Overview

SIST EN ISO 11052:2007 specifies a standardized method for the determination of yellow pigment content in durum wheat flour and semolina (Triticum durum L.). Published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard adopts the methods outlined in ISO 11052:1994 and EN ISO 11052:2006. The yellow pigment, primarily carotenoids, is a key quality attribute influencing the appearance of durum wheat products such as pasta.

This internationally harmonized standard is essential for food manufacturers, laboratories, and quality control organizations seeking consistent and reliable measurement of yellow pigment levels to ensure product quality and compliance across global markets.

Key Topics

  • Analytical Method: Describes the photometric determination of yellow pigment content after extracting carotenoids with water-saturated n-butanol.
  • Scope: Applies specifically to durum wheat flour and semolina, important for pasta production and related products.
  • Quality Control: Facilitates uniform assessment and comparison of yellow pigment content, critical for food appearance and consumer acceptance.
  • Reproducibility: Provides guidance on repeatability and precision to support interlaboratory consistency.
  • Sample Preparation: Outlines requirements for representative samples and correct particle size for accurate measurement.
  • Reporting: Specifies data to be included in test reports, ensuring full transparency and traceability.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 11052:2007 is widely recognized in the food industry, especially in cereal and milling sectors. Its key practical applications include:

  • Food Manufacturing Quality Assurance: Used by pasta and semolina producers to ensure that the flour and semolina meet required color specifications, directly impacting consumer preference.
  • Lab Testing and Certification: Laboratories employ this standard for official testing, certification, and labeling of durum wheat flour products.
  • Trade and Compliance: Provides a harmonized reference to meet international and European Union regulations, facilitating exports and imports of durum wheat products.
  • Research and Development: Essential for plant breeders and agricultural researchers aiming to develop durum wheat varieties with optimized color properties.
  • Supplier Qualification: Helps manufacturers assess the quality and consistency of raw materials sourced from different suppliers.

Related Standards

Organizations implementing SIST EN ISO 11052:2007 may find the following standards relevant:

  • ISO 712 - Cereals and cereal products - Determination of moisture content (Routine reference method): Used for accurate sample moisture correction in pigment determination.
  • ISO 2170 - Cereals and pulses - Sampling of milled products: Describes recommended procedures for obtaining representative test samples.
  • ISO 5725 - Precision of test methods - Determination of repeatability and reproducibility by inter-laboratory tests: Supports quality assurance through standardized precision evaluation.
  • EN ISO 11052:2006 - European adoption of the ISO method, harmonized across member countries.

By adhering to SIST EN ISO 11052:2007, stakeholders benefit from a reliable, recognized method for yellow pigment determination, essential for quality control, regulatory compliance, and maintaining consumer trust in durum wheat-based products. This standard supports best practices within the global cereals and food industry supply chain.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 11052 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISODC 34, Agricultural food products, Subcommittee SC 4, Cereals and
pulses.
