We have designed a method for the determination of betaine in muscle extractives using ammonium reineckate. This method is based upon the facts that betaine is precipitated with ammonium reineckate at pH 1, and according to Walker & Erlandsen the precipitate (betaine reineckate) is converted with AgNO3 into betaine nitrate which can be titrated with alkali. When this method was applied to muscle extractives, certain substances have been proved to interfere the results coprecipitating with betaine by ammonium reineckate and converting with AgN03 into acidic salts which could be titrated with alkali as betaine. Recently it was found by CROMWELL & RENNIE that most of these substances could be effectively removed by treatment with Ag2O. But we have been unable to remove trimethylaminoxide which gave acidic salt with AgNO3 by this method. Then this modified method of CROMWELL & RENNIE was not sufficient to determine betaine in muscle extractives which contained trimethylaminoxide. Trimethylaminoxide happened to be reduced to trimethylamine which gave no acidic salt, by treating with Cu powder and HCI at 100°C. for 20mins.. We have established the method for the determination of betaine introducing the reducing process. Testing our method for the muscle extractives, we have obtained the 94.7……96.5% of recovery. The resulting method for determination of betaine is shown as in Fig. 3.
