ANNEX IIMETHODS OF ANALYSIS RELATING TO THE COMPOSITION OF EDIBLE CASEINS AND CASEINATES

METHOD 4

DETERMINATION OF ASH (including P2O5)

7.EXPRESSION OF RESULTS

7.1.Method of calculation

The content of ash, including P2O5, in the sample, as a percentage by mass, is given by:

m1 — m2 — m3 — m4m0× 100math

where:

m0

is the mass, in grams, of the test portion;

m1

is the mass, in grams, of dish A and residue;

m2

is the mass, in grams, of the prepared dish A;

m3

is the mass, in grams, of dish B and residue;

m4

is the mass, in grams, of the prepared dish B.

Calculate the final result to the nearest 0,01 %.
