What is BS EN 16802-Determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin about?
BS EN 16802 is a European standard on the determination of elements and their chemical species that discusses the determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin to ensure it is safe for consumption.
BS EN 16802 describes a procedure for the determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin by anion-exchange HPLC-ICP-MS following water bath extraction.
The method specified under BS EN 16802 has been validated in an interlaboratory test on white rice, wholemeal rice, leek, blue mussels, fish muscle, and seaweed with an inorganic arsenic mass fraction in the range of 0,073 mg/kg to 10,3 mg/kg.
Who is BS EN 16802-Determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin for?
BS EN 16802 on the determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 16802-Determination of inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin?
Swallowing high levels of arsenic can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness and cramping, skin rashes, and other problems. Exposure to high enough amounts of arsenic can be fatal.
BS EN 16802 provides you with apparatus and equipment, procedures, determination of inorganic arsenic by HPLC-ICP-MS, HPLC sequence, quality control, calculation, and much more.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 16802 assist you in determining inorganic arsenic in foodstuffs of marine and plant origin, improve the quality of food and ensure reduction in severe health issues due to consumption of inorganic arsenic content.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 16802, you can enhance the efficacy of the foodstuffs of marine and plant origin and manufacture a standardized product.
