What is BS EN 12857-Determination of cyclamate in foodstuffs by High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) about?
BS EN 12857 is a European standard on foodstuffs that discusses the determination of cyclamate in foodstuffs to ensure foodstuffs are safe for consumption.
BS EN 12857 specifies a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of sodium cyclamate in foodstuffs.
The method under BS EN 12857 has been validated in an inter-laboratory test according to ISO 5725:1986 which has been carried out with lemonade, orange juice beverage, fruit yogurt and spray cream.
In addition to the matrices investigated in the inter-laboratory test, experiences have shown that the method under BS EN 12857 is also applicable to various foodstuffs such as gherkins, canned morello cherries, pineapple, orange nectar, apricot jam, blackberry jam, cherry nectar, hard candy, mixed fruit yogurt, strawberry yogurt, fruit quark, rice-pudding-apple-raisins, chocolate custard powder, cream dessert vanilla powder, vanilla ice, and passion fruit-orange ice cream.
Who is BS EN 12857-Determination of cyclamate in foodstuffs by HPLC for?
BS EN 12857 on the determination of cyclamate in foodstuffs by HPLC is useful for:
- Foodstuff manufacturers
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 12857-Determination of cyclamate in foodstuffs by HPLC?
Cyclamate is a non‐nutritive sweetener, 30 times as sweet as sugar, used as the free acid or the calcium salt. Cyclamate is useful in low‐calorie foods. Unlike saccharin, it is stable to heat and can therefore be used in cooking. Cyclamate could be toxic to some individuals who metabolize cyclamate to cyclohexylamine.
BS EN 12857 provides you with guidance on apparatus and equipment, the procedure for preparation of the sample solutions, derivatization, identification, determination, calculation, precision, etc.
The HPLC method and procedures provided by BS EN 12857 assist you in the determination of cyclamate in foodstuffs, improving the quality and subsistence of foodstuffs and ensuring a reduction in the risk to human health due to the consumption of cyclamate content.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 12857, you can enhance foodstuffs’ effectiveness and efficacy and create new products and launch them successfully in a global market.
