EN 1230 consists of the following parts, under the general title Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs Sensory analysis: Part 1: Odour Part 2: Off-flavour (taint) Annexes A, B and C are informative; Annex D is normative. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3

SS- Provläsningsexemplar / Preview Introduction The taint test is valid for evaluation of whether the material to be tested may bring about a change in the taste (flavour) of the food to be in contact with the material. The test serves for evaluating the possible off-flavour transmitted from a paper and board intended for food packaging or otherwise to come into contact with foodstuffs. According to the results conclusions may be drawn as to the suitability of the material tested for packaging of foodstuffs. For evaluation of the test substance three alternative testing procedures are described: a) the triangle test; b) the extended triangle test; c) the multicomparison test. It is recommended to use the triangle test when rating of the intensity of taint is not needed. This test is less affected by the presence of atypical data than the multicomparison test. The multicomparison test may be preferred when a large number of samples are to be tested, as this procedure is less time consuming compared to the triangle tests. It is also the most common sensory test applied for evaluation of paper and board. The method is statistically less efficient than the triangle test. NOTE The triangle and the extended triangle tests are described in detail in ISO 5492. The multicomparison test is not described in any ISO Standard. In order to give reliable results this test should be performed by selected assessors. The result may be influenced by the time elapsed between manufacturing and testing as well as by the storage conditions of the paper or board. "Part 1: Odour" comprises the corresponding method for the estimation of odour originating from paper or board intended for food contact. 4

SS- 1 Scope This European Standard specifies whether a paper or board sample contains substances which may be transmitted through the air space to a test substance and affect its taste. It is applicable to all kinds of paper and board, including coated and printed material, intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. It is not applicable for the determination of consumers' preference. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 186:2002, Paper and board Sampling to determine average quality (ISO 186:2002) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 taste sensations perceived by the taste organ when stimulated by certain soluble substances 3.2 flavour complex combination of the olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal sensations perceived during tasting NOTE The flavour may be influenced by tactile, thermal, painful and/or kinaesthesic effects. [ISO 5492] 3.3 taint taste or odour foreign to the product 3.4 off-flavour atypical flavour often associated with deterioration or transformation of the product NOTE For simplicity, taste and flavour are used as synonyms in this European Standard, though this is not exactly in accordance with ISO 5492. The same regards taint and off-flavour. 3.5 sample the aggregate of all the specimens taken from the lot to provide information on the average quality of the lot and possibly serve as a basis for a decision on the lot [EN ISO 186:2002] 5

SS- Provläsningsexemplar / Preview 3.6 test piece the piece or pieces of paper or board on which the measurement is carried out in accordance with the stipulations of the methods of test NOTE The test piece is generally taken from a specimen; in some instances the test piece may be the specimen itself, or several specimens. [EN ISO 186] 3.7 test substance foodstuff intended to be packed, or a suitable test food product 3.8 test portion portion of the test sample which is directly tested by the assessor 3.8.1 test portion for analysis the quantity of test substance which has been stored along with the test pieces 3.8.2 test portion for control the quantity of test substance which has been stored in the same way but without test piece 3.9 assessor any person taking part in a sensory test 3.10 selected assessor assessor chosen for his/her ability to perform a sensory test 3.11 triangle test method of difference testing involving the simultaneous presentation of three coded samples, two of which are identical NOTE The assessor is asked to select the sample perceived as different. [ISO 5492] 3.12 extended triangle test triangle test where one portion is a test portion for analysis, and two are test portions for control NOTE The assessor is asked to give a rating of the sample which he/she finds odd. 3.13 multicomparison test test where the assessor is asked to give a rating of the intensity of the difference in taste between test portions for analysis and a known test portion for control 6

SS- 4 Principle Test pieces of the material to be examined are stored in glass jars together with the test substance for 44 h to 48 h at (23 ± 2) C at specified humidity, in the dark. The selected humidity (as given in 5.2 or 5.3) depends on the foreseeable use and/or an agreement with the customer. The selected humidity shall be stated in the test report. The test substance does not come into direct contact with the test piece. Any taint transferred to the test substance is evaluated by a panel consisting of selected assessors. Three alternative procedures are described for the evaluation of the possible taint intensity: a) the triangle test (one test portion for analysis and two for control, or vice versa, are presented to the assessor who is required to pick out the odd sample); b) the extended triangle test (the assessor is given one test portion for analysis and two for control. He/she is required to pick out the odd sample and evaluate the intensity of its possible taint); c) the multicomparison test (the assessor is required to score the intensity of one or several test portions for analysis, compared to a known test portion for control, which holds the taint intensity value of 0). The intensity of the taint is evaluated by the use of a scale from 0 to 4 and the calculation of the median. A statistical significance test is performed in case of the triangle or extended triangle test. 5 Reagents 5.1 Test substance Whenever possible use the same sort of food as is intended to be packed in the material to be tested. If this is not possible a suitable test food product shall be chosen in agreement with the customer. NOTE Foodstuffs are mostly too heterogeneous and non uniform or may have an intense intrinsic aroma so that they might be unsuitable for testing. In addition, it might be difficult, after two days storage, to differentiate between the taint originating from the foodstuff itself and from the paper or board to be tested. The following test food products are given as examples: a) for meat, meat-based products, cheese and butter: butter or margarine; b) for fatty-food: milk chocolate, grated or sliced into thin chips or coconut oil. Store the chocolate at room temperature, but move it into a refrigerator 0,5 h to 1 h before grating; it is recommended to store the coconut oil in the refrigerator; c) for dry, non-fatty-food: icing sugar or crushed biscuits without flavouring substances; d) for dairy products and other liquids: water. 5.2 Saturated magnesium nitrate solution Add 130 g of pure Mg (NO 3 ) 2 6 H 2 O to 100 ml of odour-free tap water and allow the salt to dissolve to give a saturated solution standing over excess salt. A relative humidity of about 53 % prevails in a closed vessel with the aid of this solution. 5.3 Saturated sodium chloride solution Add 50 g of pure NaCl to 100 ml of odour-free tap water and allow the salt to dissolve to give a saturated solution standing over excess salt. A relative humidity of about 75 % prevails in a closed vessel with the aid of this solution. 7
