67.220.20 - Food additives

This European Standard specifies an isotopic method to control the authenticity of wine vinegar. This method is applicable on wine vinegar in order to characterise the 18O/16O ratio of water, and allows differentiating wine vinegar from vinegars made from raisins or alcohol vinegar.

This European Standard specifies an isotopic method to control the authenticity of vinegar. This method is applicable on acetic acid of vinegar (from wine, cider, agricultural alcohol, etc.) in order to characterise the botanical origin of acetic acid and to detect adulterations of vinegar using synthetic acetic acid or acetic acid from a non-allowed origin (together with the method described in EN 16466-2). The isotopic analysis of the extracted acetic acid by 2H-NMR is based on a similar metho...view more

This European standard specifies definitions, requirements and marking for vinegar (product made from liquids of agricultural origin).

This European standard specifies definitions, requirements and marking for acetic acid food grade (product made from materials of non-agricultural origin).

Applicable to products having Ca contents equal to or more than 50 mg/kg. The presence of soluble SiO2 up to 5 g/ml in the test solution does not interfere. Hydrolysis by boiling a test portion in hydrochloric acid medium. Addition of sodium ions, until a constant concentration is obtained, to stabilize the promotion and emission of Ca; addition of lanthanum chloride to increase the sensitivity of the method. Aspiration of the solution into a dinitrogen monoxide-acetylene flame. Spectrometric me...view more

Applicable to products having a Ca content of more than 50 mg/kg. Soluble SiO2 present in the solution at levels lower than 5 g/ml does not interfere. The principle consists in addition, to a hydrochloric acid solution of the test portion, of sodium ions to promote and stabilize the emission of calcium and of lanthanum ions to suppress the interference of aluminium. Specifies the aspiration of the solution into an acetylene-dinitrogen monoxide flame. Photometric measurement of the absorption of ...view more

Applicable to products whether or not they are homogeneous and whether or not they contain polyphosphoric acids. Specifies preliminary hydrolysis of the polyphosphoric acids by boiling in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The precipitation of the phosphoric acid is carried out in the form of quinoline phosphomolybdate in the presence of acetone. Filtration by a filter crucible, washing, drying and weighing of the precipitate.

Applicable to products the F content of which is equal to or more than 0.5 mg/kg. Specifies the separation of the element from a test portion by steam distillation in a phosphoric acid medium. Formation of a blue-coloured complex with a combined reagent alizarin complexone/lanthanum nitrate in a buffered medium at the pH of 4.6. Addition of acetone to increase the stability of the complex and the sensitivity. Photometric measurement of the complex at a wavelength of about 600 nm.
