Determination of chemical properties of meat: Determination of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO-N), trimethylamine (TMA-N), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) by Conway's method
Abstract
Presented in the paper is the determination of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO-N), trimethylamine (TMA-N), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) by Conway's method in fish meat. Specifically, the apparatus and the reagents needed and the analytical procedures and calculations for each methods are presented.
