21、given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this documen

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the Europan Free Trade Association. WARNING The use of this standard can involve hazardo

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to take appropriate measures for ensuring the safety and health of the personnel prior to application of the standa

24、rd and to fulfil statutory requirements for this purpose. Benzene has been classified by IARC as carcinogenic to humans (see 1).

BS EN 16857:2017EN 16857:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of benzene in soft drinks, other beverages and vegetable-based infant foods, by headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS). The

27、 method has been validated in an interlaboratory study via the analysis of spiked samples of carbonated soft drink, still fruit-based drink, carbonated fruit-based drink, vegetable and fruit juice containing carrot, infant food vegetable based and infant food containing meat, ranging from 1,9 g/kg t

28、o 18,6 g/kg. However, linearity of the instrument response was proven for the concentration range from 0,5 g/kg to 20 g/kg. The limit of quantification (LOQ) depends on the instrument but can generally be expected to be in the range from 0,5 g/kg to 1,0 g/kg. 2 Normative references The following doc

29、uments, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

30、for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Principle The sample is homogenized, a test portion is heated in a closed system with isotopically-labelled benzene added as internal standard. A portion of the headspace is injected into a GC-MS system for identificati

31、on and quantification. The injection is performed with a split-splitless injection port. The chromatographic separation is obtained on a mid-polarity capillary GC column. The benzene is ionized at 70 eV, recorded in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, and quantified by comparison with the stable iso

32、tope labelled analogue. 4 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 1 of EN ISO 3696:1995, unless otherwise specified. Prepare standard solutions preferably gravimetrically. Use an analytical balance (5.1) for the preparation of both native and stable i

33、sotope labelled benzene standard solutions. 4.1 Benzene, C6H6, purity is 99,0 % (CAS 71-43-2). While not necessary, it is recommended to store at 4 C to 6 C to prevent evaporation. Bring to room temperature before use. 4.2 Benzene-d6, purity is 99, 6 atom % D (CAS 1076-43-3). While not necessary, it

34、 is recommended to store at 4 C to 6 C to prevent evaporation. Bring to room temperature before use. 4.3 Helium purified compressed gas, purity equivalent to 99,995 % or better. 4.4 Methanol, suitable for headspace GC analysis (CAS 67-56-1). 4.5 Preparation of stock and standard solutions 4.5.1 Gene

35、ral Prepare all standard solutions preferably gravimetrically. Record the tare masses of all recipients and the masses after each preparation step and use for calculation of the mass concentrations of standard solutions.

Weigh the sealed vial

37、 to the nearest 0,1 mg and record the weight as W1. Using a microsyringe, transfer 50 l of benzene (4.1) through the septum of the vial containing the methanol and shake vigorously or vortex to mix. Reweigh the sealed vial and record the weight (W2) to the nearest 0,1 mg. Subtract W1from W2to determ

38、ine the weight of benzene transferred (W3). Calculate the mass concentration of stock solution from W3divided by the total volume (20,05 ml). Alternatively, commercially available certified standard solutions may be used if available. Store the benzene stock solution at 4 C to 6 C but allow it to at

39、tain ambient temperature before use. Discard after 2 weeks. Once the septum on the stock solution has been pierced, the cap shall be replaced. 4.5.3 Benzene intermediate standard solution, approximately 54 g/ml Using a microsyringe, transfer 500 l of benzene stock solution (4.5.2) to a sealed headsp

40、ace vial containing 20 ml 0,1 ml of methanol and shake vigorously. Prepare fresh daily. Calculate the exact mass concentration from the stock solution (4.5.2). 4.5.4 Benzene standard solution, approximately 0,5 g/ml Using a microsyringe, transfer 200 l of benzene intermediate standard solution (4.5.

41、3) to a sealed headspace vial containing 20 ml 0,1 ml of water and shake vigorously. Prepare fresh daily. Calculate the exact concentration from the stock solution (4.5.2). Use this standard solution to prepare a 6-point calibration from 0,5 g/kg to 20 g/kg (see 4.6). 4.5.5 Benzene-d6internal standa

42、rd (IS) stock solution, approximately 2,36 mg/ml Pipette 20 ml 0,1 ml of methanol into a 20 ml headspace vial (5.17) and seal the vial with a crimp cap. Weigh the sealed vial to the nearest 0,1 mg and record the weight as W1. Using a microsyringe, transfer 50 l of benzene-d6(4.2) through the septum

43、of the vial containing the methanol and shake vigorously or vortex. Reweigh the sealed vial and record the weight (W2) to the nearest 0,1 mg. Subtract W1from W2to determine the weight of benzene-d6transferred (W3). Calculate the mass concentration of IS stock solution from W3divided by the total vol

Store the benzene-d6IS stock solution at 4 C to 6 C but allow it to attain ambient temperature before use. Discard after 2 weeks. Once the septum on the IS stock solution has been pierced, th

45、e cap shall be replaced. 4.5.6 Benzene-d6internal standard (IS) solution, approximately 4,2 g/ml Using a microsyringe, transfer 36 l of benzene-d6IS stock solution (4.5.5) to a sealed headspace vial containing 20 ml 0,1 ml of water and shake vigorously.
