Foodstuffs - Determination of ochratoxin A in cereal based foods for infants and young children - HPLC method with immunoaffinity column cleanup and fluorescence detection
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of ochratoxin A in cereal based foods for infants and young children by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with immunoaffinity column cleanup and fluorescence detection. This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study via the analysis of both naturally contaminated and spiked samples ranging from 0,050 μg/kg to 0,217 μg/kg. For further information on the validation see Clause 8 and Annex B. Additional studies have shown that this method is applicable to cereal based baby foods containing 8 different types of cereals, honey and cocoa, at levels up to 3,540 μg/kg, see Annex C.
Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von Ochratoxin A in Säuglings- und Kleinkindernahrung auf Getreidebasis - HPLC-Verfahren mit Reinigung an einer Immunoaffinitätssäule und Fluoreszenzdetektion
Dieser europäische Normentwurf legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Ochratoxin A in Säuglings- und Kleinkindernahrung auf Getreidebasis durch Hochleistungsflüssigkeitschromatographie (HPLC) mit Reinigung an einer Immunoaffinitätssäule fest. Dieses Verfahren wurde in einem Ringversuch durch Analyse sowohl von natürlich kontaminierten als auch von aufgestockten Proben von Säuglingsnahrung auf Weizenbasis mit Ge¬halten von 0,023 µg/kg bis 0,225 µg/kg validiert. Es wurde nachgewiesen, dass das Verfahren auf Beikost, die 8 verschiedene Getreidearten, Honig und Kakao enthält, bis zu Gehalten von 3,480 µg/kg an¬wendbar ist.Die Bestimmungsgrenze des Verfahrens liegt bei 0,007 µg/kg (aus laborinternen Versuchen abgeleitete Daten).
Produits alimentaires - Dosage de l'ochratoxine A dans les aliments à base de céréales pour nourrissons et jeunes enfants - Méthode CLHP avec purification sur colonne d'immuno-affinité et détection par fluorescence
Le présent projet de Norme Européenne spécifie une méthode pour déterminer la teneur en ochratoxine A dans les aliments à base de céréales pour nourrissons et jeunes enfants, par chromatographie liquide à haute performance (CLHP) avec purification sur colonne d’immuno-affinité. Cette méthode a été validée lors d’une étude interlaboratoires via l’analyse d’échantillons naturellement contaminés et d’échantillons dopés d’aliments à base de blé pour nourrissons, à des concentrations allant de 0,023 µg/kg à 0,225 µg/kg. Cette méthode s’est révélée applicable aux aliments à base de céréales pour nourrissons contenant 8 différents types de céréales, du miel et du cacao, à des concentrations inférieures ou égales à 3,480 µg/kg. Il a été démontré que la limite de quantification de la méthode se situe à 0,007 µg/kg (information obtenue à partir des études intralaboratoires).

For further information on the validation see Clause 8 and Annex B. Additional studies have shown that this method is applicable to cereal based baby foods containing 8 different types of cereals, honey and cocoa, at levels up to 3,540 µg/kg, see Annex C and [6].

2 Normative references The following referenced documents are 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 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use
Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Principle A test portion is extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether after addition of 0,5 mol/l phosphoric acid / 2 mol/l sodium chloride solution. The extract is evaporated and redissolved in methanol and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution. After removal of lypophilic compounds with hexane, the extract is applied to an immunoaffinity column containing antibodies specific to ochratoxin A. The toxin is eluted from the column with methanol. Ochratoxin A is determined by HPLC with enhanced fluorescence detection involving post column reaction with ammonia. NOTE Some investigations indicate that HPLC can be also performed without the use of ammonia although this results in at least a two-fold decrease of the response for ochratoxin A. In this case, the fluorescence detection conditions need to be changed (excitation wavelength = 333 nm, emission wavelength = 460 nm). 4 Reagents 4.1 General Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 1 of EN ISO 3696:1995, unless otherwise specified. Solvents shall be of quality for HPLC analysis. Commercially available solutions with equivalent properties to those listed may be used.

The column shall have a capacity of not less than 100 ng of ochratoxin A and shall give a recovery of not less than 85 % when applied as a standard solution of ochratoxin A in a mixture of 15 parts per volume of methanol (4.19) and 85 parts per volume of PBS solution (4.14) containing 3 ng of ochratoxin A. 4.27 Ochratoxin A, in crystal form or as a film in ampoules WARNING — Ochratoxin A is a potent nephrotoxin with immunotoxic, teratogenic and potential genotoxic properties. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ochratoxin A as a possible human carcinogen (group 2B). Protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses should be worn at all times, and all standard and sample preparation stages should be carried out in a fume cupboard. 4.28 Ochratoxin A stock solution Prepare a stock solution of ochratoxin A in the mixture of toluene and glacial acetic acid (4.23) with a nominal concentration of 10 µg/ml. To determine the exact concentration, record the absorption curve between a wavelength of 300 nm and 370 nm in 5 nm steps in 1 cm quartz cells (5.22) in a spectrometer with the solvent mixture (4.23) as reference. Identify the wavelength for maximum absorption and calculate the mass concentration of ochratoxin A, ota, in micrograms per millilitre, using Equation (1): bMA×××=ερ100maxota (1) SIST EN 15835:2010

Store this solution in a freezer at approximately - 18 °C. Allow to reach room temperature before opening. A solution stored in this way is usually stable for 12 months. Confirm the concentration of the solution if it is older than six months. 4.29 Ochratoxin A standard solution Pipette a volume of ochratoxin A stock solution (4.28) containing exactly 400 ng ochratoxin A into a 10 ml calibrated volumetric flask (5.13) and dilute to 10 ml with the mixture of toluene and glacial acetic acid (4.23) and shake. This gives a standard solution containing 40,0 ng/ml of ochratoxin A.
Store this solution in a freezer at approximately - 18 °C. Allow to reach room temperature before opening. A solution stored in this way is usually stable for 12 months. Confirm the concentration of the solution if it is older than six months. 4.30 Ochratoxin A spiking solution Pipette a volume of ochratoxin A stock solution (4.28) containing exactly 2 500 ng ochratoxin A into a 50 ml calibrated volumetric flask (5.13) and dilute to 50 ml with the mixture of toluene and glacial acetic acid (4.23) and shake.
