Summary Hydrolysis with alcoholic hydrochloric acid quantitatively converts the nitrogen of crude soybean lecithin to a water‐dispersible form. This alcoholic‐acid hydrolysis also converts the nitrogen in large amounts of crude soybean oil to a water‐dispersible form which can then be separated and digested with a minimum amount of sulfuric acid by the Kjeldahl procedure. With careful control of both reagents and blank determinations, as little as 0.1 mg. of nitrogen can be measured with a precision of about 10%. The details of the method are given and it is applied to a series of soybean oils after various treatments and to three kinds of salad oils.
