The calculation of the protein content of infant formulas prepared ready for consumption may be based on N x 6.25, unless a scientific justification is provided for
the use of a different conversion factor for a particular product. The value of 6.38 is generally established as a specific factor appropriate for conversion of nitrogen
to protein in other milk products, and the value of 5.71 as a specific factor for conversion of nitrogen to protein in other soy products

Verification of Composition, Quality and Authenticity
Fruit juices and nectars should be subject to testing for authenticity, composition, and quality where applicable and where required. The analytical methods used should be those
found in Section 9, Methods of Analysis and Sampling.
The verification of a samples authenticity / quality can be assessed by comparison of data for the sample, generated using appropriate methods included in the standard, with that
produced for fruit of the same type and from the same region, allowing for natural variations, seasonal changes and for variations occurring due to processing.

Weighing
Preparation of test samples: Weigh 2 g of sample into a 250 ml beaker and mix the sample with 100 ml of cold (15C) NH3-free H2O and then stir the mixture for 60
min. Next, decant the mixture through a quantitative filter and collect the filtrate in a 100 ml volumetric flask.
Endpoint - A pH meter shall be used to determine the endpoint instead of optical verification of colours
