Sampling is one of the most important factors influencing the analysis results. When the results of several analyses are used to develop and implement a monitoring system which must assure the product quality and food-safety, this becomes a primary element. As an analysis result can be used in the development of such system, the sampling should be as accurate as possible. The sampling methods are various and depend in principal by the sampled material, the material state of aggregation, physical and chemical properties and last but not least, by the presentation mode. At this moment, the sampling procedures applicable in the starch industry are presented in several standards and have a general description based on product categories (e.g.: ISO 24333:2009 Cereals and cereal products – Sampling). For the industry, however, these general guidelines are sometimes difficult to apply as such. This paper aims to review the sampling procedures applicable in the starch industry and to create specific sampling method guidelines developed for a starch factory in order to create an optimal monitoring system capable to assure the quality and food-safety for products and by-products.
