Animal feeding stuffs - Enzymatic determination of total starch content (ISO 15914:2004)

ISO 15914:2004 specifies a method for the enzymatic determination of the total starch content of animal feeding stuffs and raw materials for animal feeding stuffs.
The method is also applicable to the determination of starch in starch.
It is important that in the sample matrix no components are present which contribute to the measured extinction at 340 nm.
The analytical range of the method is 40 g/kg to 1 000 g/kg starch. The standard procedure is applicable to the range 200 g/kg to 1000 g/kg. For the lower range, 40 g/kg to 200 g/kg, another dilution procedure for the standard glucose solution and samples can be used.

Futtermittel - Enzymatische Bestimmung von Stärke (ISO 15914:2004)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur enzymatischen Bestimmung des Gesamtstärkegehalts in Futtermitteln und Rohmaterialien für Futtermittel fest.
Dieses Verfahren ist auch zur Reinheitsbestimmung der Stärke anwendbar.
Es ist wichtig, dass in der Probenmatrix keine Bestandteile enthalten sind, die bei der Absorption, die bei 340 nm gemessen wird, erfasst werden.
Der Messbereich des Verfahrens liegt bei 40 g/kg bis 1 000 g/kg Stärke. Das Standardverfahren ist anwendbar auf den Bereich von 200 g/kg bis 1 000 g/kg. Für den niedrigeren Bereich von 40 g/kg bis 200 g/kg kann ein anderes Auflösungsverfahren für die Glucosestandardlösung und Proben angewendet werden.

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.

Animal feeding stuffs — Enzymatic determination of total starch
content
1 Scope
This international Standard specifies a method for the enzymatic determination of the total starch content of
animal feeding stuffs and raw materials for animal feeding stuffs.
The method is also applicable to the determination of the purity of starch.
It is important that in the sample matrix no components are present which contribute to the measured
extinction at 340 nm.
The analytical range of the method is 40 g/kg to 1 000 g/kg starch. The standard procedure is applicable to
the range 200 g/kg to 1000 g/kg. For the lower range, 40 g/kg to 200 g/kg, another dilution procedure for the
standard glucose solution and samples can be used.

4 Principle
The milled test sample is extracted with 40 % ethanol to remove the soluble sugars. Sample disintegration
and starch solubilization is achieved by dispersing the extracted test portion in aqueous DMSO (90 % volume
fraction) at 100 °C, followed by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid at 60 °C. The solubilized and
dissolved starch is quantitatively converted into glucose by the enzyme amyloglucosidase. The glucose
quantification is carried out by the well-known hexokinase method (see [1], [2]).
5 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade.
5.1 Water, complying with at least grade 3 in accordance with ISO 3696:1987.
5.2 Ethanol (C H OH), 40 % (volume fraction)
2 5
