The dried material is hydrolysed with 40 per cent. sulphuric acid the cystine precipitated by cuprous chloride as the cysteine cuprous mercaptide. The cysteine content of this is determined by the modified Sullivan method. 2. The interfering colouring matter is automatically eliminated. 3. The method is quick and comparatively easy.
