LIQUID AND LIMPID PRODUCTS MIX CAREFULLY AND PROCEED TO DETERMINATION 1.2 . SEMI-DENSE PRODUCTS , PUREES , FRUIT JUICES WITH MATTER IN SUSPENSION . CAREFULLY MIX AN AVERAGE LABORATORY SAMPLE AND THEN HOMOGENIZE . STRAIN PART OF THE SAMPLE THROUGH DRY GAUZE FOLDED IN FOUR , REMOVE THE FIRST DROPS AND PROCEED TO DETERMINATION ON THE FILTRATE . 1.3 . DENSE PRODUCTS ( JAMS AND JELLIES ) IF THE HOMOGENIZED PRODUCT CANNOT BE USED DIRECTLY , WEIGH 40 G OF THE PRODUCT TO THE NEAREST 0,01 G IN 250 ML BEAKER AND ADD 100 ML OF DISTILLED WATER . BOIL GENTLY FOR TWO OR THREE MINUTES , STIRRING WITH A GLASS ROD . COOL , DECANT CONTENTS OF THE BEAKER INTO A GRADUATED 200 ML FLASK , BRING UP TO THE REQUIRED LEVEL WITH DISTILLED WATER AND MIX CAREFULLY . ALLOW TO STAND FOR 20 MINUTES , THEN STRAIN THROUGH A FOLDED FILTER OR A BUECHNER FUNNEL . MAKE DETERMINATION IN THE FILTRATE 1.4 . FROZEN PRODUCTS DEFROST AND REMOVE STONES OR PIPS AND CORES . MIX THE PRODUCT WITH THE LIQUID FORMED DURING DEFROSTING AND PROCEED AS IN 1.2 OR 1.3 . 1.5 . DRY PRODUCTS CONTAINING WHOLE FRUIT OR PIECES OF FRUIT CUT PART OF THE LABORATORY SAMPLE INTO SMALL PIECES , REMOVE STONES OR PIPS AND CORES AND MIX CAREFULLY . WEIGH 10 TO 20 G OF THE PRODUCT TO THE NEAREST 0,01 G IN A BEAKER . ADD DISTILLED WATER TO AT LEAST FIVE TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE PRODUCT . HEAT IN A WATER BATH FOR 30 MINUTES , STIRRING OCCASIONALLY WITH A GLASS ROD . WHEN COOL HOMOGENIZE CONTENTS OF THE BEAKER AND POUR INTO A GRADUATED 100 TO 250 ML MEASURING FLASK ( DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE SAMPLE ) . BRING TO THE REQUIRED LEVEL AND MIX CAREFULLY . AFTER 20 MINUTES FILTER INTO A DRY CONTAINER AND MAKE DETERMINATION ON THE FILTRATE . 2 .

ANNEX III

METHOD OF MEASURING DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE IN PRODUCTS PROCESSED FROM FRUIT AND VEGETABLES BY REFRACTOMETRY

I . FIELD OF APPLICATION

APPLICATION OF THIS METHOD IS RELATED TO THE QUANTITY OF SUGAR PRESENT IN THE PRODUCT ANALYZED . THE PRESENCE OF AMINO-ACIDS , SALTS OF ORGANIC ACIDS , FLAVONOIDS AND MINERAL SUBSTANCES ALTERS THE REFRACTIVE INDEX .

II . DEFINITION

DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE ( DETERMINED BY REFRACTOMETRY ) MEANS THE PERCENTAGE WEIGHT OF SUCROSE IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF SUCROSE WHICH , UNDER GIVEN CONDITIONS OF PREPARATION AND A GIVEN TEMPERATURE , HAS THE SAME REFRACTIVE INDEX AS THE PRODUCT ANALYZED . THIS PERCENTAGE IS EXPRESSED IN GRAMS PER 100 GRAMS .

III . PRINCIPLE

DEDUCTION OF THE DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE CONTENT OF A PRODUCT FROM ITS REFRACTIVE INDEX .

IV . APPARATUS

ABBE TYPE REFRACTOMETER

THIS APPARATUS MUST HAVE A SCALE INDICATING THE PERCENTAGE WEIGHT OF SUGAR TO THE NEAREST 0,1 % . IT MUST BE SO CONSTRUCTED THAT SAMPLES CAN BE INTRODUCED EASILY AND QUICKLY . IT MUST BE EASY TO CLEAN .

THE REFRACTOMETER MUST HAVE A THERMOMETER WITH A SCALE EXTENDING FROM AT LEAST + 15 * C TO + 25 * C . IT MUST ALSO HAVE A WATER CIRCULATOR ENABLING MEASUREMENTS TO BE MADE AT A TEMPERATURE OF 20 * C MORE OR LESS 5 * C .

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS APPARATUS , AND IN PARTICULAR THOSE DEALING WITH CALIBRATION AND LIGHT SOURCE , MUST BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED .

V . METHOD

1 . PREPARATION OF SAMPLE

1.1 . LIQUID AND LIMPID PRODUCTS

MIX CAREFULLY AND PROCEED TO DETERMINATION

1.2 . SEMI-DENSE PRODUCTS , PUREES , FRUIT JUICES WITH MATTER IN SUSPENSION .

CAREFULLY MIX AN AVERAGE LABORATORY SAMPLE AND THEN HOMOGENIZE . STRAIN PART OF THE SAMPLE THROUGH DRY GAUZE FOLDED IN FOUR , REMOVE THE FIRST DROPS AND PROCEED TO DETERMINATION ON THE FILTRATE .

1.3 . DENSE PRODUCTS ( JAMS AND JELLIES )

IF THE HOMOGENIZED PRODUCT CANNOT BE USED DIRECTLY , WEIGH 40 G OF THE PRODUCT TO THE NEAREST 0,01 G IN 250 ML BEAKER AND ADD 100 ML OF DISTILLED WATER .

BOIL GENTLY FOR TWO OR THREE MINUTES , STIRRING WITH A GLASS ROD .

COOL , DECANT CONTENTS OF THE BEAKER INTO A GRADUATED 200 ML FLASK , BRING UP TO THE REQUIRED LEVEL WITH DISTILLED WATER AND MIX CAREFULLY . ALLOW TO STAND FOR 20 MINUTES , THEN STRAIN THROUGH A FOLDED FILTER OR A BUECHNER FUNNEL .

MAKE DETERMINATION IN THE FILTRATE

1.4 . FROZEN PRODUCTS

DEFROST AND REMOVE STONES OR PIPS AND CORES . MIX THE PRODUCT WITH THE LIQUID FORMED DURING DEFROSTING AND PROCEED AS IN 1.2 OR 1.3 .

1.5 . DRY PRODUCTS CONTAINING WHOLE FRUIT OR PIECES OF FRUIT

CUT PART OF THE LABORATORY SAMPLE INTO SMALL PIECES , REMOVE STONES OR PIPS AND CORES AND MIX CAREFULLY .

WEIGH 10 TO 20 G OF THE PRODUCT TO THE NEAREST 0,01 G IN A BEAKER . ADD DISTILLED WATER TO AT LEAST FIVE TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE PRODUCT . HEAT IN A WATER BATH FOR 30 MINUTES , STIRRING OCCASIONALLY WITH A GLASS ROD . WHEN COOL HOMOGENIZE CONTENTS OF THE BEAKER AND POUR INTO A GRADUATED 100 TO 250 ML MEASURING FLASK ( DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE SAMPLE ) . BRING TO THE REQUIRED LEVEL AND MIX CAREFULLY . AFTER 20 MINUTES FILTER INTO A DRY CONTAINER AND MAKE DETERMINATION ON THE FILTRATE .

2 . DETERMINATION

BRING THE SAMPLE TO THE MEASUREMENT TEMPERATURE ( + 20 * C ) BY IMMERSING THE CONTAINER IN A WATER BATH OF THE REQUIRED TEMPERATURE .

PLACE A SMALL SAMPLE ON THE LOWER PRISM OF THE REFRACTOMETER , TAKING CARE TO ENSURE THAT THE SAMPLE COVERS THE GLASS SURFACE UNIFORMLY WHEN THE PRISMS ARE PRESSED AGAINST EACH OTHER . MEASURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE APPARATUS USED .

READ THE PERCENTAGE WEIGHT OF SUCROSE TO THE NEAREST 0,1 % .

MAKE AT LEAST TWO DETERMINATIONS ON THE SAME PREPARED SAMPLE .

VI . EXPRESSION OF RESULTS

1 . CALCULATION AND FORMULATION

THE DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE CONTENT , CONVENTIONALLY EXPRESSED IN GRAMS OF SUCROSE PER 100 GRAMS OF PRODUCT , IS CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS : THE PERCENTAGE SUCROSE CONTENT INDICATED BY REFRACTOMETRY IS USED DIRECT . IF THE READING IS MADE AT A TEMPERATURE OTHER THAN + 20 * C , CORRECT AS INDICATED IN THE ATTACHED TABLE .

IF MEASUREMENT HAS BEEN MADE ON A DILUTE SOLUTION , THE DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE CONTENT IS EQUAL TO

M BY 100/E

M BEING THE WEIGHT ( IN GRAMS ) OF DRY SOLUBLE RESIDUE PER 100 GRAMS OF PRODUCT INDICATED BY THE REFRACTOMETER AND E THE WEIGHT ( IN GRAMS ) OF PRODUCT PER 100 ML OF SOLUTION .
