NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 5) (Second Revision) which is identical to ISO 1442 : 2023 'Meat and meat products - Determination of moisture content - Reference method' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Slaughter House and Meat Industry Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.
This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:
| (Part 1) | Determination of nitrogen content |
| (Part 2) | Determination of total ash |
| (Part 3) | Determination of total fat content |
| (Part 4) | Determination of free fat content |
| (Part 6) | Determination of chloride content |
| (Sec 1) | Volhard method |
| (Sec 2) | Potentiometric method |
| (Part 7) | Determination of nitrite content |
| (Part 8) | Determination of nitrate content |
| (Part 10) | Measurement of pH - Reference method |
| (Part 11) | Determination of glucono-delta-lactone content |
| (Part 12) | Determination of L-(+)-glutamic acid content - Reference method |
| (Part 13) | Detection of condensed phosphates |
| (Part 14) | Determination of starch content |
| (Part 15) | Determination of L ( -) hydroxyproline content |
| (Part 17) | Determination of starch and glucose content - Enzymatic method |
This standard (Part 5) was originally published in 1971 and was subsequently revised in 2001 as identical adoption of ISO 1442 : 1997 'Meat and meat products - Determination of moisture content (reference method)' under dual numbering. Subsequently, ISO 1442 was revised in 2023. Accordingly, the second revision of the standard has been undertaken to harmonize with the latest version of ISO 1442 and is an identical adoption of the ISO document under dual numbering.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
