22、tariat of which is 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a routine reference method for the determination of the moisture content of cereals and cereal products. This International Standard applies to: wheat, rice (paddy, husked and milled), barley, millet (Panicum miliaceum), rye, oats, tri
23、ticale, sorghum in the form of grains, milled grains, semolina or flour. The method is not applicable to maize and pulses. NOTE For moisture content determination in maize, see ISO 65405; and for pulses, see ISO 245577. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms a
24、nd definitions apply. 2.1 moisture content mass loss undergone by a product under the conditions specified in this International Standard NOTE Moisture content is expressed as a percentage. 3 Principle If necessary, a laboratory sample is ground, after conditioning, if required. A test portion is dr
25、ied at a temperature between 130 C and 133 C, under conditions which enable a result to be obtained which corresponds to that obtained by the absolute method described in Annex B. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 0,001 g. 4.2 Grinding mill, having the followi
26、ng characteristics: a) made of material which does not absorb moisture; b) easy to clean and having as little dead space as possible; c) enabling grinding to be carried out rapidly and uniformly, without appreciable development of heat (difference of temperatures before and after grinding smaller th
27、an or equal to 5 C); NOTE A grinding mill fitted with a cooling device can comply with this requirement. d) tightness to air to avoid water exchange between sample and external air; e) adjustable so as to obtain particles of the dimensions indicated in Table 1. DIN EN ISO 712:2010-04 EN ISO 712:2009
28、 (E) 4 4.3 Metal dish, non-corrodible under the test conditions, or glass dish, with a lid and having an effective surface area enabling the test portion to be distributed so as to give a mass per unit area of not more than 0,3 g/cm2. 4.4 Constant-temperature oven, electrically heated, controlled in
29、 such a way that, during normal working, the temperature of the air and of the shelves carrying the test portions is maintained within the range 130 C to 133 C in the vicinity of the test portions. The oven shall have a heat capacity such that, when initially adjusted to a temperature of 131 C, it c
30、an regain this temperature in less than 30 min after insertion of the maximum number of test portions that can be dried simultaneously. The effectiveness of the ventilation shall be determined using durum wheat semolina, of maximum particle size of 1 mm, as the test material. The ventilation shall b
31、e such that, after insertion of the maximum number of test portions that the oven can accommodate, and drying at a temperature of 130 C to 133 C, the results, after heating the same test portions for 2 h and then for a further 1 h, do not differ by more than 0,15 g of moisture per 100 g of sample. 4
32、.5 Desiccator, containing an effective desiccant. 5 Sampling Sampling is not part of the method specified in this International Standard. A recommended sampling method is given in ISO 243336. A representative sample, in an airtight packaging, should have been sent to the laboratory. It should not ha
33、ve been damaged or changed during transport or storage. 6 Preparation of the test sample 6.1 Products not requiring grinding Products having particle size characteristics indicated in Table 1 do not need to be ground before the determination. Mix the laboratory sample thoroughly before taking the te
34、st portion (7.2). Table 1 Particle size characteristics of products not requiring grinding Particle size characteristics mm Proportion % u 1,7 (1,8)a100 1,0 (1,0)bu 10 0,5 (0,56)aW 50 a Nominal size of openings, ISO 3310-11, that does not retain this particle size. b Nominal size of openings, ISO 33

DIN EN ISO 712:2010-04 EN ISO 712:2009 (E) 5 6.2 Products requiring grinding 6.2.1 General If the products do not have the particle size characteristics mentioned in Table 1, they shall be ground either without preconditioning (6.2.2) or with preconditioning (
36、6.2.3), as required. 6.2.2 Grinding without preconditioning For products that are not likely to undergo variations in moisture content during grinding (in general, products with a moisture content between 9 % and 15 %), grind without preconditioning. NOTE The range of moisture contents given for con
37、ditioning products before grinding corresponds approximately in the laboratory to a temperature of 20 C and a relative humidity of 40 % to 70 %. Adjust the grinding mill (4.2) to obtain particles of the dimensions indicated in Table 1. Then, quickly grind a quantity of the laboratory sample accordin
38、g to the apparatus used and at least slightly greater than that required for the test portion (about 5 g), and immediately proceed in accordance with 7.2. 6.2.3 Grinding with preconditioning Products which are likely to undergo changes in moisture content during the course of grinding (in general, p
39、roducts with a moisture content greater than 15 % or less than 9 %) shall be preconditioned so as to bring their moisture content to between 9 % and 15 % before grinding. If the moisture content is more than 15 % (the most frequent case), weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, a sufficient quantity of the l
40、aboratory sample to provide a test portion slightly greater than 5 g (see 6.2.2). Record the mass of the test portion before preconditioning and dish as m2. Pre-dry in accordance with 7.3, except that the time of heating in the oven (4.4) shall be 7 min to 10 min and the product shall be cooled to l
41、aboratory temperature with the dish (4.3) uncovered and without a desiccator, for at least 2 h. NOTE It is possible that these times are not be suitable for all products, e.g. paddy rice. For products having moisture contents of less than 9 %, weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, a sufficient quantity of
42、the laboratory sample to provide a test portion slightly greater than 5 g (see 6.2.2). Record the mass of the test portion before preconditioning and dish as m2. Place in a suitable atmosphere (generally that of the laboratory) and leave until a moisture content within the limits indicated above is
43、obtained. After conditioning, weigh the sample to the nearest 0,001 g. Record the mass of the test portion after preconditioning and dish as m3. Grind immediately, adjusting the grinder so as to obtain particles of the dimensions indicated in Table 1, and immediately proceed in accordance with 6.2.2
44、. 7 Procedure 7.1 Number of determinations Carry out separate determinations on two test portions taken from the laboratory sample in accordance with 7.2 and 7.3. If the absolute difference between the two values obtained is greater than the repeatability limit given in Clause 9, repeat the determin
45、ation until requirements are satisfied. 7.2 Test portion Rapidly weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, a quantity of 5 g 1 g of the laboratory sample (6.2.2 or 6.2.3) in the dish (4.3). Record the mass of the undried test portion and dish as m0. Previously dry and tare the dish, together with its lid, and
46、record the mass, md, to the nearest 0,001 g. DIN EN ISO 712:2010-04 EN ISO 712:2009 (E) 6 7.3 Drying Place the open dish containing the test portion (7.2), together with the lid, in the oven (4.4) and leave for 120 min 5 min (90 min for flours). In certain cases and particularly in hot and dry count
47、ries, the drying period may be reduced to 60 min 5 min, which is sufficient time for the test portions to attain constant mass. Review these times regularly. Do not open the door of the oven during drying and do not place moist products in the oven before removing the dry test portions, as this will
48、 result in partial rehydration of the latter. After drying, quickly remove the dish from the oven, cover, and place in the desiccator (4.5). When several tests are being carried out, never place dishes on top of one another in the desiccator, but place them side by side. 7.4 Weighing When the dish h
49、as cooled to laboratory temperature (generally between 30 min and 45 min after it has been placed in the desiccator), weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Record the mass of the dried test portion and dish as m1. 8 Expression of results 8.1 Without preconditioning The moisture content, wH2O, expressed in grams per 100 g of the product as received, is given by: 12HO01 100mw m= where m0= m0 mdis the mass, in grams, of the test portion (7.2); m1= m1 mdis the mass, in grams, of the test portion after drying (7.4).
