Overview

The BS EN ISO 18363-4:2021 standard is an essential document for professionals in the food and oil industries. This standard provides a comprehensive method for the determination of fatty-acid-bound chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol in animal and vegetable fats and oils. Utilizing the advanced GC/MS Method with fast alkaline transesterification, this standard ensures precise and reliable measurement of 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and glycidol by GC-MS/MS.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Methodology: The standard outlines a detailed procedure for the determination of MCPDs and glycidol, ensuring accuracy and consistency in results.
  • Advanced Techniques: Employs GC/MS Method using fast alkaline transesterification and GC-MS/MS for precise measurement.
  • Wide Applicability: Suitable for both animal and vegetable fats and oils, making it versatile for various industries.
  • Up-to-Date Information: Released on 2021-08-19, this standard incorporates the latest advancements and research in the field.

Detailed Description

The BS EN ISO 18363-4:2021 standard is a critical tool for ensuring the safety and quality of fats and oils used in food production. Chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol are contaminants that can form during the processing of fats and oils, and their presence needs to be accurately measured to comply with safety regulations and standards.

This standard provides a robust and reliable method for the determination of these contaminants. The use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) combined with fast alkaline transesterification allows for the efficient and accurate measurement of 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD, and glycidol. The GC-MS/MS technique further enhances the precision of the measurements, ensuring that even trace amounts of these substances can be detected.

The methodology outlined in this standard is designed to be both comprehensive and user-friendly. It includes detailed instructions on sample preparation, instrument calibration, and data analysis, making it accessible to both experienced professionals and those new to the field. The standard also provides guidance on interpreting the results and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety: By accurately measuring MCPDs and glycidol, this standard helps ensure the safety of fats and oils used in food production.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps manufacturers comply with national and international safety standards and regulations.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensures the quality and purity of fats and oils, enhancing consumer trust and satisfaction.
  • Cost-Effective: The efficient methodology reduces the time and resources required for testing, making it a cost-effective solution for manufacturers.

Who Should Use This Standard?

The BS EN ISO 18363-4:2021 standard is ideal for a wide range of professionals and organizations, including:

  • Food and beverage manufacturers
  • Quality control laboratories
  • Regulatory bodies and inspectors
  • Research and development teams
  • Academic institutions

Conclusion

The BS EN ISO 18363-4:2021 standard is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the production, testing, and regulation of animal and vegetable fats and oils. Its comprehensive methodology, advanced techniques, and wide applicability make it a must-have for ensuring the safety, quality, and compliance of fats and oils in the food industry. With this standard, you can be confident in your ability to accurately measure MCPDs and glycidol, safeguarding both your products and your consumers.

DESCRIPTION

BS EN ISO 18363-4:2021


This standard BS EN ISO 18363-4:2021 Animal and vegetable fats and oils. Determination of fatty-acid-bound chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol by GC/MS is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 67.200.10 Animal and vegetable fats and oils

This document specifies a rapid procedure for the simultaneous determination of 2-MCPD esters (bound 2-MCPD), 3?MCPD esters (bound 3?MCPD) and glycidyl esters (bound glycidol) in a single assay, based on alkaline catalysed ester cleavage and derivatization of cleaved (free) analytes with phenylboronic acid (PBA) prior to GC-MS/MS analysis. Glycidyl ester overestimation is corrected by addition of an isotopic labelled ester bound 3-MCPD which allows the quantification of 3-MCPD induced glycidol during the procedure.

This method is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. This document also applies to animal fats and used frying oils and fats, but these matrices were not included in the validation. For all three analytes the limit of quantification (LOQ) is 0,1 mg/kg and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0,03 mg/kg.

Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products), infant formulas, emulsifiers, free fatty acids and other fats- and oils-derived matrices are excluded from the scope of this document.
