelatin is present, the filtrate will be opalescent and cannot be obtained quite clear. To a portion of the filtrate contained in a test tube, add an equal volume of saturated aqueous picric acid solution. A yellow precipitate will be produced in the presence of any con- siderable amount of gelatin, while smaller amounts will be indicated by a cloudi- ness. In the absence of gelatin the filtrate will remain perfectly clear. 20 PRESERVATIVES.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under X. To test for salicylic or benzoic acid acidify 100 cc. of the milk with 5 cc. of hydrochloric acid (1 to 3), shake until curdled, filter and treat the clear filtrate as directed under X, 2, 3 or 8. 292 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. To test for formaldehyde proceed as directed under X, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, or 23, applying the test directly to the milk. COLORING MATTERS. 21 Leach Method.—Tentative. Warm about 150 cc. of milk in a casserole over a flame and add about 5 ce. of acetic acid, then slowly continue the heating nearly to the boiling point while stir- ring. Gather the curd, when possible, into one mass with a stirring rod and pour off the whey. If the curd breaks up into small flecks, separate from the whey by straining through a sieve or colander. Press the curd free from adhering liquid, transfer to a small flask and macerate for several hours, preferably overnight, in about 50 cc. of ether, the flask being tightly corked and shaken at intervals. De- cant the ether extract intoan evaporating dish, remove theether by evaporation and test the fatty residue for annatto as directed in XI, 24. The curd of an uncolored milk is perfectly white after complete extraction with ether, as is also that of a milk colored with annatto. If the extracted fat-free curd is distinctly colored an orange or yellowish color, a coal tar dye is indicated. In many cases upon treating a lump of a fat-free curd in a test tube with a little strong hydrochloric acid the color changes to pink, indicating the presence of a dye simi- lar to aniline yellow or butter yellow or perhaps one of the acid azo yellows or oranges. In such cases, separate and identify the coloring matter present in the curd as directed under XI. If aniline yellow, butter yellow, or other oil-soluble dye is present, the greater part will be found in the ether extract containing the fat. In such cases proceed as directed under XI, 3. In some cases the presence of coal tar dyes can be detected by treating about 10 ce. of the milk directly with an equal volume of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.20) in a porcelain casserole, giving the dish a slight rotary motion. In the presence of some dyes the separated curd acquires a pink coloration. CREAM. 22 SOLIDS.—OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed in 1, employing 2-3 grams of the sample. 23 ASH.—OFFICIAL.

Dilute 40 grams of the homogeneous sample with 60 grams of water and pro- ceed as directed under 1 to 15, inclusive, 19, 20 and 21, correcting the results for the dilution. CONDENSED MILK (SWEETENED). 32 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. If cold, place the can in water at 30°-35°C. until warm. Open, scrape out all milk adhering to the interior of the can and mix by transferring the contents to a dish sufficiently large to stir thoroughly and make the whole mass homogeneous. Weigh 100 grams into a 500 cc. flask and make up to the mark with water. If the milk will not dissolve completely, weigh out each portion for analysis separately. 33 TOTAL SOLIDS.—OFFICIAL. Use 10 cc. of the solution, prepared as directed in 32, and proceed as directed in 1, drying either on sand or asbestos fiber. 34 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Evaporate 10 cc. of the solution, prepared as directed in 32, to dryness on a water bath and ignite the residue as directed under VIII, 4. 35 PROTEIN.— OFFICIAL.

Dilute 100 ce. of the solution, prepared as directed in 32, in a 250 cc. flask to about 200 cc., add 6 ce. of Fehling’s copper sulphate solution [VIII, 19 (a)] and make up to the mark. Filter through a dry filter and determine lactose as directed in VIII, 46 or 48. 37 FAT OR ETHER EXTRACT. Roese-Gotilieb Method.—O fficial. Weigh 4-5 grams of the homogeneous sample into a Rohrig tube or some similar apparatus, dilute with water to about 10.5cc. and proceed as directed under 12. 38 SUCROSE.—TENTATIVE. Determine sucrose by difference, deducting the milk solids (lactose, protein, fat and ash) from the total solids. 294 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. BUTTER AND ITS SUBSTITUTES. 39 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. lf large quantities of butter are to be sampled, use a butter trier or sampler. Melt completely the portions thus drawn, 100-500 grams, in a closed vessel at as low a temperature as possible. When softened, cool] and, at the same time, shake the mass violently until it is homogeneous and solidified sufficiently to prevent the separation of the water and fat. Then pour a portion into the vessel from which it is to be weighed. The sample should completely or nearly fill the vessel and should be kept in a cool place until analyzed. 40 MOISTURE.— OFFICIAL. Weigh 1.5-2.5 grams of the sample into a flat-bottomed dish, having a surface of at least 20 sq. em., dry at the temperature of boiling water and weigh at hourly intervals until the weight becomes constant. The use of clean, dry sand or asbestos is admissible. ETHER EXTRACT. 41 Indirect Method.—Official. Dissolve the dry butter, obtained in the moisture determination in which no absorbent was used, in absolute ether or petroleum ether, transfer to a weighed Gooch, with the aid of a wash bottle filled with the solvent and wash until free from fat. Dry the Gooch and contents at the temperature of boiling water until the weight is constant and determine the fat. 42 Direct Method.—Official. From the dry butter, obtained in the determination of moisture, either with or without the use of an absorbent, extract the fat with anhydrous, alcohol-free ether, receiving the solution in a weighed flask. Evaporate the ether, dry the extract at the temperature of boiling water and weigh at hourly intervals until the weight is constant. 43 CASEIN, ASH AND CHLORIN.—OFFICIAL. Cover the crucible, containing the residue from the fat determination by the indirect method, 41, and heat gently at first, then raise the temperature gradually to just below redness. The cover may then be removed and heating continued until the contents of the crucible are white. The loss in weight represents casein, and the residue in the crucible, mineral matter. Dissolve this mineral matter in water slightly acidified with nitric acid and determine chlorin, either gravimetri- cally as directed under I, 16 (a), or volumetrically as directed under III, 15. 44 SALT.— OFFICIAL. Weigh in a counterpoised beaker 5-10 grams of butter, using portions of about 1 gram from different parts of the sample. Add about 20 ec. of hot water and, after the butter is melted, transfer the whole to a separatory funnel. Insert the stopper and shake for a few moments. Let stand until all the fat has collected on the top of the water, then draw off the latter into a flask, being careful to let none of the fat globules pass. Again add hot water, rinsing the beaker, and repeat the extrac- tion 10-15 times, using 10-20 ec. of water each time. The washings will contain all but a mere trace of the sodium chlorid originally present in the butter. Determine the amount in the whole or an aliquot of the liquid by titration with standard silver nitrate, using potassium chromate as an indicator. se a XXII] DAIRY PRODUCTS 295 Fat. 45 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. Melt the butter and keep in a dry place at about 60°C. for 2-3 hours or until the water and curd have entirely separated. Filter the clear, supernatant fat through a dry filter paper in a hot water funnel or in an oven at about 60°C. If the filtered liquid fat is not perfectly clear, refilter. 46 EXAMINATION. Proceed as directed under XXIII. 47 Microscopic Method.—Official. Place on a slide a small portion of the fresh, unmelted sample taken from the inside of the mass, add a drop of pure olive oil, apply a cover-glass with gentle - pressure, and examine with a magnification of 120-150 diameters for crystals of lard, etc. Examine the same specimen with polarized light and a selenite plate without the use of oil. Pure fresh butter will show neither crystals nor a parti- colored field with selenite. Renovated butter or other fats melted and cooled and mixed with butter will usually present crystals and variegated colors with the selenite plate. For further microscopic study dissolve in a test tube 3-4 cc. of the fat in 15 ce. of ether. Close the tube with a loose plug of cotton wool and allow to stand 12-24 hours at 20°-25°C. When crystals form at the bottom of the tube, remove with a pipette, glass rod or tube, place on a slide, cover and examine under a microscope. The crystals formed by later deposits may be examined in a similar way. Com- pare with crystals obtained in the same way from samples of known purity. 48 PRESERVATIVES.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under X. 49 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE. Pour about 2 grams of the filtered fat, dissolved in ether, into each of 2 test tubes. Into one of the tubes pour 1-2 cc. of hydrochloric acid and into the other about the same volume of dilute potassium hydroxid solution. Shake the tubes well and allow to stand. In the presence of azo dyes the test tube to which the acid has been added will show a pink to wine-red coloration, while the potash solution in the other tube will show no color. If, on the other hand, annatto or other vegetable color has been used, the potash solution will be colored yellow, while no color will be apparent in the acid solution. General test.—Proceed as directed under XI, particularly 3 and 24, for the detec- tion of oil-soluble coloring matters and annatto. RENOVATED BUTTER AND OLEOMARGARINE. 50 Foam Test.—Tentative. Heat 2-3 grams of the sample, either in a spoon or dish, over afree flame. True butter will foam abundantly, whereas process butter will bump and sputter, like hot grease, without foaming. Oleomargarine behaves like process butter, but chemical tests will determine whether the sample is oleomargarine or butter. 296 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 51 Melted Fat Test.—Tentative. Melt 50-100 grams of butter or renovated butter at 50°C. The curd from butter will settle, leaving a clear supernatant fat; in the case of renovated butter, the supernatant fat remains more or less turbid. CHEESE. 52 SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE.—OFFICIAL. When the cheese can be cut, take a narrow, wedge-shaped segment reaching from the outer edge to the center of the cheese. Cut this into strips and pass 3 times through a sausage machine. When the cheese cannot be cut, take the sample with a cheese trier. If only 1 plug can be obtained, take it perpendicular to the surface of the cheese at a point one third the distance from the edge to the center and extending either entirely or half way through it. When possible, draw 3 plugs, 1 from the center, 1 from a point near the outer edge, and 1 from a point half way between the other 2. For inspection purposes reject the rind but for investigations requiring the absolute amount of fat in the cheese include the rind in the sample. Either grind the plugs in a sausage machine or cut them very finely and mix carefully, preferably the former. 53 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE. Place 2-3 grams of very short fiber asbestos (the long fiber may be made suit- able by rubbing it through a fine sieve) in a flat-bottomed platinum dish, 6-7 em. in diameter, and press the asbestos down firmly. Place in the dish a glass rod, about 5 mm. in diameter and slightly longer than the diameter of the dish. Ignite, cool and weigh the dish and contents. Then weigh into the dish 4-5 grams of the sample, prepared as directed under 52, and mix the cheese and asbestos intimately with the glass rod until the mass is homogeneous. Leave the mass in as loose a con- dition as possible to facilitate the drying. Dry the mixture in an oven at 100°C. and weigh at 1-1} hour intervals until the weight becomes constant (3 weighings are usually sufficient). 54 ASH AND SALT.—OFFICIAL. The dry residue from the moisture determination may be used for the determi- nation of ash. If the cheese be rich in fat, the asbestos will be saturated with it. Ignite cautiously to avoid spattering and remove the lamp while the fat is burn- ing off. When the flame has died out, complete the burning in a muffle at low red- ness. When desired, the salt may be determined in the ash, as directed in 43. 55 NITROGEN.— OFFICIAL. Determine nitrogen as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, using about 2 grams of cheese, and multiply the percentage of nitrogen by 6.38 to obtain the per cent of nitrogen compounds. 56 ACIDITY.—TENTATIVE. To 10 grams of finely divided cheese add water at a temperature of 40°C. until the volume equals 105 cc., shake vigorously and filter. Titrate 25 cc. portions of the filtrate, representing 2.5 grams of the sample, with standard sodium hydroxid, preferably N/10, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Express the result in terms of lactic acid. XXII] DAIRY PRODUCTS 297 57 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XI. FAT. 58 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. (a) Alkaline extraction.—Treat about 300 grams of the cheese, cut into frag- ments the size of a pea, with 700 cc. of 5% potassium hydroxid solution at 20°C. in a large, wide-necked flask, shaking vigorously to dissolve the casein. In 5-10 minutes the casein will be dissolved and the fat will rise to the surface in lumps. Collect the lumps of fat into as large a mass as possible by shaking gently. Pour cold water into the flask until the fat is driven up into the neck and remove it by suitable means. Wash the fat thus obtained with just sufficient water to remove the residue of the alkali which it may contain. The fat is not perceptibly attacked by the alkali in this treatment, is practically all separated in a short time and is then easily prepared for chemical analysis by filtering and drying as directed in 45. (b) Acid extraction —Pass the cheese through a grinding machine, transfer to a large flask and cover with warm water, using 1 cc. for every gram of cheese. Shake thoroughly and add sulphuric acid (sp. gr. 1.82-1.825) slowly and in small quanti- ties, shaking after each addition of acid. The total amount of acid used should be the same as the amount of water employed. Remove the fat, which separates after standing a few minutes, by means of a separatory funnel, wash free from acid, filter and dry as directed in 45. 59 EXAMINATION.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XXIII. ESTIMATION, 60 Gravimetric Method.—Official. Cover the perforations in the bottom of an extraction tube with dry asbestos felt, and place on this a mixture containing equal parts of anhydrous copper sul- phate and pure, dry sand to a depth of about 5 cm., packing loosely. Cover the upper surface of this material with a layer of asbestos. Place on this 2-5 grams of the sample and extract with anhydrous ether for 5 hours in a continuous extrac- tion apparatus. Remove the cheese and grind it with pure sand in a mortar to a fine powder, return the mixed cheese and sand to the extraction tube, wash the mor- tar with ether, add the washings to the tube and continue the extraction for at least 10 hours. 61 Schmidt-Bondzynski Method, Modified.—Tentative. Rub up, by means of a glass rod, 1 gram of the homogeneous sample with 9 cc. of water and 1 cc. of concentrated ammonium hydroxid in a narrow 100-125 cc. beaker. Digest the mixture at a low heat until the casein is well softened; neutralize with concentrated hydrochloric acid, using litmus as an indicator and add 10 ce. more of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Add a pinch of sand to prevent bumping and boil gently for 5 minutes, keeping the beaker covered with a watch glass. Cool the solution, transfer to a Rohrig tube or some similar apparatus, rinse the beaker with 25 cc. of washed ethyl ether and shake well. Add 25 cc. of redistilled petro- leum ether (b. p. below 65°C.), let the solutions separate and proceed from this point as directed in 12: 298 METHODS OF ANALYSIS 62 Babcock Method.—Tentative. Weigh about 6 grams of the cheese ina tareddish. Add 10cce. of boiling water and stir with a rod until the cheese softens and an even emulsion is formed, preferably adding a few drops of strong ammonium hydroxid, and keep the beaker in hot water until the emulsion is nearly completed and the mass free from lumps. If the sample is a whole milk cheese, employ a Babcock cream bottle. After cooling, transfer the contents of the beaker to the test bottle by adding to the beaker about half of the 17.6 cc. of sulphuric acid usually employed in this test, stirring with a rod, and pouring carefully into the bottle, using the remainder of the acid in 2 portions for washing out the beaker. Then proceed as directed in 15. Multiply the fat reading by 18 and divide by the weight of the sample taken to obtain the per cent of fat. BIBLIOGRAPHY. ‘Browne.

Melt solid fats and filter by means of a hot water funnel or similar apparatus. Make the different determinations on samples of this melted, homogeneous mass. Filter oils that are not clear. Keep oils and fats in a cool place and protected from light and air, otherwise they will soon become rancid. Weigh out at one time as many portions as are needed for the various determinations, using a small beaker or weighing burette. SPECIFIC GRAVITY. 2 At a -—Tentative. 20°C. 4° Determine the specific gravity of the oil at lf the specific gravity of the oil is determined at other than standard tempera- ture, the approximate specific gravity at 20°C. may be calculated by means of the following formula: G = G’ + 0.0007 (T-20°C.) in which G = specific gravity at 20°C. ; G by means of a pycnometer. specific gravity at te ; =| ll temperature at which the specific gravity was determined; 0.0007 = mean correction! for 1°C.

Place in a briskly boiling water bath for 30 minutes, replacing any evaporation from the flask by the addition of boiling water. Then insert the stopper, previous- ly heated to 100°C., remove the flask, cool and weigh. (b) The following formula may be used for calculating the weight of water (W*) which a given flask will hold at T° (weighed in air with brass weights at the tempera- ture of the room) from the weight of water (W*) (weighed in air with brass weights at the temperature of the room) contained therein at t°: T wt = Wt : [1 + 0.000026 (T — t)] in which dt = the density of water at T°; dt = the density of water at t°. 4 DETERMINATION. Fill the flask, dried at the temperature of boiling water, with the dry, hot, freshly filtered fat, which should be entirely free from air bubbles; keep in the water bath 30 minutes at the temperature of boiling water. Insert the stopper, previously heated to 100°C., cool and weigh. Divide the weight of contained fat by the weight of contained water previously found to obtain the specific gravity. The weight of water at boiling temperature must be determined under the baro- metric conditions prevailing at the time the determination is made. 299 300 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. INDEX OF REFRACTION. 5 General Directions.—Tentative. Place the instrument in such a position that diffuse daylight or any form of arti- ficial light can readily be obtained for illumination. Circulate through the prisms a stream of water of constant temperature. Determine the index of refraction with any standard instrument, reading oils at 20°C. and fats at 40°C. The readings of the Zeiss butyro-refractometer can be reduced to standard tem- perature by the following formula’: R = R’ + 0.55 (T’ — T) in which R = the reading reduced to temperature T; R’ = the reading at T’C. T’ = the temperature at which reading R’ is made; T = the standard temperature; 0.55 = correction in scale divisions for 1°C. With oils the factor 0.58 is substituted in the formula for 0.55, since they have a higher index of refraction. The readings of instruments, which give the index of refraction directly, can be reduced to standard temperature by substituting the factor 0.000365 for 0.55 in the formula. As the temperature rises the refractive index falls. The instrument used may be standardized with water at 20°C., the theoretical refractive index of water at that temperature being 1.3330. Any correction found should be made on all readings. The index of refraction varies directly with the specific gravity. If the results appear abnormal, compare the specific refractive power® with the normal. Calcu- 1 , In which N equals N — late the specific refractive power from the formula — D the refractive index and D the specific gravity. According to Procter* the Lorenz Ne , N — formula 42D gives much more satisfactory results than D 6 By Means of the Abbé Refractometer.—Official. To charge the instrument, open the double prism by means of the screw head and place a few drops of the sample on the prism or, if preferred, open the prisms slightly by turning the screw head and pour a few drops of the sample into the funnel-shaped aperture between the prisms. Then close the prisms firmly by tightening the screw head. Allow the instrument to stand for a few minutes before the reading is made, so that the temperature of the sample and the instru- ment will be the same. The method of measurement is based upon the observation of the position of the border line of total reflection in relation to the faces of a prism of flint glass. Bring this border line into the field of vision of the telescope by rotating the double prism by means of the alidade in the following manner: Hold the sector firmly, move the alidade backward or forward until the field of vision is divided into a light and a dark portion. The line dividing these portions is the ‘border line’’. This, as a rule, will not be a sharp line but a band of color which is eliminated by rotating the screw head of the compensator until a sharp, colorless line is obtained. The border line should now be adjusted so that it falls on the point of intersection of the 2 cross hairs. Read the refractive index of the substance directly on the scale of the sector. Check the correctness of the instrument, as directed under 5, or by means of the quartz plate which accompanies it, using monobromnaphtha- lene, and make the necessary correction in the reading. XXTIT] FATS AND OILS 301 7 By Means of the Zeiss Butyro-Refractometer.—O fficial. Place 2 or 3 drops of the filtered fat on the surface of the lower prism. Close the prisms and adjust the mirror until it gives the sharpest reading. If the reading be indistinct after running water of a constant temperature through the instru- ment for some time, the fat is unevenly distributed on the surfaces of the prism. As the index of refraction is greatly affected by temperature, care must be used to keep the latter constant. The instrument should be carefully adjusted by means of the standard fluid which is supplied with it. Convert the degrees of the instru- ment into refractive indices from 8. 8 TABLE 20.

Wiley Method.—Offcial. 9 REAGENT. Alcohol-water mixture.—Specific gravity same as that of the fat to be examined. Prepare by boiling, separately, water and 95% alcohol by volume for 10 minutes to remove the gases which may be held in solution. While still hot pour the water into the test tube until it is almost half full. Nearly fill the test tube with the hot alcohol, poured down the side of the inclined tube to avoid too much mixing. If the aleohol be added after the water has cooled, the mixture will contain so many air bubbles as to be unfit for use. 10 DETERMINATION. Prepare disks of fat as follows: Allow the melted and filtered fat to fall a distance of 15-20 em. from a dropping tube upon a piece of ice or upon the surface of cold mercury. The disks thus formed should be 1-1.5 cm. in diameter and weigh about 302 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 200 mg. When solid remove the disk and allow to stand 2-3 hours in order to obtain the normal melting point. Place a test tube, 30 by 3.5 cm., containing the alcohol-water mixture, in a tall beaker, 35 by 10 cm., containing ice and water, until cold. Then drop the disk of fat into the tube and it will at once sink to a point where the density of the alcohol- water mixture is exactly equivalent to its own. Lower an accurate thermometer, which can be read to 0.1°C., into the test tube until the bulb is just above the disk. In order to secure an even temperature in all parts of the alcohol-water mixture around the disk, stir gently with the thermometer. Slowly heat the water in the beaker, constantly stirring it by means of an air blast or other suitable device. When the temperature of the alcohol-water mixture rises to about 6°C. below the melting point of the fat, the disk of fat begins to shrivel and gradually rolls up into an irregular mass. Lower the thermometer until the fat particle is even with the center of the bulb. Rotate the thermometer bulb gently and regulate the temperature so that about 10 minutes for the increment of the last 2°C. are required. As soon as the fat mass becomes spherical, read the thermometer. Remove the tube from the bath and again cool. Place in the bath a second tube containing the alcohol-water mixture. The test tube is of sufficiently low tempera- ture to cool the bath to the desired point, ice water having been used for cooling. After the first or preliminary determination, regulate the temperature of the bath so as to reach a maximum of about 1.5°C. above the melting point of the fat under examination. Do not allow the edge of the disk to touch the sides of the tube. If so, make a new determination. Run triplicate determinations of which the second and third results should agree closely. 11 Capillary Tube Method’.—Tentative. Draw the melted fat or fatty acids into a thin-walled capillary tube. Use a column of fat 1-2 cm. long, according to the length of the thermometer bulb. Seal lend of the tube and cool on ice 12-15 hours. Attach the capillary tube to the bulb of an accurate thermometer, graduated to 0.2°C., immerse in a large test tube of water surrounded by a beaker of water and heat very slowly. An apparatus similar to that indicated in Fig. 12 may be used. The temperature at which the substance becomes transparent is taken as the melting point. TITER TEST. Alcoholic or Aqueous Sodium Hydroxid Method.—Tentative. 12 APPARATUS. Standard thermometer.—The thermometer must have a zero mark, 0.1° gradua- tions between 10°-60°C., and auxiliary reservoirs at the upper end and between the 0° and the 10° marks. The cavity in the capillary tube between the 0° and the 10° marks must be at least 1 em. below the 10° mark, which must be about 3-4 cm. above the bulb, the total length of the thermometer being about 38 cm. The bulb should be about 3 em. long and 6mm. in diameter. The stem of the thermometer should be 6 mm. in diameter and made of the best thermometer tubing, with scale etched on the stem, the graduation to be clear cut and distinct. The thermometer should have been annealed for 75 hours at 450°C., and the bulb should be of Jena normal 16™ glass, moderately thin, so that the thermometer will be quick-acting. XXTIT] FATS AND OILS 303 13 DETERMINATION. Saponify 75 grams of the sample in a metal dish with 60 cc. of 30% sodium hy- droxid solution (36° Baumé) and 75 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume or 120 cc. of water. Evaporate to dryness over a very low flame or on an iron or asbestos plate, stirring constantly. Dissolve the dry soap in a liter of boiling water and, if alcohol has been used, boil for 40 minutes to remove it, adding sufficient water to replace that lost in boiling. Liberate the fatty acids by adding 100 ce. of 30% sulphuric ee oT FIG. 12. APPARATUS FOR THE MELTING POINT DETERMINATION. acid (25° Baumé) and boil until they form a clear, transparent layer. Wash with boiling water until free from sulphuric acid, collect in a small beaker and place on a steam bath until the water has settled and the fatty acids are clear; then decant into a dry beaker, filter while hot and dry 20 minutes at 100°C. When dried, cool the fatty acids to 15°-20°C. above the expected titer and transfer to the titer tube, 25 by 100 mm. (1 by 4inches) and made of glass about 1 mm. in thickness. Place in a 16 ounce wide-mouthed bottle of clear glass, 70 by 150 mm. (2.8 by 6 304 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. inches), fitted with a perforated cork, so as to hold the tube rigidly when in position. Suspend the standard thermometer so that it can be used as a stirrer, and stir the mass slowly until the mercury remains stationary for 30 seconds. Then allow the thermometer to hang quietly, with the bulb in the center of the mass, and observe the rise of the mercury column. The highest point to which it rises is regarded as the titer of the fatty acids. Test the fatty acids for complete saponification as follows: Place 3 ce. in a test tube and add 15 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume. Bring the mixture to a boil and add an equal volume of ammonium hydroxid (sp. gr. 0.96). A clear solution should result. The titer must be made at about 20°C. for all fats having a titer above 30°C., and at 10°C. below the titer for all other fats. 14 Glycerol-Potassium Hydroxzid Method.—Tentative. Heat 75 cc. of glycerol-potassium hydroxid solution (25 grams of potassium hy- droxid in 100 cc. of high-test glycerol) to 150°C. in an 800 cc. beaker; then add 50 ce. of the oil or melted fat, previously filtered if necessary to remove foreign substances. Saponification often takes place almost immediately, but heating, with frequent stirring, should be continued for 15 minutes, avoiding a temperature much above 150°C. When the saponification is complete, as indicated by the perfectly homo- geneous solution, pour the soap into an 800 cc. casserole containing about 500 cc. of nearly boiling water, add carefully 50 ec. of 30% sulphuric acid and heat the solution, with frequent stirring, until the layer of fatty acids separates out perfectly clear. Transfer the fatty acids to a tall separatory funnel, wash 3-4 times with boiling water to remove all mineral acids, draw the fatty acids off into a small beaker, and allow to stand on a steam bath until the water has settled out and the acids are clear. Filter into a dry beaker and heat to 150°C. on a thin asbestos plate, stirring continually with the thermometer, transfer to a titer tube, fill it to within 2.5 em. of the top and take the titer as directed in 13. IODIN ABSORPTION NUMBER. Hibl Method.—O fficial. 15 REAGENTS. (a) Hibl’s iodin solution.—Dissolve 26 grams of pure iodin in 500 cc. of 95% alco- hol by volume. Dissolve 30 grams of mercuric chlorid in 500 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume. Filter the latter solution, if necessary, and mix the 2 solutions. Let the mixed solution stand 12 hours before using. The solution loses strength with age, but can be used so long as 35 cc. of N/10 thiosulphate are equivalent to 25 cc. of the iodin solution. (b) N/10 sodium thiosulphate.—Standardize this solution as follows: Place in a glass-stoppered flask 20 cc. of the N/10 potassium dichromate and 10 cc. of the 15% potassium iodid solution. Add 5 ce. of strong hydrochloric acid. Dilute with 100 cc. of water and allow the N/10 sodium thiosulphate to flow slowly into the flask until the yellow color of the liquid has almost disappeared, add a few drops of the starch indicator and, with constant shaking, continue to add the N/10 sodium thio- sulphate until the blue color just disappears. (C) Starch indicator.—Prepare as directed under VII, 3 (a). (d) 15% potassium iodid solution. (€) N/10 potassium dichromate.—The dichromate solution should be checked against pure iron. XXIII] FATS AND OILS 305 16 DETERMINATION. Weigh about 0.500 gram of fat, or 0.250 gram of oil (0.100-0.200 gram in the case of drying oils which have a very high absorbent power), into a 500 cc. glass-stoppered flask or bottle. Dissolve the fat or oil in 10 cc. of chloroform. Add 30 cc. of the Hiibl iodin solution in the case of fats, or 40-50 cc. in the case of oils. Place the bottle in a dark place and allow to stand for 3 hours, shaking occasionally. This time must be adhered to closely in order to obtain good results. The time allowed does not give the complete iodin absorption power of an oil or fat and can not be compared with determinations in which 6-12 hours have been used. It gives very satisfactory comparative results, but the time factor must be closely observed. The excess of iodin should be at least as much as is absorbed. Add 20 ce. of the 15% potassium iodid solution, shake thoroughly and then add 100 cc. of water, wash- ing down any free iodin that may be found on the stopper. Titrate the iodin with the N/10 sodium thiosulphate, adding the latter gradually, with constant shaking, until the yellow color of the solution has almost disappeared. Add a few drops of the starch indicator and continue the titration until the blue color has entirely disappeared. Toward the end of the titration, stopper the bottle and shake vio- lently, so that any iodin remaining in solution in the chloroform may be taken up by the potassium iodid solution. Conduct 2 blank determinations along with that on the sample. The number of cc. of the N/10 sodium thiosulphate required by the blank less the amount used in the determination gives the thiosulphate equivalent of the iodin absorbed by the fat or oil. Ascertain the iodin number by calculating the per cent by weight of iodin absorbed. Hanus Method.—Official. 17 REAGENTS. Hanus’ iodin solution.—Dissolve 13.2 grams of iodin in 1 liter of glacial acetic acid (99.5%) which shows no reduction with dichromate and sulphuric acid. Add enough bromin to double the halogen content as determined by titration (3 ce. of bromin are about the proper amount). The iodin may be dissolved by heating but the solution should be cold when the bromin is added. A convenient way to prepare the Hanus solution is as follows: Measure 825 ce. of acetic acid which has shown no reduction by the dichromate test and dissolve in it 13.615 grams of iodin with the aid of heat. Cool and titrate 25 cc. of this solu- tion against the N/10 sodium thiosulphate. Add 3 cc. of bromin to 200 ce. of acetic acid and titrate 5 ce. of the solution against the N/10 sodium thiosulphate. Cal- culate the quantity of bromin solution required exactly to double the halogen con- tent of the remaining 800 ce. of iodin solution as follows: A = Bin which C A = cc. of bromin solution required ; ‘ B = 800 X the thiosulphate equivalent of 1 cc. of iodin solution; C = the thiosulphate equivalent of 1 cc. of bromin solution. Example: 136.15 grams of iodin are dissolved in 8250 cc. of acetic acid. 30 ce. of bromin are dissolved in 2000 ce. of acetic acid. Titrating 50 cc. of the iodin solution against the standard thiosulphate shows that 1 cc. of the iodin solution equals 1.1 cc. of the thiosulphate (0.0165 gram of iodin). Titrating 5 ce. of the bro- min solution shows that 1 cc. of the bromin solution equals 4.6 cc. of the thiosulphate. Then the quantity of bromin solution required to Spi sate the oy content of ae cee APG ; 8200 X 1. the remaining 8200 cc. of iodin solution is equivalent to or 1961 ce. Upon 306 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. mixing the 2 solutions in this proportion, a total volume of 10161 cc. is obtained, containing 135.3 grams of iodin. In order to reduce this solution to the proper strength (13.2 grams iodin per liter), 10.161 X 13.2 = 134.1; 135.3 — 134.1 = 1.2 grams of iodin present in excess, or ee The other reagents used are described under 15. = 91 cc. of acetic acid which must be added. 18 DETERMINATION. Weigh about 0.500 gram of fat, or 0.250 gram of oil (0.100-0.200 gram in the case of drying oils which have a very high absorbent power), into a 500 cc. glass-stoppered flask or bottle. Dissolve the fat, or oil, in 10 ce. of chloroform, add 25 ec. of the Hanus iodin solution and allow to stand for 30 minutes, shaking occasionally. The excess of iodin should be at least 60% of the amount added. Add 10 ce. of the 15% potassium iodid solution and continue as directed under 16. SAPONIFICATION NUMBER (KOETTSTORFER NUMBER).—OFFICIAL. 1 REAGENTS. (a) N/2 hydrochloric acid.—Prepare as directed under I, 16 (a). (b) Alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution.—Dissolve 40 grams of the purest potassium hydroxid in 1 liter of 95% redistilled alcohol by volume. The alcohol should be redistilled from potassium hydroxid over which it has been standing for some time, or with which it has been boiled for some time using a reflux condenser. The solution must be clear and the potassium hydroxid free from carbonates. 20 DETERMINATION. Weigh accurately about 5 grams of the filtered sample into a 250-300 cc. Erlen- meyer flask. Pipette 50 cc. of the alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution into the flask, allowing the pipette to drain for a definite time. Connect the flask with an air condenser and boil until the fat is completely saponified (about 30 minutes). Cool and titrate with the N/2 hydrochloric acid, using phenolphthalein as an indi- cator. Calculate the Koettstorfer number (mg. of potassium hydroxid required to saponify 1 gram of fat). Conduct 2 or 3 blank determinations, using the same pipette and draining for the same length of time as above. 21 SOLUBLE ACIDS.—OFFICIAL. Place the flask, used in 20, on a water bath afd evaporate the alcohol. Add such an amount of N/2 hydrochloric acid that its volume plus the amount used in titrat- ing for the saponification number will be 1 cc. in excess of the amount required to neutralize the 50 cc. of the alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution added, and place on the steam bath until the separated fatty acids form a clear layer on the upper surface of the liquid. Fill to the neck with hot water and cool in ice water until the cake of fatty acids is thoroughly hardened. Pour the liquid contents of the flask through a filter into a liter flask. Fill the flask again with hot water, set on the steam bath until the fatty acids collect at the surface, cool by immersing in ice water, and again filter the liquid into the liter flask. Repeat this treatment with hot water 3 times, cooling and collecting the washings in the liter flask after each treatment. Titrate the combined washings with N/10 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Subtract 5 (corresponding to the excess of 1 ec. of N/2 acid) from the number of cc. of N/10 alkali used and multiply by 0.0088 to obtain the weight of soluble acids as butyric acid. Calculate the percentage of soluble acids. el XXTIT] FATS AND OILS 307 22 INSOLUBLE ACIDS (HEHNER NUMBER).—OFFICIAL. Allow the flask, containing the cake of insoluble fatty acids from 21 and the paper through which the soluble fatty acids have been filtered, to drain and dry, for 12 hours. Transfer the cake, together with as much of the fatty acids as can be removed from the filter paper, to a weighed, wide-mouthed beaker flask. Then , place the funnel, containing the filter, in the neck of the flask and wash the paper thoroughly with hot absolute alcohol. Remove the funnel, evaporate off the alco- hol, dry for 2 hours at 100°C., cool in a desiccator and weigh. Again dry for 2 hours, cool and weigh. If there is any considerable decrease in weight, re-heat for 2 hours and weigh again. Calculate the percentage of insoluble fatty acids. SOLUBLE VOLATILE ACIDS (REICHERT-MEISSL NUMBER). (As these determinations are entirely empirical, the directions given must be | followed exactly. In reporting results the method used should always be stated.). Reichert-Meissl Method.—O ficial. 23 REAGENTS. (a) Sodium hydroxid solution (1 to 1).—The sodium hydroxid should be as free as possible from carbonates. Protect the solution from contact with carbon dioxid. Allow to settle and use only the clear liquid. (b) Potassium hydroxid solution.—Dissolve 100 grams of the purest potassium hydroxid in 58 cc. of hot water. Cool in a stoppered vessel, decant the clear solu- tion and protect from contact with carbon dioxid. (C) 95% alcohol by volume.—Distilled over sodium hydroxid. (A) Dilute sulphuric acid.—Dilute 200 cc. of the strongest acid to 1 liter with water. (e€) Barium (or sodium) hydroxid solution.—Standardize an approximately N/10° solution. (f) Indicator.—Dissolve 1 gram of phenolphthalein in 100 cc. of 95% alcohol. (8) Pumice stone.—Heat small pieces to a white heat, plunge in water, and keep under water until used. 24 SAPONIFICATION. Weigh 5.75 cc., about 5 grams, of the filtered sample, into a saponification flask and proceed by 1 of the following 3 methods. (1) Under pressure with alcohol.—Place 10 cc. of the 95% alcohol in the flask containing the fat (the flask must be made of strong, well-annealed glass, capable of resisting the tension of alcoholic vapor at 100°C.) and add 2 cc. of the sodium hydroxid solution. Insert a soft, cork stopper into the neck of the flask, tie down and place the stoppered flask on a water or steam bath for at least an hour, rotating the flask gently from time to time. Cool before opening. (2) Under pressure without the use of alcohol.—Place 2 cc. of the potassium hy- droxid solution in the flask containing the fat (the flask being round-bottomed and made of well-annealed glass to resist pressure), cork and heat as directed under (1). This method avoids the formation of esters and the removal of the alcohol after saponification. (3) With a reflux condenser and the use of alcohol.—Place 10 cc. of the 95% alcohol in the flask containing the fat, add 2 cc. of the sodium hydroxid solution and heat on a steam bath until the saponification is complete, using a reflux condenser. After the saponification, if alcohol was used, remove it by evaporation on a steam bath. 308 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 25 DISTILLATION AND TITRATION. Dissolve the soap, obtained as directed under 24, by adding 135 cc. of recently boiled water (132 cc. if potassium hydroxid was used in the saponification) and warm on the water bath, with occasional shaking, until the solution is clear. Cool to 60°-70°C., add 5 cc. of the dilute sulphuric acid (8 cc. if potassium hydroxid was used in the saponification), stopper loosely and heat on the water bath until the fatty acids form a clear, transparent layer. Cool to room temperature, add a few pieces of the pumice stone and connect with a glass condenser by means of a bulb tube. Heat slowly with a free flame until ebullition begins and distil, regulating the flame so as to collect 110 cc. of distillate in as nearly 30 minutes as possible. Mix this distillate, filter through a dry filter, and titrate 100 cc. with the standard barium or sodium hydroxid solution, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. The red color should remain unchanged for 2-3 minutes. Multiply the number of cc. of N/10 alkali used by 1.1, divide by the weight of fat taken and multiply by 5 to obtain the Reichert-Meissl number. Correct the result by the figure obtained in a blank determination. Leffman and Beam Methcd.—Offcial. 26 REAGENTS. Glycerol-soda solution.—Add 20 cc. of the sodium hydroxid solution, prepared as directed under 23 (a), to 180 cc. of pure, concentrated glycerol. The other reagents used are described under 23. 27 DETERMINATION. Add 20 ce. of the glycerol-soda solution to about 5 grams of the fat in a flask, weighed as directed under 24, and heat over a free flame, or on an asbestos plate, until complete saponification takes place, as shown by the mixture becoming perfectly clear. If foaming occurs, shake the flask gently. Add 1385 ec. of recently boiled water, drop by drop at first, to prevent foaming, and 5 ce. of the dilute sulphuric acid, distil without previous melting of the fatty acids, using an apparatus similar to that illustrated in 28, Fig. 13, regulating the flame so as to collect 110 cc. of distillate in as nearly 30 minutes as possible. Filter, titrate the volatile acids and calculate the Reichert-Meissl number, as directed under 25. Conduct a blank determination and correct the result accordingly. INSOLUBLE VOLATILE ACIDS (POLENSKE NUMBER). 28 Polenske Method*.—Tentative. Proceed as directed under 27 up to the point at which 110 cc. of distillate have been collected, except that only 20 minutes are allowed for the distillation, em- ploying an apparatus of the exact dimensions illustrated in Fig. 13. Substitute a 25 cc. cylinder for the receiving flask to collect any drops that may fall after the flame has been removed. Immerse the flask containing the distillate almost com- pletely in water at 15°C. for 15 minutes, filter the 110 cc. of distillate and determine the approximate Reichert-Meissl number, if desired, as in 27, avoiding too violent shaking of the distillate and consequent emulsification of the insoluble acids pre- vious to filtration. Remove the remainder of the soluble acids from the insoluble acids upon the filter paper by washing with 3 successive portions of 15 cc. of water, previously passed through the condenser, the 25 cc. cylinder and the 110 cc. receiv- ing flask. Then dissolve the insoluble acids by passing 3 successive 15 cc. por- XXII] FATS AND OILS 309 tions of neutral 90% alcohol by volume through the filter, each portion previously passed through the condenser, the 25 ec. cylinder and the 110 cc. receiving flask. Titrate the combined alcoholic washings with N/10 sodium hydroxid, using phenol- phthalein as an indicator. Run a blank in the same manner and subtract the quantity of the standard alkali required to neutralize the 45 cc. of alcohol, used in washing the apparatus and filter paper of the blank, from that required in each Polenske determination. Report the Polenske number as the number of cc. of N/10 alkali required to neutralize the insoluble volatile acids from the 110 ce. of distillate as obtained above. Since the entire distillate is filtered it is not necessary to multiply the burette reading by 1.1, as in 25, but a calculation must be made, as directed in 25, to reduce the actual number of cc. found in the titration to the number which would have been required had exactly 5 grams of fat been used. H : H : H : ' H H H ' H Eg & 5 N “ ' : FIG. 13. APPARATUS’ FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE POLENSKE NUMBER. LIQUID AND SOLID FATTY ACIDS. 29 Muter Method, Modified by Lane*.—Tentative. Weigh 5 grams of the oil or fat into an Erlenmeyer flask, saponify, precipitate with lead acetate solution and treat the precipitated lead soap with ether, as directed under 37. Filter the ether solutien of the soluble lead soap into a Muter tube or separatory funnel and decompose the soap by shaking with 40 cc. of hydrochloric acid (1 to 5). The soap is completely decomposed when the ether becomes clear and colorless. Draw off the lead chlorid from the ether solution and wash the ether free from acid. Evaporate, until free from ether, an aliquot of this solution in an atmosphere of carbon dioxid, in order to prevent the oxidation of the oleic acid, and weigh to determine the per cent of liquid acids; determine the iodin number as directed in 16 or 18, using 0.2-0.3 gram of this residue. 310 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. As it is very difficult to dry the unsaturated acids without very serious oxidation, it is just as satisfactory to determine the weight of insoluble acids by the following method: Wash the insoluble soap left on the filter into a flask, decompose with hydro- chloric acid and heat until the fatty acids are melted. Fill the flask with hot water, cool, pour off the water and again wash the solidified fatty acids. Dissolve in hot 95% alcohol by volume, transfer to a weighed dish, remove the alcohol by evapo- ration, dry, weigh and calculate the per cent of solid fatty acids. 30 FREE FATTY ACIDS.—OFFICIAL. Weigh 20 grams of fat, or oil, into a flask, add 50 ec. of 95% alcohol by volume which has been neutralized with dilute sodium hydroxid solution, using phenol- phthalein as an indicator, and heat to boiling. Shake the flask thoroughly in order to dissolve the free fatty acids as completely as possible. Titrate with N/10 alkali, shaking thoroughly until the pink color persists after vigorous shaking. Express the results either as percentage of oleic acid, as acid degree (ce. of N/1 alkali required to neutralize the free acids in 100 grams of oil or fat), or as acid value (mg. of potassium hydroxid required to saturate the free acids in 1 gram of fat or oil). One ce. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0282 gram of oleic acid. ACETYL VALUE. 31 Benedikt-Lewkowitsch Method?.—T entative. Boil the oil or fat with an equal volume of acetic anhydrid for 2 hours, pour the mixture into a large beaker containing 500 cc. of water and boil for 30 minutes. To prevent bumping, pass a slow current of carbon dioxid into the liquid through a finely drawn out tube reaching nearly to the bottom. Allow the mixture to sepa- rate into 2 layers, siphon off the water, and boil the oily layer with fresh water until it is no longer acid to litmus paper. Separate the acetylated fat from the water and dry and filter in a drying oven. Weigh 2-4 grams of the acetylated fats into a flask and saponify with alcoholic potash asin 20. If the distillation process is to be adopted, it is not necessary to work with a standardized alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution, but in the fil- tration method, which is much shorter, the alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution must be measured exactly. In either case evaporate the alcohol after saponification and dissolve the soap in water. Then either distil or filter as follows: (1) Distillation.—Acidify with sulphuric acid (1 to 10) and distil as in 25. As several hundred ce. must be distilled, either run a current of steam through or add portions of water from time to time (500-700 cc. of distillate will be sufficient). Filter the distillates to remove any insoluble acids carried over by the steam and titrate with N/10 potassium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Mul- tiply the number of ce. of alkali employed by 5.61 and divide by the weight of sub- stance used to obtain the acetyl value. (2) Filtration.—Add to the soap solution a quantity of standard sulphurie acid exactly corresponding to the amount of alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution added, warm gently, filter off the free fatty acids which collect on top, wash with boiling water until the washings are no longer acid and titrate the filtrate with N/10 potassium hydroxid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Calculate the acetyl value as directed under (1). XXIII) FATS AND OILS out CHOLESTEROL AND PHYTOSTEROL IN MIXTURES OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE FATS. 32 Alcohol Extraction Method!".—T entative. Introduce 200-300 grams of the melted fat into a flat-bottomed liter flask. Close the neck of the flask with a 3-holed stopper and insert through these holes: (1) a reflux condenser; (2) a right-angled glass tube, one arm of which reaches to a point 6 mm. above the surface of the melted fat, the other being closed a short distance from the flask by means of a short piece of rubber tubing and a pinch-cock; (3) a glass tube bent so that one arm reaches down to the bottom of the flask and the other serves as a delivery tube for a 700 cc. round-bottomed flask containing 500 cc. of 95% alcohol by volume. Place the flasks, containing the melted fat and the alcohol, on a steam bath and heat so that the alcohol vapor passes through the melted fat in the liter flask and is condensed in the reflux condenser, finally collecting in a layer over the melted fat. After all the alcohol has passed in this manner into the flask containing the fat, disconnect the flask from which the alcohol has been distilled and attach a tube to the short piece of rubber tubing attached to the right-angled glass tube [see (2) above] and siphon the alcohol layer back into the alcohol distillation flask. Reconnect as at first and again distil the alcohol as in the first operation. When all the alcohol has been distilled, siphon it again into the distillation flask and extract in the same manner for a third time. Discard the fat and retain the alcohol which now contains practically all of the cholesterol and phytosterol originally present in the fat. Concentrate the alcoholic solution to about 250 cc. and add 20 cc. of potassium hydroxid solution (1 to 1) to the boiling liquid. Boil for 10 minutes to insure complete saponification of the fat, cool to room temperature and pour into a large separatory funnel containing 500 cc. of warm ether. Shake to insure thorough mixing and add 500 cc. of water. Rotate the funnel gently to avoid the formation of extremely stubborn emulsions, but mix the water thoroughly with the alcohol-ether-soap solution. A clear, sharp separation takes place at once. Draw cff the soap solution and wash the ether layer with 300 cc. of water, avoiding shaking. Repeat the washing of the ether solution with small quantities of water until all the soap is removed. ‘Transfer the ether layer to a flask and distil the ether until the volume of liquid remaining in the flask measures about 25 cc. Transfer this residue to a tall 50 cc. beaker and continue the evaporation until all the ether is driven off and the residue is per- fectly dry. If desired, a tared beaker may be used and the weight of the unsaponi- fiable matter determined at this point. Add 3-5 ce. of acetic anhydrid to the residue in the beaker, cover the beaker with a watch glass and heat to boiling over a free flame. After boiling for a few seconds, remove the beaker from the flame, cool and add 35 cc. of 60% alcohol by volume. Mix the contents of the beaker thoroughly, filter off the alcoholic solution and wash the precipitate with 60% alcohol. Dissolve the precipitate on the filter with a stream of hot 80% alcohol by volume and wash the insoluble portion well with 80% alcohol. Acetates of cholesterol and phytosterol are dissolved while the greater portion of the impurities present (including paraffin and paraffin oil if pres- ent) remain behind on the filter. Cool the combined filtrate and washings to a temperature of 10°-12°C. and allow to stand at that temperature for 2-3 hours. During this time the acetates of cholesterol and phytosterol crystallize from the solution. Collect the crystals upon a filter, wash with cold 80% alcohol and then dissolve them in a minimum amount of hot absolute alcohol. Collect the alcoholic solution of the acetates in a small, glass evaporating dish, add 2 or 3 drops of water to the solution and heat if not perfectly clear. Allow the alcohol to evaporate 312 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. spontaneously, the contents of the dish being stirred occasionally to mix the deposit of crystals, which form upon the edges, with the main body of the liquid. As soon as a good deposit of crystals has formed, collect them upon a hardened filter, wash twice with cold 90% alcohol and dry by suction, drying finally at 100°C. for 30 min- utes, and determine the melting point in the apparatus shown in 11, Fig. 12, using sulphuric acid in the outer beaker and glycerin in the inner tube. The melting point of the first crop of crystals usually gives definite information as to the presence or absence of phytosterol but the conclusion indicated should be confirmed by recrystallizing the crystals from absolute alcohol and again determin- ing the melting point. Ifthe crystals are pure cholesteryl acetate, the melting point of the second crop should agree closely with that of the first. If phytosteryl acetate is present, however, a higher melting point will be noted, as phytosteryl acetate is less soluble in alcohol than cholesteryl acetate. The melting point of cholesteryl acetate is 114°C., that of phytosteryl acetate 125°-137°C. 33 Digitonin Method. (Marcusson and Schilling'!)—Tentative. Shake vigorously 50 grams of the oil or fat for 15 minutes in a separatory funnel with 20 cc. of a 1% solution of digitonin in 95% alcohol by volume. Allow the mixture to stand for a time until the emulsion separates. The lower or fat layer should be quite clear while the alcohol layer contains a bulky, flocculent precipitate. Draw off as much as possible of the fat, avoiding any loss of the precipitate. Add 100 ce. of ether to the alcohol layer and filter the mixture. Wash the precipitate with ether until free from fat; after drying in the air, transfer it to a tall 50 ce. beaker, add 2-3 cc. of acetic anhydrid and cover the beaker with a watch glass. Then boil slowly over a low flame for 30 minutes. After cooling, add 30-35 cc. of 60% alcohol by volume and mix the contents of the beaker thoroughly. Filter off the alcohol solution and wash the precipitate with 60% alcohol, then dissolve it on the filter with a stream of hot 80% alcohol by volume from a wash bottle and set aside the filtrate in a cool place (10°C. or below). After the acetates have crystallized out of this solution filter them off, recrystallize from absolute alcohol, dry and determine the melting point of each crop of crystals, as directed under 32. 34 UNSAPONIFIABLE RESIDUE”’.—TENTATIVE. Saponify 5 grams of the oil or fat with alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution and remove the alcohol by evaporation. Wash into a separatory funnel with 70-100 cc. of water and extract with 50-60 ce. of ether. If the 2 liquids do not separate, add a few cc. of alcohol. Separate the water solution and wash the ether with water con- taining a few drops of sodium hydroxid solution. Again extract the soap solution and washings with ether and evaporate the combined extracts to dryness. In most cases it is advisable to add a little alcoholic potassium hydroxid solution to the residue and heat in order to saponify any traces of fats left unsaponified and extract again with ether. Transfer to a weighed dish and dry as quickly as possible in a water oven. Many of the hydrocarbon oils are volatile at 100°C., so that the drying should not be carried any further than necessary. With resin oil, paraffin wax and the denser mineral oils there is little danger of loss at 100°C. On account of the solubility of soap in ether and petroleum ether it is well to wash the residue with warm water containing a little phenolphthalein. If the reaction is alkaline, soap is present and the residue must be further purified. XXIII) FATS AND OILS Phat RESIN OIL. 35 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Polarize the pure oil, or a definite dilution with petroleum ether, in a 200 mm. tube. Resin oil has a polarization in a 200 mm. tube of from + 30° to + 40° on the sugar scale (Schmidt and Haensch) while most oils! read between + 1° and —1°. COTTONSEED OIL. 36 Halphen Test!4.—O ficial. Mix carbon disulphid, containing about 1% of sulphur in solution, with an equal volume of amyl alcohol. Mix equal volumes of this reagent and the oil under ex- amination, and heat in a bath of boiling, saturated brine for 1-2 hours. In the presence of as little as 1% of cottonseed oil, a characteristic red or orange-red color is produced. Lard and lard oil from animals fed on cottonseed meal will give a faint reaction; their fatty acids also give this reaction. The depth of color is proportional, to a certain extent, to the amount of oil pres- ent, and by making comparative tests with cottonseed oil some idea as to the amount present can be obtained. Different oi!s react with different intensities, and oils which have been heated from 200°-210°C. react with greatly diminished in- tensity. Heating 10 minutes at 250°C. renders cottonseed oil incapable of giving the reaction". PEANUT OIL. 37 Modified Renard Test’.—Tentative. Weigh 20 grams of the oil into an Erlenmeyer flask. Saponify with alcoholic potash solution, neutralize exactly with dilute acetic acid, using phenolphthalein as an indicator, and wash into an 800-1000 cc. flask containing a boiling mixture of 100 ce. of water and 120 cc. of 20% lead acetate solution. Boil for a minute and then cool the precipitated soap by immersing the flask in water, occasionally giving it a whirling motion to cause the soap to stick to the sides of the flask. After the flask has cooled, decant the water and excess of lead acetate solution and wash the lead soap with cold water and 90% alcohol by volume. Add 200 cc. of ether, cork and allow to stand for some time until the soap is disintegrated; heat on a water bath, using a reflux condenser, and boil for about 5 minutes!8. In the case of oils, most of the soap will be dissolved, while in lards, which contain much stearin, part of the soap will be left undissolved. Cool the ether solution of soap to 15° 17°C. and allow to stand until all the insoluble soaps have separated out (about 12 hours). Filter upon a Biichner funnel and thoroughly wash the insoluble lead soaps with ether. Wash the ether-insoluble lead soaps into a separatory funnel by means of a jet of ether, alternating at the end of the operation, if a little of the soap sticks to the paper, with hydrochloric acid (1 to 3). Add sufficient hydrochloric acid (1 to 3) so that the total volume of the latter amounts to about 200 cc. and enough ether tomake the total volume of it 150-200 cc. and shake vigorously for several minutes. Allow the layers to separate, runoff the acid layer, and wash the ether once with 100 ce. of dilute hydrochloric acid and then with several portions of water until the water washings are no longer acid to methyl orange. Ifa few undecomposed lumps of lead soap re- main (indicated by solid particles remaining after the third washing with water), break these up by running off almost all the water layer and then a add little concen- trated hydrochloric acid, shake and then continue the washing with water as before. 314 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Distil the ether from the solution of insoluble fatty acids and dry the latterin the fiask by adding a little absolute alcohol and evaporating on a steam bath. Dissolve the dry fatty acids by warming with 100 cc. of 90% alcohol by volume and cool slowly to 15°C., shaking to aid crystallization. Allow to stand at 15°C. for 30 minutes. In the presence of peanut oil, crystals of arachidic acid will separate from the solution. Filter, wash the precipitate twice with 10 ce. of 90% alcohol by volume, and then with 70% alcohol by volume, care being taken to maintain the arachidic acid and the wash solutions at a definite temperature in order to apply the solubility corrections given below. Dissolve the arachidic acid upon the filter with boiling absolute alcohol, evaporate to dryness in a weighed dish, dry and weigh. Add to the weight 0.0025 gram for each 10 cc. of 90% alcohol used in the crystallization and washing, if conducted at 15°C.; if conducted at 20°C., add 0.0045 gram for each 10 cc. The melting point of arachidic acid thus obtained is 71° 72°C. Twenty times the weight of arachidic acid will give the approximate amount of peanut oil present. Arachidic acid has a characteristic appearance and may be identified by the microscope. As little as 5-10% of peanut oil can be detected by this method. SESAME OIL. 38 Baudoin Test.—Official. Dissolve 0.1 gram of finely powdered sugar in 10 ce. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.20), add 20 cc. of the oil to be tested, shake thoroughly for a minute and allow to stand. The aqueous solution separates almost at once and, in the presence of even a very small admixture of sesame oil, is colored crimson. Some olive oils give a slight pink coloration with this reagent. Comparative tests with known samples containing sesame oil will differentiate them. 39 Villavecchia Test'®.—Official. Add 2 grams of furfural to 100 ec. of 95% alcohol by volume and mix thoroughly 0.1 cc. of this solution, 10 ce. of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.20), and 10 cc. of the oil by shaking them together in a test tube. A crimson color is developed as in the Baudoin test, 38, where sugar is used. Villavecchia explained this reaction on the basis that furfural is formed by the action of levulose and hydrochloric acid and therefore substituted furfural for sucrose. As furfural gives a violet tint with hydrochloric acid it is necessary to use the very dilute solution specified in the method. BEEF FAT IN LARD. 40 Emery Method®®.—Tentative. Weigh 5 grams of the melted fat into a glass-stoppered 25 ce. cylinder about 150-175 mm. in height. Add warm ether up to the 25 cc. mark, stopper securely and shake until the fat is completely dissolved. Allow the cylinder to stand for about 18 hours at a temperature of 16°-20°C. during which time some of the solid glycerides will crystallize out. Decant the clear solution carefully from the crys- tals, wash with three 5 ce. portions of cold ether, avoiding breaking up the deposit during the first 2 washings. Agitate the crystals with the third portion of ether and transfer to a small filter. Wash on the paper with successive small amounts of cold ether until 15-20 ce. have been used, then remove the last traces of ether by means of slight suction on the stem of the funnel. Break up any large lumps and allow the deposit to dry. XXII] FATS AND OILS 315 When thoroughly dry pulverize the glycerides and take their melting point in a closed 1 mm. tube, using an apparatus similar to that indicated in 11, Fig. 12. Heat the water in the beaker rapidly to about 55°C. and maintain that temperature until the thermometer carrying the melting-point tube registers 50°-55°C., then heat again and carry the temperature of the outer bath somewhat rapidly to 67°C. when the lamp is removed. The melting point of the crystals is regarded as that point when the fused substance becomes perfectly clear and transparent. A dark background placed about 4 inches from the apparatus will prove of advantage. When the melting point of the glycerides obtained by this method is below 63.4°C. the presence of beef fat should be suspected, while a melting point of 63°C., or below, can be regarded as positive evidence that the sample is not pure lard. It is advis- able to carry out this method with a control sample of pure lard in connection with each batch of samples analyzed. FISH OIL AND MARINE ANIMAL OILS IN THE PRESENCE OF VEGETABLE OILS AND IN THE ABSENCE OF METALLIC SALTS. 41 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Dissolve in a test tube about 6 grams of the oil in 12 cc. of a mixture of equal parts of chloroform and glacial acetic acid. Add bromin, drop by drop, until a slight excess is indicated by the color, keeping the solution at about 20°C. Allow to stand 15 minutes or more and then place the test tube in boiling water. If vege- table oils only are present, the solution will become perfectly clear, while fish oils will remain cloudy or contain a precipitate due to the presence of insoluble bromids. 42 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE.

SPICES AND OTHER CONDIMENTS. SPICES. 1 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. Grind the sample so as to pass through a sieve having circular openings 1 mm. in diameter and mix thoroughly. Owing to the lack of uniformity of most spices and the peculiar tendency to stratify, extreme care is necessary in weighing out a portion for analysis. Stir the material with a spoon, having a capacity of approxi- mately 2 grams, and dip a spoonful from the interior in order that only a very small amount needs to be added to or taken from the portion on the scale pan. In the determination of starch in spices by the diastase method, reduce a portion of the sample to an impalpable powder by grinding in a mortar. 2 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE. Dry 2 grams to constant weight at 110°C. From the resulting loss in weight subtract the amount of volatile ether extract as determined in 9. 3 ASH.— OFFICIAL. Determine as directed under VIII, 4. 4 SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under IX, 17, employing the ash obtained in 3. 5 ASH INSOLUBLE IN ACID.—TENTATIVE. Boil the water-insoluble residue, obtained in 4, or the total ash obtained in a with 25 ec. of 10% hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.050) for 5 minutes, collect the insol- uble matter on a Gooch or an ashless filter, wash with hot water, ignite and weigh. 6 CALCIUM OXID IN ASH.—OFFICIAL. Ignite 24 grams of the sample as directed under 3, digest with hot 10% hydro- chloric acid, evaporate to dryness, moisten the dry residue with dilute hydro- chloric acid and again evaporate to dryness to render the silica insoluble. Moisten the residue with 5-10 cc. of hydrochloric acid, add about 50 cc. of water, allow to stand on a water bath for a few minutes, filter and wash the insoluble residue with hot water. Determine calcium oxid in the combined filtrate and washings as directed under XXVIII, 23. 7 NITROGEN.— OFFICIAL. Determine as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, except in the case of black and white peppers in which use only the Kjeldahl-Gunning-Arnold method! [I, 23], employing 1 gram of the sample. NITROGEN IN NON-VOLATILE ETHER EXTRACT. 8 Winton, Ogden and Mitchell Method.—Tentative. (For black and white peppers.) Extract 10 grams of the pepper for 20 hours in a continuous extraction apparatus with absolute ether, collecting the extract in a weighed 250 cc. flask. Evaporate 317 318 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. the ether, dry first at 100°C. and finally to constant weight at 110°C. Determine the nitrogen in the weighed extract, as directed in I, 23, digesting in the same flask used for the extraction. Calculate the parts of nitrogen per 100 parts of non-vola- tile ether extract. If desired, crude piperin may be calculated from the nitrogen by multiplying by 20.36. g VOLATILE AND NON-VOLATILE ETHER EXTRACT?._TENTATIVE. Extract 2 grams of the ground material for 20 hours in a continuous extrac- tion apparatus with anhydrous ether [VIII, 9]. Transfer the ethereal solution to a tared capsule and allow to evaporate at room temperature. Let stand for 18 hours over sulphuric acid and weigh the total ether extract. Heat the extract gradually and then to constant weight at 110°C. The loss is volatile ether extract; the residue, non-volatile ether extract. 10 ALCOHOL EXTRACT*.—TENTATIVE. Place 2 grams of the sample in a 100 ce. flask and fill to the mark with 95% alcohol by volume. Stopper, shake for 8 hours at 30 minute intervals and allow to stand for 16 hours longer without shaking. Filter the extract through a dry filter, evaporate a 50 cc. aliquot of the filtrate to dryness in a flat-bottomed dish on a water bath and heat to constant weight at 110°C. 11 COLD-WATER EXTRACT.—TENTATIVE. (For ginger.) Place 4 grams of the sample in a 200 cc. graduated flask, add water to the mark, shake at 30 minute intervals during 8 hours and let stand 16 hours longer with- out shaking. Filter and evaporate a 50 cc. aliquot of the filtrate to dryness in a flat-bottomed, metal dish. Dry to constant weight at 100°C. 12 COPPER-REDUCING SUBSTANCES BY DIRECT INVERSION.—TENTATIVE. Extract 4 grams of the sample with 5 successive portions of 10 cc. of ether on a filter that will retain completely the smallest starch granules. After the ether has evaporated, wash with 150 cc. of 10% alcohol by volume. Owing to the formation of a glutinous mass which clogs the filter, it is not possible to wash samples of Batavia cassia with water or dilute alcohol. Therefore all pre- liminary washing is best omitted in determinations made on all varieties of cassia, as well as on cassia buds and cinnamon. Carefully wash the residue from the paper into a 500 cc. flask with 200 cc. of water, using a small wash bottle, and gently rubbing the paper with the tip of the finger. Hydrolyze and determine the copper reducing material as directed under VIII, 60. Express the result in terms of starch. 13 STARCH.—TENTATIVE. Extract 4 grams of the finely pulverized sample with ether and 10% alcohol by volume, as directed under 12, and determine starch by the diastase method, as directed under VIII, 62. 14 CRUDE FIBER.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 68, and remove all ether extractives by suc- cessive washings of the dry fiber with ether previous to weighing. XXIV] SPICES AND OTHER CONDIMENTS 319 1 5 TANNIN.—TENTATIVE. (For cloves and allspice.) Extract 2 grams of the sample for 20 hours with anhydrous ether. Boil the residue for 2 hours with 300 cc. of water, cool, make up to 500 cc. and filter. Measure 25 ce. of this infusion into a 1200 ce. flask, add 20 cc. of indigo solution, 750 cc. of water and proceed as directed under XVI, 32. One cc. of N/10 oxalic acid is equivalent to 0.006232 gram of quercitannic acid, or 0.0008 gram of oxygen absorbed. 16 TOTAL SULPHUR.—OFFICIAL. (For mustard.) Proceed as directed under III, 17. OLIVE OIL. (For paprika.) 17 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Spread 5 grams of the paprika on a watch glass and dry over sulphuric acid for at least 12 hours. Measure 250 cc. of anhydrous, alcohol-free ether [VIII, 9] intoa graduated flask on which the mark is situated near the lower end of the neck, and brush the paprika into it. Place a mark on the neck of the flask at the point where the meniscus is, and allow to stand for an hour, shaking at 20 minute intervals during that time. Bring the meniscus back to the mark placed upon the neck, either by cooling the flask and contents if the level has risen, or by adding absolute ether if it has fallen; let the solid particles settle and pipette off 100 cc. of the supernatant liquid, filter through an 11 cm. closely woven paper into a tared, air-dry, 250 cc., glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask that has been counterpoised against a similar flask; wash the paper with a little absolute ether. Then distil off the solvent and remove the flask from the bath as soon as the ether ceases to come over. Lay the flask on its side in a water oven and heat for 30 minutes; cool the open flask for at least 30 minutes in the air and weigh. Repeat this heating and weighing until the weight is constant to within 1 mg., 2 heatings usually being sufficient. Note the per cent of ether extract obtained. If more than 1; hours of heating are required to obtain constant weight, or if the ether extract becomes colorless, reject it and start a new determination with freshly purified ether. Dissolve the ether extract in the flask with 10 cc. of chloroform, add 30 cc. of Hanus’ solution [XXIII, 17 (a)] and proceed as directed under XXIII, 18, allow- ing 30 minutes for the halogen absorption. Note the iodin number of the ether extract. The iodin number of pure paprika thus obtained should not be less than 125. MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION.—TENTATIVE. 18 GENERAL. Adulterants of vegetable origin in spices are detected best by means of the mi- croscope. A general knowledge of vegetable histology and the microscopic appear- ance of the spices and spice adulterants is essential. Some of the standard works* on these subjects are listed in the bibliography. 19 REAGENTS. Of the numerous reagents employed in histological work the following are the most useful in spice examinations :— (a) Glycerol solution (1 to 1). (b) Absolute alcohol. 320 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (C) Ether. (d) Ammonium hydrozid.—The concentrated solution, containing about 30% of ammonia gas, is used in making Schweitzer’s reagent and for some other purposes. For the turmeric test the concentrated solution should be diluted with 10 parts of water. (e) 5% potassium hydroxid solution. (f) Chloral hydrate solution (8 to 5). (8) Schultze’s mixture.—Crystallized potassium chlorate mixed with nitric acid as needed. : (h) Iodin-potassium iodid solution.—A solution of 0.05 gram of iodin, 0.2 gram of potassium iodid in 15 ce. of water. (i) Chlor-zinc iodin solution.—Dissolve 100 grams of zinc chlorid in 60 cc. of water and to this add 20 grams of potassium iodid and 0.5 gram of iodin crystals. A few crystals of iodin should be left in the bottle to insure saturation and allowed to stand a few hours before using. The chlor-zine iodin solution, prepared in this manner, will keep for months. If the color developed in the tissue is too deep a blue, avery slight dilution of the reagent is advisable. : (j) Millon’s reagent.—Prepare as in XV, 9. (kK) 1% ferric acetate or chlorid solution.—Freshly prepared. (1) Alkanna tincture-—Macerate 20 grams of alkanet root for several days with 100 ce. of alcohol. (m) Aqueous safranin solution. (n) 10% hydrochloric acid. (O) Acetic acid.—Glacial or 99% acetic acid diluted with 2 parts of water. 20 APPARATUS. (a) Dissecting microscope or hand lens. (b) Compound microscope.—Provided with 2 and } inch objectives, 1 and 2 inch oculars, double nosepiece. eyepiece micrometer and polarizing apparatus. (C) Sieves.—A series of sieves with meshes ranging from 0.2-2 mm. (d) Slides, cover-glasses, needles, scalpels, forceps, etc. 21 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE. Reduce one portion to a fine powder in a mortar. Separate another portion into several grades of fineness by sieves of different mesh or by jarring on a sheet of paper. In the coarser grades, fragments of a suspicious nature may often be seen with the naked eye or under a simple microscope; these should be picked out for subsequent examination under the compound microscope. 22 EXAMINATION. Mount a small quantity of the ground sample in water and examine under the compound microscope with both ordinary and polarized light. This gives general information as to the nature of the material and serves for the detection and iden- tification of starch granules and various tissues. Draw a small drop of the iodin- potassium iodid solution into the same preparation by means of a piece of filter paper placed on the opposite edge of the cover-glass and examine. Starch gran- ules will be colored blue or blue-black, cellulose yellow, and proteins either brown or yellow. In the manner just described draw a little of the 5% potassium hydroxid solution under the cover-glass and again examine. This treatment gelatinizes the starch XXIV] SPICES AND OTHER CONDIMENTS 321 granules, dissolves the proteins, saponifies the fats, and in other ways clears the preparation. It also imparts to tannins a reddish color. If this treatment does not clear the tissues satisfactorily, treat a fresh portion for some hours with the chloral hydrate solution. Examine also the crude fiber obtained in the chemical analysis, asin this mate- rial the stone cells and other tissues are shown distinctly. To isolate stone cells, bast fibers and other thick-walled cells macerate a por- tion of the sample in Schultze’s mixture, using such proportion of potassium chlor- ate and nitric acid and heating for such a time as secures the desired results. Pow- dered charcoal and charred shells resist the bleaching action of potash, chloral hydrate and Schultze’s mixture. lf it is desired to distinguish cellulose from infiltrated substances (lignin, suberin, etc.), add the freshly prepared chlor-zinc iodin solution to a water mount, whereby the former is colored blue and the latter yellow. Test for proteins by cautiously warming on a slide with a drop of freshly pre- pared Millon’s reagent. The proteins are partially decomposed, acquiring grad- ually a brick-red color. If it is desired to study the form of the aleurone (pro- tein) granules, which in some plants are quite as characteristic as starch granules, prepare a mount in pure glycerol or oil. To distinguish fats, oils, essential oils and resins from other cell contents, treat for an hour with the alkanna tincture, diluted with an equal bulk of water, which imparts to these substances a deep red color, or treat with ether, which dissolves them. Treat also with alcohol, which dissolves the essential oils and resins, but does not perceptibly affect the fats and oils. In testing for tannins and tissues impregnated with these substances, add the 1% ferric acetate or chlorid solution. Both of these reagents give a green or blue color with tannins, but the former acts more slowly and is to be preferred. Crystals of calcium oxalate are recognized by their characteristic forms and their behavior to polarized light. To distinguish calcium oxalate from calcium carbonate, treat with acetic acid, which does not affect the former, but dissolves the latter with effervescence. Both are soluble in hydrochloric acid. PREPARED MUSTARD. 23 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. Transfer the entire contents of the container to a dish sufficiently large to stir thoroughly and make the whole mass homogeneous. Preserve in a bottle having a tightly fitting glass stopper. Stir well each time before removing a portion for analysis. 24 SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 5 grams of the sample into a flat-bottomed, platinum dish, distribute evenly over the bottom of the dish with a little water, place on a water bath until the mixture appears dry, and heat finally to constant weight at 100°C. in a water oven. 25 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Ignite the dry residue, obtained in the determination of solids, 24, as directed under VIII, 4. 26 SALT.—TENTATIVE. Determine chlorin in the ash as directed under III, 15. B22 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 27 ETHER EXTRACT.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 10 grams of the sample into a capsule and mix with about 30 grams of sand. Heat on a water bath until the mixture appears dry and complete the dry- ing in a water oven. Grind until all the lumps are broken up, and determine the ether extract as directed under VIII, 10. 28 PROTEIN.— OFFICIAL. Determine the nitrogen as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23, using 5 grams of the sample. Multiply the result by 6.25 to obtain the amount of protein. 29 ACIDITY.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 10 grams of the sample into a 200 cc. graduated flask, make up to the mark with water, shake, filter through a dry paper and determine the acidity in 100 ce. by titration with N/10 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Ex- press the result as acetic acid. One cc. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0060 gram of acetic acid. 30 COPPER-REDUCING SUBSTANCES.—TENTATIVE. By Direct Inversion. Proceed as directed under VIII, 60, except that 10 grams of the sample, without previous washing or extraction, are treated directly with 200 cc. of water and 20 cc. of 25% hydrochloric acid and the solution is made up to 250 cc. after neutralizing and before filtering and drawing off the aliquot. In analyses of samples contain- ing starch, particular attention should be given that the amount of dextrose present in the aliquot taken for the reducing sugar determination does not exceed the maximum permitted for that determination. Calculate the result in terms of starch. 31 CRUDE FIBER.—TENTATIVE. Transfer 8 grams of the sample (equivalent to about 2 grams of dry matter) to a porcelain or glass mortar. Treat with a little hot 1.25% sulphuric acid and rub into a uniform thin paste. It is absolutely essential that this paste be uniform in con- sistency and entirely free from lumps. Rinse the thin mixture into a 500 ce. Erlen- meyer flask, using a total volume of 200 cc. of the hot 1.25% sulphuric acid for the entire operation. Proceed as directed under VIII, 68, and remove all the fat, pre- vious to weighing of the crude fiber, by repeated washings of the dry fiber with ether. 32 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XI. 33 PRESERVATIVES.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under X. TOMATO PRODUCTS. 34 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. Shake the package and contents thoroughly to incorporate any sediment, then transfer the entire contents of the container to a large glass or porcelain dish and mix thoroughly, continuing the stirring for at least 1 minute. Transfer the well mixed sample to a glass-stoppered container and shake or stir thoroughly each time before removing portions for analysis. XIV] SPICES AND OTHER CONDIMENTS 323 5 TOTAL SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 10 grams of the sample into a flat-bottomed, platinum dish having a diam- eter of about 6 cm., spread the sample in a thin layer, evaporate to dryness on a steam bath and dry in a water oven for 4 hours. 36 INSOLUBLE SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Wash 20 grams of the sample repeatedly with hot water, centrifugalizing after each addition of water and pouring the clear, supernatant liquid through a tared- triple filter paper on a Biichner funnel. After 4-5 washings transfer the remaining insoluble matter to the filter, dry for 2 hours at 100°C., cool in a desiccator and weigh rapidly. The paper used should be dried for 2 hours at 100°C., cooled in a, desiccator and weighed. A cylinder, 1-1} inches in diameter and 5-6 inches long, is convenient for washing and centrifugalizing. 37 SOLUBLE SOLIDS.—TENTATIVE. Subtract the percentage of insoluble solids from the percentage of total solids to obtain the percentage of soluble solids. 38 SAND.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 100 grams of the well mixed sample into a 2-3 liter beaker, nearly fill the beaker with water, and mix the contents thoroughly. Allow to stand 5 minutes and decant the supernatant liquid into a second beaker. Refill the first with water and again mix the contents. After 5 minutes more decant the second beaker into a third, the first into the second, refill and again mix the first. Continue this opera- tion, decanting from the third beaker into the sink until the lighter material is washed out from the ketchup. Then collect the sand from the 3 beakers on a tared Gooch crucible, dry, ignite and weigh. Attention is especially called to the fact that under ‘‘Sand’”’ only the figure obtained by this method should be reported. The results obtained by the determination of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid are not applicable to the determination of sand, since the sand is so unevenly dis- tributed that reliable results can only be obtained by taking a larger sample than is possible in the determination of ash. 39 ASH.—OFFICIAL. Evaporate 10 grams of the sample to dryness ona water bath andignite as directed under VIII, 4. 40 ALKALINITY OF THE ASH.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XIII, 7. Express the result as the number of ce. of N/10 acid required to neutralize the ash from 100 grams of the sample. 41 SODIUM CHLORID.— OFFICIAL. Proceed as directed under III, 15, using either an aliquot of the solution obtained in 40 or a nitric acid solution of the whole ash. 42 REDUCING SUGARS BEFORE INVERSION.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 20 grams of the sample into a 200 cc. flask, dilute with about 100 ce. of water, clarify with a slight excess of neutral lead acetate solution, dilute to the mark and filter. Remove the excess of lead with anhydrous sodium or potassium oxalate. Filter and determine reducing sugars as directed under VIII, 25. Ex- press the result as per cent of invert sugar. 324 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 43 REDUCING SUGARS AFTER INVERSION.—TENTATIVE. Transfer 50 cc. of the filtrate, obtained in 42, to a 100 cc. flask, add 5 cc. of con- centrated hydrochloric acid and let stand overnight. Nearly neutralize with sodium hydroxid solution, cool, dilute to the mark and determine reducing sugars in an aliquot as directed under VIII, 25. Express the result as per cent of invert sugar. 44 SUCROSE.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 18. 45 TOTAL ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XIX, 17, employing 5 grams of the sample. Express the result as anhydrous citric acid. One cc. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0064 gram of anhydrous citric acid. 46 VOLATILE ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XVI, 27, employing 25 grams of the sample, increas- ing the amount of water used for the distillation and collecting a correspondingly larger amount of distillate. Express the result as acetic acid. One cc. of N/10 alkali is equivalent to 0.0060 gram of acetic acid. Reserve the neutralized distillate for the detection of butyric acid. BUTYRIC ACID. 47 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Evaporate the neutralized distillate, obtained in 46, to dryness on a steam bath. Decompose the residue with about 5 ec. of 10% sulphuric acid and note the odor. 48 FIXED ACIDS.—TENTATIVE. Multiply the percentage of volatile acids, 46, by 1.067 and subtract the product from the percentage of total acids, 45, to obtain the per cent of fixed acids as citric acid. MICRO-ANALYSIS OF TOMATO PULP, KETCHUP, PUREE AND SAUCE (PASTE). 49 APPARATUS. (a) Compound microscope.—Giving magnifications of approximately 90, 180 and 500 diameters. These diameters can be obtained by a microscope equipped with 16 and 8 mm. apochromatic objectives and a X6 and a X18 compensating ocular (a X12 ocular may also be used if desired). (b) Thoma-Zeiss blood counting cell. (C) Special Thoma-Zeiss cell.—With the central disk of 19 mm. diameter for making the mold counts. 50 MOLDS.—TENTATIVE. Clean the special Thoma-Zeiss cell so that Newton’s rings are produced be- tween the slide and the cover-glass. Remove the cover and place, by means of a knife blade or scalpel, a small drop of the sample upon the central disk; spread the drop evenly over the disk and cover with the cover-glass so as to give an even spread to the material. XXIV] SPICES AND OTHER CONDIMENTS 325 It is of the utmost importance that the drop be mixed thoroughly and spread evenly, otherwise the insoluble matter, and consequently the molds, are most abun- dant at the center of the drop. Squeezing out of the more liquid portions around the margin must be avoided. In a satisfactory mount Newton’s rings should be apparent when finally mounted and none of the liquid should be drawn across the moat and under the cover-glass. Place the slide under the microscope and examine with about 90 diameters and with such adjustment that each field of view represents approximately 1.5 sq. mm. of area on the mount. Observe each field as to the presence or absence of mold filaments and note the result as positive or negative. Examine at least 50 fields, prepared from 2 or more mounts. No field should be considered positive unless the aggregate length of the filaments present exceeds approximately one sixth the diameter of the field. Cal- culate the proportion of positive fields from the results of the examination of all the observed fields and report as percentage of fields containing mold filaments. 51 YEASTS AND SPORES.—TENTATIVE. Fill a graduated cylinder with water to the 20 cc. mark, and then add the sample till the level of the mixture reaches the 30 cc. mark. Close the graduate, or pour the contents into an Erlenmeyer flask, and shake the mixture vigorously 15-20 sec- onds. To facilitate thorough mixing the mixture should not fill more than three fourths of the container in which the shaking is performed. For tomato sauce or pastes, or products running very high in the number of organisms, or of heavy con- sistency, 80 cc. of water should be used with 10 cc. or 10 grams of the sample. In the case of exceptionally thick or dry pastes, it may be necessary to make an even greater dilution. Pour the mixture into a beaker. Thoroughly clean the Thoma-Zeiss counting cell so as to give good Newton’s rings. Stir thoroughly the contents of the beaker with a scalpel or knife blade, and then, after allowing tostand 3-5 seconds, remove a small drop and place upon the central disk of the Thoma-Zeiss counting cell and cover immediately with the cover-glass, observing the same precautions in mount- ing the sample as given under 50. Allow the slide to stand not less than 10 min- utes before beginning to make the count. Make the count with a magnification of about 180 (8 mm. apochromatic objective with the X6 compensating ocular). Count the number of yeasts and spores on one half of the ruled squares on the disk (this amounts to counting the number in 8 of the blocks, each of which con- tains 25 of the small ruled squares). The total number thus obtained equals the num- ber of organismsin 1/60 cmm. if adilution of 1 part of the sample with 2 parts of water is used. If a dilution of 1 part of the sample with 8 parts of water is used, the number must be multiplied by 3. In making the counts, the analyst should avoid counting an organism twice when it rests on a boundary line between 2 adja- cent squares. 52 BACTERIA.—TENTATIVE. Estimate the bacteria from the mounted sample, used in 51, but allow the sample to stand not less than 15 minutes after mounting before counting. Use a magnifi- cation of about 500 (8 mm. apochromatic objective and X18 compensating ocular). Because of the somewhat clearer definition obtained with the X12 compensating ocular, some prefer it to the X18, though the magnification is correspondingly less, being about 375. Count and record the number of bacteria in a small area consist- ing of 5 of the small sized squares. Move the slide to another portion of the field 326 METHODS OF ANALYSIS and count the number on another similar area. Count 5 such areas, preferably 1 from near each corner of the ruled portion of the slide and 1 from near the center. Determine the average number of bacteria per area and multiply by 2,400,000 which gives the number of bacteria per cc. If a dilution of 1 part of the sample with 8 parts of water instead of 1 part of the sample with 2 parts of water is used in making up the sample, then the total count obtained as above must be multiplied by 7,200,000. Omit the micrococci type of bacteria in making the count. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1Z. anal. Chem., 1892, 31: 525; Conn. Agr. Exp. Sta. Rept., 1898, (II), p. 190. 2U. 8. Bur. Chem.

Determine total nitrogen as directed under I, 18, 21 or 23. 9 CRUDE FIBER.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under VIII, 68, employing sufficient sample to contain ap- proximately 1 gram of water-, sugar- and fat-free material, except that both filtra- tions should be made upon paper, the washed fiber either being weighed upon a tared filter in the usual way or rinsed from the paper into a tared Gooch, dried and weighed. The residue after fat extraction may be used directly for the crude fiber deter- mination in the analysis of commercial cocoa and other finely ground or pulver- ized cacao products. If, however, the material is at all granular, it should be re- duced to an impalpable powder; otherwise the results will be much too high. The pulverization may be satisfactorily performed by grinding with ether, as described under 10, treating the extracted residue with the hot 1.25% sulphuric acid and proceeding from this point as directed above. 327 328 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. STARCH. 10 Direct Acid Hydrolysis.—Tentative. Weigh 4 grams of the sample, if unsweetened, or 10 grams if sweetened, into a small porcelain mortar, add 25 cc. of ether and grind. After the coarser material] has settled, decant the ether, together with the fine suspended matter, onto an 11 cm. paper of sufficiently fine texture to retain the crude starch. Repeat this treat- ment until no more coarse material remains. After the ether has evaporated from the filter, transfer the fat-free residue to the mortar by means of a jet of cold water and rub to an even paste, filtering on the paper previously employed. Repeat this process until all the sugar is removed. In the case of sweetened products the fil- trate should measure at least 500 cc. Determine crude starch in the extracted residue as directed under VIII, 60. 11 Diastase Method.—Tentative. Remove fat and sugar from 4 grams of the sample, if unsweetened, or 10 grams if sweetened, as directed under 10. Wash carefully the wet residue into a beaker with 100 cc. of water, heat to boiling over asbestos with constant stirring and continue the boiling and stirring for 30 minutes. Replace the water lost by evaporation and immerse the beaker in a water bath kept at 55°-60°C. When the liquid has cooled to the temperature of the bath, add 20 cc. of freshly prepared malt extract [VIII, 61] and digest the mixture for 2 hours with occasional stirring. Boil a second time for 30 minutes, dilute, cool and digest as before with another 20 cc. portion of the malt extract. Heat again to boiling, cool and transfer to a 250 ce. flask. Add 3 cc. of alumina cream, make up to the mark and filter through a dry paper. The residue on the paper should show no signs of starch when examined microscopically. Continue from this point as directed under VIII, 62, beginning with the words “Place 200 cc. of the filtrate in a flask with 20 ce. of hydrochloric acid’”’. 12 FAT.—TENTATIVE. Dry 2 grams of the material over sulphuric acid until all the moisture is practi- cally removed. (Products rich in fat show a tendency to cake at the temperature of boiling water. Hence, drying by means of heat must be avoided.) Extract with anhydrous ether in a continuous extractor until no more fat is removed. Grind and repeat the extraction. Introduce the ether extract into a tared dish, allow the ether to evaporate and dry the residue to constant weight at 100°C. The rapid centrifugal method!, though useful and accurate under ordinary con- ditions, is unreliable during the summer months or in warm latitudes and has not been approved. 13 FAT CONSTANTS.—TENTATIVE. Separate the fat in a manner similar to that described under 15 and determine the melting point, index of refraction, iodin absorption, saponification, Reichert- Meissl and Polenske numbers as directed under XXIII. Melting point determi- nations upon this material do not become normal until the fat has been kept for at least 24 hours in a cool place. 14 MILK FAT IN MILK CHOCOLATE.—TENTATIVE. Estimate the amount of milk fat in milk chocolate from the following formula based on a Reichert-Meissl number of 0.5 for cocoa butter: XXV] CACAO PRODUCTS 329 = eee - tee in which A = grams of butter fat in 5 grams of mixed fat; B = 5 — A = grams of cocoa fat in 5 grams of mixed fat; C = Reichert-Meissl number of extracted fat. C From which the ‘ Weight of butter fat in 5 grams of mixed fat = a and the in C-—0.5 Per cent of butter fat = per cent of total fat x 5 1 5 SUCROSE AND LACTOSE.—TENTATIVE. Prepare the sample by chilling well and shaving as finely as possible with a knife. Transfer 26 grams of this material to an 8 ounce nursing bottle, add about 100 ce. of petroleum ether and shake for 5 minutes. Centrifugalize until the solvent is clear. Draw off the same by suction and repeat the treatment with petroleum ether. Place the bottle containing the de-fatted residue in a warm place until the residual traces of petroleum ether are practically expelled. Add 100 cc. of water, shake until all the chocolate is loosened from the sides and bottom of the bottle and then shake for 3 minutes longer. Add basic lead acetate solution from a burette to complete precipitation, then sufficient water to make the total volume of liquid 110 cc. Mix thoroughly and filter through a folded filter. Make the direct polari- scopic reading ‘‘a’’ in a 200 mm. tube. Precipitate the excess of lead by anhydrous potassium oxalate and invert the solution as directed under VIII, 14. Obtain the reading of the inverted solution. Multiply the invert reading by 2 to correct for dilution ‘‘b’”. From the figures obtained calculate the percentages of sucrose (S) and lactose (L) by the formulas _ (a=b) (110 + x) 2 t 142.66— 3 a(1 abe 700) a8 1p ae as in which the value of x is obtained from 0.79 0.2244 (a — 21d) ee eee i ] i ined f.

Weigh 10 grams of the chocolate into a 500 cc. Erlenmeyer flask and add 250 cc. of 1% sodium oxalate solution. Heat to boiling and boil gently for a few minutes, then cool, add 5 grams of magnesium carbonate and filter. Determine nitrogen in 50 ce. of this filtrate. Pipette 100 ce. of the filtrate into a 200 cc. volumetric flask and dilute almost to the mark with water. Then precipitate the casein by the addition of 2 cc. of glacial acetic acid or 1 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid. Make to volume, shake, filter and deter- mine nitrogen in 100 ce. of the filtrate. The difference between the 2 nitrogen de- terminations gives the nitrogen derived from the casein which, multiplied by 6.38, gives the amount of casein present in 2 grams of the sample. 17 by mis } a { ( a ua aes) fy Suet Mat a ; vl te , , if Peatae at hatha ¥ ‘wan 4 ie hie COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under XI. 1U. S. Bur. Chem. Bull. 137, BIBLIOGRAPHY. p. 103. XXVI. COFFEES. GREEN COFFEE, 1 MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION.—TENTATIVE. A macroscopic examination is usually sufficient to show the presence of excessive amounts of black and blighted coffee beans, coffee hulls, stones and other foreign matter. These can be separated by hand picking and determined gravimetrically. 2 COLORING MATTERS.—TENTATIVE. Shake vigorously 100 grams or more of the sample with cold water or 70% alco- hol by volume. Strain through a coarse sieve and allow to settle. Identify soluble colors in the solution and insoluble pigments in the sediment as directed under XI. ROASTED COFFEE. 3 MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION.—TENTATIVE. Artificial coffee beans are apparent from their exact regularity of form. Roasted legumes and lumps of chicory, when present in whole roasted coffee, can be picked out and identified microscopically. In the case of ground coffee sprinkle some of the sample on cold water and stir lightly. Fragments of pure coffee, if not over- roasted, will float, while fragments of chicory, legumes, cereals, etc., will sink imme- diately, chicory coloring the water a decided brown. In all cases identify the par- ticles that sink, by microscopical examination. 4 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. Grind the sample and pass through a sieve having holes 0.5 mm. in diameter and preserve in a tightly stoppered bottle. 5 MOISTURE.—TENTATIVE. Dry 5 grams of the sample at 105°-110°C. for 5 hours and subsequent periods of an hour each until constant weight is obtained. The same procedure may be used, drying in vacuo at the temperature of boiling water. In the case of whole coffee, grind rapidly to a coarse powder and weigh at once portions for the determina- tion without sifting and without unnecessary exposure to the air.

Moisten 11 grams of finely powdered coffee with 3 cc. of water, allow to stand 30 minutes and extract with chloroform for 3 hours in a Soxhlet extractor. Evap- orate the extract, treat the residue of fat and caffein with hot water, filter through a cotton plug and moistened filter paper and wash with hot water. Make up the filtrate and washings to 55 ec., pipette off 50 ec. and extract 4 times with chloro- form. Evaporate the chloroform extract in a tared flask, dry the caffein at 100°C. and weigh. Transfer the residue to a Kjeldahl flask with a small amount of hot water and determine nitrogen as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23.

Weigh 3.125 grams of the finely powdered sample into a 500 cc. flask, add 225 ce. of water (this volume will shrink to about 200 ec. by boiling), attach a reflux con- denser and boil for 2 hours. Add 2 grams of dry basic lead acetate [VIII, 13 (c)] and boil 10 minutes more. Cool, transfer to a 250 cc. graduated flask, fill to the mark, filter through a dry filter, measure 200 cc. of the filtrate into a 250 ce. graduated flask and pass hydrogen sulphid through it to remove the excess of lead. Make the solution up to the mark and filter through a dry filter. Measure 200 cc. of this filtrate into an evaporating dish and concentrate to about 40 cc. Wash the concentrated solution with as little water as possible into a small separatory funnel and shake out 4 times with chloroform, using 25, 20, 15 and 10 cc., respectively. If any emulsion forms, break it up with a stirring rod and run the separated portions of chloroform through a 5 em. filter paper into a small, tared Erlenmeyer flask. Evap- orate off the chloroform on the steam bath, or recover the chloroform by attaching the flask to a condenser and distilling to asmall volume. Dry the fine, white crystals of caffein to constant weight at 75°C. Test the purity of this residue by deter- mining nitrogen as directed in I, 18, 21 or 23 and multiplying by the factor 3.464.

Treat 10 grams of the sample, prepared as directed under 4,’with 75 ce. of 80% alcohol by volume in an Erlenmeyer flask, stopper and allow to stand 16 hours, shaking occasionally. Filter and transfer an aliquot of the filtrate (25 cc. in the case of green coffee, 10 cc. in the case of roasted coffee) to a beaker, dilute to about 100 ce. with water and titrate with N/10 alkali, using phenolphthalein as an indi- cator. Express the result as the number of cc. of N/10 alkali required,to neutralize the acidity of 100 grams of the sample. ?1 VOLATILE ACIDITY.—TENTATIVE. Into a volatile acid apparatus [XVI, 27; Fig. 8] introduce a few glass beads and over these place 20 grams of the unground sample. Add 100 cc. of recently boiled water to the sample, place a sufficient quantity of recently boiled water in the outer flask and distil until the distillate is no longer acid to litmus paper (usually 100 cc. of distillate will be collected). Titrate the distillate with N/10 alkali, using phenol- phthalein as an indicator. Express the result as the number of cc. of N/10 alkali required to neutralize the acidity of 100 grams of the sample. COATING AND GLAZING SUBSTANCES. 22 SUGAR AND DEXTRIN.—TENTATIVE. Introduce 100 grams of the whole coffee into a beaker, add exactly 300 cc. of water, stir and allow to stand 5 minutes, with frequent stirring. Filter through a dry paper, add carefully to the filtrate sufficient dry lead acetate to precipitate all the caffetannic acid, avoiding an excess. Filter through dry paper and re- move the lead from the filtrate by the addition of a slight excess of anhydrous potassium oxalate. Filter through a dry paper and determine reducing sugars as invert sugar in 50 cc. of the filtrate, as directed in VIII, 25. Invert a 75 cc. aliquot of the filtrate as directed under VIII, 14. Cool, nearly neutralize with sodium hydroxid solution, make up to 100 cc. and determine reducing sugars as invert sugar in the resulting solution, as directed under VIII, 25. Measure a 100 cc. aliquot of the filtrate into a 200 cc. flask, add 10 cc. of 25% hydrochlorie acid and hy- drolyze as directed under VIII, 60. Cool, neutralize with sodium hydroxid solu- tion, make up to volume, filter through a dry paper and determine reducing sugars as invert sugar in 50 cc. of the filtrate as directed under VIII, 25. Calculate the 334 METHODS OF ANALYSIS reducing sugars in each instance to per cent by weight of the original coffee. Cal- culate sucrose from the reducing sugars before and after inversion as directed in VIII, 18, and calculate dextrin as follows: Subtract the reducing sugars after in- version from the reducing sugars after hydrolysis, multiply the difference by the factor 0.9561 to convert the result to dextrose and then by 0.9 to convert to dextrin. In some instances the presence of sucrose in the water extract may be verified by polarization. The presence of dextrin in the water extract may be verified by polarization as directed under IX, 25, and by the erythro-dextrin test [IX, 47] performed on the water extract previous to clarification with lead acetate. 23 EGG ALBUMEN AND GELATIN.—TENTATIVE. Treat 100 grams of the whole coffee with 500 cc. of water and allow to stand with frequent stirring for 5 minutes. Filter and treat separate portions of the filtrate with (1) a strong solution of tannic acid; (2) Millon’s reagent [XV, 9]; (3) by boiling. In the presence of egg albumen a more or less heavy precipitate will be formed in each case. As a confirmatory test, treat an aliquot of the filtrate with an excess of tannic acid solution, add a little salt if necessary to secure flocculation of the precipitate, filter and, without washing, introduce the paper and its con- tents into a Kjeldahl flask and determine nitrogen. By this method coffee not coated with albumen or gelatin will yield less than 10 mg. of nitrogen per 100 grams of sample. 24 CHICORY INFUSION.—TENTATIVE. Cover 100-150 grams of the whole coffee with water, allow to soak 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, and drain the aqueous washings through a coarse sieve. Wash the coffee upon the sieve with about 100 cc. of water and centrifugalize the com- bined washings. Decant the clear liquid from the sediment, drain almost dry upon filter paper, then mount the sediment in chloral hydrate [XXIV, 20 (f)] and exam- ine under the microscope for elements of chicory.

Boil 5 grams of the tea for 80 minutes with 400 cc. of water; cool, transfer to a 500 cc. graduated flask and make up to the mark. 'To 10 cc. of the infusion, filtered if not clear, add 25 cc. of the indigo carmine solution and about 750 ec. of water. Add from a burette the potassium permanganate solution, a little at a time while stirring, until the color becomes light green, then drop by drop, until the color changes to bright yellow or to a faint pink at the rim. Designate the number of cc. of permanganate used as ‘‘a’’. Mix 100 ee. of the clear infusion of tea with 50 ce. of the gelatin solution, 100 ce. of the acid sodium chlorid solution and 10 grams of the powdered kaolin, and shake several minutes in a stoppered flask. After settling decant through a filter. Mix 25 cc. of the filtrate with 25 ec. of the indigo carmine solution and about 750 cc. of water and titrate with permanganate as before. The number of cc. of permanganate used subtracted from that obtained above, ‘‘a’’, gives the amount of permanganate required to oxidize the tannin. One ce. of N/10 oxalic acid is equivalent approxi- mately to 0.004157 gram of tannin (gallotannic acid). XXVII] TEA 337 FACING. 17 GENERAL.—TENTATIVE. Mineral pigments may be detected in the ash, or the tea may be shaken up with a large volume of water, and the water separated from the leaves by a sieve, when the insoluble mineral substances used in facing will settle and can be removed by filtration for further examination, as directed under XI, 1, the catechu and other soluble substances being in the filtrate. 18 PARAFFIN AND WAXY SUBSTANCES.—TENTATIVE. Spread a quantity of the tea between 2 sheets of unglazed, white paper and place thereon a hot iron. Any greasy substance will stain the paper’. PIGMENTS USED FOR COLORING OR FACING. 19 Read Method’.—Tentative. Place 60 grams of the tea in a 60 mesh, 5-6 inch sieve, provided with a top. Sift a small quantity (approximately 0.1 gram) of the dust upon a piece of semi-glazed, white paper about 8 by 10 inches. To obtain the requisite amount of dust, it is sometimes necessary to rub the leaf gently against the bottom of the sieve, but this must not be done until the sieve has been well shaken over the paper. Place the paper on a plain, firm surface, preferably glass or marble, and crush the dust by pressing firmly upon it a flat steel spatula about 5 inches long. Repeat the crush- ing process until the tea dust is ground almost to a powder when particles of color- ing matter, if present, become visible as streaks on the paper. Brush off the loose dust and examine the paper by means of a simple lens magnifying 74 diame- ters. In distinguishing these particles and streaks bright light is essential. In many cases the character of the pigment is indicated by the behavior of these streaks when treated with reagents and examined under a microscope. ‘lhe crushed particles of natural leaf in either black or green tea appear in such quantity that there is no chance of mistaking them for coloring or facing material. This test should be repeated using black, semi-glazed paper for facings such as tale, gypsum, barium sulphate or clay. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1U.S8. Bur. Chem. Bull. 13 (VII); Villiers and Colin.

BAKING POWDERS AND THEIR INGREDIENTS. 1 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. Remove the entire sample from the package, mix carefully and pass through a 20-40 mesh sieve. TOTAL CARBON DIOXID. 2 General Method.—Tentative. Make the determination by the absorption method, employing any apparatus which gives accurate results when checked with pure calcite. Whatever appara- tus is chosen, the tubes and materials used for absorbing and drying the carbon dioxid may be varied according to the preference of the analyst. Use 0.25-1 gram of sodium or calcium carbonate, according to the amount of absorbent employed, and in the case of baking powder 0.50-2 grams. Method Using Knorr’s Apparatus.—T entative. 3 REAGENTS. (a) 50% potassium hydroxid solution. (b) Soda lime.—Finely granulated and freed from dust by sifting. 4 APPARATUS. FIG. 14 KNORR’S APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CARBON DIOXID. This consists of a flask (A), fitted by means of a ground-glass joint with a glass connection through the upper part of which passes a dropping funnel (B), and joined at the side with a Liebig condenser (D). The mouth of the dropping funnel 339 340 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (B) is connected by means of a perforated stopper with a soda lime tube (C). The upper end of the Liebig condenser is connected by a rubber joint with a Geissler bulb (#), containing sulphuric acid for drying the gas passing into the next Geissler bulb (Ff), connected with (#), and containing strong potassium hydroxid solution (1 to 2). The bulb (F) is connected with a third Geissler bulb (@), containing sul- phurie acid for the absorption of moisture escaping from F. A fourth Geissler bulb (H) is attached to G as a precaution to prevent moisture from the air being absorbed by G. #H is connected with an aspirator. Many analysts prefer to re- place the bulb (F) by 2 U-tubes filled with sifted soda lime. 5 DETERMINATION. Place 0.5-2 grams of the baking powder, the amount depending upon the per- centage of carbon dioxid present, in the flask (A), which must be perfectly dry. Close the flask with the stopper which carries the funnel tube and the tube con- necting with the absorption apparatus. Weigh separately the Geissler bulbs (F) and (G) and attach them to the apparatus. If 2 soda lime tubes are employed, weigh them separately and fill the first anew when the second increases materially in weight. Nearly fill the funnel tube (B) with hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1.1) and place the soda lime tube (C) in position. Then aspirate air through the Geissler bulbs at a rate of about 2 bubbles per second. Open the stopper of the funnel and allow the acid to run slowly into the flask, care being taken that the evolution of gas be so gradual as not to materially increase the current through the Geissler bulbs. After all the acid has been introduced, close the stop-cock in B, continue the aspiration and heat gradually the contents of the flask to boiling. While the flask is being heated the aspirator tube may be removed, although many analysts prefer, when using ground-glass joints, to aspirate during the entire operation. Continue the boiling for a few minutes after the water has begun to condense in D, then remove the flame, open the stop-cock in tube (8) and allow the apparatus to cool with continued aspiration. Remove the absorption bulbs (F) and (@) and weigh. The increase in weight is due to carbon dioxid. Method Using Heidenhain’s A pparatus.—Tentative. 6 REAGENTS. (a) Calcium chlorid.—Use calcium chlorid dehydrated at 200°C., but not fused. Grind it coarsely in a coffee mill and sift through No. 18 wire gauze to remove the extremely coarse, and through No. 30 wire gauze to remove the very fine, particles. (b) Soda lime.—Grind and sift the soda lime! for the weighed tubes as described above. It should not be too dry, as it must not absorb moisture to a greater degree than the calcium chlorid. 7 APPARATUS®. This consists of a cylinder (A), filled with soda lime to remove carbon dioxid from the air passing through the apparatus. A thick layer of cotton at the upper end prevents soda lime dust from being carried over. Connect the cylinder (A) by means of a perforated rubber stopper and a bent glass tube having a stop-cock (B) and a capillary constriction (C) with a short piece of rubber tubing to which is attached a short piece of glass tubing (Z), fitted with a perforated rubber stopper. The latter fits tightly into the constriction of the funnel tube (D). The funnel of the latter is cylindrical in shape, 3 inch in diameter at the upper end, } inch at the iower end and 4 inches long, the rubber stopper of £ fitting into the constriction. XXVIII] BAKING POWDERS 341 The stem of the funnel tube (D) passes through a doubly perforated rubber stopper almost to the bottom of the evolution flask (Ff), which is ordinarily of 150 cc. capacity but, in the case of foaming liquids, may hold 300 cc. Through the second perforation in the stopper connect the evolution flask (Ff) with a reflux condenser (G), consisting of a. inch glass tube around which is wound a small lead pipe carry- ing a current of cold water. To the upper end of the condenser attach a U-tube containing a little calcium chlorid (to be renewed when it has liquefied) to retain the bulk of the moisture. Connect this U-tube with a second U-tube (H), filled with coarse calcium chlorid, and this in turn with a third U-tube (K), filled at J with a 3 inch column of pumice stone impregnated with copper sulphate and completely de- hydrated at 150°C., the remainder of the tube being filled with fine calcium chlorid. Connect the U-tube (K) with a bent glass tube having a stop-cock (L) which is closed when the abpgeatus is not in use. Next attach the absorption U-tubes (M) and (N) which are } inch in diameter and 5 inches long, the first filled mainly with soda lime but ieee a little calcium chlorid at the end where the air current {WATER FOR COOLING FIG. 15. HEIDENHAIN’S APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CARBON DIOXID. enters, the second filled one half with soda lime and one half with calcium chlorid, the latter being placed at the side where the air current leaves. Connect N with a guard tube (QO), filled with calcium chlorid on the side toward N and with soda lime on the side toward P, the latter being a small U-tube trapped with glycerol to indicate the passage of the air current. Connect P with a safety bottle (R), to receive any water which may be sucked back from the aspirator, and connect R with the aspirator (S), a 4 liter Mariette bottle. The tubes (IM) and (N) should hold about 20 grams, making the capacity of M for carbon dioxid almost 1 gram and that of N for moisture 0.2 gram. M should be refilled when its weight has increased 0.75 gram and N after an increase of 0.1 gram in weight. Use the best grade of rubber for all connections, applying a trace of castor oil as a lubricant. For connections of the weighed tubes use rubber tubing boiled in weak lye, washed and dried. Apply also a little castor oil, which is thoroughly wiped off again before connecting the tubing. Before using the apparatus fill H and K with carbon dioxid in order to saturate the alkalinity of the calcium chlorid and exhaust after several hours. 342 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 8 DETERMINATION. In order to find the allowable rapidity of the air current employed during the determination, proceed as follows: Charge the apparatus exactly as for an analysis leaving out the carbonate. Begin to aspirate at the rate of about 50 cc. per minute. After 2 liters have been aspirated weigh the tubes, M and N. If they have lost in weight, repeat the experiment with 40 cc. per minute, and so on until the weight of the tubes remains constant. If the work has been done with due precaution, the first tube should have lost just as much as the second has gained. Do not exceed the safe speed thus found. Weigh the tubes M and WN at the air temperature of the balance room. Shortly before weighing open the tubes for a moment to allow equalization of air. Note the thermometer and barometer readings. Connect the tubes with the apparatus and test the tightness of the joints by closing A at the bottom, opening all the cocks, starting the aspirator, and observing P, in which the liquid should soon come to a standstill. Then disconnect the aspirator, close B, remove F, put in the substance, using about 1 gram of sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate or about 2 grams of baking powder, connect fF, and start the condenser (@). Introduce 50 ce. of 10% hydrochloric acid through D, lifting # slightly and allowing only small quantities of the dilute acid to enter at a time. Light the burner under F, heat to boiling and reduce the flame to keep the liquid just at the boiling point. If no more air passes P, start the aspiration. When the water stops running from S, open B care- fully and adjust the outflow of the aspirator by raising or lowering the syphon to one half the safe speed. After M has become cool increase the current to the full safe speed and aspirate altogether 3 liters, continuing boiling to the end of the aspiration. After the tubes have assumed the temperature of the balance room, open for a moment and weigh. When extreme accuracy is desired, note again the thermometer and barometer readings and apply correction according to the following formula: — (A? — A!) X T and + (B? — B!) X B in which A! = the temperature at first weighing in degrees C.; A? = the temperature at second weighing in degrees C.; B! = the air pressure at first weighing in mm.; B? = the air pressure at second weighing in mm.; T and B are constants found from the following formulas: T = V X 0.0000039 gram; B = V X 0.0000015 gram in which 0.0000039 = change in weight of 1 cc. of air for 1°C.; 0.0000015 = change in weight of 1 cc. of air for 1 mm. pressure; and the value of V is obtained from Gok Vie — 27+ 20 en representing the differential volume affected by temperature and pressure and being a constant for the tubes and in which XXVIII] ; BAKING POWDERS 343 G = the weight of the empty tubes; F = the weight of the fillings; 2.7 = the specific gravity of glass; 2.0 = the specific gravity of filling; 8.5 = the specific gravity of brass; G F : a7 ES rita volume of tubes and fillings; G+F 2. = volume of brass weights. i) RESIDUAL CARBON DIOXID?.—TENTATIVE. Weigh 2 grams of the baking powder into a flask suitable for the subsequent determination of carbon dioxid, add 20 cc. of cold water and allow to stand 20 min- utes. Place the flask in a metal drying cell surrounded by boiling water and heat, with occasional shaking, for 20 minutes. To complete the reaction and drive off the last traces of gas from the semi-solid mass, heat quickly to boiling and boil for a minute. Aspirate until the air in the flask is thoroughly changed, and determine the residual carbon dioxid by absorption, as directed under 5 or 8 The process described’, based on the methods of McGill‘ and Catlin’, imitates as far as practicable the conditions encountered in baking but in such a manner that concordant results may be readily obtained on the same sample and comparable results on different samples. 10 AVAILABLE CARBON DIOXID.—TENTATIVE. Subtract the residual carbon dioxid from the total. 11 ACIDITY.—TENTATIVE. (For cream of tartar and its substitutes.) Dissolve 1 gram of the sample in hot water and titrate with N/5 potassium hy- droxid, using phenolnhthalein as an indicator. TARTARIC ACID, FREE OR COMBINED. 12 Wolff Method®.—Tentative. (Applicable in the presence of phosphates. ) Shake repeatedly about 5 grams of the sample with about 250 cc. of cold water in a flask and allow the insoluble portion to subside. Decant the solution through a filter and evaporate the filtrate to dryness. Powder the residue, add a few drops of 1% resorcin solution and about 3 cc. of strong sulphuric acid and heat slowly. Tartaric acid is indicated by a rose-red color which is discharged on dilution with water. TOTAL TARTARIC ACID. 13 Goldenberg-Geromont-Heidenhain Method.—Tentative. (Applicable only in the absence of aluminium salts, calcium salts and phosphates.) Into a shallow 6 inch porcelain dish weigh out 2 grams of the sample and suffi- cient potassium carbonate to combine with all the tartaric acid not in the form of potassium bitartrate. Mix thoroughly with 15 cc. of cold water and add 5 cc. of 99% acetic acid. Stir for 30 seconds with a glass rod bent near the end. Add 100 cee. of 95% alcohol, stir violently for 5 minutes, and allow to settle at least 30 min- 344 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. utes. Filter on a Gooch crucible with a thin layer of paper pulp and wash with 95% alcohol until 2 cc. of the filtrate do not change the color of litmus tincture diluted with water. Place the precipitate in a small casserole, dissolve in 50 cc. of hot water and add N/5 potassium hydroxid, leaving it still strongly acid. Boil for a minute. Finish the titration, using phenolphthalein as an indicator and correct the reading by adding 0.2 cc. One cc. of N/5 potassium hydroxid, under the above conditions, is equivalent to 0.02641 gram of tartaric anhydrid, 0.03001 gram of tartaric acid, or 0.03763 gram of potassium bitartrate. Standardize the N/5 potassium hydroxid by means of pure potassium bitartrate. The accuracy of this method is indicated by the agreement of the percentages of potassium bitartrate in cream of tartar powders containing no free tartaric acid, obtained by calculation from the tartaric acid, with those obtained by calculation from the potassium oxid’. FREE TARTARIC ACID. 14 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. Extract 5 grams of the sample with absolute alcohol and evaporate the alcohol from the extract. Dissolve the residue in dilute ammonium hydroxid, transfer to a test tube, add a good sized crystal of silver nitrate and heat gently. Tartaric acid is indicated by the formation of a silver mirror. If desired, the absolute alco- hol extract may be tested as directed under 12: 15 Quantitative Method.—Tentative. Calculate the percentage of tartaric anhydrid combined with the potash as bi- tartrate, if any, and subtract this from the percentage of total tartaric anhydrid. The difference is the tartaric anhydrid originally added as the free acid, although, if the sample has been kept for a long time or has been improperly stored, a portion or all of this acid may exist at the time of analysis as the sodium salt resulting from the reaction in the can with the sodium bicarbonate. Multiply by 1.137 to obtain the percentage of tartaric acid. 16 POTASSIUM BITARTRATE.—TENTATIVE. If, as is usually the case, potassium bitartrate is the only potassium salt present, multiply the percentage of total potash, determined as directed under 24, by 3.994. STARCH. 17 Direct Inversion Method.—Tentative. (For all baking powder ingredients free from lime.) Weigh 5 grams of the powder into a 500 cc. graduated flask and proceed as directed under VIII, 60. 18 Indirect Method®.—Tentative. (For phosphate, alum phosphate and all other baking powders containing lime. ) Mix 5 grams of the powder with 200 cc. of 3% hydrochloric acid in a 500 cc. grad- uated flask and allow the mixture to stand for an hour, with frequent shaking. Filter on an 11 cm. hardened filter, taking care that a clear filtrate is obtained. Rinse the flask once without attempting to remove all the starch, and wash the paper twice with cold water. Carefully wash the starch from the paper back into the flask with 200 cc. of water. Add 20 cc. of 25% hydrochloric acid and proceed as directed under VIII, 60. XXVIII] BAKING POWDERS 345 The treatment with 3% hydrochloric acid, without dissolving the starch, removes effectively the lime, which otherwise would be precipitated as tartrate by the alkaline copper solution. 19 Modified McGill Method.—Tentative. Digest 1 gram of the powder with 150 cc. of 3% hydrochloric acid for 24 hours at room temperature, with occasional shaking. Filter on a Gooch crucible, wash thoroughly with cold water and then once each, with alcohol and ether. Dry at 110°C. (4 hours is usually sufficient), cool and weigh. Burn off the starch, weigh again and determine the starch by difference. The results by this method on cream of tartar powders and tartaric acid pow- ders agree closely with those obtained by copper reduction. On phosphate, alum and alum-phosphate powders the results are usually satisfactory, but in some instances they may be over 2% too high. ALUM IN THE PRESENCE OF PHOSPHATES’. 20 Qualitative Test.—Tentative. (a) In baking powder.—Burn about 2 grams of the sample to an ash in a porce- lain dish. Extract with boiling water and filter. Add to the filtrate a few drops of ammonium chlorid solution. A flocculent precipitate indicates alum. (b) In cream of tartar —Mix about 1 gram of the sample with an equal quantity of sodium carbonate, burn to an ash and proceed as in (&). ASH!0, 21 INSOLUBLE ASH AND PREPARATION OF SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. Char 5 grams of the sample in a platinum dish at a heat below redness. Boil the carbonaceous mass with dilute hydrochloric acid, filter into a 500 ce. graduated flask and wash with hot water. Return the residue, together with the paper, to the platinum dish and burn to a white ash. Boil again with hydrochloric acid, filter, wash, unite the 2 filtrates and dilute to 500 cc. Incinerate the residue after the last filtration and determine the ash insoluble in acid. 22 IRON AND ALUMINIUM.—TENTATIVE. Draw a 100 ce. aliquot of the solution, prepared as directed in 21, and separate silica, if necessary. Mix the solution with sodium phosphate solution in excess. Add ammonium hydroxid until a permanent precipitate is obtained, then hydro- chloric acid, drop by drop, until the precipitate is dissolved. Heat the solution to about 50°C., mix with a considerable excess of 50% ammonium acetate solution and 4 cc. of 80% acetic acid. As soon as the precipitate of aluminium phosphate, mixed with iron phosphate, has settled, collect on a filter, wash with hot water, ignite and weigh. Fuse the mixed phosphates with 10 parts of sodium carbonate, dissolve in dilute sulphuric acid, reduce with zinc, and determine the iron by titration with a standard permanganate solution. In the same solution determine the phosphoric acid, as directed under I, 6 or 9. To obtain the weight of alumina (Al.0;) subtract the sum of the weights of ferric oxid (Fe.03) and phosphorus pentoxid (P,0;) from the weight of the mixed phosphates. 346 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. 23 CALCIUM.—TENTATIVE. Heat the combined filtrate and washings, obtained in 22, to 50°C. and add an excess of ammonium oxalate solution. Allow to stand in a warm place until the precipitate has settled, filter, wash the precipitate with hot water, dry, ignite over a Bunsen burner and finally over a blast lamp. Cool in a desiccator and weigh as calcium oxid. 24 POTASSIUM AND SODIUM.—TENTATIVE. - Evaporate an aliquot of the solution, prepared as directed under 21, nearly to dryness to remove the excess of hydrochloric acid, dilute and heat to boiling. While still boiling add barium chlorid solution so long as a precipitate forms and then enough barium hydroxid solution to make the liquid strongly alkaline. As soon as the precipitate has settled, filter and wash with hot water, heat the filtrate to boiling, add sufficient ammonium carbonate solution (1 part of ammonium car- bonate in 5 of 2% ammonium hydroxid solution) to precipitate all the barium, filter and wash with hot water. Evaporate the filtrate to dryness and ignite the residue below redness to remove ammonium salts. Add to the residue a little water and a few drops of ammonium carbonate solution. Filter into a tared plat- inum dish, evaporate, ignite below redness and weigh the mixed potassium and sodium chlorids. Determine potassium in the mixed chlorids as directed in I, 45, beginning with “Digest the residue with hot water, filter through a small filter’. Calculate the potassium so found to its equivalent of potassium chlorid and subtract this from the weight of the mixed chlorids to obtain the weight of sodium chlorid. 25 PHOSPHORIC ACID.—OFFICIAL. Mix 5 grams of the sample with a little magnesium nitrate solution, dry, ignite, dissolve in dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute the solution to a definite volume. In an aliquot of the solution determine phosphoric acid as directed under I, 6 or 9. 26 SULPHURIC ACID!!.—TENTATIVE. Boil 5 grams of the sample gently for 1} hours with a mixture of 300 cc. of water and 15 ce. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Dilute to 500 cc., draw off a 100 ce. aliquot, dilute considerably, precipitate with 10% barium chlorid solution, filter the precipitated barium sulphate on a Gooch, wash with hot water, dry, ignite and weigh. 27 AMMONIA.—TENTATIVE. Introduce 2 grams of the sample into a distillation flask, add 300-400 ce. of water and an excess of sodium hydroxid solution, connect with a condenser and distil into a measured amount of standard acid. ‘Titrate the excess of acid in the distillate with standard alkali, using methyl red or cochineal as an indicator. Ammonia alum is often an ingredient of cream of tartar substitutes and baking powders, and ammonium carbonate is occasionally present in baking powders. LEAD. Method I. Colorimetric Method'?.—Tentative. (Applicable in the absence of alum and phosphates. Approximate method for preliminary work.) 28 REAGENTS. (a) Sodium bisulphite solution.—Dissolve 10 grams of anhydrous sodium car- bonate in sufficient water to make 100 cc. and pass sulphur dioxid into the solution XXVIII] BAKING POWDERS 347 until carbon dioxid is no longer evolved. Dilute a little of this solution with 10 volumes of water as needed in the determination. (b) 10% potassium cyanid solution. (C) Standard lead solution.—Dissolve 1.6 grams of crystallized lead nitrate, pre- viously dried over sulphuric acid, in a liter of water containing a few drops of dilute nitric acid. One ce. of this solution is equivalent to 1 mg. of metallic lead. Dilute 1 ce. of this solution to 100 cc. immediately before use in making up the color standards. (d) Lead-free tartrate solution.—Dissolve 200 grams of tartaric acid in about 500 ec. of hot water, cool, add 40 cc. of the sodium bisulphite solution, heat to incipient boiling and test a few drops of the solution with potassium sulphocyanate solution to ascertain if all the iron is reduced to the ferrous state, repeating the treatment with about 10 cc. of the sodium bisulphite solution in case ferric iron is still present. Cool, add 20 ce. of the 10% potassium cyanid solution, and then strong ammonium hydroxid solution until the solution is distinctly alkaline to litmus paper. Boil until the solution is clear, cool, add 2 ec. of freshly prepared, colorless ammonium sulphid solution, dilute to 1 liter and allow to stand overnight. Filter to remove the precipitated sulphids, boil the filtrate until hydrogen sulphid is removed, cool and dilute to 1 liter with water. 29 PREPARATION OF SOLUTION. (a) Baking powder.—Weigh 20 grams of the sample into a 250 cc. casserole, add water a little at a time with stirring until foaming ceases, then hydrochloric acid (1 to 1) a little at a time until all the carbonate is decomposed and finally 5 ce. excess of the hydrochloric acid. Cover with a watch glass and digest on a steam bath until all the starch is hydrolyzed as shown by testing 1 or 2 drops of the mix- ture with iodin. Filter through a folded filter and wash the filter several times with small portions of hot water. Treat the residue on the filter with several small por- tions of hot nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.2), collect the acid solution in a separate, small porcelain dish, evaporate this solution to dryness on a water bath and expel nitric acid by several treatments and evaporations with a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Rinse the contents of the dish through a small filter into the main solution and make up to 100 cc. (b) Tartaric acid and cream of tartar—Dissolve 100 grams of the sample in hot water, add 50 ce. of rochloric acid (1 to 1), filter into a liter graduated flask, wash the filter several times with water, and then treat the residue on the filter with several small portions of hot nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.2), collect the acid solution in a separate, small porcelain dish, evaporate this solution to dryness on a water bath and expel nitric acid by several treatments and evaporations with a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Rinse the contents of the dish through a small filter into the main solution, finally diluting the combined filtrates and wash- ings to a liter. 30 DETERMINATION. Introduce 50 cc. of the solution, prepared as directed in 29, into a beaker, add 2 cc. of the sodium bisulphite solution, heat to incipient boiling, and test a few drops of the solution with potassium sulphocyanate to determine if all the iron is reduced to the ferrous state, repeating the treatment with the sodium bisulphite solution if ferric iron is still present. Cool, add 1 cc. of the 10% potassium cyanid solution and neutralize to litmus with strong ammonium hydroxid solution; finally add an excess of 1 ce. of the last reagent. Boil gently until clear and colorless, cool 348 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. and make up to 100 cc. Treat with 2 drops of freshly prepared, colorless ammo- nium sulphid solution, mix and compare in a colorimeter with standard solutions, prepared by adding measured amounts of the standard lead solution to 50 ce. of the lead-free tartrate solution, diluting to 100 ce. and treating with 2 drops of freshly prepared colorless ammonium sulphid solution. The final comparison should be made with a standard containing approximately the same amount of lead, and the addition of ammonium sulphid solution should be made to the standards and the solution of the sample at the same time, as the colors change on standing. 31 Method II.—Tentative. (Applicable to alum or phosphate baking powders or their ingredients.) Weigh 100 grams of the sample into a 1.3 liter beaker and add an excess of hy- drochloric acid (1 to 3) in small portions, keeping down excessive frothing with a little ether. Heat the mixture on.a steam bath until the starch is hydrolyzed and the solution is quite limpid. Cool and add 200 ec. of 50% lead-free ammonium citrate solution. Place the beaker in a bath of cold water and add carefully ammo- nium hydroxid solution, in small portions with constant stirring, until the mixture is alkaline. If a precipitate forms, add sufficient ammonium citrate solution to dissolve it. Then add 15 cc. of saturated mercuric chlorid solution, dilute the mixture to about 1200 ec., saturate with hydrogen sulphid and allow to stand until the precipitate has settled (15-20 minutes). Filter and wash the precipitate with hydrogen sulphid water. Place the paper and precipitate in a small casserole, add 10 cc. of concentrated nitric acid and 2 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid and heat on a hot plate until the mixed acids have been slowly driven off. Heat the residue in a muffle at low redness until the mercury salts have volatilized. Cool the casserole and leach the residue several times with 25% ammonium acetate solu- tion, made slightly alkaline with ammonium hydroxid, pass the leachings through a small filter into a beaker and finally wash the residue and filter paper with a little hot water. Acidify the combined filtrate and washings with acetic acid, add an excess of potassium dichromate solution and allow to stand overnight. Filter on a tared Gooch, wash with water, dry for 30 minutes at 125°-150°C., cool and weigh as lead chromate. Calculate the weight of metallic lead. Conduct a blank determination upon all the reagents and correct the result accordingly. 32 Method III.—Tentative. (Applicable to alum or phosphate baking powders or their ingredients. ) Transfer 200 grams of the sample to a 8 liter Jena flask, add 300 cc. of concen- trated nitric acid in small portions, shake thoroughly after each addition and heat the mixture slowly, shaking repeatedly. When brown fumes begin to appear at the mouth of the flask, discontinue heating and insert a stemless funnel in the neck of the flask. As soon as the action has moderated, place the flask on an asbestos gauze over a small Bunsen flame. When the action becomes weak, add slowly 90 ce. of concentrated sulphuric acid and continue heating until the fumes disappear. Then add 25 ce. of concentrated nitric acid from time to time with con- tinued heating until all the starch is completely oxidized. Usually 3-4 additions of 25 ce. portions of nitric acid suffice. Finally expel the nitric acid as completely as possible. Cool, add 400 cc. of water, shake and allow to settle. The soluble sul- phates of sodium, potassium, aluminium, iron, etc., go into solution, while calcium sulphate and most of the lead sulphate will be precipitated. Filter through an 18 XXVIII] BAKING POWDERS 349 em. folded filter into a liter Erlenmeyer flask, rinse the 3 liter flask 2-3 times with small portions of water and pour the rinsings through the filter. Reserve the fil- trate for the recovery of dissolved lead salts. Open the filter, containing the pre- cipitate, over a 600 cc. beaker and wash the precipitate into it. Then transfer the contents of the beaker to a 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask together with whatever pre- cipitate remains in the 3 liter flask. Dilute the contents of the flask so as to nearly fill the latter, stir thoroughly to dissolve the calcium sulphate, add 20 cc. of strong acetic acid and saturate the liquid thoroughly with hydrogen sulphid. Stopper the flask and set aside until the precipitate settles. Siphon off the supernatant liquid. When much calcium sulphate is present, one such treatment is not suffi- cient to dissolve all of it. In this case refill the flask with water, again acidify, saturate with hydrogen sulphid and allow to stand till the calcium sulphate is practically all dissolved and the residue of sulphids is dark colored. Solution may be hastened by the addition of lead-free sodium acetate to the water (50-75 grams to each 2 liters). Treat the liquid containing the soluble sulphates separately to recover the trace of lead which it may contain. Partially neutralize with ammonium hydroxid solu- tion just short of the point of producing a permanent precipitate of aluminium phosphate, saturate with hydrogen sulphid and allow the precipitate to settle. Some iron sulphid also will usually be precipitated. The sulphid precipitations should be made in very slightly acid solutions, otherwise lead sulphid will not be precipitated completely. Siphon off the supernatant liquid, transfer the precipi- tate to an 11 cm. filter and wash with hydrogen sulphid water. Transfer the first precipitate remaining in the 2 liter flask to a second 11 cm. filter and treat in the same way. Place the 2 filters with their contents in a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, add 10 ec. of concentrated nitric acid and 5 ec. of concentrated sulphuric acid, insert a stemless funnel in the neck and heat to completely oxidize the material. When the nitric acid has all been expelled and the residue darkens, add more nitric acid until no such darkening occurs. Finally heat the residue till fumes of sulphur trioxid are given off, cool and add 15 ce. of water. Filter through a 7 em. filter, rinse, then wash the filter twice with small portions of dilute sulphuric acid and finally with a little water. Place a clean 150 cc. beaker under the filter, dissolve the precipitate in 15-25 cc. of ammonium acetate solution [1 part of 99% acetic acid, 1 of water and 1 of ammonium hydroxid (sp. gr. 0.90); made neutral to lit- mus paper] and wash thoroughly with water. Acidify the filtrate and washings with acetic acid, add an excess of potassium dichromate solution, heat on a steam bath and allow to cool and settle. Filter on a tared Gooch prepared with a thick layer of asbestos which has been previously dried at 125°C., wash with water, dry at about 125°C. and weigh as lead chromate. 33 Method IV.—Tentative. (Applicable in the absence of alum and phosphates.) Weigh 100 grams of the sample into a liter beaker and add an excess of hydro- chloric acid (1 to 3) in small portions, keeping down excessive frothing with a little ether. Heat the mixture on a steam bath until the starch is hydrolyzed and the solution is quite limpid. Cool, add ammonium hydroxid solution until distinctly alkaline, dilute to about 800-900 cc. and saturate with hydrogen sulphid. Allow the mixture to stand for 3-4 hours or until the precipitate has settled, filter on a 12.5 cm. close-textured paper and wash the precipitate several times with hydrogen sulphid water. Place the filter paper and precipitate in a 100 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, add 5 cc. of concentrated sulphuric acid and 5 ce. of concentrated nitric acid and METHODS OF ANALYSIS heat on a hot plate, with occasional additions. of small portions of concentrated nitric acid, until the mixture no longer blackens when evaporated to the point at which white fumes of sulphur trioxid appear. Cool, dilute with 20 cc. of water, warm until the ferric sulphate goes into solution, cool and then add 40 ec. of 95% aleohol by volume. Allow to stand overnight, filter on a Gooch and wash with 95% alcohol. Dissolve the lead sulphate remaining on the filter by washing with 20 ec. of 25% ammonium acetate solution, rendered slightly alkaline with ammo- nium hydroxid, collect the filtrate in a small beaker, passing it through the filter 3-4 times. Finally wash the filter with hot water, acidify the combined filtrate and washings with acetic acid, add an excess of potassium dichromate solution and allow to stand overnight. Filter on a small, tared Gooch, wash, dry for 30 minutes at 125°-150°C. and weigh as lead chromate. Calculate the metallic lead. 34 ARSENIC.—TENTATIVE. Introduce 5 grams of the sample directly into the generator described under XII, 2 (Fig. 7), add 10 ce. of water, a little at a time to prevent foaming over, and then 15 cc. of concentrated, arsenic-free hydrochloric acid, introducing it drop by drop until foaming ceases. Heat on a steam bath until a drop of the mixture, when diluted and treated with iodin solution, shows no blue color. Then dilute to about 30 ec. with water, add 4 ec. of potassium iodid solution and continue from this point as directed under XII, 4, beginning with ‘‘Heat to about 90°C.”’, except that the blank and the standards for comparison are made by the use of the arsenic- free hydrochloric acid of the same concentration as that used in the determination.

(a) If the sample is already in powder form, rub thoroughly in a mortar and keep in a tightly corked tube or flask. Powders in paper, cachet or capsule con- tainers are frequently of such fineness as to require little further trituration except to produce a uniform product. On a tared 5.5 em. filter weigh 0.3-0.5 gram of the sample or, if preferred, an amount equal to, or a multiple of, the average unit dose (previously ascertained by weighing collectively 20 or more such doses), wash with successive 5-10 cc. portions of the chloroform (80-50 ce. are usually sufficient) until the extraction is complete as indicated by the absence of any residue after evapora- tion of a small portion of the last washing. Collect the solution in a 200 cc. Erlen- meyer flask, connect the flask with a condenser by means of a cylindrical Kjeldahl connecting bulb! and distil until the volume is reduced to about 10 cc. (b) If the caffein is present in the citrated form, or the composition of the mix- ture precludes complete extraction as directed in (€), weigh out the desired amount, transfer to a Squibb separatory funnel, add 50 cc. of the chloroform and 20 ce. of water, shake vigorously and, after clearing, draw off the lower layer through a small, dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. In the case of coated tablets and pills, ascertain their average weight, powder in a mortar and weigh out for each determination an amount equivalent to one or more tablets or pills. Repeat the extraction twice, using 50 ce. portions of the chloroform for each extraction. Dis- til the combined chloroform extracts to about 10 cc. (C) In the case of dilute alcoholic solutions, evaporate a measured quantity on a steam bath until most of the alcohol has been expelled, or take an aliquot of the residue from an alcohol determination; transfer to a separatory funnel by pour- ing and rinsing with a minimum of water so that the final volume does not greatly exceed 20 cc., and then, in order to avoid any loss of acetanilid by hydrolysis during evaporation, add a little solid sodium bicarbonate and a drop of acetic anhydrid. (Should the preparation contain alkaloids, acidify with a few drops of dilute sul- phuric acid immediately after acetylization to retain such basic material in solu- tion.) Add 50 ce. of the chloroform, shake vigorously and, after clearing, draw off the chloroform layer through a filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Repeat the extraction twice, using 50 cc. portions of the chloroform for each extraction, and distil the combined chloroform washings to a volume of about 10 cc. CAFFEIN AND ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE, 2 REAGENTS. (a) Standard bromid-bromate solution.—Dissolve 50 grams of potassium hydroxid in a small quantity of water, add a slight excess of bromin, dilute with water to dis- solve any separated salts, boil to expel excess of bromin and dilute to 1 liter. Stand- ardize the solution against recrystallized acetanilid and adjust the solution so that 1 ec. is equivalent to 5 or 10 mg. of acetanilid as desired. (b) Chloroform.—Redistilled and residue-free. All corks used in the distillation should be treated previously with chloroform. 351 3b2 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (C) Wagner’s reagent.—Dissolve 2 grams of iodin and 6 of potassium iodid in a minimum amount of water and dilute to 100 cc. 3 CAFFEIN.—TENTATIVE. Treat the chloroform extract, obtained in 1, with 10 ec. of sulphuric acid (1 to 10) and digest on a steam bath until the contents of the flask are reduced to 5 ce. Add 10 cc. of water and continue the digestion until the liquid is again reduced to 5 ec., then cool and transfer to a separatory funnel with a minimum of water, so that the final volume does not greatly exceed 20 cc. Add 50 cc. of the chloroform, extract in the usual way and, after clearing, withdraw the lower layer through a small, dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Repeat the extraction with two 50 ce. portions of the chloroform. On the completion of the third extraction, distil the combined extracts down to about 10 cc., finally transferring the residual liquid, by washing with chloroform, to a tared beaker or crystallizing dish. Allow the solution to evaporate spontaneously, or by gentle heat and an air blast, to apparent dryness. Cool and allow to stand until the weight becomes constant. Chloroform extracts in addition to caffein and acetanilid certain oils, fats, waxes, resins, pigments and other substances from those preparations which contain pow- dered cinnamon, celery seed, ginger or other vegetable products. These appear either in suspension or solution after the caffein-acetanilid mixture has been digested and contaminate the caffein. Remove any suspended impurities by filtering through a small, moistened filter immediately after hydrolysis and prior to extraction with chloroform. Should the recovered caffein be deeply colored or contaminated with foreign matter, purify it as follows: Dissolve in very dilute sulphuric acid (about 5 cc. of N/5 acid for every 100 mg. of caffein), filter, if necessary, through a mois- tened filter, add 15-20 cc. of Wagner’s reagent, sufficient at least to distinctly color the supernatant liquid, stir and allow to stand an hour, preferably in a refrigerator. Filter and wash the periodid with a few ce. of iodin solution, transfer both filter and precipitate to a separatory funnel, using not more than 20 cc. of water, decolorize with a crystal of sodium thiosulphate, then extract with three 50 cc. portions of chloroform and proceed as directed above. 4 ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE. Transfer the solution of anilin sulphate, remaining in the separatory funnel in 3, to the Erlenmeyer flask used in effecting hydrolysis, then heat 10 minutes on a steam bath to expel all traces of chloroform. Wash the filter, used in the pre- ceding operation to dry the chloroform solution of caffein, with 5 cc. of water, adding the latter to the main solution of anilin sulphate. Add 10 ec. of concen- trated hydrochloric acid, then run in the standard bromid-bromate solution until a faint yellow coloration remains, rotating the flask sufficiently to agglomerate the precipitated tribromanilin. Calculate the quantity of acetanilid from the number of cc. required to complete the precipitation. Caffein and acetanilid are the 2 principal ingredients of the preparation known as “acetanilid compound’’, a further constituent being sodium bicarbonate. The latter appears as the chloroform-insoluble residue and may be determined by ti- trating such residue, or one obtained by titrating a portion of the original mixture, with standard acid, using congo red as an indicator. The bicarbonate may also be determined by igniting the original sample, or the chloroform-insoluble residue, with sulphuric acid and weighing the resulting sodium sulphate. Should the “‘acetanilid compound” be combined with sodium bromid, the latter, in the absence of other halides, may be determined volumetrically by the Volhard method [III, 15]. XXIX] DRUGS 353 CAFFEIN AND ACETPHENETIDIN (PHENACETIN) IN MIXTURES. 5 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE AND SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE, In the case of preparations containing acetphenetidin instead of acetanilid, but otherwise identical, make the gross separation of the caffein-acetphenetidin mix- ture as directed under 1. 6 CAFFEIN.—TENTATIVE. Treat the chloroform extract, obtained as directed under 1, with 10 cc. of sul- phuric acid (1 to 10) and digest on a steam bath until the liquid is reduced to about 5 cc. Dilute with 10 cc. of water and continue the digestion until the volume is again reduced to 5 cc., then add 10 cc. of water and continue heating until the residual liquid amounts to 8-10 cc. If, during the digestion, particles of acet- phenetidin remain on the sides of the flask rinse them into the solution with a few drops of chloroform. Great care must also be given to the degree of evaporation. Should the aqueous- acid solution and suspension of caffein-acetphenetidin be concentrated far beyond the limits indicated, more or less phenetidin sulphonate is likely to be formed, which later resists acetylization and conversion to acetphenetidin. Cool and transfer with water to a separatory funnel, so that the final volume does not greatly exceed 20 cc. Then proceed as directed under 3. 7 ACETPHENETIDIN.—TENTATIVE. Wash the filter, used to dry the chloroform in 6, with 5 cc. of water, receiving the ter in the separatory funnel containing the solution of phenetidin sulphate. Treat with successive small portions of solid sodium bicarbonate until, after com- plete neutralization of free acid, an excess of the former remains at the bottom of the mixture. Add 50 cc. of chloroform and for every 0.10 gram of acetphenetidin, known or believed to have been present, 5 drops of acetic anhydrid; shake vigorously, allow to clear, then withdraw the chloroform into a second separatory funnel containing 5 cc. of water. Shake this mixture and, after clearing, pass the solvent through a small, dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Distil over about 40 cc. of the chloroform, make up the distillate to 50 cc. with chloroform, add this to the mate- rial in the first separatory funnel and extract again. Withdraw the chloroform layer to the second separatory funnel, wash and distil about 50 cc.(for use in the final extraction). Distil the chloroform down to about 10 cc., transfer with sufficient fresh solvent to a tared 50 cc. beaker or crystallizing dish, evaporate on the steam bath to apparent dryness, finally removing any considerable excess of acetic anhy- drid by repeated additions of 1 cc. of chloroform and a drop of alcohol. ‘The re- formed acetphenetidin should finally appear as a whitish, crystalline mass with a faint, acetous odor which disappears completely on standing some hours in the open, or in a vacuum desiccator over lime. Weigh from time to time until the final weight differs from the preceding by not more than 0.5 mg. CAFFEIN AND ANTIPYRIN IN MIXTURES’. 8 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE AND SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. (a) Extract a weighed portion of the finely powdered sample on a filter with chloroform to separate the caffein and antipyrin from the usual excipients of tab- let and pill combinations. Distil off the greater part of the chloroform and evap- orate the remainder on the steam bath. 354 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. (b) In the case of alcoholic preparations, remove the alcohol from a measured amount of the sample by heating on a steam bath. Extract the residue with three 50 cc. portions of chloroform in a separatory funnel. Distil off the greater por- tion of the chloroform and evaporate the remainder on a steam bath. 9 ANTIPYRIN.—TENTATIVE. Transfer the residue, obtained in 8, which should weigh about 0.25 gram, to a 150 ce. separatory funnel by means of two 5 cc. portions of alcohol-free chloroform, followed by 10 cc. of water. Add 1 gram of sodium bicarbonate and 10-15 ce. of N/5 iodin (or double the quantity of N/10 iodin), adding the latter in small por- tions and shaking the mixture vigorously after each addition. The iodin should then be in excess of that required to convert all the antipyrin into the mono-iod derivative. If not, add a little more and shake the mixture again. Remove the free iodin with a small crystal of sodium thiosulphate, add 15 ec. of chloroform, shaking vigorously for 1 minute. After clearing, draw off the chloroform solution into a second separatory funnel, wash with 5 cc. of water, filter through a small, dry filter into a tared 50 cc. beaker and evaporate to apparent dryness on the steam bath, using an air blast. Repeat the extraction with two (three, if N/10 iodin is used) 25 ec. portions of chloroform, wash, filter and evaporate each portion as above. Dry the nearly colorless, crystalline residue of caffein and iodantipyrin 30 minutes at 105°C., cool and weigh. Designate this weight as ‘‘a’’. Dissolve the composite residue in 5 cc. of glacial acetic acid, add 10 cc. of saturated sulphur dioxid solution, then transfer with hot water to a 400-500 ec. beaker until the final volume amounts to about 200 ce. Add sufficient silver nitrate solution to precipitate all the iodin (about 0.3 gram of silver nitrate); then a few drops of nitric acid, heat nearly to boiling and stir to agglomerate the silver iodid. Add 15 cc. of concentrated nitric acid, cover the beaker with a watch glass and boil gently for 5 minutes. Filter by decantation through a tared Gooch, wash the precipitate once with a little alcohol, then with two 100 cc. portions of boiling water and finally transfer the iodid to the crucible. Wash several times with hot water and again with alcohol to remove traces of organic matter, dry 30 minutes in an air bath at 110°C., cool and weigh. The weight of silver iodid multiplied by 0.8012 gives the weight of antipyrin. 10 CAFFEIN.—TENTATIVE. Calculate the quantity of caffein by multiplying the weight of silver iodid by 1.3374 and subtracting the product from the weight ‘‘a’’ above. In the analysis of a mixture containing caffein, antipyrin, acetanilid and sodium salicylate, the following steps are essential in effecting a separation: (1) Extraction of caffein, acetanilid and antipyrin with chloroform from the aqueous soda solution; (2) Hydrolysis with sulphuric acid of the 3 substances thus separated preliminary to the determination of caffein and antipyrin as directed in 9 and 10. ACETANILID AND ACETPHENETIDIN (PHENACETIN) IN MIXTURES’*. ACETPHENETIDIN.—TENTATIVE. 11 REAGENTS. (a) Purified iodin.—Dissolve 2 parts of resublimed iodin and 1 of potassium iodid in 1 of water, pour the clear solution into a large volume of water, filter and wash the finely precipitated iodin several times on a porous plate with water. Dry in the air and finally in a desiccator over sulphuric acid where it is kept in a glass- stoppered weighing bottle. XXIX] DRUGS 355 (b) Standard sodium thiosulphate solution.—Dissolve 30 grams of crystallized sodium thiosulphate in water and dilute to 1 liter. Standardize this solution against the purified iodin as follows: Weigh out about 0.3 gram of the purified iodin in a small, glass capsule (about 2 inch high and 3 inch diameter), provided with a closely fitting glass cap or stopper, and place the ahieules in a 200 ce. Erlenmeyer flask con- taining 0.5 gram of potassium iodid dissolved in 10 cc. of water. After complete solution, titrate with the sodium thiosulphate solution, using 1 or 2 drops of starch solution as an indicator. (C) Standard todin solution.—Dissolve 40 grams of potassium iodid in the least possible quantity of water, add 30 grams of the purified iodin and, after solution, dilute to 1 liter. Standardize 25 cc. of this solution against the standard sodium thiosulphate solution. 12 DETERMINATION. (1) Place 0.2 gram of the acetphenetidin-acetanilid mixture in a 50 ee. lipped Erlenmeyer flask, add 2 cc. of glacial acetic acid, heat gently over a wire gauze to complete solution and dilute with 40 cc. of water, previously warmed to 70°C. Transfer the clear liquid with two 10 cc. portions of warm (40°C.) water to a glass- stoppered, 100 cc. graduated flask containing 25 ec. of the standard iodin solution warmed to 40°C. Stopper, mix thoroughly, then add 3 cc. of concentrated hydro- chloric acid, continue shaking until crystallization begins and then set aside to cool. If the ratio of acetphenetidin to acetanilid is equal to or greater than unity, crystalline scales will form almost immediately on the addition of acid. As the proportion of acetanilid increases, however, the periodid tends to remain in the liquid state. In such cases, gentle agitation or rotation of the flask in water, warmed not to exceed 40°C., hastens the formation of crystals. When the contents of the flask are at room temperature, fill with water to within 2-3 cc. of the mark, mix thoroughly and allow to stand overnight. Fill to the mark with water, mix thor- oughly, allow to stand 30 minutes, filter through a 5.5 em. dry, closely fitted filter into a 50 cc. graduated flask, rejecting, however, about 15 cc. of the first runnings but reserving them for the recovery of acetanilid. Transfer the 50 cc. aliquot to a 200 ec. Erlenmeyer flask and titrate with the standard sodium thiosulphate Sune Calculate the amount of acetphenetidin from the following formula: Acetphenetidin = I (0.0896 X N) in which 0.0896 = the quantity of acetphenetidin contained in 1 ec. of a normal solution of this substance; N = the normality of the standard sodium thiosulphate solution employed; and I = the number of cc. of the standard sodium thiosulphate solu- tion corresponding to the iodin combined with the acet- phenetidin. The formula of the precipitated periodid, which constitutes the basis for the above determination, is (C.H;0.C;HsNH.COCHsS):HI. Is. (2) The gravimetric determination of acetphenetidin may, if desired, be effected as follows: Filter off the periodid, preferably by suction, wash with 10-15 ce. of the standard iodin solution, then transfer together with the filter to a separatory funnel, using not over 50 cc. of water. Remove both free and added iodin with a few small crystals of sodium sulphite and extract the liquid with three 50 cc. portions of chloroform, washing each portion subsequently into a second separatory funnel with 5 cc. of water. After washing and clearing, filter the chloroform solution through 356 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. a dry 5.5 em. filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, distil off most of the chloro- form, transfer the residual solution (5-10 cc.), by means of a little chloroform, to a small, tared beaker or crystallizing dish, evaporate to dryness on a steam bath, cool and weigh. For the identification of acetphenetidin, Bee alone or in admixture with acet- anilid, the following test will be found of value: To 1-2 mg. of the sample in a test tube add a drop of acetic acid, 0.5 ec. of water and 1 cc. of N/10 iodin, warm the mixture to about 40°C., then add a drop of concentrated hydrochloric acid. If acetphenetidin alone is present, its periodid separates almost immediately in the form of reddish brown leaflets or needle-like crystals. 1f the sample consists largely of acetanilid, the separation takes place on cooling and shaking the liquid. In the presence of considerable acetanilid, the periodid first separates as minute, oily globules, which, on vigorous shaking, gradually become crystalline. This test is so delicate that as little as 0.5 mg. of acetphenetidin may, if alone, be detected in the form of its characteristic periodid. 13 ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE. (1) 1f the combined weight of the acetphenetidin-acetanilid mixture is known, determine that of the latter ingredient by difference; or, (2) Determine it directly from a second aliquot of the filtrate from the acetphenetidin periodid in 12 as follows: Pipette 25-380 cc. of the clear liquid into a separatory funnel, decolorize with solid sodium sulphite and solid sodium bicarbonate in slight excess, add 1 or 2 drops of acetic anhydrid, then extract with three 60 ce. portions of chloroform, passing the chloroform solution, when cleared, through a small, dry filter into a 200 ce. Erlenmeyer flask, and distil the chloroform, by the aid of gentle heat, to about 20 ec. Add 10 ce. of sulphuric acid (1 to 10) and digest on a steam bath until the resi- due has been reduced one half, add 20 ce. of water and continue the digestion for an hour; then add a second 20 ce. portion of water and 10 cc. of concentrated hydro- chloric acid, titrate very slowly, drop by drop, with the standard bromid-bromate solu- tion, 2 (a), until a faint yellow color remains. While adding this reagent, rotate the flask sufficiently to agglomerate the precipitated tribromanilin. Calculate the amount of acetanilid present. If the preparation contains caffein or antipyrin or both in addition to acet- anilid and acetphenetidin, proceed as follows: (1) Digest the mixture by heating with dilute sulphuric acid to convert acetphenetidin and acetanilid to phenetidin and anilin sulphates, respectively; (2) Separate the caffein and antipyrin by ex- traction with chloroform; (3) Re-form acetphenetidin and acetanilid by treat- ing the solution of the corresponding sulphates with solid sodium bicarbonate in slight excess, then add a few drops of acetic anhydrid and extract with chloroform‘. ACETPHENETIDIN (PHENACETIN) AND SALOL IN MIXTURES’. ACETPHENETIDIN. 14 Acid Hydrolysis Method.—Tentative. Weigh out on a tared 5.5 em. filter an amount of the sample equal to, or a mul- tiple of, the average weight of a unit dose and wash with sufficient successive, small portions of chloroform to extract completely all acetphenetidin and salol present in the mixture (about 40 cc.). Collect the solution in a tared, 100 cc. beaker and evaporate on a warm plate (50°-60°C.) to apparent dryness, using an air blast. Let stand 24 hours at room temperature to practically constant weight, then trans- fer the crystalline residue, by means of chloroform, to a 50 ce. lipped Erlenmeyer flask, evaporate the solvent by means of an air blast and gentle heat, add 10 cc. XXIX] DRUGS 357 of sulphuric acid (1 to 10) and evaporate on the steam bath until the volume is re- duced one half. Add 10 cc. of water and continue the digestion as before, then add a second 10 cc. of water and evaporate to 5 cc. Transfer the residue with about 20 cc. of water to a small separatory funnel and extract with 15, 10 and 5 cc. of chloroform, washing each extract with 5 cc. of water in a second separatory funnel to recover traces of phenetidin sulphate possibly dissolved by the chloroform, finally rejecting the latter since it contains all the salol not previously eliminated during the digestion. Add the wash water in the second separatory funnel to the solution of phenetidin sulphate in the first separatory funnel and proceed as directed under 7, beginning with ‘‘Treat with successive small portions of solid sodium bicarbonate’’. 15 Alkaline Hydrolysis Method.—Tentative. On a small, tared filter weigh out an amount of the sample to contain not more than 0.10 gram of salol, exhaust with chloroform as directed in 14, collect the sol- vent in a small, lipped Erlenmeyer flask and evaporate the chloroform by means of an air blast without heat. Add 10 cc. of 2.5% sodium hydroxid solution and heat 5 minutes on a steam bath. Cool quickly to room temperature in running water to prevent partial hydrolysis of the acetphenetidin. Transfer the liquid to a separa- tory funnel with a minimum of water, then rinse out the flask with the first 20 cc. portion of chloroform used in the extraction. Extract the alkaline solution with three 20 cc. portions of chloroform, wash each portion in a second separatory funnel with 5 cc. of water and pass the solution through a small, dry filter into a 200 ce. Erlenmeyer flask. Designate the combined alkaline solution and washings as A. Distil the combined chloroform extracts to about 5 cc. Transfer by means of a little chloroform to a small, tared beaker or crystallizing dish, evaporate on a steam bath with the aid of an air blast, cool and weigh the residual acetphenetidin at intervals until the weight becomes constant. SALOL. 16 Acid Hydrolysis Method.—Tentative. Subtract the weight of acetphenetidin, as determined in 14, from the combined weight of the 2 ingredients determined in 14, to obtain the weight of salol. A a Alkaline Hydrolysis Method.—Tentative. Place the combined alkaline solutions, A, under 15, in a 500 cc. glass-stoppered bottle, dilute with water to about 200 cc., run in from a burette an excess (about 45 cc.) of N/7 potassium bromid-bromate, add 10 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and shake 1 minute, then at intervals for 30 minutes. Add 10 cc. of 15% potas- sium iodid solution and shake at intervals for 15 minutes. Titrate the free iodin with standard sodium thiosulphate solution (preferably N/7), previously standard- ized against the N/7 bromid-bromate solution. One cc. of N/7 potassium bromid- bromate is equivalent to 2.55 mg. of salol. From the number of ce. of the N/7 bromid-bromate solution used, calculate the amount of salol on the basis of 12 atoms of bromin to 1 molecule of salol. ACETANILID AND SODIUM SALICYLATE IN MIXTURES. 18 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE AND SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. Weigh an amount of the powdered sample equal to, or a multiple of, an average unit dose, transfer to a separatory funnel containing 10 cc. of water and, for every unit dose, add 0.10 gram of solid sodium bicarbonate. In the case of coated tablets 358 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. and pills, ascertain their average weight, powder in a mortar and weigh out an amount of the powder equivalent to one or more tablets or pills for each determina- tion prior to treatment in the separatory funnel. In the examination of alcoholic preparations, distil off the alcohol from a measured volume on a steam bath, transfer to a separatory funnel with a minimum of water and add sufficient solid sodium bicarbonate (0.5 to 1.0 gram). 19 ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE. Extract the alkaline solution, obtained under 18, with three 50 cc. portions of chloroform, wash each portion with 5 cc. of water in a second separatory funnel and collect the solvent, without previous drying, in a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Designate the aqueous solution as A. Distil off the chloroform very gently to about 5 ec., add 10 ee. of dilute sulphuric acid and completely hydrolyze on the steam bath. Proceed from this point as directed in 4. 20 SODIUM SALICYLATE.—TENTATIVE. Acidify the aqueous solution of sodium salicylate, A, under 19, with a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid and extract with sufficient (3-5) 25 cc. portions of chloroform to exhaust the salicylic acid present in the mixture. Treat each por- tion in a second separatory funnel with 20 ec. of water, containing 1 gram of anhydrous sodium carbonate for every 100 mg. of salicylic acid. Shake vigorously and, after clearing, wash each portion again in a second separatory funnel with 5 ce. of water, then add the washings to the main aqueous soda solution of sodium salicylate. Dilute to a known volume, transfer an aliquot, representing about 100 mg. of salicylic acid, to a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask, make up to 100 cc., heat nearly to boiling, then run in from a burette 25-40 ec. of strong (about N/5) iodin solu- tion, sufficient to insure an excess during digestion and digest for an hour on a steam bath. Remove the free iodin with a few drops of sodium thiosulphate solution, decant the clear liquid through a tared Gooch, retaining most of the precipitate, tetraiodophenylenquinon (CsH2I,O)s, in the flask. To the latter add 50 cc. of boiling water, digest 10 minutes on the steam bath, then filter, wash gradually all the precipitate into a Gooch, using for this purpose and the final washing about 200 cc. of hot water. Dry to constant weight in an air bath at 100°C. Mul- tiply the weight of the precipitate by 0.4654 to obtain the quantity of sodium salicylate present in the aliquot taken. Should the mixture contain caffein or antipyrin, or both, these substances will appear with the acetanilid in the first chloroform extract and may be determined as directed in the closely set type following 10. Should the acetanilid be replaced by acetphenetidin in the mixture, the general procedure would not be materially altered, the acetphenetidin being weighed directly after recovery from its washed chloro- form solution as separated from the sodium salicylate. If, instead of sodium sal- icylate, the mixture contains the free acid or its ammonium salt, add a larger quan- tity of sodium bicarbonate prior to extraction with chloroform to insure the fixation of salicylic acid. In the analysis of a mixture of caffein, acetanilid, sodium salicylate and codein sulphate, the following procedure is recommended: (1) Extraction of caffein, acet- anilid and salicylic acid from the acidified solution; (2) Washing the chloroform solution with aqueous soda solution for the recovery of salicylic acid, preliminary to its treatment with iodin solution; (3) Separation of caffein and acetanilid as directed under 3 and 4; (4),Recovery of codein from the solution of its sulphate after treatment with sodium bicarbonate and chloroform. XXIX] DRUGS 359 CAFFEIN, ACETANILID AND QUININ SULPHATE IN MIXTURES. 91 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE AND SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. Transfer to a separatory funnel one or more average unit doses of the powdered sample, add 20 cc. of water and 50 cc. of chloroform, then 10 drops of dilute sulphuric acid and extract in the usual way. After clearing, wash the solvent in a second separatory funnel with 5 cc. of water prior to transferring to a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Repeat the foregoing operations with two 50 cc. portions of chloroform, finally distilling the combined chloroform solution to about 10 ec. by gentle heat. 22 CAFFEIN AND ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE. Treat the chloroform residue obtained in 21 as directed under 3 and 4. 23 QUININ SULPHATE.—TENTATIVE. Combine the wash water, used in the second separatory funnel in 21, with the solution of quinin bisulphate, add a slight excess of solid sodium bicarbonate, ex- tract with three 50 ec. portions of chloroform, wash each portion with 5 cc. of water in a second separatory funnel and then pass through a dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlen- meyer flask. Distil by gentle heat to about 5 cc., evaporate on a steam bath to apparent dryness, dissolve the amorphous alkaloid in 5 cc. of neutral alcohol and titrate with N/50 hydrochloric acid to a faint red, using 2 drops of methyl red as an indicator. Heat on a steam bath until most of the alcohol has been expelled, adding, if necessary, sufficient acid to maintain the acid reaction. From the total number of cc. of acid employed in the titration calculate the quinin sulphate. One ec. of N/50 hydrochloric acid is equivalent to 8.73 mg. of quinin sulphate. If the mixture contains acetphenetidin in place of acetanilid, proceed as out- lined above, except that the separation of caffein and ac etphenetidin i is conducted as directed under 6 and 7. CAFFEIN, ACETANILID AND CODEIN SULPHATE IN MIXTURES. 24 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE AND SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 21. 25 CAFFEIN AND ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 22. 26 CODEIN SULPHATE.—TENTATIVE. Proceed as directed under 23 to the point indicated by the sentence ‘‘Distil by gentle heat to about 5 cc.”’. Transfer the chloroform solution of codein with suffi- cient solvent to a small, tared beaker, evaporate to apparent dryness on a steam bath, add a few drops of alcohol to the amorphous residue, then a like amount of water and evaporate again. Finally cool and allow the usually crystalline product to stand until the weight becomes constant. The weight of this residue multiplied by 1.3144 gives the quantity of codein sulphate present. This result should be checked volumetrically. Dissolve the residue in 3-5 cc. of neutral alcohol and titrate with N/50 sulphuric acid to a faint red, using methyl red as an indicator. From the number of cc. of standard acid employed calculate the amount of codein sulphate. One cc. of N/50 sulphuric acid is equivalent to 7.87 mg. of codein sulphate. The quantity of codein sulphate as found by weight will usually be slightly greater than that determined by titration. 360 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. CAFFEIN, ACETANILID, QUININ SULPHATE AND MORPHIN SULPHATE IN MIXTURES. 27 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE AND SOLUTION.—TENTATIVE. Transfer to a separatory funnel an amount (containing not less than one fourth grain of morphin) of the powdered sample equal to, or a multiple of, a unit dose, add 20 cc. of water and 10 drops of dilute sulphuric acid, then extract with three 50 ec. portions of alcohol-free chloroform, wash each portion in a second separatory funnel with 5 cc. of water and add the combined washings to the alkaloidal solu- tion in the first separatory funnel. Filter the chloroform extracts through a small, dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask and distil by gentle heat to about 10 cc. 28 CAFFEIN AND ACETANILID.—TENTATIVE. Treat the chloroform residue as directed under 3 and 4. 29 QUININ SULPHATE.—-TENTATIVE. Add to the solution of quinin and morphin sulphates, obtained in 27, 4-5 cc. of sodium hydroxid solution (1 to 10) and extract with four 40 cc. portions of chloro- form, wash each portion with 5 cc. of water and pass the clear solvent through a small, dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Remove the solvent by gentle distillation and titrate the residual quinin with N/50 hydrochloric acid as directed under 23. 30 MORPHIN SULPHATE.—TENTATIVE. Wash the filter, employed in 29, with 5 cc. of water and add to the aqueous alkaline solution of the alkaloid. Now add 0.5 gram of ammonium chlorid (or an amount slightly in excess of that required to free the morphin as well as convert all sodium hydroxid to sodium chlorid) and, to the resulting ammoniacal solution, add 45 cc. of chloroform and 5 cc. of alcohol, then extract in the usual way, washing the solvent in a second separatory funnel with 5 ce. of water. After clearing, pass the chloroform through a small, dry filter into a 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flask. Repeat the extraction with three 40 cc. portions of chloroform, washing and filtering as be- fore, finally collecting all the solvent in an Erlenmeyer flask and distilling to about 10 cc. Transfer with chloroform to a small, tared beaker, evaporate to apparent dryness, add 0.5 cc. each of water and neutral alcohol, start crystallization by stirring with a glass rod and finally evaporate to dryness. Cool and allow to stand until the weight becomes constant. Check the weight of morphin, thus determined, by titration with N/50 sulphuric acid, using a drop of methyl red as an indicator. Dissolve the alkaloid in 1-2 ce. of warm, neutral alcohol, then add the standard acid to a faint red. Evaporate most of the alcohol on a steam bath, adding, if necessary, sufficient acid to main- tain the acid reaction. From the volume of acid used calculate the morphin sul- phate. One cc. of N/50 sulphuric acid is equivalent to 7.58 mg. of morphin sulphate. TRAGACANTH. 31 VOLATILE ACIDITY®.—TENTATIVE. The quantity of volatile (acetic) acidity developed in the acid hydrolysis of gum tragacanth (Astragalus gummifer) affords a valuable index of the purity of this com- modity when compared with results obtained by similar treatment of so-called “Indian gum’”’ (Cochlospernum gossypium and Siterculia urens). The term ‘‘vola- tile acidity’’ expresses the number of cc. of N/10 potassium or sodium hydroxid required to neutralize the volatile (acetic) acid obtained by distilling with steam the products of the action of boiling aqueous phosphoric acid on 1 gram of the gum. XXTX] DRUGS 361 Treat 1 gram of the whole or powdered sample in a 700 cc. round-bottomed, long- necked flask for several hours in the cold with 100 cc. of water and 5 cc. of sirupy phosphoric acid until the gum is completely swollen. Boil gently for 2 hours under a reflux condenser. A very small amount of cellulose substance will remain undis- solved. Now distil the hydrolyzed product with steam, using a spray trap’ to con- nect the distillation flask with the condenser and continue until the distillate amounts to 600 cc. and the acid residue to about 20 cc. Do not concentrate too far, as this would scorch the non-volatile, organic decomposition products and possibly contaminate the distillate. Titrate the distillate with N/10 potassium hydroxid, using 10 drops of phenolphthalein as an indicator, finally boiling the liquid under examination until a faint pink color remains. Correct the result by a blank de- termination and express the final result in terms of the number of cc. of N/10 alkali required, as in the above definition. While tragacanth yields a practically colorless solution when boiled with aqueous phosphoric acid, Indian gum, on the other hand, gives a pink or rose solution. This reaction may be used as a preliminary test for the detection of Indian gum. LEVANT WORMSEED. 32 SANTONIN.—TENTATIVE. Extract 10 grams of the sample, ground to pass a 30 mesh sieve, in a Soxhlet ex- traction apparatus for 3 hours with chloroform. Distil off the chloroform until 7-8 cc. remain; add 100 cc. of 5% barium hydroxid solution and heat on a steam bath until the odor of chloroform has disappeared. Boil 5 minutes, cool and pass carbon dioxid (washed through sodium bicarbonate solution to remove traces of acid) until saturated. Filter on a small Buchner funnel, using suction, and wash twice with 10 cc. of water. Heat the filtrate on a steam bath, add 5 ec. of 25% hydrochloric acid and warm 5 minutes. Cool until lukewarm and extract with 20, 15 and 15 cc. of chloroform, passing the solvent through a small filter into a flask. Evaporate to dryness, removing the last traces of chloroform. Dissolve in 7.5 grams (9.5 cc.) of absolute alcohol, warming gently if necessary. Then add 42.5 cc. of water heated to 60°-70°C., stopper the flask and allow to cool. Start crystal- lization at this point by scratching the side of the flask with a rod or by seeding with a minute crystal of santonin. (Solutions containing a liberal amount of santonin, kept in a cool place for 24 hours, have been found in a supersaturated condition where this precaution was not observed.) Maintain the flask and contents at a temperature of 15°-17°C. for 24 hours. Filter and wash at 15°-17°C. with two 10 ce. portions of 15% alcohol by weight. Dry the flask and filter at 100°C., dis- solve the santonin left in the flask and on the filter in chloroform and filter into a tared beaker. Wash the flask and paper thoroughly with chloroform, evaporate the combined filtrate and washings, dry at 100°C. to remove all traces of chloroform and weigh. To the weight found add 0.04 gram for the santonin dissolved in the dilute alcohol and multiply the total by 10 to obtain the per cent of santonin. NITROGLYCERIN IN TABLETS. 33 PREPARATION OF SAMPLE.—TENTATIVE. (a) Crush 25 tablets under 10 cc. of anhydrous ether in a 25 cc. cylinder by means of a stout glass rod. Rinse the rod with a little anhydrous ether, allow the insoluble material to settle and decant the solution into a 50 cc. graduated flask. Wash the residue repeatedly with 5 ce. portions of anhydrous ether, decant the washings into the flask until it is filled to the mark, stopper and mix well. Designate this solution as A. 362 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. Add 10 ce. of water to the residue, mix well and transfer the mixture to a small separatory funnel by means of a little water. Extract with 3 successive portions of 10, 5 and 5 ec. of ether. Collect the ether extracts in a 50 cc. beaker and designate this solution as B. (b) Disintegrate 25 tablets in a small beaker with 10 cc. of water, breaking up any lumps with a glass rod, and transfer by means of a little water to a sepa- ratory funnel. Rinse the beaker with 10 ce. of ether and transfer this also to the funnel. Shake thoroughly, draw off the aqueous layer and transfer the ether through a funnel, containing a little cotton, to a 50 cc. graduated flask. Repeat the extraction with successive portions of ether until the flask is filled to the mark, stopper and mix well. Designate this solution as C. In hand-made and soft compressed tablets, the method described under (a) is preferred, since the direct extraction of the dry crushed material with ether re- moves most of the nitroglycerin. In hard compressed tablets, the direct extraction is often not nearly so complete and, in such cases, the method described under (b) is to be preferred. Nitrate Method?.—Tentative. 34 REAGENTS. (A) Phenoldisulphonic acid solution.—Prepare as directed under IV, 14 (a). (b) Standard nitrate solution.—Dissolve 0.7217 gram of potassium nitrate in 1 liter of water. Evaporate 10 cc. of this solution just to dryness in a porcelain dish on a steam bath. Cool and treat the residue with 2 cc. of the phenoldisulphonic acid solution, rubbing with a glass rod to insure intimate contact. After 5-10 min- utes dilute to 250 ce. Each cc. of this solution contains 0.004 mg. of nitrogen. Add an excess of potassium hydroxid solution to an aliquot of this solution and dilute to 100 ce. (Do not use sodium or ammonium hydroxid.) It is advisable to pre- pare a standard of approximately the same color as the unknown. 35 DETERMINATION. Place 20 ce. of the ether solution, A or C under 33, in a dried, tared 50 cc. beaker. Evaporate the solvent in a vacuum desiccator containing sulphuric acid. Apply the vacuum gradually, to prevent boiling. Allow the beaker to remain in the vacuum 30 minutes after the ether has evaporated. Weigh and calculate the ether extract per tablet. Treat the residue with 2 cc. of the phenoldisulphonic acid solu- tion, rotating the beaker so that the reagent comes in contact with the entire inner surface. After 10 minutes add water and wash into a 100 ce. flask. Dilute to the mark and place 10 cc., representing 1 tablet, in a 100 cc. flask, add about 50 cc. of water and a few drops more of 20% potassium hydroxid solution than is required to neutralize the acid. Dilute to the mark and compare the color with that pro- duced when a standard nitrate solution is similarly treated. Any convenient col- orimeter or Nessler tubes may be used. Multiply the nitrate nitrogen found by 5.4 to obtain the equivalent of nitroglycerin. When 33 (a) is used for the preparation of the sample, a correction, deter- mined as directed in 37, should be made for the amount of nitroglycerin in B under 33, using all of B instead of an aliquot. Nitrite or Modified Hay Method®.—Tentative. ° 36 REAGENTS. (a) Sulphanilic acid solution.—Prepare as directed under IV, 12 (b).

XXIX] DRUGS . 363 (C) Standard nitrite solution.—Weigh out 0.220 gram of dry silver nitrite [XV, 18 (c)], dissolve in a small quantity of hot water and decompose with a slight ex- cess of sodium chlorid solution. When the solution becomes clear, dilute to 1 liter with nitrite-free water. Dilute 5 cc. of this solution to 1 liter with nitrite-free water. The second dilution, containing 0.0001 mg. of nitrous nitrogen per cc., is the stand- ard to be used. [Cf. IV, 12 (d)] 37 DETERMINATION. Place 5 cc. of the ether solution, A or C under 33, in a 50 cc. beaker dilute with 5-10 cc. of alcohol and add about 5 cc. of 0.5% alcoholic potassium hy- droxid. Cover with a watch glass and allow to stand 10 minutes. Place on a steam bath, boil, remove the watch glass and, when most of the liquid has evaporated, add about 25 cc. of water and return to the steam bath until about half the liquid has evaporated or until the odor of alcohol can no longer be detected. Cool and dilute with nitrite-free water to 250 cc. Each ce. of this solution represents 0.01 of a tablet. Introduce an aliquot, representing 0.02-0.04 mg. of nitroglycerin, into a 100 cc. graduated flask, dilute with sufficient nitrite-free water to make the volume 90-95 cc., add a drop of concentrated hydrochloric acid, then 2 cc. of the sulphanilic acid solution and 2 ce. of the alpha-naphthylamin hydrochlorid solution. Com- plete the volume with nitrite-free water. Prepare at the same time and in the same manner standards containing known amounts of sodium nitrite. Stopper the flasks, mix well and compare the colors after 30 minutes, using any convenient colorimeter or Nessler tubes. Multiply the nitrite nitrogen found by the factor 8, which has been determined experimentally, to obtain the equivalent of nitroglycerin. When 33 (a) is used for the preparation of the sample, a correction, deter- mined as directed above, should be made for the amount of nitroglycerin in B under 33, using all of B instead of an aliquot. PEPSIN IN LIQUIDS.—TENTATIVE. 38 REAGENTS. (a) Standard pepsin.—Powder a good grade of U.S. P. pepsin and pass it through a No. 60 sieve; dry in vacuo over calcium chlorid, again pass through a sieve and preserve in a stoppered bottle. Ascertain the exact pepsin equivalent of the dry powder by the U. S. P. method'® and express in percentage based on the assumption that the U. S. P. product is 100% pure. (b) Standard pepsin solutions.—Weigh off definite amounts of the standard pep- sin into the requisite quantity of N/10 hydrochloric acid to make solutions con- taining 5 and 0.5 mg. of pepsin per cc. These should be freshly prepared. (C) Ricin solution.—Grind commercial ricin, similar to the ‘‘Ricin Prepirat nach Jacoby’’, to a No. 60 powder, mix thoroughly, dry and keep in a desiccator. Digest 1 gram of this powder for an hour at 37.5°C. in 100 ec. of 5% sodium chlorid solution, cool, filter and use at once for the assay. 39 PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS. (a) Dilute solution of the sample.—Dilute the sample with a measured amount of N/10 hydrochloric acid until, upon digestion at 37.5°C., 1 ce. requires approximately 15 minutes to digest the precipitate obtained by mixing 2 cc. of the ricin solution and 0.5 ce. of N/10 hydrochloric acid. To 50 ce. of this diluted preparation add the requisite quantity of water or of N/5 hydrochloric acid to make the preparation of N/10 acid strength when diluted with N/10 acid to 90 ce. Preserve the sample in 364 METHODS OF ANALYSIS [Chap. a refrigerator. (Solid pepsin preparations may often be extracted with hydro- chloric acid of appropriate strength and prepared for assay in the same manner.) (b) Dilute comparison solution of the sample.—Add 1 cc. of N/10 hydrochloric acid to 9 cc. of the dilute solution of the sample. (C) Dilute inactive solution of the sample.—Immerse a stoppered glass vessel, con- taining 45 cc. of the dilute solution of the sample and 5 cc. of N/10 hydrochlorie acid, in boiling water for 15 minutes and filter. (d) Standard solution containing 0.6 mg. of active U. S. P. pepsin per cc.—Im- merse a stoppered test tube containing 18 cc. of the dilute solution of the sample in boiling water for 10 minutes and, after cooling, add 2 cc. of the standard pepsin solution, containing 5 mg. of pepsin per cc., and filter if necessary. If the solutions to be tested are not clear, filter through hardened filters. If, however, they cannot thus be clarified, make check comparison tubes containing the same amounts of the preparation made up in the same way with 2 cc. of water in place of the ricin solution used in the determination. 40 DETERMINATION. To each of 15 tubes, add from a burette 2 cc. of the ricin solution and 0.5 cc. of N/10 hydrochloric acid, heat to 37.5°C. and add the following quantities of the solutions: To the first 5 tubes, add 0.00-1.00 cc. of the dilute comparison solution of the sample in 0.25 cc. increments, and 1.00-0.00 ce. of the dilute inactive solution of the sample in 0.25 ec. decrements. To the next 5 tubes, add 1.00-0.00 cc. of the dilute inactive solution of the sample in 0.25 ec. decrements and 0.00-1.00 cc. of the standard solution containing 0.5 mg. of active U. S. P. pepsin per cc. in 0.25 ce. increments. To the last 5 tubes, add 1.00-0.00 cc. of N/10 hydrochloric acid in 0.25 ce. decrements and 0.00-1.00 cc. of the standard pepsin solution containing 0.5 mg. of pepsin per ce. in 0.25 cc. increments. By comparing any tube of the first group of 5 with the tubes in the remaining groups the degree of proteolytic activity of the dilute comparison solution of the sample may be matched against known amounts of standard pepsin both in ordi- nary acid medium, last group of 5, and in the same medium as the sample itself, second group. Introduce the acid and the dilute inactive solution of the sample into the tubes first and then pour in the solutions to be tested as rapidly as possible from gradu- ated pipettes, noting the total time consumed in the process after adding the pepsin. After the addition of the solution to be tested, again immerse the test tubes in the 37.5°C. bath, preferably arranged in corresponding order in a partitioned square or oblong wire rack, such as is used in bacteriological work. Shake and examine the tubes from time to time for 1-2 hours, noting the time when the digestion begins and ends. In case of very weak solutions they may be allowed to digest over- night. If the rate of digestion is the same in each group, the dilute comparison solution of the sample contains exactly 0.5 mg. of pepsin per cc. If the rate ismore rapid in the first group than in the others, it is stronger, the comparative strength being closely indicated by the time of action in the tube containing less of the solution. If the rate of clearing is more rapid in the last group than in the second, some in- terfering substance is present and must be removed by dialysis, or by evaporation in vacuo at a low temperature until, upon re-examination and further dilution or concentration, the rate of digestion is identical or nearly so in each series. Smaller quantities of pepsin may be determined in the same way by comparing XXIX] DRUGS 365 them with more dilute solutions of standard pepsin. Thus 0.05 mg. of U. S. P. pepsin can be readily detected by the nearly complete solvent action on the ricin precipitate in less than 2 hours. A marked action on the ricin within the same time is shown by 0.005 mg. For all practical purposes the absence of an appreciable sol- vent action after 4 hours digestion indicates the absence of pepsin. Express the re- sult in per cent, assuming U. S. P. pepsin to be 100% pure and calculating the result according to the dilution found necessary in preparing the dilute solution of the sample. TURPENTINE. 41 COLOR.—TENTATIVE. Fill a 200 cc. flat-bottomed colorimeter tube, graduated in mm., to a depth of 40-50 mm. with the turpentine. Place the tube in a colorimeter and place on or under it a No. 2 yellow Lovibond glass. Over or under a second graduated tube in the colorimeter, place a No. 1 yellow Lovibond glass and run in the same turpen- tine until the color matches as nearly as possible the color in the first tube. Read the difference in depth of the turpentine in the 2 tubes. If this difference is 50 mm. or more, the turpentine is ‘‘standard’’. 42 SPECIFIC GRAVITY.--TENTATIVE. Determine the specific gravity at ae: by means of a pycnometer. The specific gravity may also be determined somewhat less accurately at any convenient tem- perature with a plummet, correcting the result by using the factor 0.00082 for each degree that the temperature of the determination differs from the standard tem- perature. 43 REFRACTIVE INDEX.—TENTATIVE. Determine the refractive index at any convenient temperature with an accurate instrument and calculate the result to 20°C., using the correction factor 0.00045 for each degree that the temperature of the determination differs from 20°C. 44 DISTILLATION.—TENTATIVE. Use an ordinary Engler flask (the internal diameter of the side tube must be 6-7 mm.) and condenser! and heat the flask in a glycerin or oil bath'*. Fit the flask with a thermometer reading 145°-200°C. Place 100 cc. of the turpentine in the flask, connect with the condenser and distil. Conduct the distillation so that the distillate passes over at the rate of 2 drops per second. Note the initial distilling temperature and the percentage distilling below 170°C. POLYMERIZATION.—TENTATIVE. 45 REAGENT. 38N sulphuric acid.—Mix 140 grams of concentrated sulphuric acid with sufficient liquid, fuming sulphuric acid (about 10 grams) to obtain an acid slightly stronger than 88N. Determine the exact strength of this mixture and also of the concen- trated acid as follows: Weigh out 6-8 grams in a bulb, having a capillary tube in the lower end and a tube with a stop-cock in the upper end, fitted with a p!atinum wire for suspending on a balance. (The bulb is filled by the aid of a slight vacuum, and the lower end of the capillary is emptied by closing the stop-cock simultaneously with the withdrawal of the capillary from the acid; after which it is wiped off first with a wet and then with a dry piece of cloth.) Run the acid into cold water, make up to volume and titrate an aliquot of the solution against standard alkali or add an 366 METHODS OF ANALYSIS excess of ammonium hydroxid to an aliquot, evaporate to dryness, dry to constant weight at 120°-130°C. and weigh as ammonium sulphate. Calculate the sulphur trioxid content of the acid and add sufficient concentrated sulphuric acid to make it exactly 82.38% of SO3. The acid must be carefully protected against absorption of water from the air. 46 DETERMINATION. Place 20 ec. of the 38N sulphuric acid (100.92%) in a graduated, narrow-necked Babcock flask, stopper, place in ice water and cool. Add slowly 5 ce. of the turpen- tine. Mix the contents gradually, cool from time to time and do not allow the tem- perature to rise above 60°C. When the mixture no longer warms up on shaking, agi- tate thoroughly, place in a water bath and heat to 60°-65°C. for about 10 minutes, keeping the contents of the flask thoroughly mixed by vigorous shaking 5-6 times. Cool to room temperature and fill the flask with concentrated sulphuric acid until the unpolymerized oil rises into the graduated neck. Centrifugalize 4-5 minutes at about 1200 revolutions per minute, or allow to stand for 12 hours. Read the un- polymerized residue, notice its consistency and color and determine its refractive index. ‘ BIBLIOGRAPHY. 1U. 8. Bur. Chem. Bull. 152, p. 239. 2 J. Ind. Eng.
