Abstract
The interference by natural constituents of fruit and vegetables and Sn (present in canned products) in the 1-naphthyl amine method for detn. of nitrates/nitrites was studied. Tables and graphs of results are given. Dissolved Sn was removed by passing clarified extracts of canned fruit and vegetable products through a cation exchange resin column leaving less than 50% Sn in the undissolved form. Nitrate recovery was approx. 96% compared with 9-15% for samples before passing through the column. Fe and organic acids did not interfere in the estimation of nitrates and nitrites. Treatment of extracts containing ascorbic acid with CuSO4 and warming to 80 degree C quantitatively removed most of the inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid. Recovery was 99% compared with 21% for samples without this treatment. Nitrates/nitrites recovery from tomato paste (a typical product which interferes in the estimation) was 95% after treatment with activated charcoal compared with 33% for samples before treatment.
