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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
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.
ISO 762 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 3, Fruit and
vegetable products.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 762:1982), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 762:2003(E)

Fruit and vegetable products — Determination of mineral
impurities content
1 Scope
This international Standard specifies a method for the determination of the mineral impurities content
(impurities generally originating from the soil) of fruit and vegetable products.
2 Principle
Organic matter is separated by flotation and heavy impurities are separated by sedimentation. The sediment
is incinerated at approximately 525 °C, and the residue obtained is weighed.
3 Apparatus
Usual laboratory equipment and, in particular, the following.
3.1 Blender.
3.2 Beakers, of capacities 1 000 ml.
1)
3.3 Filter paper, Whatman No. 41 or equivalent.
3.4 Incineration dishes, made of quartz, porcelain or platinum.
3.5 Muffle furnace, capable of being maintained at 525 °C ± 25 °C.
3.6 Desiccator, provided with an efficient desiccant.
3.7 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,000 2 g.
3.8 Heater, gas or electric.
3.9 Sieve, of pore size ca. 1 mm to 2 mm.
3.10 Stirring rod.
3.11 Washing equipment, for washing out the impurities (see Figure 1).

1) Whatman No. 41 is an example of a suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the
convenience of users of this International Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this product.

4 Preparation of test sample
4.1 General case
Before taking the test portion, thoroughly mix the entire laboratory sample using, if necessary, the blender
(3.1). Allow frozen or deep frozen products to thaw in a closed vessel and add the liquid formed during this
process to the product before mixing.
4.2 Dried products
Mix the laboratory sample well. Weigh 20 g ± 0,1 g of the product, transfer it to a beaker (3.2) and add 400 ml
of filtered tap water. Bring to the boil, then leave overnight at room temperature to allow the product to
rehydrate.
