ANALYSIS FOR FEEDINGSTUFFS. A. PREPARATION

SAMPLES FOR ANALYSIS. 1. Purpose The procedures described below concern the preparation for analysis

final samples, sent to the control laboratories after sampling in accordance with the provisions laid down by First Commission Directive 76/371/EEC

1 March 1976 establishing Community methods

sampling for the

ficial control

feedingstuffs

  1. 1 OJ No. L 102, 15 April 1976, p.
  2. These samples must be prepared in such a way that the amounts weighed out, as provided for in the methods

analysis, are homogeneous and representative

the final samples. 2. Precautions to be taken All the necessary operations must be performed in such a way as to avoid as far as possible contamination

the sample and changes

its composition. Grinding, mixing and sieving should be carried out as quickly as possible with minimal exposure

the sample to the air and light. Mills and grinders likely to appreciably heat the sample should not be used. Manual grinding is recommended for feedingstuffs which are particularly sensitive to heat. Care should also be taken to ensure that the apparatus itself is not a source

contamination

trace elements. If the preparation cannot be carried out without significant changes in the moisture content

the sample, determine the moisture content before and after preparation according to the method laid down in method 2.1

these regulations. 3. Procedure Mix thoroughly the final sample either mechanically or manually. Divide the sample into two equal portions (the quartering method should be used where applicable). Keep one

the portions in a suitable clean, dry container, fitted with an air-tight stopper, and prepare the other portion or a representative part

it,

at least 100g, as indicated below. 3.1 Feedingstuffs which can be ground as such. Unless otherwise specified in the methods

analysis, sieve the whole sample through a sieve with a square mesh

1 mm size (in accordance with recommendation ISO R565) after grinding, if necessary. Avoid any overgrinding. Mix the sieved sample and collect it in a suitable clean dry container fitted with an air-tight stopper. Mix again, immediately before weighing out the amount for analysis. Feedingstuffs which can be ground after drying. Unless otherwise specified in the methods

analysis, dry the sample to bring its moisture content down to a level

8 to 12% according to the preliminary drying procedure described under point 4.3

the method

determination

moisture mentioned in section 2 above. Then proceed as indicated in section 3.1. 3.3 Liquid or semi-liquid feedingstuffs. Collect the sample in a suitable clean, dry container, fitted with an air-tight stopper. Mix thoroughly immediately before weighing out the amount for analysis. 3.4 Other feedingstuffs. Samples which cannot be prepared according to one

the above procedures should be treated by any other procedure which ensures that the amounts weighed out for the analysis are homogeneous and representative

the final samples. 4. Storage

samples Samples must be stored at a temperature that will not alter their composition. Samples intended for the analysis

vitamins or substances which are particularly sensitive to light should be stored in brown glass containers. B. PROVISIONS RELATING TO REAGENTS AND APPARATUS USED IN METHODS

ANALYSIS. 1. Unless otherwise specified in the methods

analysis, all analytical reagents must be analytically pure (a.p.). When determining trace elements the purity

the reagents must be checked by a blank test. Depending upon the results obtained, further purification

the reagents may be required. 2. Any operation involving preparation

solutions, dilution, rinsing or washing, mentioned in the methods

analysis without indication as to the nature

the solvent or dilutent employed, implies that water must be used. As a general rule, water should be demineralized or distilled. In particular cases, which are indicated in the methods

analysis, it must be submitted to special procedures

purification. 3. In view

the equipment normally found in control laboratories, only those instruments and apparatus which are special or require specific usage are referred to in the methods

analysis. They must be clean, especially when very small amounts

substances have to be determined. C. APPLICATION

METHODS

ANALYSIS AND EXPRESSION

THE RESULTS. 1. In general a single method

analysis is established for the determination

each substance in feedingstuffs. Where several methods are given, the particular method used by the control laboratory must be indicated on the analysis report. 2. The result given in the analysis report shall be the average value obtained from at least two determinations, carried out on separate portions

the sample, and

satisfactory repeatability. This result shall be expressed in the manner laid down in the method

analysis to an appropriate number

significant figures and shall be corrected, if necessary, to the moisture content

the final sample prior to preparation. 2. MOISTURE. 2.1 DETERMINATION

MOISTURE. 1. Purpose and scope To determine the moisture content

feedingstuffs. It does not cover the analysis

milk products as straight feedingstuffs, the analysis

mineral substances and mixtures composed predominantly

mineral substances, the analysis

animal and vegetable fats and oils or the analysis

  3. Principle The sample is desiccated under specified conditions which vary according to the nature

the feeding stuffs. The loss in mass is determined by weighing. It is necessary to carry out preliminary drying when dealing with solid feeding stuffs which have a high moisture content. 3. Apparatus 3.1 Crusher

non moisture-absorbing material which is easy to clean, allows rapid, even crushing without producing any appreciable heating, prevents contact with the outside air as far as possible and meets the requirements laid down in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 (e.g. hammer or water-cooled micro-crushers, collapsible cone mills, slow motion or cog-wheeled crushers). 3.2 Analytical balance, accurate to 0.5 mg. 3.3 Dry containers

non-corrodible metal or

glass with lids ensuring airtight closure; working surface allowing the test sample to be spread at about 0.3 g/cm2 3.4 Electrically heated isothermal oven (+1°C) properly ventilated and ensuring rapid temperature regulation.2 3.5 Adjustable electrically heated vacuum oven fitted with an oil pump and either a mechanism for introducing hot, dried air or a drying agent (e.g. calcium oxide). 3.6 Desiccator with a thick perforated metal or porcelain plate, containing an efficient drying agent. 4. Procedure N.B. The operations described in this section must be carried out immediately after opening the packages

samples. Analysis must be carried out at least in duplicate. 4.1 Preparation 4.1.1 Feedingstuffs other than those coming under 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. Take at least 50g

the sample. If necessary, crush or divide in such a way as to avoid any variation in moisture content (see 6). 4.1.2 Cereals and groats Take at least 50g

the sample. Grind into particles

which at least 50 per cent will pass through a 0.5 mm mesh sieve and will leave no more than 10 per cent reject on a 1 mm round-meshed sieve. 4.1.3 Feedingstuffs in liquid or paste form, feeding stuffs predominantly composed

oil. Weigh, to the nearest 10 mg. approximately 25 g

the sample. Add an appropriate quantity

anhydrous sand weighed to the nearest 10 mg and mix until a homogeneous product is obtained. 4.2 Drying 4.2.1 Feedingstuffs other than those coming under 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. Weigh, to the nearest 0.5 mg, a container (3.3) with its lid. Weigh into the weighed container, to the nearest mg, about 5 g

the sample and spread evenly. Place the container, without its lid, in the oven preheated to 103°C. To prevent the oven temperature from falling unduly introduce the container as rapidly as possible. Leave to dry for 4 hours reckoned from the time when the oven temperature returns to 103°C. Replace the lid on the container, remove the latter from the oven, leave to cool for 30-45 minutes in the desiccator (3.6) and weigh to the nearest mg. For feeding stuffs composed predominantly

oil, dry in the oven for an additional 30 minutes at 130°C. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. The difference between the two weighings must not exceed 0.1 per cent

moisture. 2For the drying

cereals, flour, groats and meal, the oven must have a thermal capacity such that when pre-set at 131°C it will return to that temperature in less than 45 minutes after the maximum number

lest samples have been placed inside to dry simultaneously. Ventilation must be such that, when as many samples

common wheat as it can contain are dried for 2 hours, the results differ from those obtained after 4 hours

drying by less than 0.15%. 4.2.2 Cereals, flour, groats and meal. Weigh, to the nearest 0.5 mg, a container (3.3) with its lid. Weigh into the weighed container, to the nearest mg, about 5 g

the crushed sample and spread evenly. Place the container, without its lid in the oven (3.4) preheated to 130°C. To prevent the oven temperature from falling unduly, introduce the container as rapidly as possible. Leave to dry for 2 hours reckoned from the time when the oven temperature returns to 130°C. Replace the lid on the container, remove the latter from the oven, leave to cool for 30-45 minutes in the desiccator (3.6) and weigh to the nearest mg. 4.2.3 Compound feedingstuffs containing more than 4 per cent

sucrose or lactose; straight feeding stuffs such as locust beans, hydrolized cereal products, maltculms, dried beet pulp, fish and sugar solubles; compound feeding stuffs containing more than 25 per cent

mineral salts including water

crystallisation. Weigh, to the nearest 0.5 mg, a container (3.3) with its lid. Weigh into the weighed container, to the nearest mg, about 5 g

the sample and spread evenly. Place the container, without its lid, in the vacuum oven (3.5) preheated to between 80-85°C. To prevent the oven temperature from falling unduly, introduce the container as rapidly as possible. Bring the pressure up to 100 Torr and leave to dry for 4 hours at this pressure, either in a current

hot, dry air or using a drying agent (about 300g for 20 samples). In the latter instance, disconnect the vacuum pump when the prescribed pressure has been reached. Reckon drying time from the moment when the oven temperature returns to 80-85°C. Carefully bring the oven back to atmospheric pressure. Open the oven, place the lid on the container immediately, remove the container from the oven, leave to cool for 30-45 minutes in the desiccator (3.6) and weigh to the nearest mg. Dry for an additional 30 minutes in the vacuum oven at 80-85°C and reweigh. The difference between the two weighings must not exceed 0.1 per cent

moisture. 4.3 Preliminary drying 4.3.1 Feeding stuffs other than those coming under 4.3.2. Solid feedingstuffs with a high moisture content which makes crushing difficult must be subjected to preliminary drying as follows: Weigh, to the nearest 10 mg, approximately 50 g

uncrushed sample (compressed or agglomerated feeding stuffs may be roughly divided if necessary) in a suitable container (e.g. a 20x12 cm aluminium plate with a 0.5 cm rim). Leave to dry in an oven from 60-70°C until the moisture content has been reduced to between 8-12 per cent. Remove from the oven, leave to cool uncovered in the laboratory for 1 hour and weigh to the nearest 10 mg. Crush immediately as indicated in 4.1.1 and dry as indicated in 4.2.1 or 4.2.3 according to the nature

the feeding stuff. 4.3.2 Cereals. Grain with a moisture content

over 17 per cent must be subjected to preliminary drying as follows: Weigh, to the nearest 10 mg, 50 g

unground grain in a suitable container (e.g. a 20x12 cm aluminium plate with a 0.5 cm rim). Leave to dry for 5-7 minutes in an oven at 130°C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool uncovered in the laboratory for 2 hours and weigh to the nearest 10 mg. Grind immediately as indicated in 4.1.2 and dry as indicated in 4.2.2. 5. Calculation

results The moisture content, as a percentage

the sample, is calculated by using the following formulae: 5.1 Drying without preliminary drying where: E=initial mass, in grams,

the test sample; m=mass, in gramms,

the dry test sample. 5.2 Drying with preliminary drying where: E = initial mass, in grams,

the test sample; M = mass, in grams,

the test sample after preliminary drying; M1 = mass, in grams,

the test sample after crushing or grinding; m = mass, in grams,

the dry test sample. 6. Repeatability The difference between the results

two parallel determinations carried out on the same sample should not exceed 0.2% in absolute value. 7. Observation If crushing proves necessary and if this is seen to alter the moisture content

the product, the results

  1. 3.3 Electrically heated isothermal oven 103°C ± 2°C properly ventilated and ensuring rapid temperature regulation.
  2. Procedure 4.1 Preparation 4.1.1 Copra. Grate the sample wither by hand or mechanically and ensure representativity. The length

the particles may exceed 2 mm but should not be greater than 5 mm. Mix the particles carefully and carry out the determination without delay. 4.1.2 Seeds

medium size (e.g. groundnut, soya etc.) except sunflower seed and cotton seed with adherent linters. Grind the sample in a mechanical mill fitted with a 2 mm sieve. Mix and carry out the determination without delay. 4.1.3 Small seeds (e.g. linseed, colza, hemp etc.) as well as safflower seed, sunflower seed and cotton seed with adherent linters. These are analysed without previous grinding. 4.2 Drying. Weigh to the nearest mg, a container (3.2) previously dried for 30 mins at 103°C ± 2°C and cooled in a desiccator. Weigh into the container and to the nearest mg, 5 g±0.5 g

products coming under heading 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 and 5 to 10 g for products coming under heading 4.1.3. Spread the material evenly over the whole base

the vessel and immediately place in the oven (3.3) previously heated to 103°C ± 2°C. Leave to dry for 3 hours (12 to sixteen hours for cotton seed with adherent linters) reckoned from the time the oven temperature returns to 103°C. Replace the lid on the container, remove from the oven, cool in a desiccator and weigh. Return the uncovered container and lid to the oven for a further hour. Replace the lid on the container, remove from the oven, cool in a desiccator and weigh. Repeat the one hour drying operations until the difference between two successive weighings is equal to or less than 5 mg. 5. Calculation

results The moisture content, as a percentage

the sample, is calculated by using the following formula. where: E = initial mass in grams,

the test sample. m = mass in grams

the dry test sample. 6. Repeatability. The difference between the results

two parallel determinations carried out on the same sample should not exceed 0.2% in absolute value. 2.3 DETERMINATION

MOISTURE IN MILK PRODUCTS. 1. Purposes and scope To determine the moisture content

milk products as straight feeding stuffs.

  1. Principle The sample is dried at 102°C ± 1°C. The loss in mass is determined by weighing.
  2. Apparatus 3.1 Analytical balance. 3.2 Flat bottomed dishes

non-corrodible metal or

glass with lids ensuring airtight closure; Suitable dimensions are: diameter 60 to 80 mm and depth about 25 mm. 3.3 Electrically heated isothermal oven (±1°C) properly ventilated and ensuring rapid temperature regulation. 3.4 Desiccator, containing an efficient drying agent. 4. Procedure Place dishes (3.2) in drying oven at 102°C (3.3) for approximately 60 minutes. Cool in a desiccator (3.4) and weigh accurately. Weigh to the nearest mg, approximately 2 g

sample into the dish. Transfer to oven (102°C) and leave sample uncovered for 2 hours. Replace the lid, transfer the covered dish to the desiccator, allow it to cool to room temperature and accurately weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg as quickly as possible. Uncover the dish and heat it and its lid for one hour in the oven. 5. Calculation

results The moisture content, as a percentage

the sample, is calculated by using the following formula: where: E = initial mass, in grams,

the test sample; m = mass, in grams,

MOISTURE IN ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE FATS AND OILS. 1. Purpose and scope To determine the moisture and volatile substances content

animal and vegetable fats and oils.

  1. Principle The sample is dried to constant weight at 103°C. The loss in mass is determined by weighing.
  2. Apparatus 3.1 Flat-bottomed dish,

a corrosion-resistant material, 8-9 cm in diameter and approximately 3 cm high. 3.2 Mercury thermometer with a strengthened bulb and expansion tube at the top end, graduated from approximately 80°C to at least 110°C, and approximately 10 cm in length. 3.3 Sand bath or electric hot-plate. 3.4 Desiccator, containing an efficient drying agent. 3.5 Analytical balance. 4. Procedure Weigh, to the nearest mg, approximately 20 g

the homogenized sample into the dry, weighed dish (3.1) containing the thermometer (3.2). Heat on the sand bath or hot-plate (3.3), stirring continuously with the thermometer, so that the temperature reaches 90°C in about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat, watching the frequency with which bubbles rise from the bottom

the dish. The temperature must not exceed 105°C. Continue to stir, scraping the bottom

the dish, until bubbles stop forming. In order to ensure complete elimination

moisture, reheat several times to 103°C ± 2°C, cooling to 93°C between successive heatings. Then leave to cool to room temperature in the desiccator (3.4) and weigh. Repeat this operation until the loss in mass between two successive weighings no longer exceeds 2 mg. N.B. An increase in the mass

the sample after repeated heating indicates an oxidation

the fat, in which case calculate the result from the weighing carried out immediately before the mass began to increase. 5. Calculation

results The moisture content, as a percentage

the sample, is given by the following formula: where: M0 = mass, in grams,

the test sample; M1 = mass. in grams,

the dish with its contents before heating; M2 = mass, in grams,

the dish with its contents after heating. Results lower than 0.05% must be recorded as 'lower than 0.05%'. 6. Repeatability The difference in moisture between the results

two parallel determinations carried out on the same sample must not exceed 0.05%, in absolute value. 3. CARBOHYDRATES. 3.1 DETERMINATION

CRUDE FIBRE. 1. Purpose and scope To determine, in feeding stuffs, the content

fat-free organic substances which are insoluble in acid and alkaline media and are conventionally described as crude fibre. 2. Principle The sample, defatted where necessary, is treated successively with boiling solutions

sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide

specified concentrations. The residue is separated by filtration in the presence

asbestos, washed, dried, weighed and ashed at 900°C. The loss

weight resulting from ashing corresponds to the crude fibre present in the test sample. 3. Reagents 3.1 Sulphuric acid, 0.26 N. 3.2 Treated asbestos: add to asbestos

the type used with a Gooch crucible approximately 5 times its weight

approximately 2 litre capacity, with measuring marks at the 800 ml level and fitted with glass funnels 120 mm in diameter. 4.4 Filter plates approximately 40 mm in diameter and approximately 4 mm thick, with slanting edges to fit the cone

the funnel (4.3), perforated with approximately 16 holes, each approximately 4 mm in diameter, and covered by a wire mesh, the mesh size being approximately 1 mm. Both plates and wire mesh must be resistant to acids and alkali. 4.5 Platinum or silica ashing crucibles. 4.6 Thermostatically controlled electric muffle-furnace. 4.7 Desiccator. 4.8 Asbestos filter: suspend 2.0 g asbestos (3.2) in 100 ml water. Filter under vacuum over the filter plate covered with a wire mesh (4.4) and placed in the funnel

a vacuum flask (4.3). Collect the filtrate and filter once more through the same filter. Discard the filtrate. 5. Procedure Weigh, to the nearest mg approximately 3 g

the sample and 2 g treated asbestos (3.2) into a beaker (4.1), add 200 ml sulphuric acid (3.1) and a few drops

antifoam (3.3). Bring rapidly to the boil and leave to boil for exactly 30 minutes. To keep a constant volume, cover the beaker with a cooling device such as a 500 ml round-bottomed flask in which cold water is circulated. Stop boiling by adding approximately 50 ml cold water and filter immediately under vacuum through an asbestos filter previously prepared as shown in 4.8. Wash the residue with 5 lots

approximately 100 ml

very hot water to obtain a final volume

filtrate

800 ml. Transfer the residue quantitatively to the beaker (4.1) which has first been fitted with a porcelain disc (4.2) to regulate the boiling. Add 200 ml potassium hydroxide solution (3.4). Bring rapidly to the boil and leave to boil for exactly 30 minutes. Add approximately 50 ml cold water and filter immediately under vacuum through a fresh asbestos filter previously prepared as shown in 4.8. Wash the residue with very hot water until the washing water is neutral (test with litmus paper), then 3 times with acetone (3.6) (approximately 100 ml acetone in all). Transfer the residue quantitatively to an ashing crucible (4.5), break up if necessary and dry to constant weight in the drying oven at 130°C. Leave to cool in the desiccator (4.7) and weigh rapidly. Place the crucible in the muffle-furnace (4.6) and leave to ash for 30 minutes at 900°C. Leave to cool in the desiccator (4.7) and weigh rapidly. Carry out a blank test applying the same procedure to the treated asbestos (3.2), but without the sample. Loss

weight resulting from ashing

the 6 g asbestos must not exceed 10 mg. 6. Calculation

results The crude fibre content, as a percentage

the sample, is given by the formula: where: a=loss

weight after ashing during the determination; b=loss

weight after ashing during the blank test. 7. Repeatability The difference between the results

two parallel determinations carried out on the same sample must not exceed: 0.3%, in absolute value, for crude fibre contents less than 10%; 3%, relative to the higher result, for crude fibre contents equal to or greater than 10%.

  1. Observations 8.1 Feeding stuffs containing more than 10% oil must be defatted prior to analysis with light petroleum (3.7). To do this, place the test sample (3 g weighed to the nearest mg) on an asbestos filter (4.8). Cover 3 times with approximately 50 ml light petroleum (3.7) and each time filter carefully under vacuum. Transfer the defatted test sample and the asbestos quantitatively to a beaker (4.1) and continue the analysis as shown in
  2. 8.2 Feeding stuffs containing oil which cannot be extracted directly must be defatted as shown in 7.1 and defatted a further time after the acid attack has been washed from the residue. To do this, wash the residue 3 times with acetone (3.6) (100 ml in all), then 3 times with 50 ml light petroleum (3.7). Then transfer the residue quantitatively to a beaker (4.1) and continue the analysis as shown in the second paragraph

5 (treatment with potassium hydroxide solution). 8.3 If the feeding stuffs are rich in calcium (more than 2% calcium), place the test sample (3 g, weighed to the nearest mg) in a beaker (4.1) with 100 ml hydrochloric acid 0.5 N (3.5) and leave to stand in a cool temperature for 5 minutes. Filter immediately and wash in cold water. Use as a filtration aid the 2.0 g asbestos specified for boiling with sulphuric acid. If filtration proves difficult, dilute the suspension with acetone (3.6). Then proceed as shown in 5. 3.2 DETERMINATION

STARCH. 3.2.1 Polarimetric method 1. Purpose and scope To determine the levels

starch and

high molecular weight starch degradation products in feedingstuffs, with the exception

those feedingstuffs which contain beet chips, beet pulp, dried beet tops or leaves, potato pulp, dehydrated yeast, products rich in inulin (e.g. chips and meal

Jerusalem artichokes) or greaves. 2. Principle The method comprises two determinations. In the first, the sample is treated when hot with dilute hydrochloric acid. After clarification and filtration the optical rotation

the solution is measured by polarimetry. In the second, the sample is extracted with 40% ethanol. After acidifying the filtrate with hydrochloric acid, clarifying and filtering, the optical rotation is measured as in the first determination. The difference between the two measurements, multiplied by a known factor, gives the starch content

the sample.

two parallel determinations carried out on the same sample must not exceed: — 0.4% in absolute value, for starch contents

less than 40%. — 1.0% relative to the higher results, for starch contents

40% or more. 8. Observations 8.1 if the sample contains more than 6%

carbonates, calculated in terms

calcium carbonate, they must be destroyed by treatment with an exactly appropriate quantity

dilute sulphuric acid before determination

the total optical rotation. 8.2 In the case

products with a high lactose content, such as powdered whey or skimmed milk powder, proceed as follows after adding 80 ml

ethanol (3.5). Fit a reflux condenser to the flask and immerse the latter in a water bath at 50°C for 30 minutes. Leave to cool and continue the analysis as indicated in 5.3. 3.2 DETERMINATION

starch and

starch degradation products

high molecular weight in feedingstuffs containing beet cossettes, beet pulp. dried beet tops or leaves, potato pulp, dried yeasts, products rich in inulin (e.g. cossettes and meal

starch are present in the sample. 2. Principle Sugars present in the sample are extracted with ethanol. The starch in the extracted residue is reduced to sugar with pancreatin. The sugars formed are hydrolysed with hydrochloric acid and the glucose formed is determined by the Luff-Schoorl method. The quantity

glucose thus obtained, multiplied by a constant factor, gives the starch content

Procedure 5.1 Preparation

the sample Crush the sample so that the whole

it will pass through a 0.5 mm sieve. (ISO sieve

R 565 conforms). 5.2 Extraction Weigh, to the nearest mg approximately 2 g

the sample and place in the filtration crucible (4.1.5), the bottom

which has first been covered with a filter paper (4.1.6) moistened with ethanol (3.1). Place in the conical flask (4.1.1) 55 ml ethanol (3.1) and a few granules

pumice stone (3.14). Place the filtration crucible in the metal container (4.1.4) and suspend the latter on the spindle hook (4.1.3). Place the reflux condenser over the conical flask and lower the spindle so that the bottom

the crucible just touches the surface

the ethanol. Peg the spindle firmly at this level. Bring the ethanol to boiling point and keep boiling for 3 hours. Then leave to cool and raise the spindle (4.1.3) to bring the crucible as high up as possible in the conical flask. Carefully unstopper the conical flask and allow 45 ml water to flow down along the sides

the flask. Replace the reflux condenser over the Erlenmeyer flask and keep the filtration crucible 10 cm above the surface

the liquid. Bring the liquid to boiling point and keep boiling for 3 hours. Then leave to cool, unstopper the conical flask and withdraw the crucible from the container. 5.3 Saccharification and hydrolysis Place the crucible on a vacuum flask and dry under suction. Transfer the extraction residue to a mortar and grind finely. Using approximately 60 ml water, transfer the powder quantitatively to a 200 ml graduated flask with a standard ground glass joint and add a few drops

amyl alcohol (3.2). Connect a reflux condenser to the flask. Heat to boiling point and keep boiling for 1 hour. Then leave to cool and disconnect the reflux condenser. Add 25 ml buffer solution (3.4), 250 mg pancreatin (3.12), 2.5 ml sodium chloride solution (3.5) and 10 drops toluene (3.3). Shake for 2 minutes, place the flask in the incubator (4.2) and keep there for 21 hours, shaking occasionally. Then leave to cool to room temperature. Add 5 ml Carrez I solution (3.6) and shake for 1 minute. Then add 5 ml Carrez II solution (3.7) and shake once again for 1 minute. Make up to volume with water, mix and filter. Using a pipette, take 50 ml filtrate and place in a 100 ml graduated flask (one may also work on 100 ml filtrate in a 200 ml graduated flask). Add a few drops

indicator (3.11) and acidify with hydrochloric acid 8 N (3.9) until the indicator turns red. Then add an extra 6.25 ml hydrochloric acid 8 N (3.9) (12.50 ml if working on 100 ml filtrate). Connect the reflux condenser to the flask, bring the solution to boiling point and keep boiling for 1 hour. Leave to cool, neutralise with the sodium hydroxide solution 10 N (

  1. 10) until the indicator turns yellow. Then acidify slightly by adding a little hydrochloric acid N (3.8), make up to volume with water and mix. Determine the glucose content according to the Luff-Schoorl method as shown in 5.
  2. 5.4 Titration according to Luff-Schoorl Using a pipette, take 25 ml Luff-Schoorl reagent (3.13) and place in a conical flask; add 25 ml, accurately measured,

the solution obtained in 5.3; this should not contain more than 60 mg

glucose. Add two granules

pumice stone (3.14), heat, while shaking manually, over a medium flame and bring the liquid to boiling point in approximately 2 minutes. Immediately place the conical flask on a wire gauze fitted with an asbestos screen which has a hole approximately 6 cm in diameter. Under the wire gauze a flame has first been lit, and this is regulated in such a way that only the bottom

the conical flask is heated. Then connect a reflux condenser to the conical flask. As soon as this is done, boil for 10 minutes exactly. Cool immediately in cold water and after approximately 5 minutes, titrate as follows: Add 10 ml potassium iodide solution (3.15) and, immediately afterwards, but with care, (because

the risk

extensive foaming) 25 ml sulphuric acid 6 N (3.16). Then titrate with the sodium thiosulphate solution 0.1 N (3.17) until a dull yellow colouring appears, add a few drops

starch indicator (3.18) and complete the titration. Carry out the same titration on an accurately measured mixture

25 ml Luff-Schoorl reagent (3.13) and 25 ml water, after adding 10 ml Potassium iodide solution (3.15) and 25 ml sulphuric acid 6 N (3.16), without bringing to the boil. 5.5 Blank Test Carry out a blank test, applying the procedure described in 5.3 and 5.4, but without a sample. 6. Calculation

  4. d)Deduct the value obtained in (
  5. c)from the starch content obtained by applying the method and calculating as shown in 6. 7.2 The quantity

glucose in relation to the blank test is normally 0.25 mg. It may not be greater than 0.50 mg. 8. Directions relating to pancreatin Physical aspect: yellowish-white, amorphous powder. Glucose content: the quantity

glucose

the blank test (see 5.5) is normally 0.25 mg. A result greater than 0.50 mg indicates that pancreatin can no longer be used. Check for iodine consumption: suspend 62.5 mg pancreatin in approximately 50 ml water heated to 2530°C. Add 1 ml iodine solution 0.1 N. Stir for 2 minutes. Titrate with a solution

sodium thiosulphate 0.1 N in the presence
