    This method describes how to determine the ash content of flour through direct ashing. The key steps are: (1) weighing 3-5g of flour into a pre-weighed ashing dish, (2) igniting the sample in a furnace at 550°C until it reaches a light gray ash or constant weight, and (3) allowing the sample to cool in a desiccator before weighing to obtain the ash content. Calcium oxide is used as a drying agent in the desiccator.

    Direct Method
    First Action 1923
    Final Action
    Weigh 3–5 g well-mixed test portion into shal low, relatively
    broad ashing dish that has been ignited, cooled in desiccator, and
    weighed soon after reaching room temperature. Ignite in furnace
    at ca 550°C (dull red) until light gray ash results, or to constant
    weight. Cool in desiccator and weigh soon after reaching room
    temperature. Reignited CaO is satisfactory dry ing agent for
    desiccator.
