6、A Sungsmittel. Because the excessive consumption of sweeteners can have a laxative effect, foodstuffs must be appropriately labelled if they are to be placed on the European market. The use of sweeteners such as acesulfame-K, aspartame, cyclamic acid, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone, saccharin and su

This standard is intended to help those involved in the food trade, the official control of foodstuffs, or in private laboratories determine whether or not a foodstuff meets the requirements of European legislation. Furthermore, this method can be used for

33、C-Na and SCL; mass concentration (sweetener i) = 30 g/ml to 250 g/ml. Prepare a mixed stock solution of all nine sweeteners by weighing the given masses of the individual sweetener standards (Table 1) first into a 100 ml beaker and dissolving them in 50 ml of methanol/water (1:1) until complete diss
34、olution. Then transfer the obtained solution quantitatively into a 500 ml volumetric flask and make up to the mark with the buffer solution (4.14).

38、NOTE In case of cyclamic acid and saccharin, their sodium salts are used, since they are either not available in free form or poorly soluble. The final concentrations of the individual sweeteners in micrograms per millilitre in the mixed stock solution have to be calculated by using the actually wei
39、ghed masses. 4.18 Standard solutions. From the mixed stock solution (4.17) prepare a series of standard solutions containing the sweeteners at levels fitting appropriate limits, e.g. the highest concentration of the calibration shall be at least equivalent to 125 % of the given limits, such as those
40、 in Commission Directives 3, 4, 5 (see Table D.1), whilst taking the dilution steps within the procedure into account (see Table 2). For sweeteners not authorised by the current EU legislation (ALI, DUL and NEO) fictitious maximum usable dosages (MUD) are assumed at approximately 200 mg/l or 200 mg/
41、kg. The user of the standard has to check whether the limits in Table D.1 are still valid. If not, the mass concentration of the standard substance in the calibration solution shall be adjusted to meet the current MUDs. NOTE The present procedure is simplified by preparing one calibration series for
42、 both food matrices. The described calibration series is fitted to canned fruits as the MUDs for canned fruits are in some cases higher than the MUDs for beverages. In case only the latter matrix is analysed the calibration series can be fitted to the MUDs of beverages. Pipette the following volumes
43、 (see Table 2) from the mixed stock solution (4.17) into appropriate volumetric flasks (10 ml to 50 ml) and make up to the mark with buffer solution (4.14) and shake thoroughly.
