Determination of trace amounts of nitrites in fabricated nonmeat products.
Low levels of nitrite (1-5 ppm) contributed by raw materials in new fabricated food products were successfully determined by a modification of an AOAC method for processed meats. Recoveries were greater than 90% for composite samples to which 5-10 ppm nitrite had been added. This method allows analyses of fabricated food products containing hydrogenated vegetable oils, soy proteins, and dried egg whites for low levels of nitrite.
