What is BS EN 14177-Determination of patulin in clear and cloudy apple juice and puree by HPLC about?
BS EN 14177 is a European standard on foodstuffs that discusses the determination of patulin in clear and cloudy apple juice and puree by HPLC to ensure apple juice and puree are safe for consumption.
BS EN 14177 specifies a method for the determination of patulin in apple juices and apple puree using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The method under BS EN 14177 has been validated for the determination of patulin via the analysis of naturally contaminated and spiked samples in clear apple juice at levels ranging from 26 m g/l up to 128 m g/l, in cloudy apple juice at levels ranging from 26 m g/l up to 106 m g/l and in apple puree at levels ranging from 23 mg/kg up to 121 mg/kg.
Who is BS EN 14177-Determination of patulin in clear and cloudy apple juice and puree by HPLC for?
BS EN 14177 on the determination of patulin in clear and cloudy apple juice and puree by HPLC is useful for:
- Apple juice and puree manufacturers
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 14177-Determination of patulin in clear and cloudy apple juice and puree by HPLC?
Patulin, another important mycotoxin produced by Penicillium species, is a water-soluble polyketide lactone that occurs most often in apples spoiled by P. expansum or in products made from spoiled apples, such as apple juice, pies, and conserves.
BS EN 14177 provides you with guidance on apparatus, the procedure for the preparation of test samples, extraction of patulin, removal of interfering acidic compounds, spiking procedure, HPLC determination, HPLC operating conditions, calculations, precision, etc.
The HPLC methods and procedures provided by BS EN 14177 assist you with the determination of patulin in clear and cloudy apple juice and puree, improving the quality and subsistence of apple juice and puree and ensuring a reduction in the risk to human health due to the consumption of patulin content.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14177, you can enhance apple juice and purees’ effectiveness and efficacy and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
