ISI 06-1e Determination of Dry Matter in Syrup by Refractive Index

ISI 06-1e Determination of Dry Matter in Syrup by Refractive Index

1. ScopeThe method is applicable to glucose, maltose and fructose syrup

 

JK 03. Feb. 1967
Rev. LT 24 Nov. 1997
2. PrincipleThe refractive index of sample is transformed to dry matter by a polynominal function or table.

 

3. Apparatus3.1 Refractometer, thermostated

 

4. ProcedureAdjust temperature of refractometer (3.1) to 45 oC. Degree Celcius = t
Adjust sample temperature to that chosen for the refractometer.
Place a few drops of sample on fixed prism and close instrumentWork fast
Read the refractive index (nD45) to nearest 0.0002 unit.

 

Clean prisms immediately after.
5. CalculationCorrect index to index at 45 oC (nD45) if not measured at 45 oC temperature and calculate dry matter (DM) in percent of sample (average results of two samples with no decimal):

nD45 = 0.000065* nD * (45-t) * nD3

DM % = a * nD452 + b * nD45 + c

Within the indicated range of dry matter the results is in agreement with table values for DM% +/- 0.3

...or use tables

Temperature correction only valid within a narrow range.

ISI 17-1e Determination of Viscosity of Starch by Brookfield 1. Scope The method is applicable to native and modified starch - preferably starch for sizing of paper and textiles. LT 7. Oct. 2002. 2. Principle Viscosity of starch size prepared by indirect heating is measured as torque on a rotating spindle at constant speed and temperature 3. Apparatus 3.1 Brookfield Viscometer  RVDV-E (RV range) Alternative: LV range 3.2 Beaker, 1000 ml 3.3 Laboratory scale 3.4 Agitator with paddle stirrer IKA EUROSTAR digital + IKA paddle stirrer R1373 3.4 Boiling water bath and lid with slit for paddle stirrer Bath large enough for lid to cover bath and beaker 4. Procedure Weigh starch sample equivalent to 50 g (w) dry substance (DS) in a beaker (3.2) and add distilled water bringing total weight of starch and water to 500 g.  Put stirrer (3.4) in the beaker.
