8、 published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is a revision of BS5766-7:1984, which is withdrawn and from which it differs in that a factor in5.14.1 a) has been corrected. In the United Kingdom, animal feeding stuffs are controlled by legislation. The method in this Part
9、 of BS5766 is technically equivalent to the method given in the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and analysis) Regulations 1982. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and cer
10、tain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. In British Standards it is curr
11、ent practice to use the symbol “L” for litre (and in its submultiples) rather than “l” and to use the spelling “sulphur”, etc. instead of “sulfur”, etc. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “Part of BS5766”. Cross-references. The Tech
12、nical Committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO6498:1983, referred to in8.1.2, and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. The United Kingdom did not approve ISO6498 but, in the present context, test samples prepared in accordance with ISO6498 or BS5766 “Me
13、thods for analysis of animal feeding stuffs” Part 10 “Preparation of test samples” are equally acceptable. A related British Standard for ISO565:1983, referred to in the footnote to6.2, is BS410:1986 “Specification for test sieves”, the relevant requirements of which are technically equivalent. Addi
14、tional information. Where the words “simple” and “mixed” are used in relation to feeding stuffs, they should be read as “straight” and “compound” respectively, as these are the terms commonly used in the United Kingdom. Water complying with grade3 of BS3978 “Specification for water for laboratory us
15、e” is suitable for reagents (seeclause5). Care should be taken to ensure that the chloroform (see5.1) is stabilized with the specified proportion of ethanol as some suppliers use higher proportions. It is recommended that ready-to-use TLC plates (see6.7) be used. The requirement in 8.8 may be constr
16、ued as meaning that the mean of the two values determined is to be reported as the result. With reference to the information in9.2, the following is considered to be a more useful form of expression. Repeatability. The difference between the values of two determinations, carried out on the same test
17、 sample either simultaneously or in rapid succession by the same analyst will not exceed30% (relative value) of their mean, otherwise the determinations should be repeated. Reproducibility. The difference between two single and independent values obtained by two analysts working in different laborat
18、ories on parts of the same test sample will not exceed80% (relative value) of the mean of the values of the two laboratories on more than one occasion in20.BS5766-7:1988 BSI 12-1999 iii A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standa
19、rds are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

21、t of animal feeding stuffs. 2 Field of application 2.1 Method A is applicable to the following simple feeding stuffs: oilseeds and oilseed residues, and in particular ground-nut, copra, linseed, soya, sesame, babassu palm; manioc meal; maize germ expeller; cereals and cereal products; pea meal; pota
22、to pulp and flour. In the presence of substances interfering with the determination by method A, it is recommended that the determination be carried out in accordance with method B. 2.2 Method B is applicable to mixed feeding stuffs and to simple feeding stuffs not mentioned in2.1. This method is no
23、t applicable to feeding stuffs containing citrus pulp. 2.3 The lower limit of detection of aflatoxin B 1is0,01mg/kg. 3 Reference ISO 6498, Animal feeding stuffs Preparation of test samples. 4 Principle Extraction of the test portion with chloroform, filtration, and purification of an aliquot portion
24、 on a silica gel column. Evaporation of the eluate and dissolution of the residue in a specified volume of chloroform or mixture of benzene and acetonitrile. Thin-layer chromatography, one-dimensional for method A and two-dimensional for method B, of an aliquot portion of this solution. Determinatio
25、n of the aflatoxin B 1content, either visually or by fluorodensitometry, by examination of the chromatogram under ultraviolet light and comparison with known quantities of standard aflatoxin B 1applied to the same plate as the test portion extract.

WARNING Aflatoxins are highly carcinogenic
32、 and must be handled with great care. Prepare and check the solution as follows. 5.14.1 Preparation of stock solution and determination of concentration Prepare a solution of aflatoxin B 1in the chloroform(5.1) or the benzene/acetonitrile mixture(5.4) such that the concentration is between8 and104g/
33、ml. Determine the absorption spectrum between330and370nm by means of the spectrophotometer(6.9).

Calculate the concentration of aflatoxin B 1 , in microgram
34、s per millilitre of solution, from the formulae: a) for the chloroform solution: b) for the solution in the benzene/acetonitrile mixture: 5.14.2 Dilution Dilute the stock solution (5.14.1), as appropriate, away from daylight, to obtain a standard solution with a concentration of aflatoxin B 1of abou
35、t0,1g/ml. If kept in a refrigerator at 4 C, this solution is stable for 2 weeks. 1) The solvents should be used in covered tanks. When saturated tanks are specified, this is achieved by lining the tanks with absorbent paper and allowing the interiors to become saturated with solvent vapour.BS5766-7:
