Rice - Determination of amylose content - Part 1: Spectrophotometric method with a defatting procedure by methanol and with calibration solutions of potato amylose and waxy rice amylopectin (ISO 6647-1:2020)

This document specifies a reference method for the determination of the amylose content of milled rice,
non-parboiled. The method is applicable to rice with an amylose mass fraction higher than 5 %.
This document can also be used for husked rice, maize, millet and other cereals if the extension of this
scope has been validated by the user.
NOTE Amylose values determined with this document can be compared with PDO and PGI legislation.

Dieses Dokument legt ein Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung des Amylosegehalts von gemahlenem Nicht-Parboiled-Reis fest. Das Verfahren ist anwendbar auf Reis mit einem Amylose-Massenanteil von mehr als 5 %.
Dieses Dokument kann auch für geschälten Reis, Mais, Hirse und andere Getreidearten angewendet werden, wenn die Erweiterung dieses Anwendungsbereichs von dem Anwender überprüft wurde.
ANMERKUNG Mit diesem Dokument bestimmte Amylose-Werte können mit den Rechtsvorschriften der geschützten Ursprungsbezeichnung (g. U., en: Protected Designation of Origin, PDO) und der geschützten geografischen Angabe (g. g. A., en: Protected Geographical Indication, PGI) verglichen werden.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de référence pour la détermination de la teneur en amylose du riz usiné, non étuvé. La méthode est applicable à du riz avec une fraction massique d'amylose supérieure à 5 %.
Le présent document peut aussi être utilisé pour le riz décortiqué, le maïs, le millet et d'autres céréales si l'extension de son domaine d'application a été validée par l'utilisateur.
NOTE    Les valeurs de teneur en amylose déterminées selon le présent document peuvent être comparées à la législation AOP et IGP.

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).

4 Principle
Rice is ground to a very fine flour to break up the endosperm structure in order to aid complete
dispersion and gelatinization; the flour is then defatted. A test portion is dispersed in a sodium
hydroxide solution, to an aliquot portion of which an iodine solution is added. The absorbance, at 720
nm, of the colour complex formed is then determined using a spectrophotometer.
The amylose mass fraction of the sample is then read from a calibration graph, which is prepared using
mixtures of potato amylose and amylopectin to make allowance for the effect of amylopectin on the
colour of the amylose–iodine complex of the test solution.
5 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, unless otherwise specified, and distilled or
demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
5.1 Methanol, a volume fraction of 85 %.
5.2 Ethanol, a volume fraction of 95 %.
5.3 Sodium hydroxide dispersal solutions.
5.3.1 Sodium hydroxide, 1 mol/l solution.
5.3.2 Sodium hydroxide, 0,09 mol/l solution.
5.4 Deproteination solutions
5.4.1 Detergent solution
Dissolve sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate corresponding to a concentration of 20 g/l. Just before use,
add sodium sulfite to a final concentration of 2 g/l.
5.4.2 Sodium hydroxide, for protein removal, 3 g/l solution.
5.5 Acetic acid, 1 mol/l solution.
5.6 lodine solution
Weigh, to the nearest 5 mg, 2,000 g of potassium iodide in a weighing bottle fitted with a stopper. Add
sufficient water to form a saturated solution. Add 0,200 g of iodine, weighed to the nearest 1 mg. When
all the iodine has dissolved, transfer the solution quantitatively to a 100 ml volumetric flask (6.6), make
up to volume with water and mix.
Prepare a fresh solution on each day of use and protect it from light.
5.7 Stock potato amylose suspension, free of amylopectin, 1 g/l.
5.7.1 Defat the potato amylose by refluxing with methanol (5.1) for 4 h to 6 h in an extractor at a rate of
5 to 6 droplets per second.
The potato amylose should be pure and should be tested by amperometric or potentiometric titration.
Some commercial preparations are impure and would give erroneously high results for the amylose
