What is ISO 16634-2 - Nitrogen content in cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products about?
ISO 16634 is an international standard on the determination of the total nitrogen content by combustion according to the Dumas principle and calculation of the crude protein content in food products. ISO 16634-2 provides the best industry guidance on the cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products to improve their quality and ensure reduction in severe health issues due to consumption of nitrogen content.
ISO 16634-2 is the second part of the multi-part series that specifies a method for the determination of the total nitrogen content and the calculation of the crude protein content of cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products.
Note: Under ISO 16634-2, the Kjeldahl method, does not distinguish between protein nitrogen and non-protein nitrogen.
Who is ISO 16634-2 - Nitrogen content in cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products for?
ISO 16634-2 on the nitrogen content in cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use ISO 16634-2 - Nitrogen content in cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products?
Elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause damage to the human respiratory tract and increase a person's vulnerability to, and the severity of, respiratory infections and asthma. Long-term exposure to high levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause chronic lung disease.
ISO 16634-2 provides you with apparatus, sampling, preparation to test samples, procedures, detection and data processing, calculation, and expression of results, and much more.
The methods and procedures provided by ISO 16634-2 assist you to detect the nitrogen content in cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products, improve food products quality, and ensure reduction in severe health issues due to consumption of nitrogen content.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 16634-2, you can enhance the efficacy of the cereals, pulses, and milled cereal products and manufacture a standardized product of high quality.
