Dairy product
COMPOSITION
Dairy product composed of concentrated, fermented

skimmed milk (80 %), fruit preparation (strawberry) (10 %),
sugar (7.6 %), modified starch, strawberry seeds, black
carrot juice concentrate, natural flavouring, thickener,
mineral concentrate from milk, lemon juice concentrate and
acid regulators. It also contains the two cultures
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.
The protein content in the dairy part is 9.5 % (8.4 % in the
product in total).
4
Dairy product
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Skimmed milk is pasteurised, then fermented at 40 °C by

adding Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermophilus. Next step is cooling, then the fermented
product is given a rapid heating (thermo shock) and
cooled again. After this process the product is separated in
a separator. During the separation process, the whey is
removed from the product. Finally, the product has
undergone a smoothing process before it is cooled again
and then stored and packaged.

QUESTIONS

Quinoa which has undergone the removal of the
saponin layer
DESCRIPTION
Quinoa, normally used for human consumption, which has

undergone the removal of the saponin layer after harvest.
The saponin layer is removed by washing, mechanical
processing or by a combination of both. However, the shape
of quinoa which has undergone washing or mechanical
processing is not different from that of the original grain.
Accordingly, the method used to remove the saponin layer is
not discernible solely by the shape of the quinoa grain.

• Amendment of Note 1 (B) to Chapter 10

“(B) The Chapter does not cover grains which have been
hulled or otherwise worked. However, rice, husked, milled,
polished, glazed, parboiled or broken remains classified in
heading 10.06. Similarly, quinoa from which the pericarp has
been wholly or partly removed in order to separate the
saponin, but which has not undergone any other processes,
remains classified in heading 10.08.”

diglycerides and monoglycerides. The profile of the main
fatty acids of the product consists of polyunsaturated fatty
acids, such as 40 to 45 % arachidonic acid and 0 to 15 %
linoleic acid. This oil may be used as an ingredient in food,
animal feed, medicine or cosmetics.

and other diseases transmitted by mosquitos of the
Aedes genus
DESCRIPTION
Diagnostic kit for detecting the Zika virus consisting of an in vitro assay based
on the quantitative detection of Zika virus RNA through reverse transcription
followed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
The product should be used with RNA samples extracted from serum, plasma,
urine, cerebrospinal fluid and amniotic fluid. The RT-PCR method is used to
amplify the pathogen RNA. A thermocycler for RT-PCR is used to amplify and
detect the fluorescent probe. Software calculates the Zika Virus RNA
concentration, expressed in copies/μL, using the standard curve generated
from the quantitative standard, contained in the kit.
28

The product consists of the following components :
(i) PCR Solution : Primer, probe, TRIS-HCl;

(ii) Mix Taq : Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2;

Tobacco capsule
DESCRIPTION
The tobacco capsule, in a cylindrical form (length – 22.9 mm, diameter – 9.5
mm/8.4 mm), is filled with approximately 0.31 g of granulated tobacco, water,
flavour, potassium carbonate and formulation aid, and its exterior is composed
of the following elements :
– An outer capsule made of polypropylene.
– A mouthpiece filter made of cellulose acetate.
The total weight of the “tobacco capsule” is approximately 0.56 g.

The “tobacco capsule” is inserted into the end of the “cartridge”. The
“cartridge” contains a liquid consisting of propylene glycol, glycerol, and water.
After connecting the “cartridge” with the “battery”, the “tobacco capsule” is
put into the mouth for inhaling. By inhaling, the sensor in the “battery” reacts
and the inside of the “cartridge” is heated, which enables the liquid in the
“cartridge” to be vaporized. The vapour passes through the “tobacco capsule”
and absorbs flavours
