Spices and condiments — Preparation of a ground sample for analysis
Basis for this method is the laboratory sample obtained by the method specified in ISO 948. The principle of determination consists in grinding the laboratory sample, which has been previously mixed, to obtain particles of the size specified in the International Standard appropriate to the spice or condiment concerned or, if not so specified, to obtain particles of size approximately 1 mm.

Overview
ISO/FDIS 2825:2026, Spices and condiments - Preparation of a ground sample for analysis, sets out a standardized method for preparing ground samples of spices and condiments for analytical purposes. Developed by ISO/TC 34/SC 7, this International Standard ensures a systematic approach to grinding laboratory samples-originally obtained as specified in ISO 948-to an appropriate particle size that supports accurate analytical results. This guideline applies to a wide range of spices and condiments, contributing to the consistency and reliability of laboratory testing in the food industry.
Key Topics
- Laboratory Sample Preparation: The standard covers procedures for mixing and grinding samples, ensuring the representativeness and uniformity required for subsequent analysis.
- Grinding Method: Specifies use of a grinding mill made of moisture-resistant material, designed for easy cleaning, minimal dead space, and adjustable to the required particle size-either as defined in related standards or approximately 1 mm if not specified.
- Sample Integrity: Emphasizes grinding immediately before analysis to preserve sample characteristics and accuracy of results.
- Equipment Requirements: Details needed features for grinding apparatus and sample containers to prevent contamination, moisture absorption, and sample loss.
- Adaptability: Recognizes the diversity among spices and condiments, allowing for modifications in special cases (e.g., spices with high oil or moisture content), as indicated in relevant International Standards.
Applications
ISO/FDIS 2825 offers practical benefits for laboratories, food processors, and quality control professionals involved with spices and condiments:
- Quality Assurance in Food Laboratories: Supports reproducibility of analytical test results by providing a clear and standardized grinding method for sample preparation.
- Regulatory Compliance: Assists organizations in meeting food safety, labeling, and export requirements where ground sample analysis is required.
- Product Development: Enables consistent ingredient analysis for manufacturers developing spice blends, seasonings, and condiments, ensuring product quality and safety.
- Trade and Inspection: Facilitates international trade by harmonizing sample preparation methods, aiding in product inspection and verifying conformance with specification standards.
- Scientific Research: Provides researchers with a reliable method for preparing homogeneous samples for chemical, microbiological, and organoleptic analysis.
Related Standards
For comprehensive and harmonized procedures, consider referring to these standards related to the preparation and analysis of spices and condiments:
ISO 948: Spices and condiments - Sampling
Specifies methods for obtaining a representative laboratory sample, which is a prerequisite step to the procedures in ISO/FDIS 2825.Other relevant ISO Standards for individual spices and condiments
Where specific physical properties or analytical requirements must be met, consult the International Standard appropriate to the particular spice or condiment.
By integrating ISO/FDIS 2825 with related ISO standards, organizations can optimize their sample preparation protocols and ensure credible, comparable analytical data in the spices and condiments sector.
