ISI 11-1e Determination of pH and Acid Factor of Starch

ISI 11-1e Determination of pH and Acid Factor of Starch


1. ScopeThe method is applicable to commercial native starch

 

LT 02. Dec. 1964
Rev. LT 16. Dec. 1997
2. PrincipleTitration of 40 g starch in slurry with acid to pH 3.0.

 

3. Apparatus3.1 Analytical balance weighing to the nearest 0.1 mg.
3.2 pH meter

 

4. Reagents4.1 Hydrochloric acid 0.1 N

 

5. ProcedureWeigh 40.0 g sample to the nearest 100 mg in a 250 ml beaker
Add 100 ml distilled water and stir.

pH

Note pH of slurry

Titration

Titrate with burette and (4.1) to pH = 3.0

V = ml (4.2). N = normality of (4.2)

 

6. CalculationCalculate acid factor of sample by averaging results of two samples with one decimal.

Acid factor = 10 N V

Report pH of starch slurry as pH of starch with one decimal.

Eventually correct to value on sample dry matter.

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. Weigh the total weight of beaker, stirrer, starch and water (W g) Transfer beaker (3.2) to a boiling water bath. Attach stirrer to ag...
