5、rincipleA specimen is prepared for microscopic examination of the pollen grains suspended in the honey. A certainnumber of pollen grains is identified and the proportion of the individual pollen species is calculated as apercentage of the total content.4 Reagents4.1 GeneralSince the method described

6、 here is not an analysis, but a count of specific plant cells (pollen grains), noparticular purity requirements are specified for the reagents used, except for water, which shall be distilled.The term solution as used in this standard shall be understood to be an aqueous solution.4.2 Glycerol gelati

10、 the sampling procedure shall be agreed upon.A representative laboratory sample of not less than 200 g shall be taken for the examination.7 Procedure7.1 Sample preparation7.1.1 Pure liquid or set honeyAdequately homogenize the laboratory sample by stirring it vigorously for not less than three minut

11、es, takingcare to minimize the amount of air included, especially if the sample is also to be used to determinehydroxymethylfurfural.7.1.2 Impure liquid or set honeyAfter removing coarse impurities, stir the honey at ambient temperature until smooth and pass it through a screen(as in subclause 5.2),

12、 using a spatula in the case of set honey.7.1.3 Comb honeyDe-cap the combs if still capped, then separate the honey completely from the combs without heating, usinga screen (as in subclause 5.2).7.2 Preparation of specimens7.2.1 Weigh 10 g into a centrifuge tube (as in subclause 5.4). To dissolve th

13、e honey, add 20 ml of cold distilledwater or distilled water at not more than 40 C.Centrifuge the solution at 1000 g for ten minutes, then pour off the supernatant and add a further 20 ml of distilledwater in order to dissolve the sugar crystals in the honey completely. Use a microspatula when doing

14、 this in orderto reach the tip of the centrifuge tube or use a Pasteur pipette to swirl up the mixture. Then centrifuge for fiveminutes at 1000 g.Decant the supernatant, keeping the centrifuge tube tilted downwards in order to allow as much as possible ofthe remaining liquid to drain on an absorbent

15、 paper.Heat a hotplate to 40 C and liquefy glycerol gelatin as embedding medium by heating either in a water bath atnot more than 40 C or on the hotplate. Preheat the microscope slides on the hotplate.7.2.2 Thoroughly swirl up the sediment with a Pasteur pipette. Use the pipette to transfer the sedi

16、ment to amicroscope slide and spread the sediment over an area of 22 mm G180 22 mm with a microspatula.NOTE: 22 mm is almost the width of the microscope slide and it is advisable to mark out the area over whichthe sediment is to be spread, using with a waterproof pen or a template.Page 3DIN 10760 :

17、2002-05Leave the microscope slide on the hotplate for up to one hour until the sediment is completely dry.After preheating a cover plate on the hotplate, transfer a drop of glycerol gelatin to it and form a large crossdiagonally with it. This holds the pollen in position while the cover glass is low

18、ered on the dried sediment, thisbeing done very slowly to prevent air bubbles forming.Do not place the drop of glycerol gelatin directly on the dried sediment.Leave the specimen on the hotplate for five minutes in order to ensure a good distribution of the glycerol gelatinand a perfect swelling of t

19、he pollen.Allow the gelatin to solidify before starting the microscope examination.7.2.3 As an alternative to the procedure described in subclause 7.2.2, suspend the sediment in 1 ml of distilledwater. Swirl up the sediment with a pipette, remove 0,5 ml and spread the latter on a microscope slide. S

20、preada further 0,3 ml and then 0,2 ml of the sediment on separate slides. Use the first specimen (0,5 ml) for normalpollen analysis, the second specimen (0,3 ml) for pollen analysis in the case of very pollen-rich honey and thethird specimen (0,2 ml) for yeast counting and pollen counting in the cas

21、e of extremely pollen-rich honey. Thisprocedure makes it possible to determine the absolute pollen content.The subsequent procedure shall be as described in subclause 7.2.2.7.3 Pollen countingChoose the magnification that results in a manageable number of pollen grains in each field of view. After a

22、preliminary check to identify the pollen species present, determine the quantities of important pollens bycounting at least 500 cumulatively in steps of 100. If the result fluctuates, increase the number of grains counted.Distribute fields of view and counting paths uniformly over the specimen.Count

23、 the pollen using the matrix in figure 1 to obtain a representative result.Figure 1: Pollen counting matrixDistribute counting stops as evenly as possible over the entire width, i.e. over a row of sediment. Using a counterof the type specified in subclause 5.12, count 100 pollen grains in each of fi

24、ve rows distributed evenly over thesediment, as shown in figure 1, to give a total count of 500. To obtain a total count of 1000, insert a further fiverows between the first five rows. Ignore any pollen concentrations due to bee bread.NOTE: Bee bread is pollen stored by bees in comb cells.The interv

25、als at which the counting stops have to be set will depend on the pollen content of the honey, i.e. thedensity of pollen in the specimen, and on the size of the microscope field of view. In the case of very low-pollenhoney it may be necessary to count an uninterrupted line.Provided the count stabili

26、zes, only 500 pollen grains need be counted. Report the result as a percentage.8 Evaluation8.1 CalculationCalculate the relative pollen content for the required plant species, Xp, as a percentage, using the followingequation:nAX100=p (2)where n is the total pollen content.Count 100 pollen in this ro
