Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the terminology and definitions, product classification, technical requirements, testing methods, inspection rules, and product marking, labeling, packaging, transportation, and storage requirements for ancient-method brown sugar. This document applies to the production, operation, testing, labeling, and other related fields of ancient-method brown sugar. Main technical content: (1) Scope: It defines the definition, classification, technical requirements, testing methods, inspection rules, and product marking, labeling, packaging, transportation, and storage of ancient-method brown sugar, and refines them based on the actual situation of the local sugar industry. (2) Technical requirements: Including sensory requirements, physical and chemical indicators, pollutant indicators, microbial limits, and biological indicators, which are refined based on the actual situation of the Xincheng County sugar industry. (3) Sensory requirements: Color, odor, taste, and texture, reflecting the unique flavor of ancient-method brown sugar. The color requirement is brownish red or yellowish brown, with uniform color and no impurities; the odor requirement is to have the natural fragrance of sugarcane, without any odor; the taste is sweet with a long aftertaste; and the texture requirements are powdery, granular, or blocky. (4) Physical and chemical indicators: Total sugar and water-insoluble impurities, reflecting the nutritional value of ancient-method brown sugar. Through laboratory testing and comparison of three batches of samples, it was found that the nutritional elements such as calcium, magnesium, and iron in ancient-method brown sugar are relatively high, indicating its rich nutritional value. (5) Pollutant limits: Requirements for heavy metals (lead, calculated as Pb) and total arsenic (calculated as As). Through laboratory testing and comparison of three batches of samples, the pollutant limits in the finished product of ancien
