6、999 Foreword This Part of BS 4585 has been prepared by Technical Committee AW/7. The International Standard ISO7543-2:1993 was taken into account during the preparation of this Part of BS4585. However, it was decided that the method described in ISO7543-2, which involves the use of tetrahydrofuran,
7、should not be adopted as a British Standard. This British Standard calls for the use of substances that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any
8、stage. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document com

14、m. 4 Reagents 4.1 General. Unless otherwise stated, use reagents of recognized analytical grade and water conforming to grade3 of BSENISO3696. NOTEReference should be made to the safety data sheets available with each reagent. 4.2 Methanol, HPLC grade. 4.3 Standard solution of capsaicinoids, prepare
15、d as follows. Weigh accurately 0.100g of capsaicin (8-methyl-n-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) (98% (m/m) crystalline) into a100ml one-mark volumetric flask containing about50ml of methanol. Stopper the flask, shake to dissolve, dilute to the mark with the methanol (4.2) and mix. WARNING. Capsaicin should be
16、 handled with extreme care as it is toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. It causes severe irritation. 4.4 Working standard solution, prepared as follows. Transfer by safety pipette5ml of the standard solution (4.3) to a50ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with th
17、e methanol (4.2) and mix. 4.5 Elution solvent, comprising0.5% (V/V) glacial acetic acid,49.5% (V/V) water, and50.0% (V/V) acetonitrile, prepared as follows. Add 10 ml of glacial acetic acid to990ml of water. Add1000ml of acetonitrile. De-gas before use. 4.6 Acid-washed sand 5 Apparatus 5.1 Usual lab
18、oratory apparatus 5.2 Continuous extraction apparatus (Soxhlet type), fitted with a100ml flask. 5.3 Extraction thimbles 5.4 Membrane filters, with a pore size of0.024m. 5.5 Disposable syringe, of1ml capacity. 5.6 High-performance liquid chromatograph, equipped with a detector allowing measurements t
19、o be made at a wavelength of280nm, fitted to a recorder or integrator. 5.7 Chromatographic column for HPLC, of stainless steel,25cm long and with an inside diameter of0.4cm to0.5cm. Stationary phase: spherical silica with octadecyl functional group C 18and particle size of54m maximum. 5.8 Injection
20、system, comprising an injection valve with a204l loop, or other system giving the same injection accuracy. 5.9 Test sieve, with an aperture size of5004m, conforming to BS410. 5.10 Filter paper, Whatman no.541 or similar. 6 Sampling Sampling shall have been carried out in accordance with BS4540-1. 7
21、Preparation of test sample 7.1 Chillies in powder form 7.1.1 Check that the laboratory sample passes through the test sieve (5.9). If this is not the case, grind the powder in accordance with BS4540-2 until the required particle size is obtained. NOTESufficient material should be prepared, e.g. a to
22、tal of50g for a moisture determination.BS4585-18:1996 2 BSI 08-1999 7.1.2 From the test sample prepared in accordance with7.1.1, weigh, into the extraction thimble (5.3), to the nearest0.001g, between1g and5g, depending on the expected capsaicin content of the sample (record the mass), and mix with
23、an equal volume of the acid-washed sand (4.6). Extract for6h to8h in the continuous extraction apparatus(5.2), using80ml of the methanol (4.2). Cool the extract and filter it through a filter paper(5.10) into a100ml one-mark volumetric flask, washing the flask and the filter with the methanol. Dilut
24、e to the mark with the methanol and mix. 7.2 Whole chillies Grind the laboratory sample in accordance with BS4540-2 and proceed as described in7.1.2. 7.3 Oleoresins of chillies Thoroughly homogenize the laboratory sample. Weigh, to the nearest0.001g,1g of the oleoresin into a100ml one-mark volumetri
25、c flask. Dilute to the mark with the methanol (4.2) and mix. 8 Procedure 8.1 Chilli extract and oleoresin solution Using the disposable syringe (5.5) and a membrane filter (5.4), transfer1ml to2ml of the solution prepared in accordance with7.1.2 or7.3 to a small tube. Stopper the tube to prevent eva
26、poration of the solvent. The test solution shall be clear. If this is not the case, refilter it through a membrane filter (5.4). 8.2 Determination 8.2.1 Set up the chromatograph (5.6) and the column (5.7) in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Using the injection system (5.8), inject254l
27、 of the working standard solution (4.4) into the column. Commercial capsaicin yields four peaks: nordihydrocapsaicin (C 1 ), capsaicin (C 2 ), dihydrocapsaicin (C 3 ) and homodihydrocapsaicin (C 4 ). Record the results (peak areas). Inject a further254l of the working standard solution (4.4). Record
28、 these results. The second set of results should not deviate from the first by more than5%. 8.2.2 Repeat the operations given in8.2.1 using the methanolic extract of chilli. If the peak areas of the first set of these results deviate by more than5% from those of the second set of results, repeat the
29、 determination. Use the mean of these results for the calculation in clause9. NOTEThe determination should be repeated until the results do not deviate by more than5%. 8.2.3 Determine the moisture content, expressed as a percentage by mass of the test sample, in accordance with BS4585-2. 9 Expressio
30、n of results The total capsaicinoid content, expressed as a percentage by mass of the dry matter, is given by the following formula: where C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , and C 4are the peak areas of nordihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin of the test sample solution. c is the co
31、ncentration of the standard solution(4.3) (ing/100ml); S 1 , S 2 , S 3 , and S 4are the peak areas of nordihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin of the standard solution (4.4); c 2is the concentration of the test sample solution (ing/100ml) (see7.1.2); H is the moistur
32、e content, expressed as a percentage by mass of the test sample, determined in accordance with BS4585-2. To convert percentage capsaicinoids to Scoville units, use the following formula: 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a complete identification of the sampl
33、e; b) a reference to this British Standard, i.e.BS4585-18:1996; c) the total capsaicinoid content, expressed as a percentage by mass of the dry matter and/or in Scoville units; d) details of any incidents during the determination which may have influenced the results; e) any operations not included
