21、cum annuum L.) originates from South America. The plant arrived in Europe after the discovery of the American continent (1492) and spread across the world in subsequent centuries. Until the turn of the 19th century, the pungent ground (powdered) paprika was mainly known as a medicine. Shepherds used

22、 it as a spice, and this use became wider when cultivation of the sweet (non-pungent) varieties was developed. Ground paprika plays an important role mainly in those countries where so-called fatty meals are preferred. The taste and natural colouring compounds of ground paprika improve the hedonic v

23、alue of this type of meal. In addition, part of the natural carotene content of paprika is provitamin A, therefore the natural unsaturated oil content has a heart stimulant effect and the pungent varieties promote digestion. Food industries use ground paprika in large amounts when producing meat pro

24、ducts such as salamis and sausages. It is also used as a spice constituent of dried soups and is added to cheese, chips and spice mixtures. 4DIN EN ISO 7540:2010-05 EN ISO 7540:2006 (E) 1 Scope This International Standard defines the requirements for ground paprika. A method for the determination of

25、 the moisture content of ground paprika is given in Annex A. Recommendations relative to storage and transport conditions are given in Annex B. A list of terms used in different countries for paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) is given in Annex C. This International Standard is not applicable to ground ch

31、ns 4.1 Description Ground paprika is the product obtained by grinding the ripe dried fruits of different varieties of Capsicum (e.g. Capsicum annuum L. var. longum, Capsicum annuum L. var. grossum, Capsicum annuum L. var. abbreviatum, Capsicum annuum L. var. typicum) of the Solanaceae plant family.

32、Ground paprika is prepared from the pericarp and the seeds of the paprika fruit. It may contain a variable amount of other parts of the fruit, such as the placenta, the calyx and the stalk. The colour of ground paprika varies, according to its quality, from vivid brilliant red through yellowish and

33、brownish-red to pale reddish-brown. Additives (see 3.2), allowed in accordance with the regulations of the target country and after agreement between buyer and seller (antioxidants, anti-caking agents, etc.), may be introduced into the ground paprika. In that case, the final product shall be labelle

34、d in accordance with current regulations. Figure 1 Hanging and standing-up types of fruits of Capsicum annuum L. 4.2 Taste and odour The taste of ground paprika can be pungent or free from pungency; its odour shall be pleasantly aromatic. Ground paprika shall be free of any off-tastes and off-odours

35、, in particular musty or rancid ones, and from any foreign tastes and odours. 6DIN EN ISO 7540:2010-05 EN ISO 7540:2006 (E) 4.3 Presence of insects, moulds, etc. Ground paprika shall be free from living insects, and practically free from dead insects, insect fragments, rodent contamination and mould

36、s visible to the naked eye. 4.4 Extraneous matter The proportion of permissible extraneous matter (see 3.1) present in the ground paprika shall be determined by microscopic examination in accordance with the method described in ISO 7542 and shall form the subject of an agreement between the buyer an

37、d the seller. 4.5 Adulterants The ground paprika shall be free from adulterants (see 3.3). 4.6 Quality categories Ground paprika is mainly graded as a function of its colour, which can be the extractable colour, expressed in ASTA2)colour units according to ISO 7541, or the visible colour, assessed b

42、o ascertain their conformity to the specifications of this International Standard by following the test methods referred to in 4.6 and Table 1. 6 Contaminants The Codex Alimentarius Commission has not yet published provisions for maximum limits of contaminants (heavy metals, pesticide residues, myco

43、toxins, etc.) of ground paprika. However, progress in this field is continuous, therefore it is advisable to check whether or not new limit(s) for contaminant(s) is/are published. The European Commission (EC) regulated the maximum levels of some mycotoxins as follows: 5,0 g aflatoxin B1per kilogram

44、of ground paprika and 10,0 g total aflatoxin per kilogram of ground paprika1, 2. However, national regulation in various other countries may be different from the EC regulation, so it is advisable to take into account the relevant food safety legislation in force in the target country in delivery co
