Foodstuffs - Determination of vitamin A by high performance liquid chromatography - Part 1: Measurement of all-trans-retinol and 13-cis-retinol

EN 12823-1 specifies a method for the determination of vitamin A in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study with samples of margarine and milk powder with all-E-retinol levels ranging from 653 μg/100 g to 729 μg/100 g and with 13-Z-retinol levels ranging from 30 μg/100 g to 39 μg/100 g. The determination of vitamin A content is carried out by the measurement of all-E-retinol, 13-Z-retinol and β-carotene. This part covers the measurement of all-E-retinol and 13-Z-retinol. The extract obtained after saponification in this method can be used for the determination of β-carotene, as described in EN 12823-2:2000, Foodstuffs - Determination of vitamin A by high performance liquid chromatography - Part 2: Measurements of β-carotene. In this case, the saponification temperature should preferably not exceed 80 °C in order to prevent isomerisation and oxidation of β-carotene.

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Vitamin A in Lebensmitteln mit Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie (HPLC) fest. Diese Bestimmung wurde in einem Ringversuch an Margarine und Milchpulver mit 635 μg/100 g bis 729 g/100 g all-(E)-Retinol, und mit 30 μg/100 g bis 39 μg/100 g 13-Z-Retinol validiert. Die Bestimmung des Vitamin A-Gehaltes erfolgt durch Bestimmung von all-E-Retinol, von 13-Z-Retinol sowie von -Carotin. Dieser Teil enthält die Bestimmung von all-E-Retinol und 13 Z-Retinol.
Der in diesem Verfahren nach der Verseifung gewonnene Extrakt kann für die Bestimmung des -Carotins verwendet werden, wie in EN 12823-2:2000 Lebensmittel — Bestimmung von Vitamin A mit Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie — Teil 2: Bestimmung von β-Carotin beschrieben. In diesem Fall sollte die Verseifungstemperatur 80 °C möglichst nicht überschreiten, um eine Isomerisierung und Oxidation von -Carotin zu vermeiden.

Produits alimentaires - Dosage de la vitamine A par chromatographie liquide haute performance - Partie 1: Dosage du tout-trans-rétinol et du 13-cis-rétinol

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de dosage de la vitamine A présente dans les produits
alimentaires par chromatographie liquide haute performance (CLHP). Cette méthode a été validée lors d’un
essai interlaboratoires portant sur échantillons de margarine et de lait en poudre avec des concentrations en
tout-E-rétinol comprises entre 653 μg/100 g et 729 μg/100 g et des concentrations en 13-Z-rétinol comprises
entre 30 μg/100 g et 39 μg/100 g. La détermination de la teneur en vitamine A s’effectue par dosage du
tout-E-rétinol, du 13-Z-rétinol et du β-carotène. La présente partie concerne le dosage du tout-E-rétinol et du
13-Z-rétinol.
L'extrait obtenu après saponification par le biais de cette méthode peut être utilisé pour le dosage du β-carotène,
comme décrit dans l’EN 12823-2:2000, Produits alimentaires – Dosage de la vitamine A par chromatographie
liquide à haute performance – Partie 2 : Dosage du β-carotène. Dans ce cas, il convient de préférence que la
température de saponification ne dépasse pas 80 °C pour éviter l’isomérisation et l’oxydation du β-carotène.

3 Principle Retinol is saponified by using methanolic or ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution and extracted by an appropriate solvent. The determination is carried out by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with either fluorometric (F) or ultraviolet (UV) detection. The substances are identified on the basis of the retention times and determined by the external standard procedure using peak areas or heights, see [1] to [4]. 4 Reagents During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water of at least grade 1 according to EN ISO 3696. 4.1 Methanol. 4.2 Ethanol absolute, volume fraction, m(C2H5OH) = 100 %. 4.3 Ethanol, m(C2H5OH) = 96 %. 4.4 Sodium sulfate, anhydrous. 4.5 KOH solution for saponification, in suitable mass concentrations, e.g. (KOH) = 50 g/100 ml or 60 g/100 ml, or alcoholic solutions, e.g. 28 g KOH in 100 ml of a mixture of 9 parts per volume of ethanol and 1 part per volume of water. 4.6 Antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (AA), sodium ascorbate, sodium sulfide (Na2S), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), pyrogallol or hydroquinone. 4.7 Solvents and extraction solvents, such as diethyl ether (peroxide-free), di-isopropylether, light petroleum (boiling range of 40 °C to 60 °C), n-hexane, butanol, iso-octane or appropriate mixtures thereof.

EN 12823-1:2014 (E) 5 4.8 HPLC phases Examples of appropriate mixtures (expressed as volume parts) include: — n-hexane + 2-propanol (98 + 2); — iso-octane + 2-propanol (98,5 + 1,5); — iso-octane+ iso-butanol (98 + 2); — n-hexane + n-butanol (98 + 2); and gradient with 2-propanol + n-heptane, (0,5 + 99,5) to (8,5 + 91,5) in 12 min. 4.9 Standard substances 4.9.1 General All-E-retinol (all-E vitamin A alcohol) and 13-Z-retinol can be obtained in several forms, and from different suppliers. It is therefore necessary to determine the concentration of the calibration solution spectrometrically (see 4.10.4). If vitamin A esters are used (e.g. retinyl palmitate or acetate), check the concentration after saponification (see 6.3.1). Vitamin A and its derivatives are sensitive to oxygen and light. Standard substances should be stored in the dark under nitrogen or argon at −20 °C. Particular attention should be given to the information on the vitamin A content of the standard substances supplied by different manufacturers. 4.9.2 All-E-retinol, vitamin A alcohol, M (C20H30O) = 286,5 g/mol, with a purity of at least 90 %. 4.9.3 Vitamin A esters. 4.9.3.1 Retinyl palmitate, vitamin A palmitate, M(C36H60O2) = 524,9 g/mol. 4.9.3.2 Retinyl acetate, vitamin A acetate, M(C22H32O2) = 328,5 g/mol, with a purity of at least 90 %. 4.9.4 13-Z-retinol, M(C20H30O) = 286,5 g/mol with a purity of at least 60 % for qualitative purposes. 4.10 Stock and standard solutions 4.10.1 All-E-retinol stock solution Weigh out approximately 50 mg of all-E-retinol (4.9.2) to the nearest milligram into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dissolve in n-hexane or other suitable solvents (4.7), and dilute the solution to the mark. The stock solution contains approximately 0,5 mg/ml. Alternatively, weigh out approximately 100 mg of retinyl palmitate (4.9.3.1), or 50 mg of retinyl acetate (4.9.3.2) to the nearest milligram into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask, and dilute the solution to the mark. The stock solution concentrations calculated as retinol are approximately 0,55 mg/ml and 0,44 mg/ml, respectively. Alternative masses and volumes may be used according to chromatographic separation and quantification. ptore the stock solution protected from light at approximately −20 °C.

This solution contains approximately 10 µg/ml to 20 µg/ml and is used for identification purposes only. 4.10.3 All-E-retinol standard solution Pipette 5 ml of the all-E-retinol stock solution (4.10.1) into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with n-hexane (4.7) or other suitable solvents compatible with the mobile phase. Pipette 5 ml of this solution into a 50 ml one-mark volumetric flask, and dilute to the mark with the same solvent. The standard solution contains approximately 2,5 µg/ml. Then carry out a concentration and purity test as described in 4.10.4. Alternatively, retinyl palmitate or retinyl acetate stock solutions (4.10.1) may be used for the preparation of the standard solution. In that case, saponify an aliquot of the stock solution using the conditions described in 6.3.1. After extraction and evaporation, redissolve the residue in n-hexane or other suitable solvent and carry out a concentration test as described in 4.10.4. Protect the standard solution from light and store at a temperature of below 4 °C. A maximum storage time should be defined based on stability tests carried out by the user under designated conditions. 4.10.4 Concentration and purity test Prepare a standard solution of all-E-retinol in ethanol and measure the absorbance in a quartz cell having an optical path length of 1 cm at the maximum wavelengths of 325 nm to 326 nm with ethanol in the reference cell.

When using newly purchased vitamin A standard substances, or ones that have been stored for a prolonged period, check whether the absorption maximum of the all-E-retinol standard solution (4.10.3) used is between 325 nm and 326 nm using a suitable spectrometer. For further checks on the vitamin A standards, measure the absorbance of the standard solution in quartz cells (5.1) at wavelengths of 300 nm, 325 nm, 350 nm and 370 nm, with 2-propanol (or other suitable solvents, see 4.7) in the reference path. Determine the following ratio at each wavelength: 325EE for all-E-retinol If the ratio does not exceed 0,602 (300 nm), 0,452 (350 nm) and 0,093 (370 nm) for vitamin A alcohol, the standard substance is suitable for use [6], [7]. For retinyl palmitate (4.9.3.1), determine the ratio of E/E326 at wavelengths of 300 nm, 350 nm and 370 nm with 2-propanol (or other suitable solvents) in the reference path. If the ratio does not exceed 0,593 (300 nm), 0,537 (350 nm) and 0,142 (370 nm), the standard substance is suitable for use [6], [7], [8]. 5 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following: 5.1 UV-VIS spectrometer, capable of measuring absorbance at defined wavelengths, with appropriate quartz cells, e.g. of 1 cm path length. 5.2 Rotary evaporator, with water bath and vacuum unit.
