Taurine |
Additive composition Taurine Active substance Taurine IUPAC name: 2-amino-ethanesulfonic acid C2H7NO3S CAS number: 107-35-7 Taurine solid form, produced by chemical synthesis: min. 98 %. Method of Analysis (1) For the determination of taurine in feed additive: ion-exchange chromatography with post column ninhydrin derivatisation (European Pharmacopoeia method for the determination of amino acids (Ph. Eur. 6.6, 2.2.56 Method 1)). For the determination of taurine in premixtures and feedingstuffs: ion-exchange chromatography with post column ninhydrin derivatisation and photometric detection: based on Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 (Annex III, F), or Reverse Phase High- Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled to fluorescence detector (AOAC 999.12). For the determination of taurine in water: Liquid Chromatography coupled to UV or fluorescence detector (AOAC 997.05). |
