copper substitution and other steps by directly using chlorophyll as raw material.
The solvent used is acetone, dichloromethane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol,
n-hexane and (or) petroleum ether (boiling range is 90°C ~120°C).

3.1 Sensory requirements
Sensory requirements shall comply with the provisions of Table 1.
Table 1 -- Sensory requirements
Annex A
Inspection methods
A.1 General
Unless otherwise specified, the reagents and water used in this Standard shall
refer to the analytically-pure reagents AND grade 3 water specified in GB/T
6682. The standard solutions, standard solutions for impurity determination,
preparations and products used in the test are prepared in accordance with
GB/T 601, GB/T 602, and GB/T 603 when other requirements are not specified.
The solution used in the test refers to aqueous solution.
A.2 Identification test
A.2.1 Solubility
Soluble in water. Almost insoluble in low molecular weight alcohols, ketones
and ether. Insoluble in chlorinated alkanes, hydrocarbons and fixed oils.
A.2.2 Maximum absorption wavelength
Take the sample solution in the determination of potassium copper chlorophyllin
content in A.3.3.1. There are maximum absorption peaks in the two wavelength
ranges of 405nm ± 3nm and 630nm ± 3nm.
A.2.3 Copper potassium ion test
Take 1g of sample. Place in a crucible that has been burnt to constant weight
at 800°C ± 25°C. Slowly heat until the sample is completely carbonized. Cool
the carbonized sample. Use 0.5mL~1mL of sulfuric acid to wet the residue.
Continue heating until the sulfuric acid vapor is exhausted. Burn the residue to
constant weight in a high temperature furnace of 800°C ± 25°C. Add 10mL of
hydrochloric acid solution (1+3) to the residue. Heat on a water bath to dissolve.
Replenish water to 10mL after filtration, as sample solution. Perform the
following tests:
a) Take 5mL of sample solution. Add 10% ammonia solution. Show blue.
b) Take 5mL of sample solution. Add 0.5mL of 0.1% sodium
diethyldithiocarbamate solution. Generate reddish brown precipitate.
c) Take sample solution for flame test. Show purple.
A.3 Determination of potassium copper chlorophyllin content (on a dry
basis)
565 - Extinction value of a solution with a concentration of 1% in a 1cm cuvette
(100mL of solvent contains 1g of potassium copper chlorophyllin);
100 - Concentration conversion factor;
m - Mass of sample, in grams (g);
wo - Loss on drying of sample, %.
The test results are based on the arithmetic mean of the parallel determination
results. The absolute difference between two independent determination results
obtained under repeatability conditions is not more than 1.0% of the arithmetic
mean.
NOTE: Measure the loss on drying according to the direct drying method in GB 5009.3.
The drying temperature and time are 105°C and 2h respectively.
A.4 Determination of total copper (Cu)
A.4.1 Reagents and materials
Same with GB 5009.13.
A.4.2 Instruments and equipment
Same with GB 5009.13.
A.4.3 Sample processing
A.4.3.1 Microwave digestion
Weigh 0.2g~0.5g of sample, to the nearest of 0.0002g. In the microwave
digestion tank, add 5mL of nitric acid. Digest the sample according to the
microwave digestion steps. Refer to B.1 for digestion conditions. Take out the
digestion tank after cooling. Drive acid to about 1mL at 120°C~140°C. After the
digestion tank is left cold, transfer the digestion solution to a 25mL volumetric
flask. Use a small amount of grade 2 water to rinse the digestion tank 2~3 times.
Combine the washing liquid in the volumetric flask. Use grade 2 water to set
volume to the scale. Mix well for future use. Conduct the blank test at the same
time.
A.4.3.2 Dry ashing
Weigh 0.1g of sample, to the nearest of 0.0002g. In a crucible, heat with a small
fire. Carbonize to smokeless. Transfer to a 550°C muffle furnace. Conduct
ashing 3h~4h. Take out after cooling. For samples with incomplete ashing, add
a few drops of nitric acid. Heat with a small fire. Steam dry carefully. Then
transfer to the 550°C muffle furnace. Continue ashing 1h~2h till the sample is
20µL and inject into the headspace bottle. Cover it. Heat at 60°C for 10min and
shake violently. Mix well.
A.7.5.4 Preparation of sample solution
Weigh 0.2g of sample, to the nearest of 0.0001g. Place in a headspace bottle.
Add 5.0mL of water and 1.0mL of internal standard solution. Pipette 20µL of N-
copper methylpyrrolidine. Inject into the headspace bottle. Cover it. Heat at
60°C for 10min and shake violently. Mix well.
