In those cases in which the substitute is made by admixture with gelatin

or liquid glue the quantity of other organic matter obtained can be

checked by a Kjeldahl determination of the total nitrogen. If a natural

gum is added, it will be partially converted into sugar when the

filtered liquid is inverted, and so make the dextrin determination

slightly too high.
