Foodstuffs - Detection of irradiated food containing fat - Gas chromatographic analysis of hydrocarbons

This European Standard specifies a method for the identification of irradiation treatment of food which contains fat. It is based on the gas chromatographic detection of radiation-induced hydrocarbons (HC). The method has been tested in interlaboratory tests on raw chicken, pork and beef (1) to (4) as well as on camembert, avocado, papays and mango 5, 6.

Lebensmittel - Nachweis von bestrahlten fetthaltigen Lebensmitteln - Gaschromatographische Untersuchung auf Kohlenwasserstoffe

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren für die Identifizierung einer Strahlenbehandlung von fetthaltigen Lebensmitteln fest. Das Verfahren basiert auf dem gaschromatographischen (GC) Nachweis strahleninduzierter Kohlenwasserstoffe (KW). Es wurde in Ringversuchen erfolgreich an rohem Hähnchen-, Schweine- und Rindfleisch geprüft [1] bis [4] wie auch an Camembert, Avocado, Papaya und Mango [5], [6].
Andere Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass das Verfahren für viele andere Lebensmittel anwendbar ist [7] bis [28].

Produits alimentaires - Détection d'aliments ionisés contenant des lipides - Analyse par chromatographie en phase gazeuse des hydrocarbures

La présente Norme Européenne indique une méthode pour l'identification du traitement ionisant des aliments contenant des lipides. Elle repose sur la détection par chromatographie en phase gazeuse (CPG) des hydrocarbures volatils (HC) radio-induits. La méthode a été soumise avec succès à des essais interlaboratoires sur de la viande de poulet, de porc et de b�uf crues, [1] à [4], ainsi que sur le camembert, l'avocat, la papaye et la mangue, [5], [6].
D'autres études montrent que la présente méthode s'applique à une large gamme de produits alimentaires, [7] à [28].

or in fat-free metal foil. Foils having a wax coating or packing materials made ofpolyethylene should not be used.7 Procedure7.1 Reagent blankPrepare a reagent blank for every analysis series.The impurities which are encountered are mainly saturated HC, which have been detected in particular in Florisil®,solvent, filter paper and extraction thimbles (for Soxhlet extraction). To remove impurities, wash filter paper andextraction thimbles of cellulose with solvent until no impurities can be detected. Solvent blank solutions should beconcentrated before analysing them for contamination. Plastics materials should not be used for the analyses. Onlythoroughly clean glassware should be used.SIST EN 1784:2003
