Excerpt from List of Publications and Patents: July-December 1947, Northern Regional Research Laboratory, Peoria, Illinois Determination OF nitrogen IN vegetable oils By T. A. Mcguire, F. R. Earle, and H. J. Dutton. Jour. Amer. 011 Chem. Soc. 359-361. November 1947. A method for the determination of nitrogen in vegetable oils is described. The procedure is based on concentrating the nitrogenous compounds into an aqueous phase by preliminary acid hydrolysis of a large sample of oil. After separation, the aqueous phase is digested and distilled with ordinary Kjeldahl equipment and the nitrogen determined with Nessler's reagent. With quantities of nitrogen as small as one part per million of oil, reproducibility is within plus or minus 10 percent, while for lesser amounts the method is only semi-quantitative. Data are presented on the nitrogen present in soybean oil after various refining procedures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
