1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of free N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-
alkylamides (amidoamine) in alkylamidopropylbetaines, expressed in grams per 100 g of product.
This method is applicable in the range between 0,02 g and 1,0 g of amidoamine per 100 g of product.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.
EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use – Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987)
ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents – Methods of sample division
3 Principle
The method is based on the amidoamine extraction with diethyl ether at alkaline pH and subsequent analysis of the
organic extract by GLC-FID. The chromatogram resolves the different amidoamines according to their alkyl chain
length. The result is calculated from the sum of all the chain homologues.
4 Reagents
WARNING: Your attention is drawn to the regulations covering the handling of hazardous substances.
Technical organisational and personal protection measures should be observed.
During the analysis, unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade that have been
checked in advance as not interfering with the analytical results.
4.1 Water, complying with grade 3 as defined in EN ISO 3696.
NOTE If the water is purified via ion-exchange resins, ensure that no cationic or anionic species from the resins cause
interference.
4.2 Ethanol
4.3 Diethyl ether
4.4 N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-undecylamide (amidoamine-C11), purity ≥ 98 % m/m.
NOTE The N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) alkylamide standard preparation and purity determination are given in Annex A.
4.5 Potassium hydroxide, ethanolic solution c (KOH)= 1 mol/l.
4.6 Internal standard solution
Weigh in a 50 ml volumetric flask, to the nearest 0,1 mg, approximately 0,2 g of the amidoamine-C11 (4.4).
Dissolve and make up to the mark with ethanol (4.2). Keep tightly closed.
4.7 Sodium chloride, aqueous solution, 30 % m/m.
4.8 Phenolphthalein, solution of 1 % m/V in ethanol.
