Formaldehyde or formalin is used in formol titration procedure as a titrant because it reacts with the substances being titrated and forms a colored complex that can be easily detected. This complex formation allows for a precise determination of the concentration of the analyte in the sample being tested.
In the formol titration method for determining glycine, formaldehyde is added to a solution of glycine, resulting in the formation of a white precipitate of formyl glycine. The excess formaldehyde is then titrated with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide to determine the amount of glycine present in the original solution. The endpoint is reached when a pink color change is observed due to the formation of a chromophore from the excess formaldehyde.
Sorenson's formol titration is a method used to determine the concentration of ammonia in a solution. It involves titrating the ammonia with a standard solution of formaldehyde (formalin). The endpoint is reached when all the ammonia has reacted, forming a stable compound. This method is particularly useful in environmental and water quality analysis.
In formol titration, amino acids with formaldehyde are titrated with NaOH to measure the amount of amino acids in the solution. Potassium is also necessary for this titration and is supplied by using potassium oxalate. If calcium is present, it will react with the NaOH to form Ca(OH)2. This will make it appear to need more of the NaOH solution (and overestimate the titration). Potassium oxalate will chelate the calcium, and prevent it from reacting (forming calcium oxalate).
To determine protein content in ice cream using formol titration, first, mix ice cream sample with formol reagent and heat to hydrolyze proteins into amino acids. Then, titrate the liberated amino acids with a standard acid solution. The amount of acid solution used in the titration is correlated to the protein content in the ice cream sample.
A factor is used in formol titration to account for differences in amino acid composition among proteins, which affects the amount of formaldehyde needed to react with the protein nitrogen. Since different proteins have different amino acid compositions, applying a factor helps to standardize the protein determination process and ensure accurate results.

prepare about 1 to 1.5% solution of amino acid in 100 ml volumetric flask take 10 ml of the sample (amino acid) solution into 250 ml conical flask add phenophtalien indicator and titrate it against 0.1N standard NaOH when pink color appear stop the titration and add formalin untill the pink color disappear again titarte it with standard NaOH till the pink color reappear.

Its probably formol titration.that you are referring to ..where the formaldehyde blocks the amino group of glycine,forming a dimethylol derivative such that glycine instead of behaving like an ampholyte behaves like a carboxylic acid,Now you can treat it like an acid and titrate it with alkali
The Sørensen formol titration invented by S. P. L. Sørensen in 1907 is a titration of an amino acid with formaldehyde in the presence of potassium hydroxide. : RCH(NH2)COOH + HCHO + KOH → RCH(NHCH2OH)COOK + H2O An unknown sample is reacted with a known amount of base. The remaining base is titrated with acid to determine the amount of excess base. The difference (total base less excess) is equal to the amount of amino acid present in the original sample.

This method is used for estimation of free carboxyl group in amino acids & in mixture of amino acids. By this method one can determine the increase in carboxyl group which accompanies the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins.
In formol titration, blank serves as a control to account for any background color or turbidity in the sample that could interfere with the endpoint detection. By subtracting the blank value from the sample titration values, a more accurate measurement of the analyte concentration can be obtained.
There are saline electrostatic interactions between cationic aminos and anionic carboxyls in approximately all proteins, peptides and even dissolved amino-acids in solutions! By breaking apart the saline link because the aminos react covalently with the aldehyde to yield an uncharged methylol derivatives, the pKa of the carboxyl proton drops from 2 to 5 pH units for all of these families of peptides, because the saline bond is so long-ranged coulombic inverse square force that operates at the extended nano-meter colloidal rehealm of dimensions but the covalent link of the amino with the aldehyde is very short ranged molecular dimension. Thus the saline bond being unstable to Debye-Hückel shielding that can affect the position of the canonical-zwitterion equilibrium tautomers of all peptides gives the aggregation effects for the colloidal phenomena of salting in and salting out of solution of all peptides. Thus the Zwitterion tautomer Canonical equilibrium can willfully be controlled by ionic strength and dialectric conditions for all peptides! I discuss this in the Wilson Memorial LECTURE give at the 107th ALCA Congress in Red-Wing Minnesota in June 2011.
