Kjeldahl vs Dumas: a practical guide to choosing the right analytical method in food and environmental applications
Nitrogen determination is one of the most relevant and widely performed analyses in laboratories operating in the food and environmental sectors. From quality control of food products to evaluating the environmental impact of water and soil, knowing the exact nitrogen content is key to ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and process optimization.

But which method should you choose according to your laboratory requirements?

The two most widely used approaches – Kjeldahl and Dumas – are both established standards (AOAC, AACC, ASBC, ISO, IFFO, OIV), each with specific characteristics and advantages.

In this webinar, we’ll compare both methods, helping you understand which one best fits your analytical needs. We’ll explore real-life applications in food and environmental laboratories, highlighting case studies, potential challenges, and efficiency opportunities with VELP’s analytical solutions.

Whether you're considering investing in a new instrument or simply looking to update your knowledge on best practices, this webinar is designed to provide you with clear, useful, and immediately applicable insights.
