Rice - Determination of amylose content - Part 2: Spectrophotometric routine method without defatting procedure and with calibration from rice standards (ISO 6647-2:2020)

This document specifies two simplified routine methods for the determination of the amylose mass
fraction of milled rice, non-parboiled. The main difference between the two methods is the dispersion
procedure: method A specifies hot dispersion, and method B specifies cold dispersion.
Both methods are applicable to rice with an amylose mass fraction higher than 5 %.
NOTE These methods describe simplified procedures for the preparation of samples, which are frequently
used in routine laboratories. The methods use the same reagents as the reference method (see ISO 6647-1), but
omit the defatting step. Rice samples where the amylose mass fraction has been determined by the reference
method are used as standards.

Reis - Bestimmung des Amylosegehalts - Teil 2: Routinemethode: Spektrophotometrische Routinemethode ohne Entfettungsverfahren und mit Kalibrierung nach Reisstandards (ISO 6647-2:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt zwei vereinfachte Routineverfahren zur Bestimmung des Amylose-Massenanteils von gemahlenem nicht-angekochten Reis fest. Der Hauptunterschied zwischen den beiden Verfahren besteht in der Vorgehensweise bei der Dispergierung: Verfahren A legt die Heiß-Dispergierung fest und Verfahren B legt die die Kalt-Dispergierung fest.
Beide Verfahren sind anwendbar auf Reis mit einem Amylose-Massenanteil von mehr als 5 %.
ANMERKUNG Diese Verfahren beschreiben vereinfachte Vorgehensweisen für die Herstellung von Proben, die in üblichen Laboratorien häufig genutzt werden. Die Verfahren nutzen als Referenzverfahren (siehe ISO 6647-1) dieselben Reagenzien, lassen jedoch den Schritt der Entfettung aus. Als Standards werden Reisproben genutzt, bei denen Amylose-Massenanteil mit dem Referenzverfahren bestimmt wurde.

Riz - Détermination de la teneur en amylose - Partie 2: Méthode spectrophotométrique de routine sans mode opératoire de dégraissage et avec étalonnage à l'aide d'étalons de riz (ISO 6647-2:2020)

Le présent document spécifie deux méthodes de routine simplifiées pour la détermination de la fraction massique d'amylose du riz usiné, non étuvé. La principale différence entre les deux méthodes est le mode opératoire de dispersion: la méthode A spécifie une dispersion à chaud et la méthode B spécifie une dispersion à froid.
Les deux méthodes sont applicables au riz avec une fraction massique d'amylose supérieure à 5 %.
NOTE    Ces méthodes décrivent des modes opératoires simplifiés pour la préparation d'échantillons, qui sont fréquemment utilisés en routine par les laboratoires. Les méthodes utilisent les mêmes réactifs que la méthode de référence (voir l'ISO 6647-1), mais omettent l'étape de dégraissage. Les échantillons de riz pour lesquels la fraction massique d'amylose a été déterminée par la méthode de référence sont utilisés comme étalons.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6647-2:2015), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared with the previous edition are as follows.
— The set of calibration solutions in ISO 6647-2:2015 were made by rice samples analysed by size
exclusion chromatography. In this document, the set of calibration solutions are made by rice
samples analysed by spectrophotometer UV-VIS, without delipidization.

4 Principle
Rice is ground to a very fine flour to break up the endosperm structure in order to aid complete
dispersion and gelatinization. A test portion is dispersed in a sodium hydroxide solution. An aliquot
portion is taken to which is added an iodine solution. The absorbance, at 720 nm, of the colour complex
formed is then determined using a spectrophotometer.
