Overview

EN 1528-2:1996 is a European standard developed by CEN that defines analytical procedures for the extraction and determination of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fatty food products. Specifically, it covers the extraction of fats containing pesticide and PCB residues and the quantification of fat content in various fat-rich foodstuffs. This standard is essential for ensuring food safety, helping laboratories and food manufacturers accurately detect harmful chemical residues in fatty foods and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

Key Topics

• Extraction of Fat from Foodstuffs
  The standard outlines methods for extracting the fat portion from diverse fatty food matrices. Accurate extraction is critical to isolate pesticide and PCB residues that are often lipophilic and reside within the fat content of these foods.

• Determination of Pesticides and PCBs
  EN 1528-2 specifies procedures to identify and quantify pesticide residues and polychlorinated biphenyl compounds within the extracted fats. This ensures thorough monitoring of these hazardous substances in food.

• Fat Content Determination
  Beyond contaminant analysis, the standard also provides guidelines for measuring the fat content of food samples, which is foundational for assessing exposure levels and ensuring proper interpretation of residue data.

• Applicable Foodstuffs
  The methods apply to a variety of fat-containing foods such as dairy products, meats, oils, and processed foods that require stringent chemical residue monitoring.

Applications

• Food Safety Testing Laboratories
  Analytical laboratories use EN 1528-2 to perform reliable extraction and measurement of pesticide and PCB contamination in fatty foods, supporting routine safety and quality control testing.

• Regulatory Compliance
  Compliance with EN 1528-2 helps manufacturers meet European and international regulations on maximum residue limits (MRLs) of pesticides and PCBs in food products, reducing risk of non-compliance and recalls.

• Research and Risk Assessment
  Researchers benefit from the standardized extraction and analysis methods to assess environmental contamination, food chain transfer of pollutants, and associated human health risks.

• Quality Control in Food Production
  Food producers use the standard to monitor and control potential chemical contaminants during manufacturing and sourcing, ensuring safe end-products for consumers.
