Title: Salt content (NaCl) of meat products

Summary: Determination of chloride in meat products by potentiometric titration


with silver nitrate using the Ag Titrode.

Sample: Meat products (ham, dried meat, sausages, fish etc.)

Sample
Preparation: Cut up the sample into small pieces. Weigh about 10 g sample (pre-
cision 1 mg) into a mixer. Add 190 g dist. water and mix for 1 ... 2
min.

Instruments and
Accessories: 702, 716 or 736 Titrino or 726 Titroprocessor,
6.0430.100 Ag Titrode

Analysis: Weigh 50 g homogenisate into a beaker, add 50 mL dist. water and


2 mL c(HNO3) = 2 mol/L and titrate with c(AgNO3) = 0.1 mol/L.

Calculation: % NaCl = EP1 * C01 * C02 * C03 / C00

EP1 = titrant consumption in mL


C00 = ca. 2.5 (g of original sample contained in the sample volume
used for the titration)
C01 = 0.1 (concentration of the titrant in mol/L)
C02 = 58.44 (M(NaCl) in g/mol)
C03 = 0.1 (conversion factor for %)

Remarks: For samples containing more than 4.5 % NaCl, a smaller aliquot of
the homogenisate has to be used for the analysis.
