14、or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsibl
15、e for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12821:2000. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republi
16、c, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. BS EN 12821:2009EN 12821:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This Europ
17、ean Standard specifies a method for the determination of vitamin D3(cholecalciferol) or vitamin D2(ergocalciferol) in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Vitamin D3is primary in foodstuffs of animal origin, while vitamin D2is primary in wild mushrooms. Both vitamin D3 and vi
18、tamin D2can be present in fortified foodstuffs. This European Standard is not applicable for samples with a content of vitamin D3and vitamin D2. Apart from the vitamin D activity from the parent forms, vitamin D3and vitamin D2, the corresponding metabolites 25-hydroxy vitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxy vi
19、tamin D also contribute to the vitamin D activity. This European Standard does only include measurement of vitamin D3or vitamin D2. This European Standard provides the base for the analytical methods. It is intended to serve as a frame in which the analyst can define his own analytical work in accor
20、dance to the standard procedure. This method has been validated in inter-laboratory tests on fortified and non-fortified samples such as margarine, milk, milk powder, liquid infant formula, infant formula, cooking oil, and fish oil at levels from 0,4 g/100 g to 14 g/100 g. Further information on the
21、 validation data is given in Annex D. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendment
22、s) applies. EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987). 3 Principle Vitamin D3and vitamin D2are saponified in the foodstuffs using alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution and extracted by an appropriate solvent. The determination of vitamin D3or
23、vitamin D2in an appropriate sample extract solution is carried out by semi-preparative normal phase HPLC followed by reverse-phase analytical HPLC. If vitamin D3is to be determined, then vitamin D2is used as an internal standard. If vitamin D2is to be determined, then vitamin D3is used as an interna
24、l standard. Vitamin D is detected by ultraviolet (UV) spectrometry and peaks are identified on the basis of retention times and additionally by UV spectral profile if diode-array detection is used. The determination is carried out by the internal standard procedure using peak areas or peak heights,
