16、aper and board, intended to be in contact with food, may have characteristic odour that can migrate via the airspace to the food packed in it. The purpose of testing the odour of paper and board is to establish whether the material to be tested possesses an inherent odour when kept at room temperatu
17、re. In order to gain reliable results from the sensory evaluation, the performance of a sensory panel assessing the odour of paper and board needs to be validated. This can be implemented through a training procedure by using spiked calibration samples prepared according to the given instructions. T
18、his document consists of: protocol to prepare the calibration samples (spiked paper) for sensory evaluation of odour; description of the training procedure for a sensory panel in the use of the calibration samples; instructions for sensory evaluation of calibration samples before and after training.
19、 This guide is meant to be used in connection with the European Standard EN 1230-1. The guidance given in this document is only a recommendation. Please note that the calibration samples, the preparation of which is described, can be also applied in other ways than described in this document. This g
20、uide has been devised and collaboratively tested in the context of the EU research project CALIBSENSORY (Growth programme, Measurement and Testing activity, GRD2-2000-30015) and it is the sole responsibility of its authors. It does in no way represent the views of the Commission or its services. Pub
21、lished results of the project are available at http:/www1.kcl.fi/euproj/calib.html . CEN/TR 15645-1:20086 1 Scope This Technical Report specifies a written protocol to prepare calibration samples for assessment of odour released by a paper or board sample, and how to train the panel in the use of th
22、ese calibration samples. The general outline of the testing procedure consists of sensory assessment of the odour samples without formal training by a selected panel, followed by training of the panel, and finally sensory assessment of the odour samples after training by the same sensory panel. 2 No

30、e paper with spiking compounds 4 Principle A training process validation for a sensory panel has to be conducted with freshly made calibration samples, prepared by spiking an odourless base paper with different concentrations of hexanal. The panel performance in evaluating the odour intensity of hex
31、anal is determined before and after a formal training step. The effectiveness of training can then be determined. The test procedure consists of 3 steps: a) first step: assessment of calibration samples before training; b) second step: training procedure; c) third step: assessment of calibration sam
32、ples after training. Detailed instructions for general test procedure, sample preparation and sensory evaluation are provided within this Technical Report, and must be carefully followed to ensure validity of results. CEN/TR 15645-1:20088 5 Materials and reagents 5.1 General Odourless base paper is
33、used as a carrier for different concentrations of the spiking compound diluted with the solvent. In this Technical Report, hexanal is used as the spiking compound and triacetin as the solvent. 5.2 Base paper The base paper used in the odour test shall be suitable for food use. The paper shall respec
34、t the following criteria: odourless porous. One example for the base paper is coffee filter paper made of bleached chemical pulp, including wet strength resin and grammage of approximately 52 g/m2. 5.3 Spiking compound Hexanal (CAS number 66-25-1, 98 %) is used as the spiking agent in the odour test
35、. The odour of hexanal is described as being green, fruity, bitter and grassy. Hexanal is often found in rancid fats (in foods) and in fibre-based materials. 5.4 Solvent Triacetin (CAS number 102-76-1) shall be used as a solvent for diluting the spiking compound. It is assessed to be almost odourles
36、s, and related to its other characteristics, suitable for this purpose. 6 Equipment 6.1 General All equipment used shall be free from odour and only in use for sensory analysis (see ISO 6658). Special care is required to ensure that lids, seals and inserts do not become a source of odour. Equipment
37、and glass flasks shall be cleaned between sessions. Any glassware used shall be washed with minimum-odour cleaning agents and dried by placement in oven at a temperature 100 oC and left to evaporate for at least 2 h. All other equipment shall be washed with minimum-odour cleaning agents and left to
38、dry at room temperature. 6.2 Micro-syringes Micro-syringes in capacity from 20 l to 100 l. 6.3 Glass flasks Glass flasks in 500 ml in capacity. The shape of the flask is not as essential as the volume. Brown glass bottles with lids of polytetrafluorethylen or Erlenmeyer flasks with narrow neck and c
39、onical ground joint and stopper may be used. CEN/TR 15645-1:20089 The flasks (if needed) are covered by aluminium foil for preventing the influence of the appearance of the sample. Each sample is served to each assessor in a separate flask, therefore 5 flasks are required for each assessors at each
40、session. 6.4 Aluminium foil Aluminium foil used for wrapping the glass flasks (if needed) shall be free from odour. 7 Preparation of calibration samples 7.1 General Prepare for each five sessions five samples: the reference sample plus four samples for assessment. These are summarised, along with th
41、eir concentrations, in table 1. Table 1 Calibration samples and concentrations of hexanal (g hexanal/paper sample) sample g/sample reference 0 N 0 (control sample) 0 N 1 0,04 N 2 0,80 N 3 8,0 For the three spiked samples, base paper should be spiked at various concentrations of hexanal diluted in tr
42、iacetin, the concentrations being 0,04 g, 0,8 g and 8 g hexanal/sample. The reference (given reference) and control samples (hidden reference) shall be odour flasks with base paper and triacetin but without hexanal. For each of the five samples, the number of prepared test portions (flasks) has to b
43、e equal to the number of assessors on the panel, the recommended panel size varying between 10 and 12. The flasks should be covered with aluminium foil and coded with three-digit random numbers prior to preparing the individual test portions. These have to be presented individually to each assessor.
44、 Examples for blinding codes and experimental designs for each session are presented in the annexes. 7.2 Preparation of the spiking solutions 7.2.1 General The following sets of stock solutions will be needed. Stock solution K can be used over three consecutive days only. The other stock solution K
45、2 and the batch solutions for each sample have to be freshly made each day. 7.2.2 Stock solution K (800 mg/l) Dissolve 80 mg (100 l) of hexanal in about 50 ml of triacetin, then fill up with triacetin to make total volume of 100 ml. Stock solution K has to be stored at + 4 C, and can be used for thr
46、ee consecutive days. CEN/TR 15645-1:200810 7.2.3 Solution K2 (40 mg/l) Dilute 1 ml of stock solution K in 20 ml of triacetin (i.e. 1 ml K/20 ml triacetin). Stock solution K2 has to be stored at + 4 C and shall be prepared daily. 7.2.4 Spiking solutions To create batch solutions for the spiked sample
47、s, dilute solution K 2 as presented in Table 2. Table 2 Preparation of batch solutions for spiking the calibration samples sample K 2 ml triacetin ml description N1 0,1 9,9 to create a batch of N1 solution, dilute 0.1 ml of K 2 stock solution with 9.9 ml triacetin N2 1 4 to create a batch of N2 solu
48、tion, dilute 1 ml of K 2 stock solution with 4 ml triacetin K, ml N3 1 9 to create a batch of N3 solution, dilute 1 ml of K stock solution with 9 ml triacetin Sample batches for N1 to N3 shall be prepared daily. The reference and control samples, also presented to the assessors during the sensory as
49、sessment, will be prepared using triacetin without any added hexanal. 7.3 Preparation of calibration samples The sample flasks should be prepared in a completely odourfree space (see ISO 6658). To prepare the calibration samples the following scheme has to be followed: 1) Reference test paper must first be prepared by cutting into squares of 1 dm (10 cm 10 cm) cm. For each session, five pieces of test paper (each 1 dm) for each assessor (one for each sample) will be needed. 2) Reference test paper (1 dm) shall be folded in dou
