Overview

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of acrylamide in cereal-based products, potato-based products and coffee by gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The method has been single-laboratory validated via the analysis of spiked samples (French fries (uncooked), bread, water biscuit, infant cereal, biscuit, green coffee, roast coffee and instant coffee), ranging from 30 Mg/kg to 1 500 Mg/kg acrylamide. The results from the single laboratory validation were obtained by a laboratory with significant experience in acrylamide analysis. In addition, this method has also been studied by inter laboratory trial via the analysis of samples containing incurred acrylamide, ranging from approximately 200 Mg/kg to 2 000 Mg/kg. Critical points of the method are identified in 7.5 and Clause 8. This document (CEN/TS 17083:2017, DIN SPEC 10808) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 275 "Food analysis - Horizontal methods", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 057-01-14 AA "Prozesskontaminanten" ("Process contaminants") at DIN Standards Committee Food and Agricultural Products (NAL).
