5.3 Addition of reagents Add 10 ml of purified water to each 50 ml tube or 20 ml to each 100 ml tube. Add 5 ml of KOH solution (3.10.2) if the material was weighed into a 50 ml tube or add 10 ml of KOH solution (3.10.2) if the material was weighed into a 100 ml tube. Seal the vessels and swirl or use a vortex apparatus to mix. Avoid inverting as this may allow the sample to adhere to the inner walls of the vessel above the level of digestion solution. Proceed to 5.4 or to 5.5. 5.4 Oven digestion Digest the samples in an oven (4.2) set to maintain 105 °C ± 5 °C until the dissolution of iodine is complete, approximately 1 h. The digestion vessels may either be tightened completely or loosened slightly while in the oven. Carefully swirl by hand each digestion vessel at approximately halfway through the digestion/extraction procedure. After removal of the samples from the oven, add 1 ml of stabilizer concentrate (3.10.3) to the 50 ml tube or add 2 ml if the material was weighed into a 100 ml tube. Allow the samples to cool to room temperature. Alternatively, allow samples to cool to room temperature first and then add the stabilizer concentrate. If 50 ml or 100 ml vessels were used for digestion, bring the samples to a final volume of 50 ml or 100 ml respectively with purified water. Cap all vessels and then invert a minimum of three times to mix thoroughly. 5.5 Open vessel microwave digestion Place the digestion vessels into the carousel of the open-vessel microwave digestion unit. If less than the maximum capacity is to be digested, distribute the vessels evenly throughout the carousel. Digest the samples in the microwave until the dissolution of iodine is complete. See Table 5 for suggested open- vessel microwave digestion parameters. Using AOAC method iodine 2012.15 [1] the parameters in Table 5, with the corresponding number of vessels, produced acceptable results for NIST SRM 1849a material for infant and adult nutritional formula.
