Food analysis - Determination of furan in coffee and coffee products by headspace gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (HS GC-MS)
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of furan in coffee and coffee products with headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS), see [1] and [2]. Coffee products in the scope of this method are extracts which have been spray-dried, agglomerated or freeze-dried. The method has been validated in an interlaboratory study via the analysis of naturally contaminated samples of spray-dried coffee, freeze-dried coffee and ground roasted coffee ranging from 264 µg/kg to 2 840 µg/kg.

Immediately prior to analysis the original packages should be opened and weighed with minimal delay to avoid losses of furan. Powdered samples should be weighed without further treatment. Coffee beans should be milled under conditions that do not raise the temperature and weighed. Although not tested in the interlaboratory study, the use of cooled milling equipment is recommended for milling in order to avoid losses of furan. Milling tests minimizing losses of furan should be performed ahead of the sample preparation. 6.2 Estimation of furan content The furan content in a sample is quantified by means of standard addition. The amount of furan and/or d4-furan which is added to the test portions is based on a rough estimation (x0) in relation to the initial sample weight. This rough estimation (x0) is done as follows: to 0,5 g to 5 g of the sample (normally 1 g) water is added (normally 5 ml), an amount of d4-furan (internal standard) in ng is added (approximately corresponding to the expected amount of furan in the sample) and is analysed with HS-GC-MS as described in 6.4. Using the peak area ratio furan/d4-furan (m/z = 68/72, see 7.2) and the amount of added internal standard in ng the furan content in relation to the initial weight of the sample solution can be estimated (equivalent to a simple isotope dilution analysis). In order to avoid the forming of furan from precursors, the pH value is adjusted to ca. pH = 10. For this 5 drops to 6 drops of potassium hydroxide solution (4.4) are added into the headspace vial.
