Scope
Applicable to products having a content, expressed as N, equal to or more than 0.2 mg/kg. Consists in oxidation of nitrous nitrogen to nitric nitrogen by potassium permanganate and reaction of nitrogen(V) with 3, 4-xylenol under specified conditions to form a nitrate derivative. Subsequent destillation of the nitrate derivative and absorption in sodium hydroxide solution. Spectrophotometric measurement of the yellow nitrophenol at a wavelength of about 435 nm.
