Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of detection kits, and in particular to a nitrite rapid screening kit and a method for using the same. Background Art
[0002] Nitrite (NO2 - ) is a food additive widely used in meat processing. It can inhibit the growth of Clostridium botulinum and thus maintain the surface gloss of meat products. However, excessive intake of nitrite can lead to methemoglobinemia and react with secondary amines to form strong carcinogen nitrosamine compounds, which seriously endanger human life and health. my country's "National Food Safety Standard" sets strict limits for it (such as cured meat products ≤30mg / kg), but some unscrupulous businesses still add nitrite in violation of regulations. Therefore, the development of efficient and accurate nitrite detection technology is of great significance to ensuring food safety.
[0003] At present, the main methods for nitrite detection are spectrophotometry, ion chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, etc. Although the above methods are highly accurate, they have problems such as high equipment cost, complex operation, and poor timeliness. They are difficult to adapt to the needs of grassroots market supervision, self-inspection of food companies, and on-site rapid testing by consumers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.
[0005] To this end, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a nitrite rapid screening kit and a method for using the same, which has the characteristics of high sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability and simple operation.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a nitrite rapid screening kit, which contains a reagent bottle A, a reagent bottle B, a centrifuge tube and a color scale card, wherein the reagent bottle A contains a p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid solution, and the reagent bottle B contains a naphthylethylenediamine hydrochloride aqueous solution.
[0007] Furthermore, the p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid solution is 0.15-0.3 g of p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid dissolved in 100 ml of hydrochloric acid buffer with a pH value of 4-5; the naphthylethylenediamine hydrochloride aqueous solution is 0.15-0.3 g of naphthylethylenediamine hydrochloride dissolved in 100 ml of aqueous solution.
[0008] Furthermore, the capacity of the centrifuge tube is 1.5 to 2 ml, and the number of the reagent bottle A, reagent bottle B, centrifuge tube and color scale card is 50 to 100.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for using a nitrite rapid screening kit, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
[0010] S1. Sample preparation: Weigh and chop the sample, add 5 to 15 times the sample volume of purified water, shake thoroughly, let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes, take the supernatant as the sample solution, and dilute it;
[0011] S2. Sample test: Take a centrifuge tube and add 1 to 3 drops of reagent A in the reagent bottle, add 1 ml of the sample solution to be tested; add 1 to 3 drops of reagent B in the reagent bottle, shake well, and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes;
[0012] S3. Interpretation of results: Observe the color change of the liquid in the centrifuge tube, compare the color with the color scale card, and obtain the reading. Multiply the reading by the dilution factor to obtain the nitrite content in the sample to be tested. The dilution factor is the ratio of the original concentration of the sample to be tested to the concentration after dilution.
[0013] Furthermore, after S1 is allowed to stand, it is filtered or centrifuged. If the color after color development in S3 is very dark and a precipitate is produced, or if color develops immediately upon addition of reagent B but quickly fades to light yellow, indicating that the nitrite content in the sample is very high, the sample solution in S1 should be diluted more and retested.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The present invention diazotizes nitrite with aminobenzenesulfonic acid under weakly acidic conditions to generate a diazonium salt, which is then coupled with naphthylethylenediamine hydrochloride to form a purple-red azo compound, wherein the color depth is proportional to the nitrite concentration. Finally, semi-quantitative analysis is achieved through color scale card comparison. The present invention can effectively improve sensitivity, enhance anti-interference ability, and greatly improve operational convenience and wide application.
[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description which follows, or may be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
