scope:
This document, part of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of EDA monomer and HMDA monomer in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil as well as in the substitute food simulants 95 % v/v ethanol and iso-octane. The level of EDA monomer and HMDA monomer determined are expressed as milligram EDA per kilogram of food simulant and as milligrams HMDA per kilogram of food simulant. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of EDA at a minimum level of 1 mg per kilogram of food simulants and for the quantitative determination of HMDA at a minimum level of 0,5 mg per kilogram of food simulants. The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to the other fatty food simulants sunflower oil and a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.
