Foreword
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. 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
International 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 Standards
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 subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9233-1|IDF 140-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 5,
Milk and milk products and the International Dairy Federation (IDF) and is being published jointly by ISO and
IDF.
This first edition of ISO 9233-1|IDF 140-1, together with ISO 9233-2|IDF 140-2, cancel and replace the first
edition of ISO 9233:1991, which has been technically revised.
ISO 9233|IDF 140 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cheese, cheese rind and processed

Foreword
IDF (the International Dairy Federation) is a worldwide federation of the dairy sector with a National
Committee in every member country. Every National Committee has the right to be represented on the IDF
Standing Committees carrying out the technical work. IDF collaborates with ISO in the development of
standard methods of analysis and sampling for milk and milk products.Draft International Standards adopted
by the Action Teams and Standing Committees are circulated to the National Committees for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 50% of IDF National Committees
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IDF shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9233-1|IDF 140-1 was prepared by the International Dairy Federation (IDF) and Technical Committee
ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 5, Milk and milk products and is being published jointly by IDF
and ISO.
All work was carried out by the Joint ISO-IDF Action Team on Selected food additives and vitamins of the
Standing Committee on Analytical methods for additives and contaminants under the aegis of its project
leader, Mr. M. Carl (DE).
This first edition of ISO 9233-1|IDF 140-1, together with ISO 9233-2|IDF 140-2, cancel and replace the first

IDF 140-1:2007(E)
Cheese, cheese rind and processed cheese — Determination
of natamycin content —
Part 1:
Molecular absorption spectrometric method for cheese rind
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9233|IDF 140 specifies a method for the determination in cheese rind of natamycin mass
fraction of above 0,5 mg/kg and surface-area-related natamycin mass of above 0,03 mg/dm .
NOTE It is possible that the method may be suitable for detecting migration of natamycin into the cheese.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
natamycin content
mass fraction of substances determined by the procedure specified in this part of ISO 9233|IDF 140
NOTE The natamycin content is expressed in milligrams per kilogram.
2.2
surface-area-related natamycin mass in cheese rind
surface-area-related mass of substances determined by the procedure specified in this part of
ISO 9233|IDF 140
NOTE The surface-area-related natamycin mass is expressed in milligrams of natamycin per square decimetre of
cheese rind.
2.3
cheese rind
outer layer of the cheese of thickness 5 mm, excluding the coating layer, if present.
3 Principle
A known quantity of sample is extracted with methanol. The extract is diluted with water followed by cooling to
between −15 °C and −20 °C to precipitate most of the fat, followed by filtration. The natamycin content or
surface-area-related natamycin mass is determined in the filtrate (after concentration, if necessary) by
molecular absorption spectrometry.

4 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, unless otherwise specified, and only distilled or
demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
4.1 Methanol (CH OH).
4.2 Methanol, aqueous solution.
Mix 2 volumes of methanol (4.1) with 1 volume of water.
4.3 Natamycin standard solutions.
4.3.1 Natamycin standard stock solution, of concentration 500 mg/l.
Immediately before use, dissolve in methanol (4.1) a quantity of a natamycin preparation of known natamycin
content, corresponding to 50 mg of pure natamycin (C H NO ), in a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask (5.1).
33 47 13
Make up to the mark with water and mix.
4.3.2 Natamycin standard working solution, of concentration 5 mg/l.
Pipette 5,0 ml of natamycin standard stock solution (4.3.1) into a 50 ml one-mark volumetric flask (5.1). Dilute
to the mark with aqueous methanol (4.2) and mix.
Pipette 5,0 ml of the thus diluted solution into another 50 ml one-mark volumetric flask (5.1). Dilute to the mark
with aqueous methanol (4.2) and mix. The concentration of this natamycin standard working solution is
5 µg/ml.
This concentration shall be close to that of the test solution measured in 8.3.3. Adjust the standard working
dilution by pipetting and diluting another quantity, if required.
5 Apparatus
Usual laboratory equipment and, in particular, the following.
5.1 One-mark volumetric flasks, of capacities 50 ml and 100 ml.
5.2 Slicer or similar apparatus, capable of cutting cheese portions of thickness 5 mm and of width about
30 mm (Figure A.1 shows an example).
5.3 Fine slicer, capable of cutting thin cheese slices of maximum thickness 1 mm (Figure A.2 shows an
example).
5.4 Grinder or blender.
5.5 Sharp knife, capable of cutting cheese slices into small pieces.
5.6 Magnetic stirrer or shaking machine.
5.7 Conical flasks, of capacities 100 ml and 200 ml, made of coloured glass and fitted with ground-glass
stoppers.
5.8 Syringes, disposable, of capacity 10 ml.
