thermoscientificAPPLICATION NOTE 42242 Nitrogen/Protein determination in dairy productsusing the Thermo Scientific FlashSmartElemental Analyzer Authors Dr. Liliana Krotz andDr. Guido GiazziThermo Fisher Scientific, Milan,Italy Keywords Cheese, Combustion, Dairy Products, Dumas Method, Food Quality, Labeling, Milk, Milk Powder, Nitrogen, Protein Goal Demonstrate the performanceof the Thermo ScientificFlashSmart Elemental Analyzerfor food quality and labelingpurposes, while showingcompliance to internationalstandards requirements. The determination of Nitrogen/Protein for food quality control and R&Dpurposes is very important in the dairy industry. Food market globalizationdemands that accurate quality control of product characteristics is carriedout, in order to protect commercial value, to safeguard consumer healthand manufacturer reputation. Official regulations establish protein contentand labeling requirements which enable consumers to compare price andquality. For this reason the use of accurate instrumental analytical techniquesavoiding the use of toxic chemicals is required, and an alternative to theclassical Kjeldahl method, based on the Dumas (combustion) method, hasbeen developed and approved by different associations. The Thermo Scientific FlashSmart"Elemental Analzyer(Figure 1) requires no sample digestion or toxicchemicals, while providing important advantages in termsof time, automation and quantitative determination ofnitrogen in a large range of concentrations. Figure 1. Thermo Scientific FlashSmart N/Protein Analyzer. Method The Elemental Analyzer operates according to thedynamic flash combustion of the sample. Samplesare weighed in tin containers and introduced into thecombustion reactor via the Thermo ScientificMASPlus Autosampler with oxygen. After combustion, theproduced gases are carried by a helium flow to a secondreactor filled with copper, then swept through Co, andH,O traps, a GC column and finally detected by a thermalconductivity detector (Figure 2). A complete report is generated by the Thermo ScientificTMEagerSmart Data Handling Software and displayed atthe end of the analysis. From the nitrogen data obtained,the dedicated software allows the automatic calculationof the protein content. Figure 2. FlashSmart N/Protein configuration. Analytical Conditions Left Furnace Temperature 950°C Right Furnace Temperature 840°C Oven Temperature 50°C Carrier Flow 140 mL/min Reference Flow 100 mL/min Standard Aspartic acid (10.52N%) Note: The oxygen amount necessary for the completecombustion of samples is calculatedautomatically by the OxyTune function present in the Thermo Scientific EagerSmart Data HandlingSoftware. Results Dairy samples were selected representing different typeand nitrogen content. The data obtained demonstratesno-matrix effect in the determination of nitrogen,indicating complete combustion for all types of samples.The calibration was performed with 50-100 mg ofaspartic acid (10.52 N%); and K factor was used as thecalibration method. The protein factor used to calculatethe protein content through the nitrogen value was 6.38. Table 1 shows the N/Protein data obtained from aUHT milk reference material (ultra high temperatureprocessing, at about 135℃) from Ceca Lait (CentreD'Etude et de Controle des Analyses en IndustrieLaitiere), the certified value was 0.5298 N%, an averageof the results from five laboratories using the Kjeldahlmethod. Table 2 shows the N/Protein data obtained indifferent liquid milk samples, raw and thermally treatedaccording to different procedures, analyzed in duplicateand compared to the Kjeldahl data. Liquid milk sampleswere weighed in tin containers adsorbed on the inertmaterial Chromosorb. Table 3 shows the N/Protein dataobtained of different milk powder samples analyzed fivetimes and the compared to the Kjeldahl data. Sampleswere weighed at 200-250 mg.

Thevolume injected was 80-125 ul. As a standard glycinewater solution was prepared, and K factor was thecalibration method. The formula used for the calculationof the fractions is: Determination of Non Proteic Nitrogen (NPN): Theacidification of the sample with trichloroacetic acid(60% conc.) produces the complete precipitationof both the serum and the caseinic fractions. Aftercentrifugation, the analysis of the liquid fraction permitsthe determination of the contribution of the non proteicfraction. Determination of Non Caseine Nitrogen (NCN): Theacidification of another aliquote of the same sampleproduces the complete precipitation of the caseinefraction, after centrifugation, the determination ofNitrogen permits the measurement ot the sum of theNPN and the Serum protein contributions. Finally, the concentration of Nitrogen in the Serumfraction is calculated by substraction of the two results: Table 8 shows the nitrogen data in soluble protein ofdairy products while Table 9 shows the nitrogen data ofdifferent cheese and the related fractions.

This indicates thecomplete and accurate detection of the nitrogen present. As a complete automatic system, the FlashSmart EAis able to analyze nitrogen in a wide range from low tohigh content, solid and liquid samples without the useof sample digestion or the toxic chemicals applied intraditional methods. The Dumas Combustion method has been approvedand adopted by Official Organizations as ASBC,AOAC, AACC, AOCS, ISO and IDF (International DairyFederation) Standard.
