SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 is the Slovenian adoption of EN ISO 11215:1998, an ISO gas chromatographic method for modified starch. It specifies how to determine total adipic acid content and free adipic acid content in acetylated di-starch adipates, so laboratories can also calculate bound adipic acid content by difference.

What does SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 specify?

SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 specifies a test method for acetylated di-starch adipates in the modified starch field. The method covers gas chromatographic determination of total adipic acid content and free adipic acid content, while sampling is explicitly outside the scope of the method itself.

The document is organized into clauses for scope, normative references, principle, reagents and materials, apparatus, sampling, preparation of test sample, procedure, expression of results, precision, and test report. It also includes informative annexes for chromatography conditions, a typical chromatogram, and interlaboratory precision data.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN ISO 11215:1999?

SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 is a laboratory method built around extraction, derivatization, and gas chromatography with an internal standard. In practice, the analyst prepares the sample in a controlled way, runs calibrations for both total and free adipic acid, and then calculates the result on a dry-mass basis.

Sample preparation and principle

Clause 3 states that total adipic acid is released from the starch with moderately concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, then acidified, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried, silylated, and injected into a gas chromatograph. Free adipic acid is determined by washing the starch with water, acidifying the extract, and extracting the acid into ethyl acetate before the same derivatization and chromatographic step. This means the laboratory must distinguish acid that is already free from acid that is released from the modified starch.

Clause 7 requires the laboratory sample to be sieved through 800 μm, or ground until it passes the sieve, and then homogenized. That step matters because uneven particle size can affect extraction and result repeatability.

Reagents, apparatus, and internal standard

Clause 4 requires analytical-grade reagents and named gases, including water meeting ISO 3696 grade 3 at minimum. Clause 5 requires, among other items, a gas chromatograph with a capillary column, flame ionization detector, on-column injector, and computer integrator. The method uses pimelic acid as the internal standard, which gives the calibration and sample peaks a common reference and helps reduce the effect of small injection differences.

Calibration, calculation, and reporting

Clause 8 sets out separate calibration and test procedures for total adipic acid and free adipic acid. The calibration uses waxy maize starch as the base material, with a note that another native starch may be used if appropriate. In practice, the analyst prepares a set of standards, checks retention times and peak areas, and builds a calibration graph from the adipic acid to pimelic acid peak area ratio.

Clause 8.5 requires moisture content to be determined in accordance with ISO 1666. Clause 9 then expresses the result as milligrams per kilogram of dry test sample and gives the bound adipic acid content as the difference between total and free adipic acid. This matters because users often need a result that is corrected for sample moisture and separated into free and bound fractions.

Precision and test report

Clause 10 provides repeatability and reproducibility limits, with precision data summarized from an interlaboratory trial in Annex C. Clause 11 requires the test report to identify the sample, state the sampling method if known, identify the test method, give the result, and note any optional details or incidents that may have affected the result. For quality control, this is the part that supports traceable reporting and comparison between laboratories.

What terms does SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 define?

  • Acetylated di-starch adipates - the starch derivatives being tested; the method measures adipic acid associated with this modified starch material.
  • Total adipic acid content - the amount measured after hydrolysis releases adipate from the starch, so it represents all adipic acid present in the sample.
  • Free adipic acid content - the adipic acid that can be extracted without hydrolyzing the starch-bound material.
  • Bound adipic acid content - the total adipic acid content minus the free adipic acid content, showing the portion linked in the modified starch structure.
  • Pimelic acid - the internal standard used to compare peak areas and improve the reliability of quantification.
  • BSTFA - bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, the silylation reagent used before gas chromatography.
  • TMCS - trimethylchlorosilane, included at 1 % in the BSTFA reagent.

Who uses SIST EN ISO 11215:1999?

SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 is used by analytical laboratories, starch manufacturers, and quality control teams working with modified starch and starch derivatives. It is also relevant to buyers and specifiers who need a defined method for verifying the adipic acid content of acetylated di-starch adipates. Third-party test labs use it when they need a common procedure for product release, incoming inspection, or dispute testing.

Which standards are used with SIST EN ISO 11215:1999?

  • ISO 1666:1996 - provides the oven-drying method for moisture content, which the calculation in clause 9 uses.
  • ISO 3696:1987 - specifies water for analytical laboratory use, supporting reagent preparation and extraction work.
  • ISO 5725:1986 - is used in Annex C for the statistical treatment of interlaboratory precision data.

What does the SIST EN ISO 11215:1999 document contain?

The document contains the full test workflow from sample preparation to reporting. It includes the calibration approach, extraction and derivatization steps, gas chromatography conditions, and the calculation route for total, free, and bound adipic acid.

Annex A gives a typical capillary-column GC setup and operating conditions, while Annex B shows a typical chromatogram for identifying the adipic acid and pimelic acid signals. Annex C summarizes an interlaboratory trial on acetylated di-starch adipates, which is useful when judging expected precision in routine testing. Annex D lists bibliographic references connected with the method and its precision work.

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.
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.
International Standard ISO 11215 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 93, Starch (including derivatives and by-products).
Annexes A to C of this International Standard are for information only.

ISO 1666:1996, Starch — Determination of moisture content — Oven-drying method
ISO 3696:1987, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods
3  Principle
The test portion is dispersed in moderately concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, to hydrolyse fully the adipate
from the starch. After acidification, the free adipic acid is extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate is removed,
and the dry residue is silylated. An aliquot portion of this solution is injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with
a capillary column. Pimelic acid is used as internal standard.
Free adipic acid is extracted by washing out the starch with water, acidifying the extract, and extracting the free acid
with ethyl acetate.
The determination is performed by silylation and gas chromatography as described above.
4  Reagents and materials
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade.
4.1 Water, complying with at least grade 3 in accordance with ISO 3696.
4.2 Waxy maize starch, commercial grade.
NOTE  Waxy maize starch is chosen as the base material, as it represents the bulk of starch adipate on the market. This may
be substituted with another native starch, if appropriate.

6  Sampling
It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and has not been damaged or
changed during transport or storage.
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this International Standard.
7  Preparation of test sample
Sieve the laboratory sample through the 800 μm sieve (5.9). If the material does not pass through the sieve, then
grind the sample with a blade mill (5.10) until it passes completely through the 800 μm sieve. Homogenize the
sample.
8  Procedure
8.1  Calibration for total adipic acid content
8.1.1 Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 mg, approximately 50 mg of waxy maize starch (4.2) into each of four glass
reaction tubes (5.1).
8.1.2 Into one tube, pipette (5.2) 1,00 ml of adipic acid solution (4.3) and into the others 0,75 ml, 0,50 ml and
0,25 ml, respectively, of adipic acid solution (4.3).
8.1.3 Adjust the volume in each tube to 1,5 ml with water (4.1) and add 1,00 ml of pimelic acid solution (4.4) to
each tube. Each tube then contains 50 μg of pimelic acid, and 50,0 μg, 37,5 μg, 25,0 μg and 12,5 μg respectively of
adipic acid.
NOTE  It is possible that pimelic acid contains some adipic acid. If this is proven, a fifth tube should be prepared in a similar
fashion but without addition of adipic acid solution (4.3).
8.1.4 Agitate the tubes manually to disperse the starch fully. Add 2,5 ml of sodium hydroxide solution (4.5).
8.1.5 Seal the tubes well and place on the rotary shaker (5.3) for 5 min.
8.1.6 Remove the tubes and, with cooling, add 1,0 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.6). Mix well.
8.1.7 Add 5 ml of ethyl acetate (4.7). Seal the tubes tightly and shake vigorously for 1 min.
8.1.8 Let the tubes stand until good phase separation is achieved. With a Pasteur pipette (5.4), transfer the
supernatant layer (ethyl acetate) to a clean screw-top tube.
Make sure that none of the aqueous layer is carried over with the organic layer.
8.1.9 Place the tubes in the heating device (5.5) set at 30 °C, and evaporate the ethyl acetate completely under a
stream of nitrogen (4.8) with the evaporation device (5.6).
8.1.10 Repeat steps 8.1.7 to 8.1.9 three times more, accumulating the dried residue in the same tube.
8.1.11 Dissolve the total residue in 0,6 ml of acetonitrile (4.9) and place the closed tubes in the ultrasonic bath
(5.7) for 2 min.
8.1.12 Add 0,3 ml of the silylation reagent (4.10). Close the tubes and homogenize in the ultrasonic bath for 2 min.
8.1.13 Place the tubes in the heating device (5.5) set at 30 °C, for 30 min to complete derivatization.
