11、innaeus) O. Kuntze, intended to be used for the preparation of a beverage, are available in a variety of forms. Some incorporate in their formulation flavouring materials which are not normally present in tea, such as lemon, mint, jasmine, etc., and significant quantities of non-tea carbohydrates. T

12、he various products exhibit different characteristics so that, for the purposes of specifying requirements, it is necessary to deal separately with each type of product. Most instant tea is produced in solid form but current production also includes other types of instant tea such as liquid tea conc

13、entrates and semi-solid frozen products (“slushes”). Specifications for these other types of instant tea will be prepared if the need arises. Although substances such as caffeine and polyphenolic compounds are characteristic of tea, there is insufficient information on their roles and on their metho

14、ds of determination to justify their inclusion in this International Standard at present. Instant tea exhibits a number of variable physical characteristics which can be controlled during manufacture. This variability permits the manufacture of different products to meet the consumers needs and tast

15、es. Bulk density and flowability are, for technical reasons, of particular concern to the packer, who is the last party in the chain between the producer and the consumer able to exercise control over the physical characteristics of the product. It is appropriate, therefore, that these characteristi

16、cs of the product are left for agreement between the supplier and the packer. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for instant tea in solid form. It does not apply to a) instant tea containing non-tea carbohydrates as bulking/filling agents (normally referred to as “filled inst

17、ant tea”); b) preparations of instant tea containing added aromatic material unless these are derived exclusively from the plant Camellia sinensis; c) decaffeinated instant tea. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provis

18、ions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standard

21、those varieties of the species Camellia sinensis (Linnaeus) O. Kuntze exclusively which are known to be suitable for making tea for consumption as a beverage, and the residue, if any, of permitted process aids and permitted food additives 4 Sampling Sampling shall have been carried out in accordance

22、 with ISO7516. 5 Chemical characteristics Instant tea in solid form shall comply with the requirements given in Table 1. Instant tea in solid form shall comply with the requirements of relevant legislation dealing with food additives and process aids and their residues, if any, in the product. NOTE

23、1The colour and clarity of the liquor prepared from instant tea in solid form and the methods of determining them are subject to agreement between the supplier and the packer.BS7390:1990 2 BSI 01-2000 NOTE 2Requirements for free-flow and compacted bulk densities, and for flowability, are subject to

24、agreement between the supplier and the packer. Test methods for determination of the free-flow and compacted bulk densities are given in ISO6770:1982, Instant tea Determination of free-flow and compacted bulk densities.

25、 Test methods The samples of instant tea shall have been analysed to ensure conformity with the requirements of this International Standard using the test methods specified in the International Standards referred to in Table 1. 7 Marking The packages of instant tea shall be marked in accordance with

26、 any relevant legal requirements. NOTE 3The packages may carry additional marking as required by the packer or any other organization responsible for marketing the instant tea.
