DIN EN 15911
Foodstuffs - Simultaneous determination of nine sweeteners by high performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light scattering detection; German version EN 15911:2010

Title (German)

Lebensmittel - Gleichzeitige Bestimmung von neun Süßungsmitteln mit Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie und Verdampfungs-Lichtstreu-Detektion; Deutsche Fassung EN 15911:2010

Overview

This standard describes a HPLC method with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) for the simultaneous determination of nine sweeteners (acesulfame-K, alitame, aspartame, cyclamic acid, dulcin, neotame, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone, saccharin and sucralose) in foodstuffs. The method has been fully validated through collaborative trial, according to the IUPAC Harmonised Protocol, on analyte-matrix combinations of all nine sweeteners in beverages and canned or bottled fruits. The procedure involves extraction of the nine sweeteners with a buffer solution, sample clean-up using solidphase extraction cartridges followed by HPLC-ELSD analysis. The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 275 "Food analysis - Horizontal methods" (secretariat: DIN) after in-depth preliminary work of WG 2 "Sweeteners". The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 057-01-11 AA "Süßungsmittel" ("Sweeteners") of NAL.
