What is BS EN 15851-Determination of aflatoxin B1 in cereal-based foods about?
BS EN 15851 is a European standard on foodstuffs that discusses the determination of aflatoxin B1 in cereal-based foods for infants and young children to ensure cereal based food is safe for consumption.
BS EN 15851 specifies a method for the determination of aflatoxin B1 in baby food by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with immunoaffinity cleanup and fluorescence detection.
The method under BS EN 15851 has been validated in an interlaboratory study via the analysis of both naturally contaminated and spiked samples ranging from 0,07 microgram/kg to 0,18 microgram/kg.
Who is BS EN 15851-Determination of aflatoxin B1 in cereal-based foods for?
BS EN 15851 on the determination of aflatoxin B1 in cereal-based foods is useful for:
- Cereal based food manufacturers
- Occupational health and safety departments
- Risk assessment authorities
- Quality assurance departments
Why should you use BS EN 15851-Determination of aflatoxin B1 in cereal-based foods?
Aflatoxin B1 is a member of a group of mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxin B1 is the most hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic of the aflatoxins and occurs as a contaminant in a variety of foods.
BS EN 15851 provides you with guidance on apparatus, procedure, HPLC analysis, calculation, precision, test report, etc.
The HPLC method with immunoaffinity column cleanup and fluorescence detection provided by BS EN 15851 assists you in the determination of aflatoxin B1 in cereal-based foods for infants and young children and ensure a reduction in the risk to infants and children due to consumption of aflatoxin B1 content.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 15851, you can enhance cereal-based foods’ efficacy and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
