Overview

ISO 22994:2021 specifies a routine laboratory method - the sea sand method - for determining the dry matter content of liquid or pasty coffee extracts. Intended for quality control and analytical laboratories, the standard defines sample preparation, required apparatus and reagents, the drying procedure in a vacuum oven, calculation of results and reporting requirements.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope: Applicable to liquid and pasty coffee extracts; designed as a routine method for dry matter determination.
• Principle: Mix the sample with acid‑cleaned, annealed sea sand and dry to constant weight in a vacuum oven (70 ± 2 °C for 16 h, ~131 mbar). Determine dry residue by mass loss.
• Apparatus & reagents:
  • Analytical balance (accuracy 0.1 mg)
  • Vacuum oven, low weighing vessels with lids or metal trays, desiccator, stirring rod
  • Sea sand (analytical grade) and grade 1 water (ISO 3696) if needed for mixing
• Sample preparation: Use a representative, homogenized sample. Frozen extracts are typically defrosted and mixed so insoluble dry components at room temperature are included.
• Procedure parameters: Typical sea sand mass 25–30 g per vessel; weigh a test portion such that the dry matter corresponds to 0.1–1.0 g; avoid lumps/crusts; cool in desiccator before weighing.
• Calculation & reporting: Dry matter reported as mass fraction (g/100 g) with specified rounding (single determinations to 0.01 %). Test reports should follow ISO/IEC 17025 reporting principles and include sample ID, method reference (ISO 22994:2021), test dates and any deviations.
• Repeatability: The standard sets minimum repeatability expectations - e.g., the method can statistically differentiate two samples (10–60 % dry matter) differing by 0.5 % at P = 95 % (≈ ±0.25 % variation).

Applications and Who Uses It

• Coffee processors and extract manufacturers for product specification and batch control.
• Quality control and testing laboratories performing routine compositional analysis of coffee extracts.
• R&D teams evaluating extraction efficiency and formulation changes.
• Regulatory agencies and contract testing bodies requiring standardized, comparable dry matter results.

Keywords: ISO 22994:2021, coffee extracts, dry matter content, sea sand method, vacuum oven, laboratory method, liquid coffee extracts, pasty coffee extracts.

Related Standards

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).
