What is BS EN 16923-LC-Determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products about?
BS EN 16923 discusses the determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products for infants and young children. BS EN 16923 is a European standard that provides the LC-MS/MS method for the determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products for infants and young children to ensure they are safe for consumption.
BS EN 16923 describes a method for the determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal-based products e.g., oats, intended for the nutrition of infants and young children by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) after clean-up by solid-phase extraction (SPE).
The method under BS EN 16923 can also be applied to cereals and cereal products for infants and young children based on e.g., wheat, barley, and rice. In this case, the method needs to be in-house validated for each material. At the time of the interlaboratory study, the planned range was 10 microgram/kg to 100 microgram /kg, and it is known from the pre-study that the method works well in the entire range, although final validation was only done in the range from 3,5 microgram /kg to 28,1 microgram /kg.
Who is BS EN 16923-Determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products for?
BS EN 16923 on the determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products is relevant to:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 16923-Determination of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin in cereals and cereal products?
The mycotoxin T-2 toxin and its metabolite HT-2 toxin belong to the group of trichothecenes which are produced by various Fusarium species. Cereals like maize, wheat, barley, oats, and rye are most likely to be affected.
BS EN 16923 provides you with apparatus and equipment, procedures, LC-MS/MS analysis, calculation, precision, system settings for micro mass Quattro LC, and much more.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 16923 assist in improving the quality of cereals and cereal products and ensure reducing the risk on infants and children due to consumption of T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin.
By adopting BS EN 16923 you can improve the quality of cereal and cereal products and produce higher quality products.
