GB 5009.36-2023 National food safety standard - Determination of cyanide in food 1 Scope This standard specifies methods for determination of cyanide in foods. Method I Spectrophotometry is applicable to the determination of cyanide in distilled alcoholic drinks and its integrated alcoholic drinks, edible alcohols, cassava powder, packaged drinking water and mineral water. Method II Gas chromatography (GC) and Method III Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are applicable to the determination of cyanide in Baijiu, edible alcohols, grains, packaged drinking water and mineral water. Method IV Ion chromatography (IC) is applicable to the determination of cyanide in distilled alcoholic drinks and its integrated alcoholic drinks, edible alcohol, packaged drinking water, mineral water and almond-based beverages. Method V Flow injection (FI)/sequential injection (SI) -spectrophotometry is applicable to the determination of cyanide in distilled alcoholic drinks and its integrated alcoholic drinks, edible alcohols, packaged drinking water and mineral water. Method I Spectrophotometry 2 Principle The specimens are either heated under alkaline conditions to remove organics with high-boiling points or heated and distilled under acidic conditions. After being dissolved or absorbed by sodium hydroxide solution, cyanide is converted into cyanogen chloride with chloramine-T at pH = 7.0, and then reacted with isonicotinic acid-pyrazolone to generate a blue color, and finally quantified by comparison with the standard series. 3 Reagents and materials Unless otherwise specified, analytical-grade reagents and Grade III water as specified in GB/T 6682 are used for the purpose of this method. 3.1 Reagents 3.1.1 Absolute ethanol(C2H6O). 3.1.2 Zinc acetate (C4H6O4Zn). 3.1.3 Tartaric acid (C4H6O6). 3.1.4 Sodium hydroxide (NaOH). 3.1.5 Monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4). 3.1.6 Disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4). 3.1.7 Glacial acetic acid (C2H4O2): >99.5%. 3.1.8 Isonicotinic acid (C6H5O2N). 3.1.9 Pyrazolone (C10H10N2O). 3.1.10 Chloramine-T (C7H7SO2NClNa·3H2O). 3.1.11 Methyl orange (C14H14O3N3SNa). 3.1.12 Phenolphthalein (C20H14O4). 3.2 Preparation of reagents
