Foodstuffs - Determination of zearalenone in maize based baby food, barley flour, maize flour, polenta, wheat flour and cereal based foods for infants and young children - HPLC method with immunoaffinity column cleanup and fluorescence detection

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of zearalenone in maize based baby food, barley flour, maize flour, polenta, wheat flour and cereal based foods for infants and young children by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with immunoaffinity cleanup and fluorescence detection. This method has been validated in two interlaboratory studies. The first study was for the analysis of samples of maize based baby food, barley flour, maize flour, polenta and wheat flour ranging from 10 µg/kg to 335 µg/kg, and the second study was for samples of cereal based foods for infants and young children ranging from 9 µg/kg to 44 µg/kg. Further information on validation, see Clause 9 and Annex B.

This method has been validated in two interlaboratory studies. The first study was for the analysis of samples of maize based baby food, barley flour, maize flour, polenta and wheat flour ranging from 10 µg/kg to 335 µg/kg, and the second study was for samples of cereal based foods for infants and young children ranging from 9 µg/kg to 44 µg/kg.

Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987). 3 Principle A test portion is extracted with aqueous acetonitrile or methanol according to the products analyzed. The extract is then diluted with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to give an aqueous extract that is applied to an immunoaffinity column containing antibodies specific for zearalenone. Zearalenone is purified and concentrated on the column and removed from the antibodies using acetonitrile or methanol as eluent. Zearalenone is quantified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with fluorescence detection. 4 Reagents 4.1 General Use only reagents of recognised analytical grade and water complying with grade 1 of EN ISO 3696:1995, unless otherwise specified.
