Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to food additive distilled glycerin monostearate, specifically produced through the reaction of hydrogenated palm oil with glycerin and purified via molecular distillation. It is strictly applicable to products used as emulsifiers in the food industry. The standard outlines the technical requirements, testing methods, and labeling for this specific chemical substance.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard specifies both sensory indicators and physicochemical limits for the additive. Sensory requirements dictate that the product must appear as an off-white or light yellow waxy or powdery solid, being odorless and tasteless. Regarding physicochemical parameters, the standard mandates strict thresholds for the primary active component, requiring a minimum monostearate content to ensure purity. It also sets maximum limits for the iodine value and free acid content (calculated as stearic acid) to control oxidation and rancidity. Additionally, the standard defines the acceptable thermal characteristics, specifically the solidification point range, to ensure consistent physical behavior. Safety parameters are heavily emphasized through strict maximum limits for heavy metals and arsenic to meet food-grade safety requirements.

Métodos de ensayo

Testing procedures involve visual and olfactory inspections for sensory evaluation. Chemical composition is verified through titrimetric analysis, specifically utilizing the Wijs method for the iodine value and sodium thiosulfate titration for active content determination. GB 618 is referenced for solidification point determination. Furthermore, safety testing for heavy metals and arsenic is conducted using dry digestion methods in accordance with GB 8451 and GB 8450 respectively.

Preguntas frecuentes

What products are regulated under GB 15612-1995?

This standard applies specifically to distilled glycerin monostearate produced via the reaction of hydrogenated palm oil with glycerin, followed by purification through molecular distillation. It is primarily used as an emulsifier in the food industry.

How does GB 15612-1995 differ from other food additive standards for glycerin monostearate?

GB 15612-1995 specifically addresses the *distilled* grade of glycerin monostearate, requiring a minimum monostearate content of 90.0%. It should be distinguished from GB 1986, which covers the standard 40% monostearate variant.

What are the packaging and shelf-life requirements under this standard?

The standard mandates that packaging be clearly labeled with the words "food additive" along with production details. It also specifies a shelf life of two years from the production date when stored in its original packaging under proper conditions.
