2.4.2 Method for determining protein content of cassava starch by Micro – Kjeldahl method: [5]
g. Principle:
When the product is heated and analyzed with concentrated H 2 SO 4 , organic compounds are oxidized. Carbon and Hydrogen form CO 2 and H 2 O. Nitrogen, after being released in the form of NH 3 , combines with H 2 SO 4 to form (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4, which is dissolved in solution. Remove NH 3 from the solution with NaOH, simultaneously decant and collect NH 3 with an excess amount of 0.1N H 2 SO 4 . Titrate 0.1N H 2 SO 4 with standard 0.1N NaOH solution, thereby calculating the amount of Nitrogen in the experimental raw material sample.
h. Experimental equipment:
- Semi-automatic sandblasting machine, Tuû Hotte.
- 50ml Kjeldahl flask.
- Measure 25ml.
- Pipette 2ml; 10ml.
- Erlenmeyer 500ml.
- 100ml measuring cylinder.
- Burette 25 ml.
- Becher 100ml; 250ml.

- 0.1N NaOH solution, 0.1N H 2 SO 4 standard solution .
- Phenolphthalein 1%.
j. Definition:
- Starch is the main component of many roots and seeds.
- Correct determination will help us accurately predict the amount of product obtained as well as losses during the production process.
k. How to proceed:

Sample poem:
- Take the sample and put it in a Kjeldahl flask. Weigh 2g of cassava starch, add 10ml of concentrated H 2 SO 4. To speed up the sample oxidation process, a catalyst must be added. Perchloric acid HClO 4 can be used as a catalyst , releasing CO 2 for the oxidation reaction.
- After adding the catalyst, heat the mixture gently to avoid boiling over and only heat vigorously when the mixture has completely turned into a liquid. During the heating process, shake gently and carefully so that there are no black traces of the undecomposed experimental material sample left on the walls of the flask. Heat until the solution in the flask is completely white.

Sand:
- Transfer the entire sample solution after it has been evaporated in the Kjeldahl flask into a 100ml volumetric flask, add distilled water up to the mark. At this time, the heat released is very strong.
Let the water evaporate partially. Cool and readjust the water level to avoid errors, then pour into the Erlenmeyer flask to easily shake the sample solution evenly.
- Take 10 ml of 0.1N H 2 SO 4 solution into the Erlenmeyer flask and put it into the sandblasting machine. Be careful not to immerse the flask into the liquid.
- Take 10 ml of the test solution from the measuring flask into the reaction vessel. Place it in the ventilation system, being careful not to move it too much, or the gas will escape and contaminate the sample.

Remove the flask from the machine after rinsing with distilled water to remove all the sample stuck on the plate. Add 10 drops of phenolphthalein to the flask and titrate with 0.1N NaOH.
