9、muqiva ece malfem BSISO65612:2005 ii BSISO65612:2005 iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees
10、. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the Intern
11、ational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Sta
12、ndards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subj
13、ect of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 6561-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 3, Fruit and vegetable products. This first edition of ISO 6561-2, together with ISO 6561-1:2004, cancels an
14、d replaces ISO 6561:1983, which has been technically revised. ISO 6561 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fruits, vegetables and derived products Determination of cadmium content: Part 1: Method using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry Part 2: Method using flame at

16、hod for the determination of the cadmium content of fruits, vegetables and derived products. NOTE The method of cadmium determination in fruit, vegetables and derived products is based on AOAC Official Methods of Analysis 1 . 2 Principle This method is based on the decomposition of organic matter wi

24、 Analytical balance. 5 Sampling A representative sample should have been sent to the laboratory. It should not have been damaged or changed during transport or storage. Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 6561. If there is no specific International Standard dealing with
25、the product concerned, it is recommended that the parties concerned come to an agreement on the subject. BSISO65612:2005 36 Procedure 6.1 Preparation of test sample Mix well the laboratory sample, if necessary, first remove any seeds, stalks and hard seed-cavity walls, and then grind in the mechanic
26、al grinder (4.1). Frozen or deep-frozen products shall be previously thawed in a closed vessel, and the liquid formed during this process shall be added to the product before mixing. 6.2 Test portion Weigh, to the nearest 0,01 g, 50 g of the test sample (6.1) into a 1 500 ml round-bottom flask (4.2)
27、. 6.3 Decomposition If the test portion contains ethanol, first remove the ethanol by evaporation. Add several boiling chips or beads and carefully add 25 ml of nitric acid (3.1). Cover and warm gently using a burner or heating mantle (4.8) to initiate reaction. When reaction subsides, add 25 ml of
28、nitric acid (3.1), warm again and continue until 100 ml of nitric acid (3.1) has been added. Alternatively, add carefully 100 ml of nitric acid (3.1) to the test portion at once, and allow it to stand at room temperature overnight. Heat until most NO fumes have evolved; control excessive frothing by
29、 cooling or quenching with water from a washbottle. Add 20 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (3.2) to the solution. Dilute to approximately 300 ml with water and evaporate using a burner or heating mantle (4.8) until charring begins. When charring becomes extensive, cautiously add hydrogen peroxide (
30、3.4), 1 ml at a time. Let the reaction subside before adding the next portion of oxidant, and never add more than 1 ml at a time. Continue the addition of hydrogen peroxide until the solution is colourless. Heat vigorously to SO 3fumes, adding more hydrogen peroxide (3.4) as required, to remove char
31、. Heat vigorously to expel excess of hydrogen peroxide. Cool colourless digest to room temperature. 6.4 Blank test Carry out a blank test, using the same decomposition procedure as in 6.3, but replacing the test portion with a suitable amount of water corresponding to the amount of test portion take
32、n for analysis (6.2). 6.5 Extraction WARNING The method described in this subclause requires the use of chloroform, a toxic and ozone-depleting substance. Avoid inhalation of and exposure to this solvent. Work in a fume cupboard when handling this solvent and solutions thereof. Dispose of the waste
33、chloroform and solutions properly. Add 2 g of citric acid (3.5) to cooled digest of a sample or blank and cautiously dilute to about 25 ml with water. Add 1 ml of thymol blue indicator (3.7) and adjust to pH 8,8 by slowly adding ammonia solution (3.8), while cooling in ice bath, until the solution c
34、hanges from yellowish green to greenish blue. Transfer quantitatively to a 250 ml separator (4.6) with water, and dilute to about 150 ml. Cool the solution, and extract with two 5-ml portions of concentrated dithizone solution (3.10), shaking 1 min to 2 min each time. Continue extraction with 5-ml p
35、ortions of dilute dithizone solution (3.11) until the dithizone extract shows no change in colour. Combine the dithizone extracts in the 125 ml separator (4.6); wash with BSISO65612:20054 50 ml water, and transfer solvent to another 125 ml separator. Extract wash-water with 5 ml of chloroform (3.9)
36、and add to the dithizone extracts. Add 50 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid (3.3) to combined dithizone extracts, shake vigorously 1 min, and allow the layers to separate; discard the dithizone layer. Wash the aqueous solution with 5 ml of chloroform (3.9) and discard the chloroform. Quantitatively tra
37、nsfer the aqueous solution to a 400 ml beaker (4.3), add boiling chips, and evaporate carefully to dryness on the hot plate (4.9). Carefully rinse down sides of beaker with 10 ml to 20 ml of water and again evaporate to dryness. Dissolve the dry residue in 5,0 ml of hydrochloric acid solution (3.3).
38、 6.6 Determination 6.6.1 Preparation of the calibration graph Dilute the cadmium standard solution (3.12) with hydrochloric acid (3.3) to obtain four solutions with cadmium concentrations of 0,1 g/ml, 0,5 g/ml, 1,0 g/ml and 2,0 g/ml. Aspirate each of these solutions, in turn, into the flame of the s
39、pectrometer (4.7) using 4 times to 10 times expansion scale to obtain the maximum absorbance value for the solution having the cadmium concentration of 2,0 g/ml. Use hydrochloric acid (3.3) as a blank. Take care to keep the aspiration rate constant throughout the aspiration of each calibration solut
40、ion. Flush burner with water after each measurement. Record the corresponding values of absorbance and plot the calibration graph (absorbance against cadmium concentration in micrograms per millilitre). 6.6.2 Spectrometric measurement Set the instrument to the previously established optimum conditio
41、ns, using air-acetylene oxidizing flame and 228,8 nm resonant wavelength. Aspirate into the flame of the spectrometer (4.7) the test solution (6.5) and the blank solution (6.4), at the same aspiration rate as used for preparation of the calibration graph (6.6.1). Record the corresponding absorbances
42、. If the absorbance of the test solution is greater than for the highest standard solution used for preparation of the calibration graph (6.6.1), dilute the test solution with the hydrochloric acid (3.3) and measure the absorbance. 7 Calculation The cadmium content of the sample, expressed in millig
43、rams per kilogram, is equal to Blank () 5 cc F m (1) where c is the cadmium concentration, expressed in micrograms per millilitre, of the test solution, as read from the calibration graph; c Blankis the cadmium concentration, expressed in micrograms per millilitre, of the blank test solution, as rea
