8、2-11:1987 ii BSI 10-1999 National foreword This Part of BS5752 has been prepared under the direction of the Food and Agriculture Standards Committee. It embodies an agreement, to which the United Kingdom was a party, reached in Subcommittee15, Coffee, of Technical Committee34, Agricultural food prod
9、ucts, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This Part is identical with ISO8460:1987 “Instant coffee Determination of free-flow and compacted bulk densities”. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a
10、 British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used throughout as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full poin
11、t on the baseline as the decimal marker. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. The symbol “ml” has been used to denote millilitre. In British Standards it is current practice to use the symbol “mL”. A British Standa
12、rd does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Cross-references International Standard Corresponding Bri

16、instant coffee. Bulk density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume. The volume of a given sample of instant coffee varies, according to its history of handling, due to compaction (reversible) and powder breakdown (irreversible) effects. Bulk densities can be expressed in two ways: free-flow dens
17、ity and compacted density. Instant coffee is friable and subject to irreversible powder breakdown effects which may occur with repeated determinations of the compacted density. Because both bulk densities (and in particular the compacted density) depend so critically on the methods used for handling
18、, it is particularly important that the methods adopted for their measurement be as simple and as independent of the human factors as possible. It is also important that any mechanical apparatus needed is standardized, cheap, and easily available throughout those parts of the world where instant cof
19、fee is produced, blended, reprocessed and packed. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the bulk density of instant coffee: a) free-flow bulk density (section1); b) compacted bulk density (section2). 2 References ISO787-11, Genera

BS5752-11:1987 2 BSI 10-1999 Section 1. Determination of free-flow bulk density 3 Definition For the purposes of this Interna
21、tional Standard, the following definition applies. free-flow bulk density (of instant coffee) the ratio of the mass of instant coffee to the volume it occupies (mass per unit volume) after it has been poured freely into a receptacle under the conditions specified in this International Standard it is
22、 conventionally expressed in grams per millilitre 4 Principle Pouring a sample through a specified funnel into a specified receptacle of known volume and weighing the contents of the receptacle. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Balance, accurate to0,1g. 5.2 Apparatus for determination of free-flow bulk density, havi
23、ng the dimensions shown in Figure 1 and the arrangement shown in Figure 2, and consisting of the following parts. 5.2.1 Funnel, made of stainless steel, firmly mounted on a support attached to a rigid base. The exact dimensions shall conform to those given in Figure 1. 5.2.2 Measuring receptacle, cy
24、lindrical, made of stainless steel, of approximate capacity205ml. The capacity of the receptacle shall be known to the nearest millilitre. The exact dimensions shall conform to those given in Figure 1. The distance between the bottom of the funnel and the top of the receptacle shall be kept constant
25、 at40,0 1,5mm. 5.3 Spatula, or other suitable implement having a straight edge. 6 Sampling See ISO6670, in particular Annex B. 7 Procedure WARNING On account of the hygroscopic character of instant coffee, the determination should not be carried out in a humid atmosphere, for example higher than60%
26、relative humidity. The use of an effective dehumidification unit is therefore recommended. 7.1 Weigh the measuring receptacle(5.2.2) to the nearest0,1g. Pour the laboratory sample from its container into the funnel(5.2.1), allowing it to flow freely into the measuring receptacle(5.2.2) until the lat
27、ter overflows. Remove the excess instant coffee, using the spatula or other suitable implement(5.3) to form a plane surface level with the top of the measuring receptacle. Avoid moving, shaking or vibrating the measuring receptacle before the excess instant coffee has been removed. Remove the measur
28、ing receptacle and weigh the measuring receptacle and its contents to the nearest0,1g. 7.2 Carry out two determinations on the same laboratory sample or on two different laboratory samples if the size of the laboratory sample available is insufficient to carry out two separate determinations. 8 Expr
29、ession of results 8.1 Method of calculation and formula The free-flow bulk density, expressed in grams per millilitre, is equal to where m 1is the mass, in grams, of the measuring receptacle; m 2is the mass, in grams, of the measuring receptacle full of instant coffee; V is the capacity, in millilit
30、res, of the measuring receptacle. Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the values obtained in the two determinations(7.2), provided that the requirement for repeatability (see8.2) is satisfied. If it is not, the determinations shall be repeated. 8.2 Repeatability The difference between the valu
31、es obtained in the two determinations(7.2), carried out in rapid succession by the same operator on the same laboratory sample (however,see7.2) using the same apparatus, shall not exceed2% of the mean. 9 Test report The test report shall show the method used and the results obtained. It shall also m

33、52-11:1987 BSI 10-1999 3 Section 2. Determination of compacted bulk density 10 Definition For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies. compacted bulk density (of instant coffee) the ratio of the mass of instant coffee to the volume it occupies (mass per unit vol
34、ume) after it has been subjected to a fixed number of taps (usually300) under the conditions specified in this International Standard it is conventionally expressed in grams per millilitre 11 Principle Determination of the volume of a given mass of instant coffee after a fixed number of taps (usuall
35、y300) in a tapping volumeter. 12 Apparatus 12.1 Balance, accurate to0,1g. 12.2 Tapping volumeter, as specified in ISO787-11 (see also Figure 3), comprising the following parts. 12.2.1 Graduated measuring cylinder, made of glass, of capacity250ml and graduated in divisions of2ml. 12.2.2 Holder, for t
36、he measuring cylinder(12.2.1), with a shaft. 12.2.3 Cam, which lifts the shaft of the holder and the measuring cylinder once per revolution and which has a frequency of rotation of250 15min 1 . 12.2.4 Anvil, on which the raised shaft falls from a height of3 0,1mm. 12.2.5 Counter, to count the number
37、 of revolutions of the cam. 12.2.6 Sleeve, to guide the shaft, constructed of a suitable material to give minimum friction. 13 Sampling See ISO6670, in particular Annex B. 14 Procedure WARNING On account of the hygroscopic character of instant coffee, the determination should not be carried out in a
38、 humid atmosphere, for example higher than60% relative humidity. The use of an effective dehumidification unit is therefore recommended. 14.1 Set the tapping volumeter(12.2) to give300taps. Weigh25,0g of the laboratory sample to the nearest0,1g and transfer to the graduated measuring cylinder(12.2.1
39、). Attach the cylinder to the tapping volumeter by means of the holder(12.2.2), and allow the volumeter to tap300times. Read the volume of the instant coffee from the cylinder to the nearest2ml. 14.2 Carry out two determinations on the same laboratory sample. 14.3 In cases where it is suspected that
40、 the instant coffee may be subject to breakdown, the volume may be determined using a series of50tap sequences to establish whether there is a limiting minimum volume, or whether the volume diminishes continuously. In the latter case, record all the volumes measured. By agreement between the interes
41、ted parties, the compacted bulk density may be recorded as that derived from the volume after the first100taps or any other number of taps. 15 Expression of results 15.1 Method of calculation and formula The compacted bulk density, expressed in grams per millilitre, is equal to where m is the mass,
42、in grams, of the test portion; V is the volume, in millilitres, occupied by the test portion after compaction. Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the values obtained in the two determinations(14.2), provided that the requirement for repeatability (see15.2) is satisfied. If it is not, the dete
43、rminations shall be repeated. 15.2 Repeatability The difference between the values obtained in the two determinations(14.2), carried out in rapid succession by the same operator on the same laboratory sample using the same apparatus, shall not exceed2% of the mean. 16 Test report The test report sha
44、ll show the method used and the results obtained. It shall also mention any operating details not specified in this International Standard, or regarded as optional, together with details of any incidents likely to have influenced the results. The test report shall include all the information necessa
45、ry for the complete identification of the sample. m V -BS5752-11:1987 4 BSI 10-1999 Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the apparatus for determining free-flow bulk densityBS5752-11:1987 BSI 10-1999 5 Figure 2 Apparatus for determining free-flow bulk densityBS5752-11:1987 6 BSI 10-1999 Figure 3 Tapping vo
