ISI 12-1e Determination of Acidity

ISI 12-1e Determination of Acidity


1. ScopeThe method is applicable to starch milk and hydrolysates

 

LT 12. Dec. 1966
Rev. LT 16. Dec. 1997
2. PrincipleTitration with NaOH to pH 8.3.

 

3. Apparatus3.1 Burette
3.2 pH meter
3.3 Volumetric flask 50 ml

 

4. Reagents4.1 Sodium hydroxide 0.1 N
4.2 Phenolphtalein: 1 g in 1 l ethanol 90%

 

5. ProcedureFill volumetric flask (3.3) with liquid sample. Transfer to 300 ml conical flask.

Titration 

Add 1 ml (4.2) and titrate with (4.1) to faint persistent pink or use pH meter to 8.3
V = ml (4.2). N = normality of (4.2)

 

6. CalculationCalculate acidity as normality N of sample by averaging results of two samples with one decimal.

N = N V / 50

 

7. NotesJ. Assoc. Off. Anal. Chem. 66 (1983) no. 6, 1395-1399 recommend pH 6.0 as end point, but AOAC limits this method to HFCS.
Ph. EUR 4ed acidity test for starch. Add 10 g sample to 100 ml of alcohol (70 per cent V/V) R previously neutralised to 0.5 ml of phenolphthalein solution R and shake for 1 h. Filter and take 50 ml of the filtrate. Not more than 2.0 ml of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide is required to change the colour of the indicator.

ISI 14-2e Determination of Acetyl Content

  ISI 14-2e Determination of Acetyl Content 1. Scope The method is applicable to acetylated starch   KM Rev. LT 14 Sep 1999 2. Principle Bound acetyl reacts with strong alkali and excess alkali is titrated   3. Apparatus 3.1 Burette 3.2 Conical flask, Erlenmeyer 250 ml with stopper   4. Reagents 4.1 Sodium hydroxide 0.1 N 4.2 Sodium hydroxide 0.45 N 4.3 Hydrochloric acid 0.2 N 4.4 Phenolphthalein: 1 g in 1 l ethanol 90%   5. Procedure Weigh 5 g of sample to the nearest mg. Transfer to conical flask (3.2) and disperse in 50 ml distilled water. Add a few drops of indicator (4.4) and titrate with (4.1) to permanent pink colour.

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...
