Abstract:
In this paper, a simple and rapid colorimetric method, which does not require any expensive and complex instruments, is established for the determination of melamine in dairy products. Lower than 2.5 ppm (the safety limit in the USA and EU) of melamine in real samples can be detected exactly with the recoveries in a range from 98-115% using a 721-A spectrophotometer. More significantly, the existence of melamine can be visually evaluated easily without the aid of any instrumentation.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
