This standard supersedes GB/T 5413.20-1997 "Milk Powder and Formula Foods for Infant and Young Children — Determination of Choline". Compared with GB/T 5413.20-1997, the main changes in this standard are as follows:
— The standard name was modified;
— Developer composition used for enzyme reaction was modified;
— Method II Reinecke's Salt Spectrophotometry was added.
National Food Safety Standard —
Foods and Milk Products for Infant and Young Children — Determination of Choline
1 Scope
This standard specifies the method for determination of choline in foods and milk products for infants and young children. This standard is applicable to the determination of choline in foods and milk products for infants and young children.
Method 1: Enzyme-colorimetric Method
2 Principle
Choline in the sample will be change into free form after acid hydrolysis, then after enzymatic oxidation and react with developer to produce coloring matter, which of the colour concentration within a certain range is proportional to the content of choline.

5 Analytical Procedures
5.1 Sample preparation
5.1.1 Solid sample
Weigh 5 g (to the accuracy of 0.01 g) well-mixed sample in a 100mL conical flask, and add 30 mL hydrochloric acid solution (3.2.1).
5.1.2 Liquor sample
Weigh 20 g (to the accuracy of 0.01 g) well-mixed sample in a 100mL conical flask, and add 10 mL hydrochloric acid solution (3.2.2).
5.1.3 Hydrolization
Place the vessel filled with sample into 70℃ water bath, cover it and mix uniformly. Hydrolyzing for 3 h (shake it at intervals of 30 min), cool down. Calibrate the pH value as 3.5 to 4.0 with sodium hydroxide solution, and then transfer to a 50mL volumetric flask and dilute to the scale with distilled water.
5.1.4 Filtration
Filter hydrolysate (5.1.3). The filtered solution shall be clear, otherwise re-filter with a 0.45 μm filter membrane. Filtered solution may be stored 3 d in refrigerator at 4℃.
