Express analysis full-fat soya
Tuesday, 09 June 2015 08:41Express analysis of full-fat soya extrudate to determine the activity of urease
I. The initial components for preparation of the indicator
1) Phenol red indicator.
2) Chemically pure urea.
3) The standard titer NaOH.
4) Distilled water.
5) Standard titer H2SO4
II. Preparation of the indicator
1) Preparation of 0.1-normal solution of NaOH. To do this, 1 ampoule standard titer NaOH is flown out in flask 1 liter, than the flask is "scrubbed " with distilled water and the volume of the solution is being brought to 1 liter.
2) 210 g of urea dissolved in 370 ml of distilled water, into this solution is flown out 70 ml of 0.1-normal solution of NaOH, also add 1.4 g of phenol red indicator and then fill with 3 liters of distilled water. Solution turns bright red colour.
3) Preparation of 0.1-normal solution of H2SO4. To do this, 1 ampoule of standard titer H2SO4 flown out into a flask 1l, than the flack is \"scrubbed \" with distilled water and the volume of the solution is being brought to 1 liter.
4) 0.1-normal solution of H2SO4 is being flown out into burette.
5) Fill the 25 ml of ready phenol solution in a beaker and titratу 0.1-normal solution of H2SO4 from the burette to the straw-yellow color of the solution.
III. Determination of urease activity
Into Petri dish throw 11 g of soya extrudate and fill with the previously prepared solution of straw-yellow color. Keep for 5 minutes until appear bright red dots:
1) separate dots - the activity of urease 0,05 pH;
2) the dots are of 25% - urease activity 0,1 pH;
3) dots of 50% - urease activity 0,1 - 0,15 pH;
4) dots of 75% - urease activity 0,2 - 0,3 pH.
Note: Regulatory activity of urease pH 0,10-0,20
Shelf life of phenol solution - 15 days.
