Protein Titration Endpoint

The point in the titration where the solution turns black, indicating the completion of the reaction with bromocresol green indicator.

Catalyst in Kjeldahl Method

The compound that speeds up the digestion of the sample in the Kjeldahl method is ammonium sulfate, (NHâ‚„)â‚‚SOâ‚„.

Titrated Compound in Kjeldahl

The compound that is titrated with hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the Kjeldahl method to determine the amount of nitrogen is ammonia (NH₃).

Equipment Calibration

The equipment that requires calibration before use is the pycnometer and the refractometer.

Degree Brix

Degree Brix (ËšBx) is a measurement of the sugar concentration in a solution. 12% Brix signifies a 12% sugar content by weight. It means there's 12g of sugar per 100g of solution.

Refractive Index

Refractive index (RI or n) measures how much light bends when it passes through a substance. Factors affecting RI include the wavelength of light, temperature, and the concentration of the solution.
