A method is described for colorimetric determination of citrulline following deproteinization,
depending upon the reaction with diacetyl monoxime in the presence of sulfuric and
phosphoric acids. Ferric chloride is included to sensitize the reaction and thiosemicarbazide
to improve light stability of the chromogen. The method offers diminished heating time
compared with existing procedures, combined with good sensitivity and photostability of the
chromonphore.
