It describes a method of determination given in clause 2 of BS
5、5086:1974. A new Part 5 describes the remaining method given in BS 5086:1974 (determination of salt content) and that standard is therefore superseded and withdrawn. The maximum permissible amount of water in butter is governed by legislation 1)and consequently there is a need during manufacture and
6、 blending for a method for determination of the water content in the shortest possible time consistent with accuracy. This standard, which allows for the use of special-purpose balances designed for the determination of water in butter, describes a method based on one which has been developed and us
7、ed for a number of years in butter factories. The method is described in basic outline in the knowledge that adjustment of time schedules may be necessary to conform to the overall time limitation imposed by the requirements of any particular factory, and with the object of providing a method which
8、can be more rapidly carried out by the analyst than can the corresponding method described in Part 2 of this standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with
9、a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

The
12、 method is applicable to all types of butter. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Principle A known mass of butter is heated under controlled conditions in an open vessel to evaporate the volatile constituents and the loss in mass is
13、 determined. 3 Sampling Take a representative sample of the butter to be tested using, where appropriate, the procedures described in Part 1 of this standard. NOTEIn the routine rapid examination of butter the sample is not normally “creamed”. If “creaming” is necessary for a particular application,
14、 the procedure descrived in 5.2 of Part1:1984 for the preparation of the sample should be used. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 5 mg. This may be a balance specially designed for determination of the water content of butter. 4.2 Beaker, metal, of such dimensions that l
15、osses through spurting or frothing are avoided. It is recommended that the minimum diameter should be 60 mm and the minimum height should be60mm. 4.3 Heating apparatus. A spirit burner, bunsen burner, or electric hot-plate, is suitable. 4.4 Beaker tongs, to hold the beaker by its outer surface only.
16、 4.5 Glass stirring rod, of suitable dimensions, for use if a hot-plate or a bunsen flame with a gauze is used to heat the beaker. 5 Procedure 5.1 Dry and weigh the metal beaker (together with the stirring rod, if used). Weigh into the beaker 9 g to 11 g of butter (see note 1) with an accuracy of 10
17、mg. 5.2 Heat the beaker and contents, agitating continuously and taking care to control the heating and agitation so that losses through spurting are avoided. This operation may be carried out, for example: a) by swirling the beaker, using the tongs, in a bunsen flame; b) by heating on wire gauze wi
18、th a ceramic centre, over a low bunsen flame, stirring with the glass rod; c) by heating on a hot-plate, stirring with the glass rod. 5.3 When the stage is reached at which there is a tendency for the heated butter to froth, slow down the rate of heating. Stop the heating when the colour of the non-
19、fatty solids changes from creamy-white to yellow-brown (see note 2). 5.4 Cool the beaker to the desired temperature (seenotes 3 and 4). Weigh the beaker and contents (including the stirring rod, if used) and record the loss in mass. NOTES to clause 5. NOTE 1The range permitted for the mass of the te
20、st portion accommodates the use of special-purpose butter balances. When using these the mass of butter should be that which gives the result either by direct reading of the balance scale or by the use of the appropriate nomogram. NOTE 2The correct end-point should be established on a range of butte
21、r samples by preliminary tests comparing the results with those obtained by the use of the reference method for determination of moisture content described in Part 2 of this standard. NOTE 3Cooling of the beaker and its contents may be accelerated by partial immersion in cold water followed by dryin
22、g the exterior of the beaker with a clean dry cloth. To prevent condensation of atmospheric moisture on the beaker do not cool below the ambient .air temperature. NOTE 4Where certain special-purpose balances are used and a correction has been previously determined, the beaker may be weighed without
23、cooling. 6 Expression of the result Calculate the result as follows. Percentage (m/m) water content where Express the result correct to one decimal place. 7 Repeatability The difference between the results (expressed in accordance with clause 6) of two determinations carried out in rapid succession
24、by the same analyst should not exceed 0.2 % absolute. 8 Test report The following information shall be included in the test report: a) the result, expressed in accordance with clause5; b) the number of this British Standard, i.e.BS5086-3; c) details of the sample identity. m 1 is the mass of butter
