The Sørensen formol titration invented by S. P. L. Sørensen in 1907 〔Sørensen Biochem Z., 7, 45, 407 1907〕 is a titration of an amino acid with potassium hydroxide in the presence of formaldehyde.〔 Harry Auterhoff: ''Lehrbuch der Pharmazeutischen Chemie'', 5. Aufl., Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH Stuttgart, 1968.〕 It is used in the determination of protein content in samples. 〔''Analytical Chemistry of Foods'' C.S. James Springer Science & Business Media, 2013〕 If instead of an amino acid an ammonium salt is used the reaction product with formaldehyde is hexamethylenetetramine: : The liberated hydrochloric acid is then titrated with the base and the amount of ammonium salt used can be determined. With an amino acid the formaldehyde reacts with the amino group to form a methylene amino (R-N=CH2) group. The remaining acidic carboxylic acid group can then again be titrated with base. 〔 ==In winemaking== Formol titration is one of the methods used in winemaking to measure yeast assimilable nitrogen needed by wine yeast in order to successfully complete fermentation.〔B.
