INTRODUCTION
Quality Guidelines for High Fructose Syrup 42 and 55 and their associated Analytical
Procedures were developed by a committee comprised of representatives from both the
Beverage industry and the High Fructose Syrup (HFS) industry.

This document has been prepared to provide general guidance to manufacturers of


beverages and suppliers of HFS on the key characteristics for the quality and purity of
HFS as used as a food ingredient in beverages. Individual needs, however, may dictate
the application of other requirements which, should be agreed to by both the HFS
suppliers and HFS customers.

These voluntary guidelines are also intended to provide assistance to domestic and
international HFS suppliers and users in achieving compliance with certain aspects of
applicable regulatory standards such as Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), United States
Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)
Affirmation 21CFR 184.1866, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), as well as some
local governmental requirements.

All manufacturers of beverages that use HFS are encouraged to use syrups that
conform to these guidelines. The use of HFS based on these voluntary guidelines will
assist all beverage manufactures in the production of uniform quality beverages.

The International Society of Beverage Technologists does not warrant the efficacy,
accuracy or completeness of these guidelines.

QUALITY GUIDELINES FOR 42 AND 55 HIGH FRUCTOSE


SYRUP
Description
The description for High Fructose Syrups is contained in Section 184.1866, Title 21 of
the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). High Fructose Syrups are sweet, nutritive
saccharides mixtures, consisting mainly of fructose and glucose. They are clear
aqueous solutions prepared from high dextrose starch hydrolysate by enzymatic
conversion of glucose (dextrose) to fructose utilizing glucose isomerase enzyme. HFS
can be derived from corn starch or other starch derivatives. The fructose content may
be increased utilizing chromatographic separation and/or blending under good
manufacturing practice conditions.

High fructose syrups are water-white to light yellow, somewhat viscous liquids that
darken at high temperatures. They are miscible in all proportions with water.

High fructose syrups must be manufactured, processed, packaged, and stored under
sanitary conditions appropriate to food products; and in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations.

The analytical guidelines for High Fructose Syrups are contained on the following page.

Rationale Definitions

Sensory: Any attribute that negatively impacts taste, odor, or appearance of


beverage.
Process Capability: Any attribute that defines a key parameter in a controlled process
and an important consideration in the beverage industry
Regulatory: Any attribute whose limit is set by governing regulatory agencies

Other Considerations
In addition to the standards listed above several other areas are being assessed
and debated throughout the world. As new scientific information, test methods,
and regulations become available; standards, procedures and/or test methods
related to these considerations may be required. Until these get incorporated into
ISBT or other publicly accessed references, they will continue to be addressed
independently within the respective end user and manufacturers organizations.
Some areas of interest include:
Silica
Under acidic conditions silicates liberate silicilic acid which, although initially
dispersed colloidally in the beverage, will be converted to silicon dioxide and
precipitated. This precipitate can appear as fine sediment in clear beverages,
forming a "tornado" effect on swirling the beverage bottle.

Microbiological Parameters for Non Carbonated Beverages


The ISBT microbiological guidelines used by the beverage industry to monitor the
sweetener manufacturing process are critical. These guidelines function as alert
mechanisms to signal whether microbiological conditions in the finished product
are within the normal range. When lot acceptance or product testing is
necessary, decisions to accept or reject material should never be based upon the
analysis of a single sample. Various factors including sampling method, sample
preparation and mixing, and laboratory technique may affect microbiological
results. Limits presented here are considered acceptable to monitor prerequisite
programs (which include GMP's) and HACCP performance. Individual bottlers
and suppliers should agree upon microbiological protocols including testing
frequency, test method, and accept/reject criteria.

The microbiological guidelines referenced mentioned below are intended to be


suitable limits for carbonated beverages (CSD’s). Special consideration should
be given to sweeteners used for other types of beverages (i.e. low acid, thermally
processed, non-preserved, or aseptically processed beverages), as tighter
microbiological controls may be necessary to ensure product integrity.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

While there are many yeast and molds capable of spoiling non-CSD’s, heat
resistant molds (HRM’s) are the main spoilage organisms of concern because
many of these beverages are thermally processed/hot filled at 180ºF (82ºC).
Common organisms include Byssochlamys fulva, Byssochlamys nivea,
Neosartorya fischerii and Talaromyces flavus. Others such as Paecilomyces and
Eupenicillium can be heat resistant but are not commonly associated with heat
resistant type spoilage. Labs testing sugars for HRM’s need to be versed in mold
identification. These molds are airborne and common, especially in warm
climates. They may also be introduced to juice processing facilities and
equipment via contaminated fruit, concentrates or bases. They have adapted to
surviving chemicals and environmental conditions that other fungi cannot. They
have a higher osmotic pressure tolerance, which allows them to thrive in sucrose
and other sugars and syrups when moisture is introduced (condensate). HRM’s
have been isolated from tanks, tank filters, gaskets, corroded pipes, and delivery
pipes. Special attention must be paid to preventing heat resistant mold growth in
liquid sweetener systems. In warm and tropical climates, it is particularly
important to focus on the production facility environment. Understanding the
sources of HRM and how to identify and control them will prevent spoilage of
non-carbonated beverages with these organisms.

Low acid, thermally processed beverages can undergo spoilage by thermophilic


flat sour bacteria when held at high ambient temperatures. For sweeteners that
are used in low acid thermally processed products, consideration should be given
as to whether to include specifications for total thermophilic bacterial spores and
flat sour spores. These bacterial spores are a spoilage concern in these products
due to their very high heat resistance and therefore need to be controlled in the
raw ingredients. The organisms of greatest concern are Bacillus
stearothermophilus and Bacillus coagulans.

Although no limits are put forth herein for beverages, for reference the Food
Processors Association (FPA, formerly known as NFPA) has published
standards for spore-formers in canned foods and these are as follows

Total thermophilic spore counts: average of not more than 125 spores per 10
gram sample.

Flat sour spore count: average of not more than 50 spores per 10 gram sample.

Methods for testing for these types of organisms are available in the
Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods, 4th
edition, chapters 21, 25 - 27.

Alicyclobacillus (ACB) is an acid tolerant thermophylic micro-organism which as a


spore is very heat resistant and will survive the usual heat processes used in the
fruit juice industry. Information about this organism can be found in the
Alicyclobacillus Best Practice Guideline, published by the Association of the
Industry of Juice and Nectars (AIJN). This publication is posted on
www.bevtech.org under Resources and Industry News.

Other potential issues could be raised in the future and they will be addressed as
appropriate. High Fructose Syrup should meet the guidelines recommended by
ISBT and comply with any other requirements defined by local food regulations,
consistent with its intended use. High fructose syrups must be manufactured,
processed, packaged, and stored under sanitary conditions appropriate to food
products; and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

APPENDIX VI

CHLORINE SANITIZER GUIDANCE FOR WASH STATIONS


Why Sanitize?
In the food industry we sanitize to reduce the risk of product contamination and
protect public health. Correctly applying an EPA registered sanitizer to a
properly cleaned food contact surface will reduce the total microbiological load to
a safe level.

What is a sanitizer?
A sanitizer is an EPA registered chemical that when diluted, in accordance with
the label directions will reduce the microbiological contamination on the surface
to a generally accepted level (99.999% a 5 log reduction) in 30 seconds. The
sanitizer used most commonly in tanker truck sanitation is Sodium Hypochlorite
(Chlorine).

Important Note (FDA and chlorine sanitizers): The food industry most often uses
sanitizing procedures. Regardless of the product, the sanitizing solution must be tested to
verify that the desired concentration is consistently present. Too little sanitizer, of course,
can result in unacceptable efficacy, while too much sanitizer can yield residues that do
not meet standards (FDA Code of Federal Regulations 21CFR 178.1010 Sanitizing
Solutions. “Sanitizing solutions may be safely used on food-processing equipment and
utensils, and on other food contact articles as specified in this section within the following
prescribed conditions: a) Such sanitizing solution are used, followed by adequate
draining before contact with food, b) The solutions consist of one of the following, to
which may be added components generally recognized as safe and components which
are permitted by prior sanction or approval (1) An aqueous solution containing potassium,
sodium, or calcium hypochlorite, with or without the bromides of potassium, sodium or
calcium. (c)(1) Solutions identified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section will provide not more
than 200 parts per million of available halogen determined as available chlorine.”

Where do I find the correct sanitizer?


A chemical supplier that services the food processing industry is the best place to
purchase EPA approved sanitizer with the necessary label instruction to prepare
solutions that will effectively do the job. If you use chlorine (bleach) purchased
from the grocery store you will be risking the quality of product you are trying to
protect. Some grocery store brands do not have the proper label claims or
instructions and may contain scents and other ingredients that are illegal to use
on food processing surfaces.

How do I make up my chlorine sanitizer solution?


 First thing to understand is that is a violation of federal law to use a
sanitizer in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
 Look at the label and find the instructions for “Sanitizing of Non-Porous
Food Contact Surfaces”.
 Follow the dilution instruction needed to make up a 100 – 200 ppm
available chlorine solution.

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 9 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

 Prepare fresh chlorine solutions at the start of your shift and verify the
correct concentration using test papers or drop test kit.
 Do not use HOT water to make up the solution.
 Do not use scented chlorine sanitizers.
 Test the solution strength using an appropriate test kit or test papers.
Chlorine test strips will vary in the amount of chlorine detected. To obtain
an accurate measurement of residual chlorine select a test strip in the 0-
1000ppm range with 25-50 (or smaller) ppm increments. You can contact
your chemical supplier if you need help in sourcing the proper testing
equipment along with instructions on proper use.
 The strength of your chlorine solution will decrease over time. If the
solution strength falls below 50 ppm or is visibly soiled dump the solution
and start over with a fresh solution.
 Label your chlorine solution holding sinks, buckets and spray bottles
clearly as “Chlorine Sanitizer Only”
 Keep your chlorine solution containers covered to minimize contamination
and loss of chlorine to the atmosphere.

Safety:

It is important to use personal protective equipment when diluting and using any
sanitizer. Minimum equipment would include safety glasses and protective
gloves. Additional equipment may be requires based on the application method.
Consult with the chemical supplier to obtain MSDS information and instructions
for safe use. Consult with your site Safety Manager for proper personal
protective equipment.

Disposal:

Waste must be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Consult


your local or regional authorities for additional information. Refer to the product
label for appropriate disposal instructions for used containers.

PRIOR LOAD COMMODITIES


The following list is comprised of the generally accepted prior commodities
which, can be transported immediately prior to transporting a load of HFS. The
list was compiled through the joint efforts of HFS manufacturers and soft drink
customers and represents the best information available at this time. Presence
on this list indicates that data is available that demonstrates that the prior
commodity in question can be effectively and consistently removed from the
transport vessel using the cleaning procedures found in the “Wash Station
Guidelines for Liquid Sweetener Transport Vessels”. Individual customers,
however, should carefully review the items listed to assure that they are
acceptable. Other commodities may be approved with the express consent of
both the supplier and customer. Those found unacceptable should be excluded
by contract with the supplier.

The commodities found in the following table are recognized as generally


accepted prior commodities for sweetener vessels intended for use in the
beverage industry. If other prior commodities are used refer to the “Wash Station
Guidelines for Liquid Sweetener Transport Vessels” for the type of wash needed.
Prior Commodities Table
Clear, Non-Flavored Beverage Alcohol Liquid Sucrose/HFS/Glucose Syrup Blends
Citric Acid Mannitol
Glucose Syrup Sorbitol
High Fructose Syrup Potable Water
Medium Invert/ Invert Sugars Phosphoric Acid
Liquid Sucrose Liquid Dextrose
Liquid Maltodextrins Lactic Acid
Hydrogenated Glucose Syrups
Includes maltitol, erythritol, xylitol, lactitol
and polyglycitol (hydrogenated starch
hydrolysate)

If the HFS raw material is derived from an allergen source (wheat), a Type 4
wash is required. Refer to Vessel Wash Guidelines for details of the wash
requirements needed.

From time to time it may be necessary to consider additional ingredients to be


added to this list. Standards for consideration and inclusion of new ingredients to
this list shall consist of, but are not limited to the following general considerations:

1. The ingredient must be considered a food or a food grade commodity.

2. The ingredient must be freely soluble in water.

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 11 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

3. The ingredient must leave no odor in the vessel after it has been washed as
described in the “Wash Station Guidelines for Liquid Sweetener Transport
Vessels”

4. Chemical and sensory data should be assembled to support the idea that if
any minute residue of this ingredient were left in the vessel after washing
according to the requirements described in the “Wash Station Guidelines for
Liquid Sweetener Transport Vessels” such residue would have no impact on
the performance, sensory quality or labeling of a beverage.

Sweetener vessels may be considered as any accepted mode of bulk sweetener


transport such as rail cars, trailers, ISO containers, etc.

Proposals to the ISBT to amend current guidelines for generally accepted prior
commodities should be made in writing to the Executive Director of the ISBT and the
Chair of the Sweetener Committee. The members of the sweetener guidelines
subcommittee of the ISBT shall review the proposal against the established
considerations and determine if any additional requirements need to be met.

In general, the methods by which the subcommittee will determine whether the
standards have been met will be the application of the appropriate sensory and
chemical tests to the wash water and container after the wash has been
completed. Such tests shall be repeated to provide statistical validity and use
recognized testing methodologies (such as AOAC) appropriate for the given
ingredient. It is recommended that petitioners prepare this information for the
ISBT in advance.

STORAGE & HANDLING GUIDELINES FOR HIGH


FRUCTOSE SYRUPS
The following provides guidelines for the storage and handling of high fructose
syrups. It reflects current industry knowledge about the properties of these
sweeteners and the materials used for storage and handling. These guidelines
are not intended to replace existing specifications. All metric conversions are
approximate.

I. Storage Tanks
Tank Sizing

Liquid sweetener storage tanks are typically sized a minimum of 1.5 times larger
than delivered loads to ensure sufficient inventory. For example, based on a
typical tank truck or container capacity of 50,000 pounds (22,700 kilograms) or
4,400 US gallons (16.7 cubic meters or 16,632 liters) , the minimum storage tank
capacity suitable for truck deliveries is recommended to be 75,000 lbs ((34,000
kilograms) or 6600 US gallons (25.0 cubic meters or 24,984 liters).

Based on an average railcar capacity of 200,000 pounds (90,800 kilograms) or


17,600 US gallons (66.7 cubic meters or 66,528 liters), the minimum storage tank
capacity suitable for railcar deliveries is 300,000 lbs (136,200 kilograms) or
26,400 US gallons (100 cubic meters or 99,792 liters).

The need for additional storage capacity will depend upon production rates and
volumes, delivery scheduling, and length of time between order placement and
actual delivery.

General Construction

Please refer to the diagrams of typical sweetener storage systems in Diagram in


Section IX.

Horizontal and vertical tanks are recommended. The choice of which to use will
depend on the available space in the facility. Tanks with sloped bottoms will
provide the drainage that is required. The syrup inlet pipe may be located on the
top or side of the tank. A bottom inlet is not recommended.

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 13 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

Stainless steel tanks must be equipped with standard flanged heads; horizontal
tanks should have dished heads. All corners must have a minimum ½-inch
radius, tank finish should be 2B or No. 4, and all interior welds ground smooth
and polished, with no snag finish or pits. Tanks should be passivated, inspected
and cleaned prior to being put into service.

Storage tanks located outside the building or in an unheated area must be


insulated to prevent product crystallization and to decrease temperature
variation. This could include insulating the base of the tank. Insulation applied to
outdoor tanks requires weatherproofing. Storage tanks located indoors may
require insulation or be equipped with adequate temperature control. The use of
insulation on indoor tanks will depend upon the heating/temperature control
method used. (See Section IV.)

Tank Materials

The following tank materials are compatible with liquid sweeteners:

Stainless steel (304L or 316) tanks are recommended and preferred for high
fructose syrups and other liquid sweeteners. Mild steel coated with a food grade
epoxy liner that can withstand high temperature (180 F or greater) and are pH
resistant can also be used. Recommended liners include but are not limited to
the following: Champion 466 FDA, Plascite 9133, Plascite 7133, Plascite
7133HS, and LCC 25H, and Devchem 755 and Amercoat 428PC. If lined tanks
are used it recommended that the lining be inspected periodically to ensure
proper condition.

Carbon steel, aluminum, 304 Stainless Steel and fiberglass lined storage tanks
are not recommended for storage of HFS. Carbon steel may release iron into the
product. Aluminum tanks may cause oxidation at the interface level of syrup
headspace by galvanic action. HFS may cause 304 Stainless Steel to pit. There
may be a leaching of curing solvents from fiberglass tanks into the product.

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 14 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

II. Storage Tank Accessories


The storage tank must be equipped with the following accessories.

A. A filtered, forced air blower system. The filtered, forced air passes through
the tank headspace, removes moisture, and thus reduces the likelihood of
microbial growth. (A UV light treatment system for the forced air is optional.)

1. The blower must be sized to keep the storage tank headspace dry
without removing moisture from the syrup, causing syrup to ‘dry out’. Air
flow should be sufficient to prevent condensation in tanks. Airflow of 60
cfm (150-200 m3/hour or 4-5 times the tank volume/hour) is also
suggested. For most storage tanks, this is equivalent to four tank
volumes of air exchanged per hour.

2. The air filter must be a HEPA-type and 99% efficient at 0.3 micron. The
HEPA filter life can be extended by protecting it with a larger micron
pre-filter. Filters are installed after UV lights (if being used) to protect
from broken glass if a bulb is broken.

3. The tank must be equipped with an air discharge vent, covered by a wire
mesh filter. A ribbon may be attached as an airflow indicator, although,
ideally, an air flow monitoring system will ensure that the unit is
functioning properly.

4. If using a UV system, warm air must be used to feed the UV system,


since air below 50°F (10C) reduces the effectiveness of the UV
system. The UV and air filter system should be protected from the
weather with rain covers.

5. If using UV, it is recommended installing the UV unit at ground level to


allow for easier access for maintenance. However, care needs to be
taken to ensure condensate does not buildup in the down legs of UV
lines. For outside installations, insulation of piping is recommended to
prevent condensation.

6. Connecting the UV system to an ammeter is recommended


for performance monitoring.

7. Depending on the lamp manufacturer, UV lamps must be changed every


four to six months to maintain maximum effectiveness.

B. An in-swing man-way or flanged man-way on the side for clean out and
inspection. If a vertical tank is used, installation of a top man-way will
facilitate inspection of the tank headspace.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

C. A temperature probe located near the bottom of the tank and inserted at least
six inches (15 cm) into the interior of the tank for internal temperature
reading.

D. A sanitary sampling probe located near the tank discharge.

E. A sanitary level indicator such as a sight glass, diaphragm gauge, differential


pressure cell, or load cell. Sight glass tubes are not recommended for
outside tanks due to crystallization of HFS in the tube if exposed to
temperatures below 75F (25C).

Note: A sanitizing clean in place (CIP) provision is optional for sweetener


tanks.

Recirculation capability will aid with even temperature distribution and help to
prevent crystallization.

III. Pipes and Fittings


Piping and Gasket Material (Storage Tank)

The following piping materials are compatible with liquid sweeteners:

Stainless steel (304L or 316) is the recommended piping material for high
fructose syrups. Stainless piping should be heli-arc welded, purged and polished,
or joined by sanitary in-line clamp gaskets (tri-clover clamp type).

Carbon steel, fiberglass, galvanized, plastic, and PVC (CPVC) pipes are not
recommended for liquid sweeteners.

Recommended white gasket materials for liquid sweetener handling systems


include Teflon, food grade Tygon, and neoprene. Hose and tubing
couplings/fittings should be composed of similar material.

Piping

Piping should be separated for each sweetener type in use. Piping should be
designed to eliminate dead legs (ends). Sanitary butterfly or ball valves should be
used to provide positive cut-off where needed. A drain valve, or other provision to
empty the tank, should be included at the lowest elevation of the line to facilitate
system cleaning and sanitation. Tank inlet piping must be large enough to
accommodate desired flow rates for filling.

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 16 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

The tank discharge piping must be large enough to accommodate process demand
and to maintain adequate flow to the pump to avoid cavitation. The piping must also
be sized to account for temperature, viscosity, pipe length, elbows, and flow meters.
See Section VIII for Technical information of the physical properties of HFS.

In order to remove any possible debris or foreign material, the installation of an in-line
filter prior to the storage tank is recommended.

A piping design that eliminates all dead spaces is recommended. A drain valve
assists in sanitation of the piping system.

1. All lines from the receiving port through the meter to the syrup tanks must be
heat traced and insulated. Electric heat tape is recommended, but hot water or
steam tracing can also be used. The heat tracing must be thermostatically
controlled at the recommended storage temperature with separate zones for
each area where the temperature conditions may vary.

a. Using the correct type of electric heat tape is essential for proper heat
transfer, as well as for the safety of the pipe and insulation

b. Constant wattage heat tape, regulated by a thermostat, is the recommended


type of heat tape. Silicone/Nickel elements wrapped in a rubber jacket is the
preferred composition.

c. Typically, two feet (61 cm) of cable is needed for every foot (30.5 cm) of
piping to be heated. 10-watt heat tape is the most efficient type.

d. In those systems where CIP is used, electric heat tape will be subjected to
temperatures of 180 to 195°F (82 – 90C).

2. All heating systems should be limited in capacity to avoid overheating the syrup
in case of thermostat failure.

IV. Heating Requirements


Tanks

Storage tank temperature control systems are designed and installed to maintain
proper storage temperature. Temperature control systems should not be designed to
heat the product, since this could result in discolored or burnt syrups.

1. High Fructose Syrups require indirect heating systems to prevent dextrose


crystallization

2. The following indirect heating methods are recommended:

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 17 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

a. Jacketing around the base of the tank with hot water at 110°F (43C) from a
hot water heater may be used. Steam is not recommended, as inadequate
control will result in heat abuse and sweetener discoloration.

b. Electric heating pads may be placed directly along the base of the tank and
are thermostatically controlled. Pad temperatures should not exceed 110°F
(43C). An automatic emergency cut-off switch should be in place to prevent
heating elements from exceeding 120°F (49C).

NOTE: If heating jackets or pads are used, it is important that the syrup level
of the tank be maintained above the heating elements to prevent syrup
burning on the tank wall.

c. Bottom heating of the tank (horizontal or vertical) may also be used. In these
systems, the base of the tank is elevated to create a void for heating the air
space. This space is usually heated by steam coils or electric heaters. Indirect
heating should be applied within the bottom quarter of a vertical tank and
along the base of a horizontal tank.

d. It is recommended that all thermostats be kept secure. Costly damage could


occur if a thermostat is accidentally misadjusted.

e. Recommended Storage Temperatures (optimal storage temperatures are the


midpoints of each of these ranges):

Product Storage Temperature

55% HFS 80 to 90°F (27 - 32C)


42% HFS 90 to 100°F (32 - 38C)
Syrups stored for extended periods (over six months) should be evaluated
periodically for fitness of use.

Crystallization of dextrose may occur in High Fructose Syrups. Since crystallization is


a function of many variables including percent solids, percent dextrose, temperature,
and nucleation sites, it is difficult to define the exact temperature where crystallization
may begin. If the syrup temperature falls below the crystallization point (see chart
below), the dextrose in solution may begin to crystallize.

Product Approximate Crystallization


Temperature

55% HFS 75°F (24C)


42% HFS 85°F (29C)

If dextrose crystallization occurs, proper heating will solubilize the crystals. Agitation
or mixing of the sweetener through a mechanical recycle system will shorten the time

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

required to solubilize the dextrose crystals. Oil-free filtered air can also be used in a
properly maintained system.

For products that may crystallize, consideration should be given to using the product
pump to re-circulate syrup within the tank. If crystallization occurs, a re-circulation line
aids the rapid distribution of hot syrup evenly throughout the tank and helps reduce
color development. The re-circulation line should enter the bottom of the tank to
minimize air entrainment and foam development.

V. Pumps and Meters


Pumps

Since bulk trucks may be equipped with their own pumps a syrup-receiving pump
may not needed when receiving product by bulk truck delivery. HFS may be
transferred from a railcar to the storage tank by pressurizing the railcar using purified,
filtered food grade compressed air. Proper handling requirements must be followed
with using compressed air to off-load rail cars. Large slugs of air applied to the
storage tank can cause the tank to become pressurized. The following guidelines are
to be followed when using pumps to transfer HFS.

1. A positive displacement rotary pump, equipped with a food grade packing, an


internal bypass, and a pressure relief valve is required.

2. A positive displacement rotary pump, equipped with a food grade packing, an


internal bypass, and a pressure relief valve is required.

3. Pump size is determined by the required flow rate (gallons or liters per
minute), the piping configuration, the number of use points, and the viscosity of
the sweetener. The pump manufacturer should be consulted for the proper
sizing of equipment. Refer to Section VIII for the physical properties of HFS.

4. The pump should be protected by installing a perforated basket type strainer


on the intake side. Provisions should be made for the easy inspection and
cleaning of the strainer.

5. A magnet may be installed on the intake side of the pump.

6. A pressure gauge may be installed near the pump discharge to determine


pump efficiency.

7. Heat tracing and insulation are recommended for pumps that may be exposed
to temperatures below 70°F (21C). Refer to Section IV for heat tracing
requirements.

8. Under ideal circumstances transfer pumps should be capable of pumping


from:

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 19 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

a. Railcar and tank trucks to storage tank.

b. Storage tank to process room and all use points.

c. Storage tank back to storage tank for re-circulation.

d. Storage tank to tank truck and railcars.

9. Pumps must be equipped with stainless steel housings.

10. If using a pump to unload railcars, it is recommended that a separate pump


is used to transfer sweetener to the point of use.

Meters

1. Displacement, coriolus (mass flow meter), and mag meters may be used to gauge
the amount of liquid sweetener transferred. Since high fructose syrups have very
low conductivity values, proper meter selection is crucial to ensure accurate
metering. When using coriolus (mass flow) meters care must be taken to maintain
a full pipeline of material. Also, meters are subject to inaccuracies if there is
entrained air or air pockets. Equipment manufacturers should be consulted on the
meter best suited for a particular application. Refer to Section VIII for conductivity
information.

2. The pump and piping system of the syrup tank should be equipped with an
automatic cutoff (auto-stop).

3. The meter should be equipped with micro switches for pump starting and
stopping, and should have a two-stage start/stop to prevent hammering in the
pipes.

VI. Receiving Product

Recommended Trailer Delivery (upon receipt) Temperatures are:


Delivery (upon
Product
receipt)Temperature

55% HFS 80 to 95°F (27 - 35C)


42% HFS 90 to 100°F (32 - 38C)

A separate receiving port should be used for each sweetener. It is recommended that
each receiving port be clearly identified with a permanent placard. Receiving ports,
manways and all access points to the tank must be secured with cable seals or
padlocks.
Receiving ports and fittings should be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. If
sanitizers are permitted, sanitize the receiving port and fittings with a sanitizer

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 20 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

approved for food contact surfaces. A sodium hypochlorite solution measured as 100
- 200 ppm free chlorine (the sodium hypochlorite solution must be approved for food
contact surfaces and be unscented) is recommended.
All fittings and hose ends should be stored off the ground. Hoses should be kept
capped and sealed to prevent foreign material contamination For bulk deliveries, the
customer typically provides a 3 inch male cam lock fitting to accommodate the 3 inch
cam lock female fitting. Equipment requirements should be coordinated with
customer, supplier and carrier.

In order to receive bulk railcar deliveries, a railcar adapter flange or cam lock fitting is
needed. This flange or fitting reduces the pipe size from 6 inches to 3 to 4 inches. A 3
to 4-inch brewer style (food grade) hose with a cam lock fitting is used to connect to
the flange and to deliver sweetener to the storage tank.

In line receiving filters or strainers should be inspected after every load for debris,
build up, or damage. Filters or strainers must be cleaned or changed if needed.

If samples are required, they should be taken in a sanitary manner. Sampling


methods will be determined by customer, supplier, and carrier.

VII. Preventative Maintenance and Cleaning Storage Systems


A preventative maintenance program should be developed and implemented for
pumps, gearboxes, motors, air compressors, pressure gauges, thermometers, air
blowers, air and product filters and any other product handling equipment that require
ongoing maintenance.
Examples of preventative maintenance items are below. Please note that the
guidelines in this example are minimum standards for storage tanks as well as for
implementation of the 72 hour wash process contained in the ISBT Vessel Wash
Guidelines

A. Tank airflow systems:

Daily

1. Verify air flow from exhaust filters to verify that the tank air systems are working
properly.

Monthly

1. Inspect intake guard and HEPA filters.

2. Monitor product for bacteria, yeast and mold from a sanitary sampling port.
Results must meet ISBT microbiological guidelines.

HFS Guidelines & Analytical Procedures


Issue Date: March, 2014 Page 21 of 144
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGISTS

Quarterly

1. Change guard filters. Frequency may need to be increased based on


environmental conditions.

Every 6 months

1. If UV bulbs are present, unplug the UV unit and change the bulbs. This will
maintain maximum efficiency within the unit. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for maintenance and safety protocol.

2. (Optional, if entry to the tank permits). Take a swab sample of the upper tank
wall and test for yeast and mold. This should not be an issue if the UV unit,
filters and forced air blower are working properly.

Every 2 years (at minimum)

1. Change HEPA filter

B. Storage tank inspection and cleaning

The storage tank should only be opened for inspection, if necessary, to confirm the
presence of foreign material, product crystals, or microbial condition. If the tank
needs to be inspected and cleaned the following guidelines should be used.

Drain the storage tank to a level that allows for easy inspection of the entire tank,
including the floor. Inspect the inside of the tank for surface integrity and cleanliness.
Closely examine the roof and upper walls of the tank for any mold growth. This
should not occur if the forced air blower is working properly. If the tank is lined,
inspect the lining for chips, tears, holes, or rust. If repairs are necessary, contact an
appropriate tank lining contractor. Acceptable tank liners can be found in Section I.

If cleaning is necessary, follow instructions in the next section. If the tank appears to
be clean and free of foreign material, it is not necessary to clean it. Introducing water
into the tank may increase the likelihood of microbial growth.

Tank Cleaning

1. If cleaning is necessary, simply flush the tank and all lines with 180°F (82C)
water until all traces of foreign material are removed. Cleaning compounds are not
necessary. The tank headspace should be sufficiently dried before putting it back
into service. Use the forced air blower and the tank’s indirect heating source to
assist with the drying process. Flush syrup through the entire line to push out any
residual water. Stop when syrup flow is steady and uninterrupted. You may take a
refractometer reading of the effluent to verify that any water has been removed.
Dispose of syrup that was used to flush out the line. It is necessary to clean and
flush the tank following any welding or sanding work inside the tank.

2. Recalibrate in-line meter or mass flow meter after cleaning, using the
manufacturer’s recommended procedures.

3. Special tank cleaning circumstances should be discussed with your HFS supplier.

Refractometer Solids
ABSTRACT
The index of refraction of a substance is the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its
velocity in the substance. This, in turn, is dependent on composition, concentration (e.g., dry
substance) and temperature of the substance. When the solids composition and temperature
are known, the index of refraction is a measure of dry substance.

EQUIPMENT

1. Refractometer with a range of indices from 1.32 or lower to 1.53 or higher, accurate to
0.0001 unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use of the particular instrument.
Standardize using purified water and the test block supplied with the instrument.
2. Water bath. Operate at 20°C or 45°C. It should be sufficient size so that the refractometer
temperature is controlled within ±0.1°C of that prescribed for the bath (Note 1).
3. Light Source: Frosted incandescent bulb.

PROCEDURE

1. Apply sample to the prism face and close prism in minimum time possible (Note 2). Dilute
syrups are best applied with a dropper, while concentrated syrups are handled most
conveniently with a plastic applicator (a glass rod may scratch the refractometer prism)
(Note 3).
2. Read the index, estimating to the nearest 0.0001 unit, as soon as temperature equilibrium
is indicated by constant readings (approximately 3 minutes).

CALCULATIONS
If desired, obtain the percent dry substance of the sample by reference to Appendix II or III as
appropriate.

DISCUSSION AND NOTES

1. If the refractometer temperature is lower than room temperature, there is a tendency for
the prism to fog, especially at high relative humidity. Also, thick viscous syrups present
difficulties, which are best, overcome at higher temperatures where their viscosities are
sharply decreased.
2. For accurate measurements, particularly with warm samples, speed in application of the
sample and closing the prism is imperative. The process should take no more than 2 - 3
seconds.
3. Syrups must be completely free of all crystalline materials, which may interfere with
accurate refractive index.

Conductivity

ABSTRACT
Passage of an electric current through an electrolyte solution involves the migration of charged
species (i.e. ionized minerals and organic acids). Conductance is the measure of the current
that results from the application of a given electrical force; it is directly dependent upon the
number of charged particles in solution (Note 1).
Conductivity of finished products and process samples is determined by measuring the
conductivity. The method is applicable to samples containing minerals primarily composed of
sodium and chloride ions. The method is applicable to all carbohydrate solutions; particularly
those free of colloidal or particulate matter and can be adjusted to 28 % solids. (Note 2)
EQUIPMENT
Conductivity Meter or Bridge: Equipped with an appropriate conductivity cell or probe, temperature
compensated, (Note 3). Conductivity is read directly and corrected to 20 °C depending on the
manufacturer

REAGENTS
1. Special Distilled Water - Standard laboratory distilled water that has been deionized and carbon
treated to yield a resistance of 18 mega Ohms or better. For best results, the water should be boiled
just prior to use to remove dissolved gases that might contribute to conductivity. Do not allow the
water to set, exposed to the atmosphere, for more than 1-2 hours before use.
2. Potassium Chloride, (KCl) Calibrating Solutions (Note 4) –
0.01 M:
a. Weigh 0.3728 ± 0.0002 g of potassium chloride (KCl), previously dried (Note 5).
b. Transfer to a 500 ml volumetric flask.
c. Dilute with special distilled water to volume and mix well. The specific conductivity of the
resulting solution is 141 µmhos/cm (Note 6).
0.02 M:
a. Weigh 0.7456 ± 0.0002 g of potassium chloride, previously dried (Note 5).
b. Transfer to a 500 ml volumetric flask
c. Dilute with special distilled water to mark and mix well. The specific conductivity of the resulting
solution is 276 µmhos/cm (Note 6).

PROCEDURE

Standardization
1. Rinse the conductivity cell or the analysis vessel to be used with a quantity of standardizing
solution.
2. Discard the rinse solution and fill the vessel to the level specified in the manufacturer's
operating instructions.
3. Attach the cell or insert the probe (Note 7) into the vessel. If necessary, adjust the
temperature compensation control to match the temperature of the solution.
4. Select the correct range and adjust the calibration control to match the specific conductivity
of the calibrating liquid (Note 8).
5. Verify the calibration by determining the conductivity of the second potassium chloride
solution or commercial standard. Values should be ± 2 of the stated value; if not, repeat the
calibration procedure.

Conductivity
Analysis

1. Adjust the sample to 28% solids using special distilled water. If the sample is below 28%
solids, it can be read directly also noting the solids level actually used as is.
2. Rinse the conductivity cell or the analysis vessel with the special distilled water and twice
with the solution to be analyzed.
3. Fill the cell to the level specified by the manufacturer (Note 7) and adjust the temperature
control to correspond with the temperature of the test solution. Select the proper range for
the sample type and measure the conductivity.
4. Conductivity - Record the value obtained from the conductivity meter or bridge as specific
conductivity, µmhos/cm at specified solids level.

CALCULATIONS: None required

NOTES

1. Specific Conductance, K, is the quantity determined in direct conductance measurements.


It is related to the measured conductance, as follows:

A
L = K
1

Where L = Conductance = [resistance (ohms)]-1


A = Conductor cross sectional area, (cm2)
l = Conductor length, (cm)
(L is the conductance of a cubic centimeter of liquid)

The ratio, A/l, has a fixed and constant value in any given conductivity cell, and is known as
the "cell constant". Its value is seldom determined directly; however, it is evaluated by
measuring the conductance of a (potassium chloride) solution whose Specific Conductance
is reliably known.
2. The scientific community has not reached complete agreement as to the ideal solids
concentration for this measurement however, 28% has been fairly widely adopted as the
most appropriate concentration.
3. Samples measured on instruments without temperature compensation capability must be
analyzed at the exact temperature specified for operation
4. Alternatively, commercial conductivity calibrating solutions are available at modest cost. The
conductivity meter should be standardized with solutions approximating the conductivity of
the samples being tested. Samples with a specific conductivity of less than 50 µmhos/cm
should be determined on a meter that was standardized with a solution no higher than 75
µmhos/cm.
5. Dry reagent grade potassium chloride for 4 hours at 100°C under vacuum or until a constant
weight is attained.

6. Millisiemens per meter (mS/m) = Micromhos per centimeter (µmhos/cm) / 10


7. Most modern instruments are equipped with probes that should be inserted into the liquid
according to a specified depth. Consult the manufacturer's reference and mark the probe
in some obvious way so that all operators insert the probe to the same depth.
8. In general, most modern conductivity (conductance) meters measure specific conductivity
values directly. Conductance - resistance meters and many conductivity bridges provide
both specific conductivity and resistance measurements. Specific conductivity
measurements (µmhos/cm) may be reported as read; however, if resistance values
(ohms) are obtained the "cell constant" must be determined for each standard using the
equation in Note 1. Average the two results and use this value to calculate sample
conductivity:

ABSTRACT
A corn syrup solution is passed through a metal ion-modified cation exchange column. The individual
sugars are separated by molecular exclusion and ligand exchange. The eluted sugars are detected using
a differential refractometer and the resulting peaks are quantified against an appropriate standard with the
aid of a modern electronic integrator.
SCOPE
The method is applicable to all corn syrup, including those containing fructose, corn syrups and starch
hydrolyzates prepared by acid and/or enzymes conversion (Note 1).
EQUIPMENT
Liquid Chromatograph: A liquid chromatograph capable of accommodating a 22-31 cm temperature-
controlled column and equipped with a constant flow pulseless pump and differential refractometer
detector with attenuation capabilities.
Integrator: A computing integrator with calculating and recording capabilities, compatible with the voltage
output of the detector.
Chromatograph columns: Prepacked cation exchange columns (calcium or silver form) are
recommended. These columns are macroreticular polystyrene sulfonate divinylbenzene, 2-8%
crosslinked, 8-25µm particle size. Examples of acceptable columns are: Bio-Rad Aminex HPX-87C for
separating DP1-DP4 saccharides and Aminex HPX-42C or HPX-42A for separating DP1-DP7 saccharides.

Guard column: Protect the analytical column described above by inserting a deionizing precolumn
available from chromatographic column manufacturers.
Chromatographic column Heater: A thermostatically controlled metal block heater accommodating two
columns, capable of operating at temperatures up to 95C (±0.5C).
Sample Injector: Use a loop injector having a capacity of 10-50 µL. Rheodyne-type, or equivalent, is
recommended for manual injection, use a precision sampling syringe, 100 µL capacity.
REAGENTS

Solvent: degassed, purified water (See appendix 1) should be filtered through a 0.22 micron membrane
filter prior to use; maintain at approximately 85C.
Carbohydrate Standards: Recommended sugar standards are as follows: fructose; dextrose; maltose
hydrate; maltotriose; acid-converted 42 D.E. corn syrup or a maltodextrin of about 10 D.E. (Note 3). When
applicable, the purity of a given standard sugar should be determined using liquid chromatographic
analysis (Note 4).

PROCEDURE

Column conditioning:
Install chromatographic and guard columns, begin pumping solvent at 0.1 ml per minute, bring
to operating temperature, increase flow rate to 0.5 ml per minute, and allow to equilibrate for 45
minutes.
Approximate operating conditions: The parameters listed below may be modified, depending on
equipment used.
Instrument Parameters

Flow Rate 0.5 ml/minute


Column Temperature 85 degrees C
Detector Temperature 45 degrees C
Detector Attenuation 8X

Inject standard or sample of known composition. Following throughput, examine chromatogram


and adjust integrator according to manufacturer's instructions so as to obtain the desired
information.
Standardization: Prepare a standard solution at 10% solids using sugars of known purity (e.g.,
fructose, dextrose, maltose, etc.) that approximates the composition of a sample type on a dry
basis. Dissolve the appropriate dry weights (±0.1 mg) of each standard sugar in 20 ml of purified
water contained in a 50 ml beaker. Heat on a steam bath until all sugars are dissolved; then
cool and quantitatively transfer to a 100 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to volume and mix. Freeze
the solution if it is to be reused.
If a corn syrup or maltodextrin is used to supply a DP4+ fraction, care must be taken to include
all saccharides in the standard calculation.
Compute the dry basis concentration of each individual component in the standard solution
according to the equation below (see example of the calculation):
Sugar Component, % Dry Basis =
Component Wt.
Dextrose Wt. + Maltose (DP2) Wt. + Maltotriose (DP3) Wt. + Oligosaccharide (DP4+) Wt.
Standardize by injecting 10-20 µl (about 1.0-2.0 mg solids) of the standard sugar solution.
Integrate the peaks and normalize. Sum the individual DP4 responses from the normalized
printout to obtain the total DP4+ normalized response.
Area Correction Factor (ACF) = Know Concentration, d.b%
(for each component) Measured Concentration, Normalized, %

Compute the integrator response factors for each component using the following equation:
Integrator Response Factor KF = Component ACF
for each component relative to dextrose Dextrose ACF

The KF for DP4+ should be listed as the default value and used to compute higher saccharides.

ANALYSIS:
Determine the approximate dry substance of the sample. Dilute the sample, by weight, to about
10% solids with purified water (See Note 4). If injecting manually, rinse the syringe with the
diluted sample a minimum of 4 times prior to injection. Inject the appropriate volume of sample.
Following manual injection, rinse the syringe with warm purified water, allowing air bubbles to
scrub the walls of the syringe.

CALCULATION

When an electronic integrator with calculation capabilities has been used with the appropriate
KF values, the results will be computed automatically (Note 5). List the individual results
obtained for fructose, dextrose, maltose and other DP2. Combine the results obtained for
maltotriose and other DP3 and list the sum as DP3. Sum the remaining results and list the sum
as DP4 +.
When an integrator without calculations capability is used, the chromatographic results may be
calculated as follows:
List the individual areas for fructose (f), dextrose (d), maltose and other DP2 (2), as well as
maltotriose and other DP3 (3). Sum the remaining areas and list the obtained sum as DP4+. Use
the equations below to compute the concentration of each component. Report as under
Calculations.
% Component = (Component Area) (Component ACF) (100)
(AreafxACFf)+(AreadxACFd)+(Area2xACF2)+(Area4xACF4+)
NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS
1. The following sugars and/or sugar groups may be separated by this technique;
approximate retention time relative to dextrose as Rg is given in parenthesis: excluded
peak through DP (0.42-0.68); maltotriose (0.77); maltose and isomaltose (0.85);
maltulose (0.91); dextrose (1.00); fructose (1.23). Sucrose elutes with maltose and
isomaltose, and these three disaccharides are rarely separable by this method.

2. The composition of the acid-converted syrup is estimated by determining the level of


each saccharide shown for a given dextrose equivalent (D.E.) in the Corn Refiners
Association, Inc., Critical Data Tables. The dextrose equivalent of the syrup should be
determined according to the Corn Refiners Association, Inc., Standard Analytical Method
E-26. The syrup and maltodextrin are commercially available and approximate
compositions are obtainable from the supplier.

3. The best accuracy will be obtained when the dry solids and saccharide compositions of
the standard and the sample are about the same.

4. Generally, only one calibration is required per day. When a given standard is analyzed a
second time (on a given column having the same resolution), average the two sets of
ACF’s and use the average.

Color (CRA)
ABSTRACT
When light passes through a colored solution, certain bands of the spectrum are absorbed while
others are transmitted. The relative amounts of the various transmitted spectral bands provide
the visual effect of color. By using the spectrophotometer as a source of monochromatic light,
the intensity of the transmitted light can be measured by means of a photoelectric cell and a
sensitive galvanometer. The galvanometer response at various wavelengths when compared to
distilled water may be interpreted as a quantitative measure of the solution color.

EQUIPMENT
1. Spectrophotometer: Bausch & Lomb Spectronic® 100 or equivalent
2. Sample Compartment: Multiple Sample Compartment
3. Tungsten Lamp: Replacement lamp assembly
4. Rectangular Cells (Note 1): 2 x 4 cm.
REAGENTS
Potassium Dichromate Solution, 0.005% (Note 4)

PROCEDURE
1. Fill one of two matched (Note 2) and cleaned (Note 3) cells with water, the other with
0.005% potassium dichromate solution (Note 4).
2. Place cells in sample compartment so that the light beam passes through the 4 cm length,
with water in the rear position.
3. Close the cell compartment door and pull carrier knob out to place water in the light path.
4. Set the mode selector to % T and wavelength at 450 nm.
5. Adjust balance control to read 100% T. Push in carrier knob to place chromate solution in
the light beam and adjust the 450 nm wavelength setting to obtain a % T value of 53 ± 0.5%.
Use this setting as the corrected 450 nm wavelength for all subsequent readings.
6. Discard the chromate solution, thoroughly rinse and then fill the cell with sample solution.
Replace the cell in the carrier and switch to the absorbance mode. Adjust balance control to
read zero absorbance with water. Immediately put the sample cell in the light beam and
read the sample absorbance.
7. Set the wavelength to 600 nm, adjust balance control to read zero absorbance using water
and then determine the sample absorbance.
CALCULATION

Color (CRA) = (A at 450 nm - A at 600 nm) x (Dilution factor)


Cell Length (cm)
Report values to no more than two significant figures.

Color (CRA)

DISCUSSION AND NOTES

1. High fructose corn syrup samples are usually low in color. Spectral analysis of these
sample types require that a path length of at least 4 cm be used in order to accurately
measure sample absorbance. The instrument used must be capable of accommodating a
4 cm cell.
2. Cells filled with purified water and having transmission values falling within 0.5% of each
other at 450 nm are considered matched.
3. Cells may be cleaned with detergent and warm water. Iron stains may be removed with
dilute hydrochloric acid, and grease films with cleaning solution. Use of abrasives, or
prolonged contact with hot water or strong reagents may cause damage.
Cells should be dry and free of fingerprints on outside surfaces through which light passes.
Unduly cold samples may cause condensation to form on outside cell surfaces.
Introduction of air bubbles will reduce light transmittance, although if motionless, will not
seriously affect color values.
4. Potassium dichromate (0.005%)
Dissolve 1.000 g of National Bureau of Standards (NBS) potassium dichromate in water,
add 5 ml of 1:3 hydrochloric acid and dilute with purified water to1 liter. Dilute this stock
solution further taking 50.0 ml up to 1 liter with purified water.

ABSTRACT
The syrup sample is diluted with hot purified water and the insoluble material is collected by
vacuum filtration on a dried and tared filter paper. After drying and weighing, the insoluble
material is identified by microscopic examination.

EQUIPMENT
1. Filter Paper: Whatman No. 1 or Schleicher and Schuell No. 597, 5.5 cm diameter, is recommended.
2. Funnel: A sintered plate Büchner funnel constructed so that the filter paper lies flat and covers the
entire filtering area is necessary. A 2.5 inch diameter coarse porosity, stainless steel funnel is
satisfactory if the inside rim is turned down so that it is flush with the sintered plate. The funnel is
attached to a large filter flask connected to a vacuum supply (Note 1).
3. Stereoscope: A wide field, binocular type instrument, with inclined oculars providing magnification in
the range of 15 to 45 x, is recommended.

PROCEDURE
1. Center a 5.5 cm filter paper (Note 2) on a sintered plate of the funnel, apply vacuum, and
wash the paper with portions of hot (about 80°C) purified water1 totaling about 200 ml.
2. Place paper in previously dried and tared aluminum or glass dish equipped with cover, and
dry 1 hour in vacuum oven at 100°C.
3. Remove from oven, cover dish quickly, cool in desiccator, and weigh.
4. Weigh 500 g of syrup in a 2L beaker, add 1L of hot (about 80°C) purified water, and stir
until dissolution is complete. Center the prepared filter paper on the sintered plate of the
funnel, moisten with water, and apply vacuum.
5. Filter the solution immediately, rinsing all residue into the funnel with water, and wash the
residue and filter paper thoroughly with portions of hot (about 80°C) purified water totaling
about 200 ml (Note 3).
6. Place the filter paper and residue in dish used originally, and dry one hour in a vacuum
oven at 100°C. Remove from oven, cover dish quickly, cool in desiccator, and weigh.
7. After determining residue weight, carefully transfer paper with residue to stage of wide-field
stereoscope. Moisten paper with a few drops of water to avoid residue loss and facilitate
viewing. Using magnification suitable for identification of residue particles, examine entire
paper and note residue particles (Note 4).

NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS


1. A coarse porosity, fritted glass, Büchner funnel, having a capacity of 150 ml and a nominal
disc diameter of 60 mm, usually operates satisfactorily. The actual disc diameter is about
57 mm; the outer edge of the glass frit is fused and insoluble material does not escape
around the edge of a centered 55 mm filter paper. The outer edges of the glass frit can be
painted with two or three coats of an epoxy or polyester resin if necessary.
2. The recommended filter papers are white which facilitates microscopic examination of
colored extraneous material. Some residues are white and are difficult to distinguish from
the paper background during visual examination and identification.
3. Perform analysis in a clean atmosphere to prevent contamination in airborne materials.
4. Generally no discrete particles or extraneous materials are observed. Extraneous material
is here defined as any discrete non-syrup or foreign material found on the filter. It may
consist of contamination from processing equipment or materials, or airborne
contamination. Long experience facilitates visual identification of most residue particles
isolated by this procedure.

pH
ABSTRACT
pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration and is determined by measuring
the potential difference between two immersed electrodes.
EQUIPMENT
1. pH Meter: An instrument with both pH and millivolt (mV) readouts, equipped with glass and
reference electrodes, temperature compensated, of measuring pH values in the range of 1
to 10 (accurate to 0.01 pH unit), is recommended. Satisfactory instruments and electrodes
are available from several suppliers (Note 1).
2. Stirring apparatus: A magnetic stirrer is usually preferred. Connect the chassis of the stirrer
electrically to the ground circuit of the pH meter. An additional ground between the syrup
sample and the pH meter ground circuit may be necessary to minimize erratic readings
caused by rapid stirring.
REAGENTS
Standard Buffers: Two buffer solutions having known pH values of 4.00 and 7.00 (@ 25°C) are
recommended although other buffer solutions having known pH values of about 4 and 7 can be
used (Note 2).
PROCEDURE
1. Standardization of pH Meter: Standardize pH meter with two buffers at pH 4 and 7 according
to manufacturers’ instructions.
2. pH measurement of sample: Place sample to be measured in a clean beaker, and stir at a
rate sufficient to achieve a slight vortex at the surface of the sample (Note 34). Immerse the
properly standardized pH electrodes into the sample. When the pH reading is stable to ± 0.1
pH units (2-5 minutes), report the pH value to the nearest 0.1 pH units. Under certain
conditions it may take up to 15 minutes to obtain a stable reading.
3. pH should be read at the same temperature as the buffer.
DISCUSSION AND NOTES
1. A free flowing junction electrode, such as an Orion 81-72 or equivalent is recommended.
This type of free-flowing sleeve junction is especially designed for measurement in general
pH samples as well as viscous or colloidal samples. The junction can be cleaned easily
between measurements; pressing down on the cap allows filling solution to flow through the
junction, carrying away any contamination that may interfere with measurement.
2. Both liquid and dry stock buffers are commercially available and can be used with
confidence when handled according to supplier’s instructions.
3. The pH electrodes should be calibrated every day in accordance with manufacturers’
instructions. This assures that the pH electrode, and pH meter are functioning properly
before any measurements are taken.
4. Do not dilute the sample. The apparent pH of the sample is dependent on the solids content
of the sample.
5. In cases where the pH reading is not stable after a reasonable period of time, one drop of a
saturated KCl solution may be added to stabilize the reading.

Taste, Odor, and Appearance

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this method is to determine the acceptability of HFS (High Fructose Syrup)
samples for use in beverages based upon taste, odor, or appearance attributes. The method is
applicable to the analysis of both HFS 42 and 55.
Human senses can often detect contaminants at levels too low to be reliably measured by plant
instrumentation. As a result, a rapid taste and odor assessment of HFS used to prepare
beverages should be carried out in order to ensure satisfactory finished product sensory
performance.
The intent of this procedure is to identify off-tastes and odors, as well as appearance defects,
from High Fructose Syrup by comparing the sample to a known reference (previously
determined to be acceptable for use, and to be free from any sensory defects).
It has been found that tasting High Fructose Syrups “as-is” or diluted in water is inadequate for
identifying common off-tastes and odors. The simplest preparation method that mimics behavior
of HFS in a soft drink requires two steps:
1. Dilution to 11 Brix
2. Acidification to pH 2.5
Using this sensory protocol, if a sample of HFS is judged to be the same, or similar to the
reference sample, the product should be rated as “acceptable” by the panelists. However, if the
test sample differs significantly in taste, odor, or appearance from the reference sample, it
should be rated “unacceptable” and rejected.
REPRODUCIBILITY AND ACCURACY
A sensory panelist must be able to repeatedly and consistently identify controls and calibration
standards on a blind basis. A sensory panelist should be able to differentiate between a control
product and an off-note (or unacceptable) product at a minimum accuracy rate of 80%.
Panelists incapable of obtaining this accuracy rate should not be used.

EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS


IMPORTANT: All equipment must be reserved exclusively for taste, odor, and appearance evaluation and
should be stored in a clean, odor-free environment to prevent cross-contamination.

REAGENTS
1. Distilled/de-ionized or treated water meeting the following criteria:
Alkalinity <15 ppm (as CaCO3)
Hardness <25 ppm (as CaCO3)
Total Dissolved Solids <50 ppm
Chlorine Not detectable
Taste and Odor None

2. Food Grade Phosphoric Acid (85%) . See Note 1.

3. Standard HFS sample (control/reference sample), previously tasted and approved. This sample
should have no sensory defects as judged by a minimum of 3 panelists at the receiving plant. You
can hold the syrup for up to 1 month at room temperature (20C  3C / 65F  5F) for future
analysis.

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: Sample preparation must be carried out in an area free from odors. Perfumes or
colognes must not be worn and care should be taken to ensure that hands are thoroughly
cleaned with an unscented soap. No food or drinks (except water) should be consumed for at
least 30 minutes before performing the sensory evaluation. Panelists should also refrain from
smoking for a minimum of 30 minutes. Personnel experiencing nasal congestion due to cold and
flu should not take part in sensory testing.
For flexibility, two procedures are described herein for sample preparation: a Bottle by Bottle
method and a Batch method. The Bottle by Bottle method is to be used when each sample is
prepared in its entirety (one at a time upon receipt). The Batch method allows for a base
solution of acidified water to be made in bulk, and to be used to dilute the HFS samples as
needed.

Chlorides
ABSTRACT
Inorganic chloride in High Fructose Syrup is determined by direct titration with a standard silver
nitrate solution using potassium chromate as the indicator. High chloride levels may have a
sensory impact in beverages as these chlorides can pass through the process into the treated
water.
SCOPE

The method is applicable to all corn syrups, finished sugars and other clarified
starch hydrolyzates, containing more than 10 ppm chloride.

EQUIPMENT
1. Analytical balance accurate 0.0001g.
2. An automatic titrator or a precision 10ml buret with subdivisions of 0.05ml or less is
recommended.
REAGENTS
1. Silver Nitrate Solution, 0.05N, Dissolve 8.495g of reagent grade silver nitrate (AgNO3) in
purified water. Dilute to 1L and mix thoroughly.
2. Potassium Chromate Indicator: Dissolve 10g of potassium chromate (K2CrO4) in purified
water, dilute to 100ml and mix thoroughly.
PROCEDURE
1. Conduct a blank titration on 150ml of water used for sample dilution.
2.
3. Weigh accurately 50g of high fructose syrup (Note 1) into a beaker or flask.
4. Dissolve sample in 150ml of purified water.
5. Add 1 ml of potassium chromate indicator and titrate with standard silver nitrate solution until
a faint reddish coloration is perceptible (Note 2).
CALCULATION

PPM Chloride (as is) = [(ml of titrant consumed - Blank) x (N of titrant) x (milliequivalent weight of Cl-) x 106
g of sample
Where: N (Normality) of the AgNO3 titrant = 0.05
Milliequivalent weight of Cl- = (35.457  1,000) = 0.035457
PPM Chloride (as is) = [(ml titrant – Blank] x 0.05 x 0.035457 x 106
Sample Wt. (g)
NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS
1. Sample weight selected for analysis should be such that the sample titrated contains not
more than 0.035 g of chloride ion. Suggested sample weights for crude and refined corn
sugars are 10 and 50 g, respectively.

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)


ABSTRACT
The sample is diluted and treated with sodium hydroxide to release sulfur dioxide. The solution
is then acidified and the sulfurous acid determined by titration with a standard iodine solution
using starch as an end point indicator. This method applies to high fructose syrups that contain
sulfur dioxide at levels below 20 ppm.

EQUIPMENT
1. Microburet: 5 ml capacity (Note 1) with 0.01 ml subdivisions and a tolerance of + 0.01 ml.
Fisher Catalog No. 20-105A, Fisher Scientific Company, 1600 West Glendale Avenue,
Itasca, IL 60143.
2. Stirring Apparatus: A magnetic stirrer is recommended.
REAGENTS
1. Sodium hydroxide solution, 1.5 N: Dissolve 60 g of reagent grade sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
in 500 ml purified water in a 1000 ml volumetric flask. Mix, cool and dilute to volume.
2. Sulfuric Acid Solution, 2.0 N: Dilute 55.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (96% H2SO4, sp g
1.84) to 1 liter with purified water. Cool and adjust concentration to obtain a titer of 15.0 +
0.2 ml against 20.0 ml of the 1.5 N sodium hydroxide solution, using a phenolphthalein
indicator end point.
3. Sodium Thiosulfate Solution, 0.1 N: This solution is available commercially from various
vendors. Boil 2.5 L of water for 20 minutes in a 3 L flask. Close the flask with a vented

ASCARITE absorbent.
Weigh 49.6 g of reagent grade sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate (Na2S2O35H2O); transfer to
a 2 L volumetric flask and dilute to volume with the carbon dioxide-free water. Store in a
siphon bottle with vent protected by ASCARITE or soda-lime absorbent. Reagent prepared
in this manner has a shelf life of two months or more.
Standardization:
Weigh 0.18-0.22 g of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) (dried for 2 hrs. at 100C) and
transfer quantitatively to a 300 ml iodine flask. Add 100 ml purified water, 8 ml hydrochloric
acid (37% HCl; sp g 1.19), and 10 ml of 20% potassium iodide (KI) solution. Titrate with
sodium thiosulfate solution until the yellow color almost disappears. Add 2 ml of starch
indicator and titrate drop wise, while stirring, to disappearance of the blue color.
Normality (0.1) = (wt. K2Cr2O7, g)(1000)
(Titer, ml)(49.032)

solution is equivalent to 25 ml of 0.1 N standard sodium thiosulfate solution using starch
indicator for end point detection.
5. Iodine Solution, Working Standard, 0.005 N: Using a 5 ml Class A pipet, transfer 5.0 ml of
the 0.1 N stock iodine solution into a 100 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to volume with purified
water and mix well. Make fresh daily.
6. Starch Indicator Solution, 1%: Slurry 10 g soluble starch (Lintner Starch, available from Sigma
Chemical, P.O. Box 14508, St. Louis, Missouri 63178) in 50 ml of cold purified water. Transfer
quantitatively to 1 L of boiling purified water and stir until completely dissolved. Cool and add 1 g of
salicylic acid preservative. Transfer to a suitable reagent bottle and store in a refrigerator. Discard
after one month.
7. Phenolphthalein Indicator, 1%: Dissolve 10.0 g of phenolphthalein powder in 750 ml of ethanol and
dilute with distilled water.

PROCEDURE

1. Accurately weigh 100 g of corn syrup into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask; weigh 50 g if the sulfur
dioxide level is more than 8 ppm.
2. Add sufficient purified water to bring total weight to 200 g (Note 3).
3. Mix the syrup and water until the solution is homogenous.
4. Cool to 10C or below (Note 4).
5. Place cold sample on a magnetic stirrer and stir at a rate sufficient to produce a small vortex
at the solution surface.
6. Add 10 ml of cold 1.5 N sodium hydroxide solution and stir for 15 to 20 seconds. Add 10 ml
of starch indicator solution (Note 5) and 10 ml of cold 2.0 N sulfuric acid solution; titrate
immediately with 0.005 N standard iodine solution until a light blue color persists for one
minute.
7. Perform a blank titration using 200 ml of purified water and all reagents.

0.02 ml be used when analyzing samples containing more than 8 ppm sulfur dioxide (Fisher
Catalog No. 20-105B).
2. The 0.1 N stock iodine solution may be standardized against arsenic trioxide (As2O3)
(National Institute of Science and Technology, U.S. Department of Commerce, Sample 83).
Dry Primary Standard Grade arsenic trioxide at 105C for 1 hr. Accurately weigh dried 0.18-
0.22 g arsenic trioxide in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Dissolve in 10 ml of 1.0 N sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) and add 75 ml of purified water. Add 10 ml of 1.0 N hydrochloric acid
(HCl) and 20 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution. Add 2 ml of starch
indicator and titrate with iodine solution to appearance of first permanent blue tinge.
Normality = (wt. As2O3, g)(1000)
(Titer, ml)(49.6)
3. To provide the best potential for detecting the visual end point of volumetric titration,
constant volume is recommended. This eliminates variation due to inability to detect the end
point consistently.
4. Starch indicator sensitivity may be lost and conversion reaction may occur under alkaline
conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to cool the sample solution and keep all reagents at a
temperature of 10C or below, in order to maintain stability.
5. Some sources recommend as little as 1 ml starch indicator solution; 10 ml is recommended
in this procedure to assist end point detection.

Acetaldehyde
ABSTRACT
Acetaldehyde is released from the syrup by treatment with dilute phosphoric acid and heat. The
liberated acetaldehyde is then measured using a head space gas chromatographic system
equipped with a flame ionization detector. Results are reported at 11 d.s.

EQUIPMENT
1. Gas Chromatograph: A single column gas chromatograph equipped with a head space
sampling assembly and a flame ionization detector is required. An integrator or computer
should be a part of the system (Note 1).
2. Gas Chromatograph Column- Packed: A 6’ x 1/8” stainless steel column packed with
Porapak S, 80 - 100 mesh.
3. Gas Chromatograph Column- Capillary column: 30m x 0.53mm Supel-Q PLOT from
Supelco, part # 25462 or equivalent.
4. Sample vials, caps, seals and crimping and decapping tools (Note 2).
5. Autopipetor: Units capable of reproducibly delivering aqueous solutions to within ±0.1%
(Note 3).
REAGENTS
1. Chromatographic purity water. Purified water is recommended (Note 4).
2. Bottler’s acid: Weigh accurately 12.2g of 85.0% phosphoric acid into a one liter volumetric
flask, dilute to volume with distilled water and mix thoroughly. Adjust weight based on actual
analysis of phosphoric acid.
3. Ethylidene Glucose Stock Solution (5.62ppm) for Calibration: Accurately weigh 56.2mg of
4,6-0-ethylidene-D-glucose (Aldrich catalogue #E3275-4 or Pfaltz and Bauer catalogue
#E11450) into a beaker, and transfer to a one liter volumetric flask using purified water,
dilute to volume. Then prepare a 5.62ppm solution by diluting 100ml of this solution to one
liter with distilled water. Store capped in the refrigerator.
Safety Precautions:
1. 85% phosphoric acid: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well ventilated area. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. For more information,
consult the Material Safety Data Sheet.
2. The vials and seals used in this method are rated significantly higher than the 30 psig
pressurization during analysis and the pressure generated during heating at 100°C during
hydrolysis of acetaldehyde adducts. However, care should be taken during heating to avoid
superheating and violent bumping between vials or the sides of the heating vessel. A wire
holder for the vials and a shatterproof screen for the heating bath are advised.

Note: all vials need to be mixed thoroughly. To insure complete mixing check for striations in
sample.
For samples with other % d.s., the sample and water amount must be recalculated. For a
77 x 1.5
sample with a % ds the amount of syrup to be weighed is: g;
a
77 x 1.5
the amount of water to be added is: 10 - ml.
a
Incubate all vials, standards and samples, in a boiling water bath for a minimum of 60 minutes.
Place samples and vials into the headspace auto sampler. Analyze samples using conditions
as described under "Instrument parameters". (NOTE 7)
Inject sample via headspace autosampler and measure peak height or peak area of
acetaldehyde.

CALCULATIONS
The concentration of acetaldehyde (A2) expressed in nanog per gram (ppb) of 11 d.s. sample,
detected after heating at 60°C for one hour boiling, is obtained by the following:

Acetaldehyde, ppb (11d.s. basis): Make a calibration curve (linear regression) using the peak
height/areas of the acetaldehyde height/peak in the standards and the concentration of
acetaldehyde in the standards. Calculate the level of acetaldehyde in the unknown samples with
this calibration curve.
The calibration curve uses the standard formula of Y= mx+b generated by the instrument
software where:
Y= peak height/area
x= nanog per gram acetaldehyde, 11 ds basis
m= slope of line
b= the y-intercept

NOTES

1. Automated head space gas chromatographic systems are recommended. PE


AutoSystem XL GC with an HS40 XL headspace sampler or equivalent.
2. Seals give off various volatile impurities, and should be selected to minimize
interferences during acetaldehyde measurements.
3. Autopipetors such as the BrandTech “Dispensette III”, available through Fisher Scientific
are recommended.
4. Purified water must be used to prepare all reagents and blanks to avoid contamination.
5. With 9.0ml vials, water blanks and acetaldehyde standards are prepared using 5.00ml
total. Samples are prepared using one-half the amounts stated in the test for 20ml vials.
6. Dilute solutions of ethylidene glucose (molecular weight = 206) hydrolyze under the
influence of acid and heat to generate an equimolar amount of acetaldehyde (molecular
weight =44). Thus, a range of standards are prepared using equal amounts of 5.62ppm
ethylidene glucose and 1% H3PO4 diluted to 10ml, sealed in head space vials and
boiled for one hour to produce the desired µg/l acetaldehyde.
7. If equilibrated syrup samples are not to be run within three hours after boiling, vials
should be refrigerated. Also, if the number of vials used significantly drops the
temperature of the boiling water bath, the timer for the one hour equilibrium time should
be started only after boiling is re-attained.
8. Attenuation of chromatog may be necessary to keep the A2 peak on scale (retention
time should be approximately 1.9 to 3.0 min, depending on column and flow rate.

Isovaleraldehyde (IVA)
ABSTRACT
The objective of this method is to determine accurately the amount of isovaleraldehyde (IVA), also
known as 3-methyl butanal, in HFS 55 and 42. Isovaleraldehyde has been found in HFS and
shown to adversely affect the taste and odor of beverages.
IVA is released from the syrup with the aid of dilute phosphoric acid and heat. The liberated IVA is
then measured using a headspace gas chromatographic system equipped with a flame ionization
detector. Results are reported at 11% DS (dry substance). The method is applicable to the
analysis of HFS 55 and 42, as well as process streams. The lower detection limit is 2 ppb (ng/g or
g/Kg) IVA for capillary column and 5 ppb (ng/g or g/Kg) for packed column.

Isovaleraldehyde (IVA)
From the calibration equation the total nanog of IVA in the sample solutions may be calculated
Total nanog IVA= (IVA Peak Area) –82.77
13.572
A sample of 77% DS HFS was subjected to the HS-GC procedure and the IVA peak area was
found to be 504. Total nanog of IVA in the sample solution was calculated to be
Total nanog IVA= (504) –82.77 = 31 nanog
13.572
IVA (ng/g) = 31 ng/10.5 g = 3 ng/g = 3 g/Kg.

Reporting:
For final HFS samples, report ng/g or g/Kg IVA on 11% DS basis. For process streams,
report at solids level of sample.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
A. Isovaleraldehyde: Flammable. Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Avoid breathing vapors.
Causes skin irritation. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water

Hydroxymethyl Furfural (HMF) and Furfural (FFA)

ABSTRACT
The analysis of 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) and 2-furfural (FFA) is important for assessing
the quality of nutritive sweeteners. HMF is a dehydration product of ketohexoses, while FFA is a
dehydration product of ketopentoses. Both can contribute to off tastes and odors in beverages
when present at elevated levels. HMF and FFA are analyzed by HPLC using UV detection on a
C18 column. This method is used for sugars and high fructose syrups and is not suitable for
caramel-containing beverages. Caramel may contribute 20-30% to the final HMF-FFA
concentrations. The reproducibility of this method is 5%.

B. Standard Preparation
1. Weigh 1 drop of 2AP into 100 ml volumetric (14 – 25 mg). Record weight ± 0.0001 g. Add 25
ml of Acetonitrile (to solubilize) then dilute to volume with HPLC grade water and mix. This is
the first working solution (140-250 ppm) and should be protected from light (i.e. wrapped in
foil) and refrigerated.
2. Calculate volume of solution needed to make 200 ppb in 1000 ml of solution. Using the
Eppendorf pipette, transfer this amount of the working solution to a 1000-ml volumetric flask.
This is the second working solution.
3. Calibration standards should be made up in 1000-ml volumetric flasks, and dilutions made
with calibrated volumetric pipettes. Recommended concentrations are 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 ppb.
These are made by taking 25, 10, 5, and 2.5 ml aliquots of the 200 ppb working solution
made in step 2.
4. Use 10 and 20 ml aliquots of the 0.5 ppb standard to make 0.1 and 0.2 ppb standards,
respectively, in 50 ml volumetric flasks.
C. Sample Preparation: (In-Process and Final 42 and 55 HFS)
1. Weigh 1 g of sample into a 4-ml screw cap vial. Record the weight ± 0.0001 g, then dilute to

Floc Potential
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this test is to determine the potential of floc problems occurring in beverages
during storage for 10 days. The formation of a floc (feathery or snowflake-like sediment) in
acidified sweetener solutions of high density at low pH has caused problems in beverages. The
cause of the acid-floc has been traced to residual constituents from the plant, which is not fully
understood. Floc-like appearance problems may also result from the coagulation of beverage
components.

Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe) by AA/ICP with Ashing
ABSTRACT
Trace metals (copper and iron) in high fructose syrups are analyzed by either flame atomic
absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP).
The sample is ashed by wet or dry ashing. The resultant ash is solubilized and diluted. The
solution is aspirated into the instrument that then atomizes the sample, enabling atoms to
absorb/emit radiation specific to each element. The amount of absorption in AAS or the amount
of emission in ICP at a specific wavelength is proportional to the concentration of the element.
The concentration of the element in solution is determined from a calibration curve of known
reference standards. Detection limit of this method is 0.5 mg/kg.

EQUIPMENT
1. Vented Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer with gas controls, assorted burner heads and hollow
cathode or electrode discharge lamps. Source of clean compressed air, acetylene, and other required
gases. Equipment should be well maintained with good response per unit concentration, e.g., 0.200
abs or above for a standard copper solution of 4 g/ml. Use oxidizing flame for copper as well as iron
analysis. Adjust wave length to 324.7 nm for copper and 248.3 nm for iron. Adjust slit to 0.7 nm for
copper and 0.2 nm for iron.
OR

exposures, 1 off line exposure); forward power, 1.1 KW; reflected power, <5 watts; sample uptake
rate (w/pump), 0.8 ml/min; observation height, 16 mm above load coil (optimized for Mn). The
operating parameters may be different for different equipment, use manufacturer’s guidelines to
decide these parameters.
2. Muffle furnace, Sand bath, Heat Lamp (for dry ash); Hot plate
3. Acid washed quartz or platinum crucibles (for dry ash)

ABSTRACT
Isovaleraldehyde (IVA) and acetaldehyde are released from the syrup with the aid
of dilute phosphoric acid and heat. The liberated compounds are then measured
using a headspace gas chromatographic system equipped with a flame ionization
detector. Isovaleraldehyde and acetaldehyde results are reported at 11% D.S. for
finished sweeteners. It is important to keep the headspace volume the same or it
will have an effect on the final concentrations. Because of this, the volume of the
preparation vials is important to maintain.

8. GC cycle time: 23.5 minutes

9. Needle withdraw time: 0.5 minutes

PROCEDURE

Standard Preparation:
1.Prepare five vials with caps.

2. Weigh 1.5000 ± 0.0050 g of blank syrup into each vial.

3. Pipette purified water, the spiking solution of acetaldehyde and IVA, and
phosphoric acid into each vial in the quantities shown in Table 2. The
phosphoric acid is added last into each vial.

4. Immediately cap the vial and crimp it tightly. These vials should not be left for
any period of time with stock solution in them unless they are capped.

Sample Preparation:
1.For 42 FX samples, weigh 1.6000 ± 0.0050 g of sample into a vial, and to this
pipette 7.9 ml of deionized water, then 1.0 ml of phosphoric acid; cap and crimp
tightly. Table 2 summarizes the 42 FX sample preparation.

2.For 55 FX samples, weigh 1.5000 ± 0.0050 g of sample into a vial, and to this
pipette 8.0 ml of deionized water, then 1.0 ml of phosphoric acid; cap and crimp
tightly. Table 2 summarizes the 55 FX sample preparation.

3.All vials are then mix thoroughly and then placed in a boiling water bath for 60
minutes. The samples are then transferred to the headspace analyzer and are ready
to be analyzed on the GC.

CALCULATIONS
Results are calculated using a 5-point calibration curve. The calibration standards
consist of the blank syrup and each of the four prepared standards. The blank is
subtracted from each standard and then a line equation is created with the corrected
standards (x-axis is the standard concentration, the y-axis is the peak area). The
concentration of components, expressed in parts per billion of 11% D.S. finished
product samples, can be determined by the following equation:

Y= mx+b where:

Y= peak area

APPENDIX I – INTRODUCTION TO SOLIDS TABLES

The solids and weight per unit volume are two of the most important characteristics of a
carbohydrate system. They provide the user with information necessary to formulate a
finished product to exacting specifications. In most manufacturing operations, these are
determined by indirect means, e.g., °Baume’ or °Brix for reasons of cost and speed.
The properties of any carbohydrate system are dependent upon the components and their
concentration. Since high fructose syrups exists at various fructose levels, and as new
density models become available, it may be necessary to update the relationships
between the primary properties and the conventional secondary means of measurement.
The revisions to the RI-DS tables for this publication were synchronized to the CRA (Corn
Refiners Association) RI-DS Software Version 3 available on the CRA web site at
www.corn.org. Under contract from the CRA – John Rasche created the ISBT2 table
generation software applying the same algorithms used in the CRA RI-DS Version 2.
Reference notes for the ISBT2 table generation software are included in the Notes section
of this publication
Two detailed tables are included (Appendix II – HFS 42, and Appendix III- HFS 55) which
contain a great deal of physical data about each syrup. The HFS 42 table ranges from
0.00% to 75.00% solids in 0.1% increments and the HFS 5 table ranges from 0.00% to
80.00% solids. These tables were generated using carbohydrate and ash profiles which,
reflect the typical profiles seen for HFS in North America (see pages 52 & 76). Tables
using other profiles can be obtained using the CRA RI/DS Software.
A description of columns found in Appendices II & III is as follows:
Column 1: % Solids in High Fructose Syrup.
Columns 2 and 3: These two columns demonstrate the relationships between solids and
refractive index at two temperatures, 20°C and 45°C, as described in published work2.
Columns 4 and 5: °Brix reading refractometers will yield low results for high fructose corn
syrups. For example, in HFCS-42, a °Brix refractometer calibrated according to the 1936
ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) relationship
would give a reading of 69.76% for a solids of 71%. Even though the 1966 ICUMSA
model is better for sucrose, it still provides erroneously low values for high fructose corn
syrup.
Column 6: True density values (in g per milliliter) are based on published work (Notes 3 &
4).
Columns 7, 8 and 9: Apparent specific gravity (sp. grav.) in air is the ratio of the mass at
the indicated temperature to the mass of an equal volume of water at the same
temperature. Example: Water at 20°C weighs 8.322 pounds per gallon and a syrup sample
has a sp. grav. of 1.35022 (20°C/20°C). Therefore, one gallon of the sample (71.00%
solids ) at 20°C would have a total weight of 11.237 pounds (1.35022 x 8.322 = 11.237).
Solids weight would be the total weight multiplied by the decimal equivalent of the %
solids. In the example, pounds of solids per gallon would be 7.978 pound.
Column 10: This column gives the °Brix corresponding to the solids in Column 1. This
clearly demonstrates that the use of a °Brix hydrometer for the determination of solids will
yield low results which become pronounced at high levels.

Density of water (0% ds) is 0.99823 in the ISBT 42% fructose table (published 1994). The
notes on page 2-1 for Column 6 indicates "True density values (in g per milliliter) are
based on published work (Notes 3 & 4). These notes are a paper by Wartman, et al (1984)
and Maxwell, et al (1984), both in J. Agric Food Chem, 1984, 32, pages 971 - 979. The
definition of a milliliter was changed in 1962 from the volume of 1.00000 g of water at its
maximum density (3.98 C). The
absolute density of water at 3.98 C is 0.999972 g per cc, therefore a milliliter before 1962
was 1.000028 cc. In 1962 the milliliter was changed to a volume of 1.0000000 cc, so
absolute density was the same, whether expressed in CGS units of g/cc or in the alternate
units of g/ml.
Absolute density of water at 3.98 C is 0.999972 g/cc
Relative density of water at 3.98 C is 0.999972 / 0.999972 or 1.00000 g/ml (old definition)
Absolute density of water at 20 C is 0.998204 g/cc
The relative density at 20 C is 0.998204 / 0.999972 or 0.99823 g/ml (old definition)
The referenced papers in J. Agric. Food Chem refer to ml and density, but do not talk of
either relative density or absolute density. A paper titled RI-DS (Refractive Index - Dry
Substance), Program and Tables for Commercial Corn Syrups and High Fructose Corn
Syrups, Copyright © 1989, Corn Refiners Association, Inc. refers to the DOS program
diskette. In the Appendix is an equation for "Density of Water (Gildseth, et al.), labeled
"Useful Water Relationships". This equation is from a paper, Precision Measurements of
Densities and Thermal Dilation of Water
Between 5 C and 80 C, Wayne Gildseth, Anton Habenschuss, and Frank H. Spedding,
Ames Laboratory - USAEC and Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Ames,
Iowa 50010, on pages 402 - 409 of Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data, Vol. 17,
No. 4, 1972. This paper shows the "density of water, g/ml" as 1.0000000 at 4 C, and
0.9982336 at 20 C. These match relative density for water, where the ml is defined as
1.000028 cc before it was changed to
1.00000000 cc in 1962.
Note 4. The equation relating "density" with Hydrometer Brix below, used a constant "a" of
0.99823167, very close to the relative density of water at 20 C. The density at 0% ds in the
ISBT table corresponds to relative density used before 1962 and matches the "a" in the
Hydrometer Brix equation. The new CRA tables solve for Hydrometer Brix by converting
absolute density (g/cc) into relative density (ratio of water density at 20 C divided by water
density at 3.98 C) before finding the value of Hydrometer Brix which gives the target
relative density.

Issue Date: March 2003


These guidelines were first published in 1994 and then subsequently updated in 1999.
A group of volunteers representing various soft drink companies, High Fructose Syrup
manufacturers, and testing laboratories collaborated to assess the 1999 guidelines,
align on changes, and develop new materials for inclusion.

The 2003 version has undergone several changes, which have improved the technical
content of the manual and expanded its application to syrups made from sources of
starch other than corn.

Significant changes include the addition of new standards and methods, as well as, the
addition of a new Storage and Handling Section.

Titratable Acidity and Sulfonated Polystyrene standards were removed from the list as
the group found those standards to no longer be relevant.

Additionally all sections and many test methods along with the RI/DS tables were
updated with the best available information.

These guidelines should be considered relevant to 42 and 55% fructose syrups made
from starches obtained from the following raw materials: corn, wheat, tapioca, potato &
sweet potato.
