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. Bound acetyl reaction Add 25.0 ml of NaOH 0.45 N (4.2). Stopper and shake vigorously for ½ hour Use mechanical shaker Titration  Flush stopper and neck of flask with a little distilled water and titrate excess alkali with 0.2N HCL to disappearance of pink colour. Blank 25.0 ml 0.45N NaOH (4.2) is titrated as a blank   6. Calculatio...

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...
