Foodstuffs - Determination of vitamin B6 by HPLC

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Vitamin B6 is the mass fraction of the sum of pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine including their phosphorylated derivatives determined as pyridoxine. The β-glycosylated forms are not taken into account. These can be determined with the method given in EN 14663 by which the different vitamers of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine) are separated and individually quantified. A third European Standard (EN 14166 ) determines the total vitamin B6 by microbiological assay.

Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von Vitamin B6 mit HPLC

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Vitamin B6 in Lebensmitteln mit
Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie (HPLC) fest. Vitamin B6 ist der Massenanteil der Gesamtmenge an
Pyridoxin (PN), Pyridoxal (PL) und Pyridoxamin (PM), einschließlich ihrer phosphorylierten Derivate, die als
Pyridoxin bestimmt werden. Die β-glycosylierten Formen werden nicht berücksichtigt. Diese können mit dem
in EN 14663 [1] festgelegten Verfahren bestimmt werden, bei dem die verschiedenen Vitamere von Vitamin
B6 (Pyridoxin, Pyridoxal und Pyridoxamin) getrennt und individuell bestimmt werden. Eine dritte Europäische
Norm (EN 14166)1) [2] bestimmt den Gesamtgehalt an Vitamin B6 mikrobiologisch.

Produits alimentaires - Dosage de la vitamine B6 par CLHP

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de dosage de la vitamine B6 présente dans les produits
alimentaires par chromatographie liquide à haute performance (CLHP). La vitamine B6 est la fraction
massique de la somme de pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine y compris leurs dérivés phosphorylés identifiés
comme étant de la pyridoxine. Les dérivés ß-glycosilés ne sont pas pris en considération. Ils peuvent être
dosés selon la méthode indiquée dans l’EN 14663 [1], qui permet de séparer et de quantifier les différents
dérivés de la vitamine B6 (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine et pyridoxine). Une troisième Norme européenne
(EN 141661) [2] traite du dosage de la vitamine B6 totale par essai microbiologique.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of vitamin B in foodstuffs by high
6
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Vitamin B is the mass fraction of the sum of pyridoxine,
6
pyridoxal, pyridoxamine including their phosphorylated derivatives determined as pyridoxine. The β-
glycosylated forms are not taken into account. These can be determined with the method given in EN 14663
[1] by which the different vitamers of vitamin B (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine) are separated and
6

individually quantified. A third European Standard (EN 14166 ) [2] determines the total vitamin B by
6
microbiological assay.
2 Normative references
The following referenced document is indispensable for the application of this document. 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, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987).
3 Principle
Pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine are extracted from food by acid hydrolysis and dephosphorylated
enzymatically using acid phosphatase.
2+
By reaction with glyoxylic acid in the presence of Fe as a catalyst, pyridoxamine is transformed into
pyridoxal, which is then reduced to pyridoxine by the action of sodium borohydride in alkaline medium.
Pyridoxine is then quantified in the sample solution by HPLC with a fluorometric detection [3], [4].
4 Reagents
4.1 General
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognised analytical grade and water of at
least grade 1 according to EN ISO 3696, or double distilled water.
4.2 Chemicals and solutions
2)
4.2.1 Acid phosphatase, (CAS 9001-77-8), from potatoes, enzyme activity is 33 nkat/mg with substrate
3)
p-nitrophenyl phosphate at pH = 4,8 and T = 37 °C, for example from Boehringer or Sigma . 33 nkat/mg
corresponds to 2 U/mg.
4.2.1.1 Acid phosphatase solution
Prepare a solution of 20 mg/ml acid phosphatase in sodium acetate solution (4.2.14).

Under elaboration.
2) Katal (symbol ''kat'') is a derived SI unit of enzyme activity. One katal is that catalytic activity which will raise the rate of
reaction by one mol/s in a specified assay system.
3) This information is given for the convenience of users of this standard method and does not constitute an
endorsement by CEN of the product named. Equivalent products may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same
results.

EN 14164:2008 (E)
It is necessary to use acid phosphatase rather than Taka-diastase to obtain a complete hydrolysis of
phosphorylated forms of vitamin B. Where 300 mg of Taka-diastase is needed to obtain good
6
dephosphorylation, only 0,5 mg of acid phosphatase is needed, see [5].
4.2.1.2 Activity check of acid phosphatase
Check the activity of each new batch of acid phosphatase as follows. Prepare a stock solution of
approximately 0,1 mg/ml of pyridoxal phosphate (4.2.9) in water. Take 5,0 ml of this solution for extraction and
procede with 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3, 6.2.4 and 7.
Calculate the pyridoxine recovery from this solution and divide by the theoretical amount of pyridoxine
released from pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). Calculate the theoretical mass concentration ρ of PN released

Mix 3,0 ml of the PLP stock solution and 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2.21) in a 20 ml volumetric flask and fill
up to the mark with water. Check the concentration of PLP by measuring the absorbance at 295 nm in a 1 cm
cell using a UV-spectrometer (5.2) against a hydrochloric acid solution (4.2.20) as reference. Molar absorption
coefficient (ε) of PLP in 0,1 mol/l HCl is 8 353.
