5、d in Switzerland ii Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a s
6、ubject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
7、(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International S

18、f this International Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1whole quills: Scraped epiderm of the internal bark of cassia shoots that have reached maturity, rolled into a single or double quill. The quills are washed and dried. 3.2scraped bark: Bark obtained from the young shoots of cultivated
19、 shrubs, and which is scraped with a curved knife before being removed from the wood. 3.3unscraped bark: Bark obtained from the young shoots of cultivated shrubs, but unscraped. 3.4pieces: Product resulting from the trimming, sorting, handling and packing of quills, and which may be of various sizes
20、, scraped or unscraped. 3.5ground cassia: Powder obtained by grinding cassia of the types considered in this International Standard, excluding all additives. 4Types and classification 4.1Types 4.1.1 Chinese type cassia (cassia lignea) This is the bark of branches of Cinnamomum cassia (Nees) ex Blume
21、 of the Lauraceae family. It consists of bark in tubular form, or in simple single quills or in compound double quills. 4.1.2 Indonesian type cassia, Java cassia, Korintje cassia, cassia vera This is the bark of trunks of Cinnamomum burmanii (C.G. Nees) of the Lauraceae family. It consists of thin o
22、r thick scraped single and double quills of reddish-brown colour. 4.1.3 Vietnamese type cassia This is the bark, principally of the smaller branches of Cinnamomum loureirii Nees of the Lauraceae family. It consists of single or double quills. 4.2Commercial grades 4.2.1 Chinese type cassia Chinese ty
23、pe cassia occurs in pieces of varying lengths from about 250 mm to 380 mm, and of diameter about 20 mm. It may be scraped or unscraped and the thickness is usually about 3 mm, but may be up to 6 mm. It has a sweet and aromatic flavour, sometimes rather astringent. Chinese type cassia is classified i
24、n three grades (see table 1).

25、E) 3 Table 1 Classification of Chinese type cassia Commercial designation of the grade Physical characteristics of the bark 1 Kwantung cassia (also known as China rolls or Canton rolls) The rolls may be scraped or unscraped. The external colour of the unscraped bark is brownish-grey with grey patche
26、s; the surface is rough, irregular and coarse in appearance. The flavour is somewhat deficient. The scraped bark is light reddish-brown with occasional patches of grey and is smooth or nearly smooth. 2 Kwangsi cassiaThe rolls, either whole or broken, may be scraped or unscraped; it is not as rough a
27、nd coarse as Kwantung cassia, and has a stronger and better flavour. 3 Broken pieces (of grades 1 and 2) Small pieces, which may be scraped or unscraped, resulting from the trimming, sorting, handling and packing of the rolls. 4.2.2 Indonesian type cassia Indonesian type cassia occurs in roughly cyl
28、indrical double and single quills, about 1 m long, made from strips of bark 50 mm to 100 mm wide ; the thickness of the bark varies from 1 mm to 5 mm. Indonesian type cassia is classified in four grades (see table 2). Table 2 Classification of Indonesian type cassia Commercial designation of the gra

31、n pieces Small pieces, which may be scraped or unscraped, resulting from the trimming, sorting, handling and packing of the rolls. 4.2.3 Vietnamese type cassia Vietnamese type cassia occurs as greyish-brown bark in single or double quills, varying in length from about 150 mm to 300 mm, about 10 mm t
32、o 38 mm in diameter, and up to 6 mm thick. Vietnamese type cassia is classified in four grades (see table 3).

The thin bark is slightly rough, dark brown in
34、colour, and shows longitudinal wavy ridges, scars and numerous wart-like protuberances. 2 Medium1,5 mm to 3,0 mm in thickness. 3 Thick3,0 mm to about 6,0 mm in thickness. The thick bark is lighter and greyer in colour, very rough and with no wavy ridges. 4 Broken piecesSmall pieces resulting from th
35、e trimming, sorting, handling and packing of the rolls. 5Ground cassia Ground cassia consists of the types of cassia described in 4.1, in the ground form, excluding all additives. NOTE If there is a designation of origin, the ground cassia should be prepared exclusively from the barks concerned. 6Re
36、quirements 6.1Odour and flavour The odour and flavour shall be fresh and characteristic of cassia of the origin concerned. It shall be free from foreign flavours, including mustiness. 6.2Colour Ground cassia shall be yellowish to reddish-brown in colour. The colour of whole cassia shall be as descri

38、 may be necessary in any particular case. If the magnification exceeds 10, this fact shall be stated in the test report. In case of dispute, contamination in ground cassia shall be determined by the method described in ISO 1208. Copyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IH
