What is BS EN 14164-Determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) about?
BS EN 14164 is a European standard of foodstuffs that discusses the determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by HPLC to enhance its nutritional value.
BS EN 14164 specifies a method for the determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Vitamin B6 is the mass fraction of the sum of pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine including their phosphorylated derivatives determined as pyridoxine.
The β-glycosylated forms are not considered. These can be determined with the method given in EN 14663 by which the different vitamins of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine) are separated and individually quantified. EN 14166, determines the total vitamin B6 by microbiological assay.
Pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and pyridoxine are extracted from food by acid hydrolysis and dephosphorylated enzymatically using acid phosphatase.
Who is BS EN 14164-Determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by HPLC for?
BS EN 14164 on the determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by HPLC is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 14164-Determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by HPLC?
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that your body needs for several functions. It is significant to protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
BS EN 14164 provides you guidance with apparatus, procedures, preparation of the test sample, determination by HPLC and calculation.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 14164 assist you in the determination of vitamin B6 in foodstuffs by HPLC, improve the quality of foodstuffs and enhance the subsistent of vitamin B6 which help to maintain a normal amount of amino acid in human blood.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14164, you can enhance the efficacy of the foodstuffs and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
