Standard Practice for Preparation of Solution of Solid, Pasty and Powdered Vegetable Tannin Extracts

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The concentration of tannins in solid, pasty, and powdered extracts needs to be reduced to analytical strength for tannin analyses.

4.2 Vegetable tannin extracts are heterogeneous mixtures of components with varying solubility.

4.3 The solubility of such extracts is influenced by temperature and concentration, which affect the degree of dispersion and size of the component particles.

4.4 Since extracts have greater solubility in hot water than cold, it is desirable to dissolve and disperse an extract in hot water and then let the solution cool slowly to standard room temperature.

4.5 It is often difficult to reduce samples of solid and particularly pasty extracts to specimen size and at the same time ensure representative sampling. Therefore, caution is advised in drawing conclusions on the precision and bias of the results obtained on such extracts; where difficulties in sample preparation are experienced, little confidence can be placed in the results.
