CEN

CEN/TC 194 Utensils in contact with food

Technical Specification

67.250   Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs

Scope

This Technical Specification, part of EN 13031, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of acrylamide in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and fat simulant. The level of acrylamide monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of acrylamide/kg of food simulant. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of acrylamide in approximate analyte concentration range of 0,01 mg/kg to 0,1 mg/kg of food simulants.
The method should also be applicable to other fat simulants.
NOTE The suitability of the fat simulant should be assessed prior to setting up migration tests - it may be found necessary to use sunflower oil or a mixture of synthetic triglycerides if unacceptable interferences are found with olive oil.
