What is BS EN 16155-Determination of sucralose in foodstuffs about?
BS EN 16155 is a European standard on foodstuffs that discusses the determination of sucralose in foodstuffs to ensure the foodstuff is safe for consumption.
BS EN 16155 specifies a method for the determination of sucralose in foodstuffs by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) by means of elution from a reversed-phased (RP) column using aqueous methanol, followed by RI detection.
The method under BS EN 16155 has been validated in an inter-laboratory study via the analysis of sucralose (from 83 mg/kg to 737 mg/kg) in spiked samples of ketchup, mayonnaise, biscuits, yoghurt, instant beverage powder and sweets.
Who is BS EN 16155-Determination of sucralose in foodstuffs for?
BS EN 16155 on the determination of sucralose in foodstuffs is useful for:
- Food manufacturers
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 16155-Determination of sucralose in foodstuffs?
Sucralose is a general-purpose sweetener that can be found in a variety of foods including baked goods, beverages, chewing gum, gelatins, and frozen dairy desserts. It is heat stable, meaning that it stays sweet even when used at high temperatures during baking, making it suitable as a sugar substitute in baked goods. For some people, it may raise blood sugar and insulin levels. It may also damage the bacterial environment in your gut.
BS EN 16155 provides you with guidance on apparatus and equipment, procedures, preparation of test samples, solid-phase extraction, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) identification, quantitative determination, precision and statistical data of the inter-laboratory trial.
The methods and procedure provided by BS EN 16155 assist you in the determination of sucralose in foodstuffs, improve foodstuffs’ quality and ensure a reduction in the risk to health due to consumption of sucralose.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 16155, you can enhance foodstuffs’ efficacy and manufacture a standardized high-quality product that has acceptance in the global market.
