Foreword
This standard replaces GB 5413.24-2010 "National food safety standard -
Determination of chlorine in foods for infants and young children, milk and milk
products", GB/T 12457-2008 "Determination of sodium chloride in foods", GB/T
15667-1995 "Fruits, vegetables and their products - Determination of chloride
content", GB/T 9695.8-2008 "Meat and meat products - Determination of
chloride content", GB/T 22427.12-2008 "Starches and derived products -
Determination of chloride content", AND the determination of "14.2 Salt" in GB/T
5009.44-2003 "Method for analysis of hygienic standard of meat and meat
products".
This standard will integrate the above standards, with the main modifications
are as follows.
- MODIFY the standard name into "National food safety standard -
Determination of chloride in foods";
- Based on the principle of chloride determination, three methods are
integrated. potentiometric titration method, Volhard method (indirect
precipitation titration method), AND argentometric method (moles method
or direct titration method);
- DELETE the original methods of determination based on food category;
- ADD the sonication procedures.
National food safety standard
Determination of chloride in foods
1 Scope
This standard specifies determination methods of chloride in foods by the
potentiometric titration method, the Volhard method (indirect precipitation
titration method), AND the argentometric method (moles method or direct
titration method).
The potentiometric titration method of this standard is applicable to the
determination of chloride in various types of foods.
The Volhard method (indirect precipitation titration method) and the
argentometric method (the moles or direct titration method) of this standard do
not apply to the determination of chloride in deep-color foods.
Method I. Potentiometric titration method
2 Principles
After the sample was acidified, ADD acetone; USE the glass electrode as the
reference electrode AND the silver electrode as the indicator electrode. USE
the silver nitrate standard titration solution to titrate the chloride in the test
solution. Based on the "jump" of the potential, DETERMINE the titration end
point. Based on the consumption of the silver nitrate standard titration solution,
CALCULATE the chloride content in the food.
3 Reagents and materials
Unless otherwise indicated, the reagents used in this method are of analytical
pure AND the water is level III water as specified in GB/T 6682.
3.1 Reagents
3.3 Reagent preparation
3.3.1 Precipitant I. WEIGH 106 g of potassium ferrocyanide; ADD water to
dissolve it and make its volume reach to 1 L; MIX it uniformly.
3.4.2 Silver nitrate standard titration solution (0.02 mol/L). WEIGH 3.40 g of
silver nitrate (accurate to 0.01 g) into a small beaker; USE a small amount of
nitric acid to dissolve it; TRANSFER it into a 1000 mL brown volumetric flask;
USE water to make it reach to the volume; SHAKE to make it uniform;
3.4.3 Calibration (second derivative method). PIPETTE 10.00 mL of 0.01000
mol/L sodium chloride reference solution into a 50 mL beaker; ADD 0.2 mL of
nitric acid solution and 25 mL of acetone. IMMERSE the glass electrode and
the silver electrode in the solution;
3.4.4 Determination of the titration end point. Based on the titration record
(3.4.3), USE the volume (V') and the potential value (E) of the silver nitrate
standard titration solution in accordance with the example as shown in Table
A.1, to calculate deltaE, deltaV, first derivative and second derivative in the listing
method. OR otherwise USE the potentiometric titrator for automatic titration,
and RECORD the volume and potential values of the silver nitrate standard
titration solution.

nitric acid and 25 mL of acetone. IMMERSE the glass electrode and silver
electrode into the solution; START the electromagnetic stirrer. USE the acid
burette to drip V' mL of silver nitrate standard titration solution (90% of the
required amount); MEASURE the potential value (E) of the solution.
6 Analysis result representation
The chloride content in food is calculated in accordance with the equation (3).
