Foodstuffs - Determination of ethyl carbamate in stone fruit spirits, fruit marc spirits and other spirit drinks - GC-MS method

This European Standard specifies a gas chromatographic method using mass spectrometric detection for the determination of ethyl carbamate (EC) in stone fruit spirits, fruit marc spirits and other spirit drinks.
The method has been validated in an interlaboratory study for stone fruit spirits and fruit liqueurs, at levels ranging from 0,253 mg/l to 1,11 mg/l. However, linearity of the instrument response was proven for the concentration range 0,10 mg/l to 4,0 mg/l (simplified method) and 0,025 mg/l to 3,0 mg/l (procedure including sample clean-up), respectively.

Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von Ethylcarbamat in Steinobstbränden, Obstbränden und anderen alkoholischen Getränken - GC-MS-Verfahren

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Ethylcarbamat (EC) in Steinobstbränden, Obst¬bränden und anderen alkoholischen Getränken mit Gaschromatographie und Massenspektrometrie (GC-MS) fest.
Das Verfahren wurde in einem Ringversuch für Steinobstbrände und Obstliköre im Bereich von 0,253 mg/l bis 1,11 mg/l validiert. Die Linearität des Ansprechverhaltens des Gerätes wurde jedoch für den Konzentrations-bereich von 0,10 mg/l bis 4,0 mg/l (vereinfachtes Verfahren) und von 0,025 mg/l bis 3,0 mg/l (Verfahren mit Probenreinigung) nachgewiesen.

Produits alimentaires - Détermination de la teneur en carbamate d'éthyle dans les eaux-de-vie de fruits à noyaux, les eaux-de-vie de marc de fruits et les autres boissons alcoolisées - Méthode CG-SM

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la teneur en carbamate d’éthyle (CE) par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à une détection spectrométrique de masse dans les eaux-de-vie de fruits à noyaux, les eaux-de-vie de marc de fruits et les autres boissons spiritueuses.
La méthode a été validée lors d’un essai interlaboratoires sur les eaux-de-vie de fruits à noyaux et les liqueurs de fruits, à des niveaux compris entre 0,253 mg/l et 1,11 mg/l. Toutefois, la linéarité de la réponse de l’instrument a été prouvée pour la gamme de concentration de 0,10 mg/l à 4,0 mg/l (méthode simplifiée) et de 0,025 mg/l à 3,0 mg/l (mode opératoire comprenant la purification de l’échantillon), respectivement.

Živila - Ugotavljanje etil karbamata v žganju iz koščičastega sadja, sadnih tropin in drugih žganih pijačah - Metoda GC-MS

Ta evropski standard določa metodo plinske kromatografije z uporabo masne spektrometrične detekcije za ugotavljanje etil karbamata v žganju iz koščičastega sadja, sadnih tropin in drugih žganih pijačah.
Ta metoda je bila validirana v medlaboratorijski študiji o žganju iz koščičastega sadja in sadnih likerjih v obsegu 0,253–1,11 mg/l. Kljub temu je bil linearni odziv instrumenta dokazan za koncentracije 0,10–4,0 mg/l (poenostavljena metoda) in 0,025–3,0 mg/l (postopek, vključno s čiščenjem vzorcev).

EN 16852:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a gas chromatographic method using mass spectrometric detection for the determination of ethyl carbamate (EC) in stone fruit spirits, fruit marc spirits and other spirit drinks. The method has been validated in an interlaboratory study for stone fruit spirits and fruit liqueurs, at levels ranging from 0,253 mg/l to 1,11 mg/l. However, linearity of the instrument response was proven for the concentration ranges 0,10 mg/l to 4,0 mg/l (simplified method) and 0,025 mg/l to 3,0 mg/l (procedure including sample clean-up), respectively. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. 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 Stone fruit spirits with a content of total dry extract of less than 10 g/l are injected directly into the gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system after the adjustment of the alcoholic strength of the beverage when indicated and addition of internal standard (ISTD). Sugared brandies, liqueurs and other spirit drinks with a higher total dry extract are first transferred onto a solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge and the ethyl carbamate is eluted with a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate. Stone fruit spirits can contain precursors of ethyl carbamate which get transformed into EC under the influence of sunlight, e.g. during the shelf life of a spirit. To obtain the actual content of EC in the sample, light-protected glass ware (e.g. brown glass) shall be used during the analysis. 4 Reagents 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 (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis.

Add 33 ml of ethanol (4.1) and dilute to the mark with water. 4.19 Ethyl carbamate standard solutions for simplified method, dry extract < 10 g/l The injection of samples with a dry extract exceeding 10 g/l can lead to a rapid loss of sensitivity of the GC-MS system, depending on the type of liner and GC column used. For samples with higher dry extract content a sample clean up is recommended (see 6.2). Prepare the ethyl carbamate standard solutions for the simplified method according to Table 1. In principle it is possible to prepare the ethyl carbamate standard solutions to an alcoholic strength with a volume fraction of 40 % or 70 % depending on the GC system. For example, for an ethyl carbamate standard solution with a volume fraction of 70 %, pipet the amount of ethyl carbamate working solution (4.13 or 4.14) stated in Table 1 into a 10 ml volumetric flask and add the corresponding amount of ethanol (4.1). Fill the volumetric flask to the mark with an ethanol solution with a volume fraction of 65 % (4.2.1). For an ethyl carbamate standard solution with a volume fraction of 40 %, use an ethanol solution with a volume fraction of 35 % (4.2.2) to fill up the volumetric flasks.

It is very important that the volumes of standard solutions and sample solutions (before an optional adjustment of the alcoholic strength, see 6.1) are equal. Usually, 10 ml are used. Mix the solution thoroughly and transfer an aliquot into a GC vial and seal the vial with a septum cap. 4.20 Ethyl carbamate standard solutions for method using sample clean up Pipet the amount of ethyl carbamate working solution as given in Table 2 into a GC vial and add the corresponding amount of ethanol (4.1) and 100 µl of d5-ethyl carbamate workin
