3、at the surface of the earth (9,81 m/s2). 4 Principle The carbon contained in the pulp is quantitatively combusted into carbon dioxide. The ratio of the two stable carbon isotopes (13C and 12C) is then measured using a isotope ratio mass spectrometer. This value can then be compared with the value ob
4、tained for the sugars (as determined using EM/ 12140). If there is too large a difference between the value in the pulp and the sugars this can indicate the addition of sugars derived from a C, plant such as cane or com. 5 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only water in a

6、ce with a precision of 0,05 % or better expressed as relative 6 value (see 8) (one measuring cycle with ten integration periods). Isotope ratio mass spectrometer, with the ability to determine the 1% content of CO, gas The mass-spectrometer will generally be fitted with a triple collector to simulta
7、neous register at mass number 44,45 and 46. The mass spectrometer should be fMed either with a dual inlet system, for alternately measuring the unknown sample and a standard, or use an on-line system which combusts the sample in an elemental analyser (6.2) followed by gas chromatographic separation
8、of the combustion products prior to isotopic mass spectrometric determination. The former method offers the highest accuracy for the determination of variations of the isotope content in the range of the natural abundance. However, correct results can also be obtained using the on-line method provid
9、ed a secondary standard is used. 6.2 Combustion apparatus (elemental analyser), which can quantitatively converts all the carbon of the sample into carbon dioxide (CO,), and which is able to convert all nitrous oxides formed, during the oxidation process, into nitrogen gas and to remove all other co
10、mbustion products, including water, from the CO,. 6.3 Centrifuge, capable of producing a centrifugal acceleration of 1 400 g at the base of the centrifuge tube (6.4). NOTE : The rotational frequency required to give correct centrifugal acceleration can be calculated from the following equation : a =
11、 11,18 e r - (n/l OOO)* (1) where : a is the centrifugal acceleration ; r is the radius of the centrifuge in centimetres, measured from the mid point (the centrifuge axis) to the bottom of the centrifuge tube when swung out ; n is the rotational frequency per minute. Page 6 ENV 13070: 1998 6.4 Centr
12、ifuge tubes, of 50 ml capacity. 7 Procedure 7.1 Preparation of the test sample 50 ml of fruit juice (natural or reconstituted) is centrifuged at 1 400 g for 10 min to separate the uspended solids (pulp). To remove any adhering sugars the centrifugate is washed with water. To achieve this the pellet
13、is resuspended in 40 ml of water and stirred for 5 min. This suspension is then recentrifuged and the water discarded. A fresh aliquot of water is added and the process is repeated. A further aliquot of water is used in the third and final wash with water. After this third wash, with water, the pulp
14、 is resuspended in 40 mi of acetone to extract any lipid material. After stimng in acetone the pulp is centrifuged as given above and the pulp separated from the solvent. A fresh aliquot of acetone is added and the process repeated twice more. To obtain meaningful results it is essential that both t
15、he water and acetone washes are carried thoroughly. This ensures that ail the occluded sugars and lipid materials are removed. If the pulp is not properly washed the lipid material will cause a significant negative shift in the 81% content of the pulp. The pulp after washing, as described above, is
16、finally dried under vacuum which gives a white/gray solid which can be easily homogenised. 7.2 Combustion of pulp Combust the samples obtained using the procedures given in 7.1 using the procedure for sugars described in ENV 12140:1996. Care should be taken to ensure that there is a quantitative red
17、uction of all the nitrous oxides formed, from the nitrogen containing compounds in the pulp, during the combustion stage. If this is not achieved nitrous oxide will be present in the carbon dioxide gas and this will contribute to the intensity of the mass 46 ion. This will lead to an incorrect corre
18、ction for oxygen 17 and so give a too low carbon 13 content of the pulp. NOTE : Suitable microcombustion systems are commercially available. 7.3 Determination The 1%/12C isotope ratio in the carbon dioxide obtained from the combustion of the pulp, as described in 7.2, is determined with the aid of a
19、n isotope ratio mass spectrometer (6.1). Determine the ratio for the isotopic species 13CO#*C02 from the corresponding intensities.

20、ed delta value (6) is also used as an alternative system of units for indicating isotope content. Delta values are used exclusively for indicating variations (on the third decimal place) in the natural isotopic abundance. Express the SW values as the relative difference per thousand between the 13C
21、and 12C ratios of a sample in relation to a standard, the Pee Dee Belemnite from South Carolina-USA (the PDB standard). This is a fossil calcium carbonate with an isotope ratio (13C/12C),DB = 0,0112372 for the emitted CO,. This value is the reference point of the common international PDB scale for 6
22、13C values expressed in parts per thousand (%o) which are calculated using the following equation : A suitable secondary standard for routine use in this method is NBS 22 obtained from Intemational Atomic Energy Agency (IAM1), Vienna), which has a 6% value of - 29,80 %o relative to PDB. 9 Precision
23、Details of the interlaboratory test on the precision of the method are summarized in annex B. The values derived from interlaboratory test may not be applicable to analysis of concentration ranges and matrices other than those given in annex 8. 9.1 Repeatability The absolute difference between two s
