DANSK DS/EN 12014-3 PDF

This European Standard specifies a spectrometric method for the determination of nitrate and nitrite content of
meat products and has been validated for different meat products with a content of 9 mg/kg to 22 mg/kg nitrite
calculated as sodium nitrite and 23 mg/kg to 48 mg/kg nitrate calculated as sodium nitrate.
NOTE Experiences have shown that the method is also applicable for total nitrite and nitrate content from 5 mg/kg up
to 125 mg/kg calculated as sodium nitrite. For further information on applicability, see [1].
