Wheat, rye and their flours, durum wheat and durum wheat semolina - Determination of the falling number according to Hagberg-Perten (ISO 3093:2009)

This International Standard specifies the determination of the a-amylase activity of cereals by the falling number (FN) method according to Hagberg-Perten. This method is applicable to cereal grains, in particular to wheat and rye and their flours, durum wheat and its semolina. This method is not applicable to the determination of low levels of a-amylase activity. By converting the FN into a liquefaction number (LN), it is possible to use this method to estimate the composition of mixtures of grain, flour or semolina with known FNs necessary to produce a sample of a required FN.

Weizen, Roggen und deren Mehl, Hartweizen und Hartweizengrieß - Bestimmung der Fallzahl nach Hagberg-Perten (ISO 3093:2009)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die Bestimmung der a-Amylaseaktivität von Getreide mit dem Fallzahl-(FN)-Verfahren nach Hagberg-Perten fest.
Dieses Verfahren ist auf Getreidesorten anwendbar, insbesondere auf Weizen und Roggen und deren Mehl, Hartweizen und Hartweizengrieß.
Das Verfahren ist nicht für die Bestimmung von geringen a-Amylaseaktivitäten anwendbar.
Durch Umwandlung der Fallzahl (FN) in eine Verflüssigungszahl (LN) ist es möglich, dieses Verfahren zum Abschätzen der Zusammensetzung von Gemischen aus Getreide, Mehl oder Grieß mit bekannten Fallzahl-werten anzuwenden, das zum Herstellen einer Probe mit der geforderten Fallzahl notwendig ist.

Blés tendres, seigles et leurs farines, blés durs et leurs semoules - Détermination de l'indice de chute selon Hagberg-Perten (ISO 3093:2009)

L'ISO 3093:2009 spécifie la détermination du niveau d'activité alpha-amylasique des céréales par la méthode dite de l'indice de chute (IC) selon Hagberg-Perten.
Cette méthode est applicable aux céréales en grains, en particulier au blé tendre et au seigle, et leurs farines, ainsi qu'au blé dur et ses semoules.
Cette méthode ne s'applique pas à la détermination des faibles niveaux d'activité alpha-amylasique.
Par conversion de l'IC en nombre de liquéfaction (NL), la méthode permet également d'estimer la composition de mélanges de grains, farines ou semoules d'IC connus nécessaire pour obtenir un produit d'IC déterminé.

Pšenica, rž in njune moke, pšenica durum in pšenični zdrob durum - Ugotavljanje števila padanja po Hagberg-Pertenu (ISO 3093:2009)

Ta mednarodni standard določa ugotavljanje aktivnosti a-amilaze v žitu z metodo števila padanja (FN) po Hagberg-Pertenu. Ta metoda velja za žitna zrna, zlasti za pšenico, rž in njune moke, pšenico durum in njen zdrob. Ta metoda ne velja za ugotavljanje nizkih ravni aktivnosti a-amilaze. S pretvorbo FN v število utekočinjanja (LN) se ta metoda lahko uporabi za oceno sestave mešanic zrn, moke ali zdroba z znanimi števili padanja, ki je potrebna za pripravo vzorca z zahtevanim številom padanja.

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.
ISO draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of a
patent concerning the falling number apparatus specified in 6.1.
ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured the ISO that he is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable
and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the
statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with the ISO. Information may be obtained from:

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3093:2009(E)

Wheat, rye and their flours, durum wheat and durum wheat
semolina — Determination of the falling number according to
Hagberg-Perten
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the determination of the a-amylase activity of cereals by the falling
number (FN) method according to Hagberg-Perten.
This method is applicable to cereal grains, in particular to wheat and rye and their flours, durum wheat and its
semolina.
This method is not applicable to the determination of low levels of a-amylase activity.
By converting the FN into a liquefaction number (LN), it is possible to use this method to estimate the
composition of mixtures of grain, flour or semolina with known FNs necessary to produce a sample of a
required FN.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 712, Cereals and cereal products — Determination of moisture content — Reference method
ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
falling number
FN
t
total time required to activate a viscometer stirrer and allow it to fall a predetermined distance through an
aqueous gel prepared from heating a mixture of flour or semolina, and water in a viscometer tube, and which
is undergoing liquefaction due to attack by the enzyme a-amylase
NOTE 1 Time is counted from immersion in the water bath.
NOTE 2 The falling number is expressed in seconds.

3.2
liquefaction number
LN
n
L
result of a simple calculation to convert the falling number (3.1) into a value used to estimate the composition
of mixtures of grain, flour or semolina necessary to produce a sample of the required falling number
NOTE LNs, unlike FNs, are additive.
4 Principle
The a-amylase activity is estimated using the starch present in the sample as a substrate. The determination
is based on the ability of an aqueous suspension of flour, semolina or wholemeal cereal product to gelatinize
rapidly in a boiling water bath, and on the measurement of starch liquefaction by the a-amylase present in the
sample.
Liquefaction affects the thickness of the starch gel and, hence, the resistance to the viscometer stirrer and the
time taken for it to fall a defined distance.
5 Reagents
5.1 Water, produced by distillation or demineralization, complying with ISO 3696, grade 3.
6 Apparatus
Usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following.
1)
6.1 Apparatus for FN determination , comprising the following components.
6.1.1 Water bath, with integral heating unit, cooling system and water level indicator.
6.1.2 Electronic timer.
6.1.3 Viscometer stirrer, metallic, able to move freely within the ebonite stopper.
Its rods shall be straight and the wheels free from distortion and wear.
6.1.4 Precision viscometer tubes, manufactured from special glass, with the following dimensions:
⎯ inner diameter: 21,00 mm ± 0,02 mm;
⎯ outer diameter: 23,80 mm ± 0,25 mm;
⎯ inner height: 220,0 mm ± 0,3 mm.
6.1.5 Rubber stoppers, to fit the viscometer tubes.
[4]
6.2 Automatic dispenser or pipette, ISO 8655-2 , allowing a volume of 25,0 ml ± 0,2 ml to be delivered.

1) The “Falling Number” apparatus having a specifically designed viscometer stirrer produced by Perten Instruments is
an example of a suitable device available commercially. This device forms the subject of a patent. This information is
given for the convenience of users of this International Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this
product.
