What is BS EN 17280-Determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs about?
BS EN 17280 is a European standard on the determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs to prevent severe health effects.
BS EN 17280 specifies a procedure for the determination of nivalenol (NIV), deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetyl derivatives (3-acetyl-DON and 15-acetyl-DON), HT-2 and T-2 toxins (HT-2 and T-2) and zearalenone (ZEN) in cereals and cereal products by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) after clean-up by solid-phase extraction (SPE).
The method specified by BS EN 17280 has been validated with samples of wheat, wheat flour, and wheat crackers.
Who is BS EN 17280-Determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs for?
BS EN 17280 on the determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food laboratories
- Food technologists
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 17280-Determination of mycotoxins in foodstuffs?
The mycotoxins nivalenol, deoxynivalenol, and its acetyl derivatives (3-acetyl deoxynivalenol, 15-acetyl deoxynivalenol), T-2 toxin and its metabolite HT-2 toxin, and zearalenone are produced by various Fusarium species.
BS EN 17280 provides you with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) methods to detect mycotoxins in foodstuffs.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 17280 assist you to detect the mycotoxins that are present in foodstuffs such as cereals like wheat, maize, barley, oats, rye, and relevant derived products and ensure to prevent severe health issues in human beings due to consumption of these foodstuffs.
BS EN 17280 assist the user in preventing hazards due to the consumption of foodstuffs that has mycotoxins in them.
