This Standard specifies the method for determining urease activity in food. The first method - Nessler’s reagent colorimetric method is applicable to the qualitative determination of urease activity in beverages containing soybean ingredients, infant formula, infant complementary foods, dairy products, special medical-purpose formula foods, soybean protein peptides and soy products. The second method - titration method is applicable to the quantitative determination of urease activity in soy protein, soya flour and soymilk powder. Method I - Nessler’s Reagent Colorimetric Method2 Principle
Urease is at pH 7.0 and 40 C. Urea is catalyzed and converted into ammonium carbonate. Ammonium carbonate generates ammonium hydroxide under alkaline conditions, which then reacts with potassium iodide-mercuric complex salt in Nessler’s reagent to generate brown ammonium bis-mercuric iodide. In accordance with the color development, qualitatively determine the urease activity in the sample.3 Reagents and Materials

Transfer all the contents of the test tube into a 100 mL beaker, use 20 mL of water to rinse the test tube several times, and use the sodium hydroxide standard solution to titrate it, until the acidity meter indicates pH 4.70.If you choose to use an indicator, then, transfer all the contents of the test tube into a 250 mL conical flask, add 8 ~ 10 drops of a mixed indicator of methyl red and bromocresol green, and use the sodium hydroxide standard solution to titrate it, until the solution turns blue-green and does not fade for 30 seconds. Take another test tube for a blank test and weigh-take the same mass of specimen. At the same time interval, add 10.0 mL of hydrochloric acid solution to each specimen. After shaking, add 10 mL of urea buffer solution. Immediately cover the test tube and vigorously shake it.
