Introduction
The KS H ISO 3593-2008 (2023) standard, published by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), provides detailed methodologies for determining ash content in starch products. This technical specification is an adaptation of the international ISO 3593:2008 guideline and aims to ensure uniformity in testing practices across various laboratories within South Korea. The determination of ash content is crucial as it reflects impurities or non-starch components in starch, which can affect its quality and utility in food and industrial applications. The standard outlines precise procedures for sample preparation, incineration, cooling, weighing, and calculation to obtain accurate results. It emphasizes the importance of using appropriate equipment such as crucibles, muffle furnaces, and analytical balances calibrated according to international standards. Additionally, the document specifies conditions under which tests should be conducted, including temperature control during ashing and requirements for reagents used in cleaning and washing steps. Compliance with KS H ISO 3593-2008 (2023) ensures that starch manufacturers and regulators adhere to a standardized approach when assessing product purity. This helps maintain high quality standards across the supply chain, from raw material sourcing to final product distribution. Furthermore, it facilitates comparison between different batches or products by providing a consistent methodology for ash content determination.
