CEN/TS 13130-19:2005

Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 19: Determination of dimethylaminoethanol in food simulants

Scope

This document, part of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of dimethylaminoethanol in food simulants: distilled water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and rectified olive oil. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of dimethylaminoethanol in an approximate analyte concentration range of 3,4 mg/kg to 36 mg per kilogram of food simulant.
NOTE The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to other fatty food simulants e.g. sunflower oil and a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.
