BRITISH STANDARD BS EN ISO 1666:1998 Starch Determination of moisture content Oven-drying method The European Standard EN ISO 1666:1997 has the status of a British Standard ICS 67.180.20 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Nov 19 13:59:54 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BS EN ISO 1666:1998 This British Standard, having been prepared under the direction of the Consumer Products and Services Sector Board, was published under the authority of the Standards Board and comes into effect on 15 January 1998 © BSI 04-1999 ISBN 0 580 29098 0 National foreword This British Standard is the English language version of EN ISO 1666:1997. It is identical with ISO 1666:1997. It supersedes BS EN ISO 1666:1994 which is withdrawn. This British Standard has been produced to fulfil BSIs obligation to publish all approved European Standards but, because of the absence of interest in the UK in the subject concerned, there has been no UK participation in the preparation of EN ISO 1666. Any queries relating to the EN should be directed to BSI, quoting the reference “AW/100”. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publications. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 1666 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 93, Starch (including derivatives and by-products). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 1666:1973), which has been technically revised. Annex A of this International Standard is for information only. Descriptors: Carbohydrates, starches, tests, determination of content, water, moisture content.

The method is applicable to native or modified starch in the dry form. In special circumstances, for example if the starch contains substances which are unstable at 130 °C, the method is not applicable. 2 Definition For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies. 2.1 moisture content of starch loss in mass of the material under the test conditions specified in this International Standard, expressed as a percentage by mass 3 Principle Dehydration of the test portion in an electrically heated drying oven at 130 °C to 133 °C, under atmospheric pressure, for a period of 1 h 30 min. 4 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following. 4.1 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,001 g. 4.2 Dish, made of a metal unaffected by starch under the test conditions (e.g. aluminium), with a suitable tight-fitting lid, the effective surface being such that the test portion when evenly distributed has a thickness corresponding to not more than 0,3 g/cm2. Suitable dimensions are 55 mm to 65 mm diameter, 15 mm to 30 mm height and 0,5 mm wall thickness. 4.3 Constant-temperature oven, electrically heated, with suitable air circulation, controlled in such a way that the temperature of the air surrounding the test portions and of the shelves carrying the test portions is within the range 130 °C to 133 °C under normal conditions. The heat capacity shall be such that, when the oven is initially adjusted to 131 °C, it can regain this temperature in less than 30 min after insertion of the maximum number of test portions that can be dried simultaneously. 4.4 Desiccator, provided with a thick perforated metal plate for rapid cooling of the dishes, and containing an effective drying agent. 5 Test sample The test sample shall be free from any hard and lumpy material. It should be received in an airtight and moisture-tight container. After withdrawing the test portions, the remainder of the sample shall be stored in the same container for further tests if required. It shall be homogenized before use. 6 Procedure 6.1 Test portion Carry out weighings to the nearest 0,001 g. After drying at 130 °C and cooling in the desiccatortor (4.4), weigh the dish (4.2) and its lid (m0). Using the balance (4.1), weigh 5 g ± 0,25 g of the well-mixed sample and transfer it to the dish with the minimum exposure to the atmosphere. Replace the lid and weigh immediately to determine the mass of the test portion and dish (m1). Distribute the test portion in a uniform layer over the bottom of the dish. 6.2 Determination Place the open dish containing the test portion in the oven (4.3) preheated to 130 °C, allowing the lid to lean against the dish, and dry at 130 °C to 133 °C for 1 h 30 min, calculated from the moment when the oven temperature again reaches 130 °C. After this period, rapidly cover the dish and put it in the desiccator. Never superimpose dishes in the desiccator. Allow the test portion to cool to room temperature in the desiccator (4.4) for 30 min to 45 min. When the dish has cooled to room temperature, weigh it and the lid (m2) within 2 min of its removal from the desiccator. Carry out at least two determinations on the same test sample. 7 Calculation The moisture content, expressed as a percentage by mass, is given by the formula where m0is the mass, in grams, of the dried empty dish and lid; m1is the mass, in grams, of the dish with the test portion and lid before drying; m2is the mass, in grams, of the dish with the test portion and lid after drying. m1m2() 100 % m1m0 - -× Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Nov 19 13:59:54 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN ISO 1666:1997 2 © BSI 04-1999 Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the two determinations, if their absolute difference does not exceed the value given for the repeatability limit in 8.1. Report the result to the first decimal place. 8 Precision Details of an interlaboratory test on the precision of the method are summarized in Annex A. The values derived from the interlaboratory test may not be applicable to analyte concentration ranges and matrices other than those given. 8.1 Repeatability The absolute difference between two independent single test results, obtained using the same method on identical test material in the same laboratory by the same operator using the sample equipment within a short interval of time, should not be greater than the repeatability limit r given in Table 1, in more than 5 % of cases. 8.2 Reproducibility The absolute difference between two single test results, obtained using the same method on identical test material in different laboratories with different operators using different equipment, should not be greater than the reproducibility limit R given in Table 1, in more than 5 % of cases. Table 1 9 Test report The test report shall specify: the method used; the test result obtained; and if the repeatability has been checked, the final quoted result obtained. It shall also mention all operating details not specified in this International Standard, or regarded as optional, together with details of any incidents which may have influenced the test result. The test report shall include all information necessary for the complete identification of the sample.
