Foodstuffs - Determination of vitamin B6 by microbiological assay

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of total vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by microbiological assay (MBA). Vitamin B6 is determined as the mass fraction of pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, including their phosphorylated or glycosylated derivatives. It is usually expressed as milligram vitamin B6 per 100 g of foodstuff. The method is applicable to samples that can be rendered homogeneous and do not contain high concentrations of antibiotics or other interfering substances.
This method has been validated in an inter-laboratory test on fortified and non-fortified samples such as wholemeal flour, milk powder, mixed vegetables and pigs liver at levels from 0,5 mg/100 g to 1,9 mg/100 g. For further information on the validation data, see Annex B.

Lebensmittel - Mikrobiologische Bestimmung von Vitamin B6

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein mikrobiologisches Verfahren (microbiological assay – MBA) zur Bestimmung des Gesamtgehaltes an Vitamin B6 in Lebensmitteln fest. Vitamin B6 wird als Massenanteil von Pyridoxin, Pyridoxal und Pyridoxamin einschließlich deren phosphorylierter oder glykosylierter Derivate bestimmt. Dieser wird üblicherweise als Milligramm Vitamin B6 je 100 g Lebensmittel angegeben. Das Verfahren ist auf Proben anwendbar, die homogenisiert werden können und keine hohen Konzentrationen an Antibiotika oder anderen störenden Substanzen enthalten.
Dieses Verfahren wurde in einem Ringversuch an angereicherten und nicht angereicherten Proben validiert, wie Vollkornmehr, Milchpulver, Mischgemüse und Schweineleber, jeweils bei Gehalten von 0,5 mg/100 g bis 1,9 mg/100 g. Weitere Information zu Validierungsdaten, siehe Anhang B.

Produits alimentaires - Détermination de la vitamine B6 par essai microbiologique

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de dosage de la vitamine B6 totale présente dans les
produits alimentaires par essai microbiologique. La vitamine B6 est dosée comme étant la fraction massique
de la pyridoxine, du pyridoxal et de la pyridoxamine, y compris leurs dérivés phosphorylés ou glycosylés. Elle
est généralement exprimée en milligrammes de vitamine B6 par 100 g de produits alimentaires. La méthode
est applicable aux échantillons qui peuvent être homogénéisés et qui ne contiennent pas d'antibiotiques ou
autres substances interférentes en concentrations importantes.
La méthode a été validée par un essai interlaboratoire sur des échantillons enrichis et non enrichis tels que
farine complète, lait en poudre, assortiment de légumes et foies de porc, à des concentrations allant de
0,5 mg/100 g à 1,9 mg/100 g. Pour de plus amples informations sur les données de validation, voir
l'Annexe B.

EN 14166:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of total vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by microbiological assay (MBA). Vitamin B6 is determined as the mass fraction of pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, including their phosphorylated or glycosylated derivatives. It is usually expressed as milligram vitamin B6 per 100 g of foodstuff. The method is applicable to samples that can be rendered homogeneous and do not contain high concentrations of antibiotics or other interfering substances. This method has been validated in an inter-laboratory test on fortified and non-fortified samples such as wholemeal flour, milk powder, mixed vegetables and pigs liver at levels from 0,5 mg/100 g to 1,9 mg/100 g. For further information on the validation data, see Annex B. 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 Pyridoxine, pyridoxal and/or pyridoxamine are extracted from foodstuffs by acid hydrolysis. The hydrolysis step liberates the vitamin B6 vitamers from proteins and carbohydrates in the sample and hydrolyses the phosphates to the free vitamers. The total vitamin B6 content in the sample extract is then determined by comparing the growth response of the assay test organism against growth obtained from a pyridoxine hydrochloride standard, see [1]. 4 Reagents 4.1 General During analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognised analytical grade and water of at least grade 1 according to EN ISO 3696:1995. The water used for reagent preparation shall be glass distilled. Once distilled, water shall be used within five days or discarded. 4.2 Chemicals and solutions 4.2.1 Sulfuric acid solution, substance concentration c(H2SO4 ) = 0,22 mol/l 4.2.2 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 4 mol/l 4.2.3 Wort agar, (Difco1)
or suitable alternative) Dissolve the agar in glass distilled water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Heat to boil. Dispense 5 ml aliquots into glass bottles, cap and autoclave at 121 °C for 15 min. Cool at an angle for slopes to form. Store in a refrigerator for up to three months.

EN 14166:2009 (E) 5 4.2.4 Basal medium (Difco Pyridoxine Y Medium1) or suitable alternative) The concentration of the assay medium should be chosen, depending upon the assay format used, to ensure that the manufacturer’s recommended concentration is obtained in the final assay volume. 4.2.5 Liquid culture medium Dilute basal medium (4.2.4) with an equal volume of water containing 2,0 ng/ml pyridoxine, pyridoxamine and pyridoxal. Add 10 ml portions to screw-topped tubes and autoclave at 121 °C for 5 min and cool rapidly. Store in refrigerator for up to one month. 4.2.6 Inoculum rinse Dilute basal medium (4.2.4) with an equal volume of water. Add 10 ml portions to screw-topped tubes and autoclave at 121 °C for 5 min and cool rapidly. Store in refrigerator for up to one month. 4.2.7 Sodium chloride, mass fraction w(NaCl) ≥ 98,0 % 4.2.8 Sterile saline solution Dissolve 0,9 g of sodium chloride (4.2.7) in 100 ml of glass distilled water. Autoclave at 121 °C for 15 min. 4.2.9 Hydrochloric acid, c(HCl) = 0,1 mol/l 4.2.10 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,1 mol/l 4.3 Test organism, Saccharomyces uvarum ATCC 9080 (freeze-dried yeast) 4.3.1 Test organism maintenance (stock culture) The test organism is maintained by weekly transfers onto agar maintenance medium (4.2.3) using the following procedure: Prepare 50 ml portions of pyridoxine basal medium (4.2.4) and place in a 100 ml thick-walled glass bottle or suitable flask. Add 2 ml of pyridoxine calibration solution 20 (4.8.1), cap and autoclave at 121 °C for 5 min. Cool as rapidly as possible in cold water to below 30 °C. Aseptically, add 1 ml of autoclaved medium to the freeze dried culture (4.3) and add 0,5 ml of the resultant suspension to the remaining medium using a sterile pipette. Incubate at 30 °C for 16 h. After incubation, the organism should show thick growth. Transfer the medium to suitable sterile, centrifuge tubes and centrifuge at 2000 g for 5 min. Discard the supernatant and wash the cell residue with two 50 ml portions of sterile saline (4.2.8), centrifuging between washes. Re-suspend the cells in 50 ml of sterile saline solution. Using a sterile loop, transfer cells from this suspension onto three agar slopes (4.2.3) in a cross pattern and incubate for 16 h to 20 h at 30 °C. After incubation, the cross should show visible growth and there should be no growth in the surrounding areas. Store the organism in a refrigerator. The organism should be transferred to fresh agar slopes on a weekly basis. It is essential to maintain aseptic conditions during preparation and transfer of solutions. 4.3.2 Working inoculum On the day before required, transfer cells from the stock culture (4.3.1) into two tubes of the liquid culture medium (4.2.5) keeping the transfers as sterile as possible. Incubate for 16 h to 20 h at 30 °C. Under aseptic conditions, centrifuge culture at 2000 g for 2 min and decant supernatant. Cells can be washed with 2 x 10 ml inoculum rinse (4.2.6) discarding the supernatant each time. Re-suspend cells in a third 10 ml portion of inoculum rinse. This is used for the assay inoculum.
