Foodstuffs - Determination of acrylamide in food and coffee by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of acrylamide in cereal-based products, potato-based products and coffee by gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
The method has been single-laboratory validated via the analysis of spiked samples (French fries (uncooked), bread, water biscuit, infant cereal, biscuit, green coffee, roast coffee and instant coffee), ranging from 30 μg/kg to 1 500 μg/kg acrylamide.
The results from the single laboratory validation were obtained by a laboratory with significant experience in acrylamide analysis. In addition, this method has also been studied by inter laboratory trial via the analysis of samples containing incurred acrylamide, ranging from approximately 200 μg/kg to 2 000 μg/kg. Critical points of the method are identified in 7.5 and Clause 8.

Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von Acrylamid in Lebensmitteln und Kaffee mit Gaschromatographie-Massenspektrometrie (GC-MS)

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Acrylamid in Getreideerzeugnissen, Kartoffelerzeugnissen und Kaffee durch Gaschromatographie gekoppelt mit Massen¬spektrometrie (GC MS) fest.
Dieses Verfahren wurde in einer Einzellaborvalidierung durch die Analyse von aufgestockten Proben (Pommes frites (ungegart), Brot, Kräcker, Getreidebeikost, Kekse, Rohkaffee, Röstkaffee und löslicher Kaffee) im Bereich von 30 μg/kg bis 1 500 μg/kg Acrylamid untersucht.
Die Ergebnisse der Einzellaborvalidierung wurden von einem Labor mit umfangreicher Erfahrung in der Acrylamid Analytik erzielt. Außerdem wurde dieses Verfahren auch in einem Ringversuch durch Untersuchung von Proben mit einem Anteil an entstandenem Acrylamid von etwa 200 μg/kg bis 2 000 μg/kg untersucht. Kritische Punkte des Verfahrens werden in 7.5 und Abschnitt 8 benannt.

(uncooked), bread, water biscuit, infant cereal, biscuit, green coffee, roast coffee and instant coffee),
ranging from 30 μg/kg to 1 500 μg/kg acrylamide.
The results from the single laboratory validation were obtained by a laboratory with significant
experience in acrylamide analysis. In addition, this method has also been studied by inter laboratory
trial via the analysis of samples containing incurred acrylamide, ranging from approximately 200 μg/kg

2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987)
3 Principle
The test portion is extracted with hot water and isotopically labelled acrylamide is added as internal
standard. High-fat samples are defatted with hexane, cleared with Carrez solution and centrifuged.
Sample extracts are brominated and extracted with ethyl acetate. Following removal of the ethyl acetate
by evaporation, triethylamine is added to partially debrominate, after which a portion of the sample
extract is injected onto a GC-MS system for quantification. The chromatographic separation is obtained
on a mid-polarity capillary GC column. The acrylamide derivative is ionized at 70 eV and recorded in
selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, and quantified by comparison with the stable isotopically labelled
analogue.
4 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 1 of
EN ISO 3696:1995 (electrical conductivity below 0,1 µS/cm at 25 °C), unless specified otherwise.
Standard solutions are preferably prepared gravimetrically. An analytical balance (6.1) is used for the
preparation of both native and stable isotope labelled acrylamide.
WARNING — Acrylamide has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
as probably carcinogenic to humans (see [2]). Bromine is very toxic and corrosive and hydrobromic
acid is corrosive and hazardous. The prepared brominating solution (see 4.17) shall be considered as
very toxic and corrosive.
Protective equipment such as laboratory coat, disposable gloves and safety glasses shall be used. All
handlings of acrylamide, bromine, hydrobromic acid, brominating solution and organic solvents shall be
performed in a fume cupboard with adequate air flow.
IMPORTANT — Dispose chemical waste according to applicable environmental rules and regulations.
Bromine is very toxic to aquatic organisms hence discharge into the environment shall be avoided.
Waste shall be disposed of appropriately.

Wear gloves and carry out the following steps in a fume cupboard. Prepare fresh reagent every three

For preparation of bromine water (saturated), place a 1 l glass bottle containing ca. 400 ml of water in a
crushed ice bath and stir with a magnetic stirrer for ca. 10 min. Using a measuring cylinder, add
15 ml ± 1 ml of bromine (4.3), stopper the flask and continue stirring for at least 60 min. Cap securely
and store at 4 °C to 6 °C.
Weigh 400 g ± 2 g of potassium bromide (4.10) into a 2 l screw-capped glass bottle and add
1 000 ml ± 5 ml of water. Shake or stir to dissolve then add 20 ml ± 1 ml of hydrobromic acid (4.7) using
a measuring cylinder.

Inc, Andover MA, USA. CLM-813-1.2 or similar. This information is given for the convenience of users of this Technical
Specification and does not constitute an endorsement of these products by CEN. Equivalent products may be used if they

5 Standard solution preparation
5.1 General
Prepare all standard solutions preferably gravimetrically. The tare masses of all recipients and the
masses after each preparation step are recorded and used for calculation of the standard
concentrations. Volumetric standard preparation may also be applied provided that the volumetric
glassware used complies with EN ISO 1042 (see [1]).

Weigh 0,1 g ± 0,001 g of acrylamide into a 100 ml volumetric flask. Add 30 ml of water, swirl to dissolve
and dilute to the mark with water and mix well. The stock solution is stable for 1 month when stored in
a refrigerator (4 °C to 6 °C) and protected from light.
Alternatively, commercially-available certified standard solutions may be used if available.
