According to the COA which specifies pH measurement in a 10% water solution of SugarThick™, what is the detailed method for preparing this solution, including how to dissolve it, the heating temperature required, and the temperature at which the pH measurement should be taken?
Answer
How to Prepare 10% SugarThick™ Solution for pH Measurement
To prepare a 10% water solution of SugarThick™ for pH measurement as indicated in the COA, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Weigh 10 grams of SugarThick™.
- Dissolving: Add the 10 grams of SugarThick™ to 90 grams of water (preferably distilled or deionized water for accuracy). Heat the water to a temperature between 50-60°C to help dissolve the SugarThick™, as it melts and becomes liquid in this range. Stir slowly until completely dissolved.
- Cooling: Allow the solution to cool down to room temperature (around 25°C).
- pH Measurement: Once the solution has cooled to room temperature, measure the pH using a calibrated pH meter.
Avoid overheating the solution, as this can affect the quality of the SugarThick™.
