This standard specifies determination method of folates in foods.
This standard is applicable to determination of folates in foods.
2 Principle
Folate is a necessary nutrient for growth of Lactobacillus casei spp.rhamnosus (ATCC 7469). Under certain control condition, inoculate Lactobacillus casei spp.rhamnosus in culture solution containing sample solution; after a certain period of cultivation , determine light transmittance (or absorbance); then calculate the content of folate in the sample according to the standard curve of folate content and light transmittance (or absorbance).
3 Reagents and Materials
Note: unless otherwise specified, all reactants adopted for this method are analytically pure and water is Grade II water as specified in GB/T 6682.
