16、ifies a procedure for the determination of the content of free fatty acid, FFA, in alkylamidopropylbetaines, which is defined as being the amount of fatty acid expressed in grams per 100 g of product. This method has been validated for the determination of fatty acids from C6to C20in a total concent
17、ration range from 0,02 g to more than 3,0 g fatty acid per 100 g of product. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

19、. Then the extracted fatty acids are derivatised and subsequently analysed by GLC-FID. The chromatogram resolves the different acids according to their alkyl chain length. For quantification the sum of the peak areas of all fatty acid homologues is related to the peak area of the internal standard t

25、Annex A. 6 Sampling and preparation of the test sample The test sample shall be prepared and stored in accordance with ISO 607. 7 Procedure 7.1 Fatty acid extraction Weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg, 1,0 g of sample in a 15 ml glass vial with threaten cap. For samples having an expected content lower tha
26、n 1 g of free fatty acid per 100 g of sample, weigh about 2 g of sample. Add 5 ml of a water-ethanol 1:1 (v/v) mixture, and homogenize. Add with a precision pipette, 500 l aliquot of Internal Standard Solution (4.6). Add 0,5 ml of HCl (4.5) to acidify the media, and homogenize. The pH-value of the s
27、olution shall be below 2. Add 5 ml of Petroleum Ether. Shake the tube vigorously (about 1 min) and let stand until phase separation (2 min are usually enough). 7.2 Preparation of the Methyl Ester (Methylation by TMPAH) NOTE Prior to analysis, the fatty acids extracted from the sample are methylated
28、to ensure good GC peak allowing a good quantitative analysis. Methylation can easily be done by TMPAH with the reaction being performed in the GLC injector. However, as this procedure requires high temperatures the subsequent use of an apolar GLC column (100% dimethyl polysiloxane) is recommended. A
29、lternatively the methylation can be performed as liquid reaction with methanol with boron trifluoride as catalyst. Transfer 500 l of the extract (7.1) to an autosampler vial (2 ml). Add 500 l of a mixture of methanol/methyl tert-butyl ether (4.8/4.9) 1:1 and mix carefully. Subsequently add two drops
30、 of the phenolphthalein solution (4.10). BS EN 15608:2008EN 15608:2008 (E) 6 Finally TMPAH (4.7) is added drop wise until the solution is no longer discoloured and remains magenta. Analyse the solution directly by injecting 2 l into the GC at an injector temperature of at least 310 C. 7.3 Gas Chroma
31、tography GC The analysis of the derivatives is performed by capillary gas chromatography. There are various separation columns of different polarity capable to separate fatty acid methyl esters. However their application may be restricted by the methylation procedure (see 7.2 and Annex B.3). In eith
32、er case the retention times of the individual fatty acids (C6 to C20 including all of the relevant unsaturated species) have to be determined by a reference analysis of a standard FAME (fatty acid methyl esters) mixture. An appropriate GC analysis on a non polar separation column including all param
33、eters is shown in Annex A. 8 Calculation and expression of results The total free fatty acid, w, is obtained from the GLC chromatogram and calculated as follows in grams per 100 g sample: sistdistdistdiimRmAAw= (1) where Ai is the area of each one of the peaks corresponding to fatty acid homologues
34、except that of the internal standard; Aistdis the area of the internal standard peak; msis the sample weight (7.1), in grams; mistdis the weight of Internal standard in the aliquot (7.1), in grams; Ristdis the Internal standard purity in grams per 100 grams. The relative response factors of all the
35、fatty acid homologues respectively the tridecanoic acid internal standard are assumed to be equal for C6to C20fatty acids (see Annex B). 9 Precision 9.1 Repeatability limit The absolute difference between two independent single test results, obtained using the same method on identical test material
36、in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within a short interval of time, will not exceed the repeatability limit, r, in more than 5 % of cases. BS EN 15608:2008EN 15608:2008 (E) 7 9.2 Reproducibility limit The absolute difference between two independent single test resul
37、ts, obtained using the same method on identical test material in different laboratories by different operators using different equipment, will not exceed the reproducibility limit, R, in more than 5 % of the cases. 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) all inform

BS EN 15608:2008EN 15608:2008 (E) 9 Annex B (informative) Method validation B.1 Calibration The individual calibrati
42、on factors of C8- C20 acid versus C13 acid may differ from 0,85 l to 1,1 depending on the chain length and the cleanness of the GC equipment . For coconut fatty acids an overall average correction factor of 0,97 to 1,03 depending on the individual chain length distribution is achieved. For practical
43、 reasons a relative response factor of coconut fatty acids to tridecanoic acid is assumed as 1. This overcomes the necessity of calibration measurements for all individual fatty acids. This may be acceptable unless betaines with a fatty acid distribution differing from coconut fatty acid have to be
44、analysed. For a maximum precision or if the chain length distribution differs from coconut fatty acid, a suitable calibration is advised. B.2 Statistical and other data derived from the results of interlaboratory tests The interlaboratory test was carried out in 2006 by CESIO (Comit Europen des agen
45、ts de Surface et de leurs Intermdiaires Organiques)/AISE (International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products) WG “Surfactant Analysis“. The test samples were commercial alkylamidopropylbetaines. The results of interlaboratory test were evaluated in accordance with ISO 5725-2 (s

48、or one step extraction as is described in 7.1, the average recovery has been of 90 %. The extraction of free fatty acids in one step has been introduced for practical reasons although short chain fatty acids (C8-C12) are not fully extracted. A higher recovery ( 97 %) is achievable if the extraction
49、is performed in 3 steps, each with 2 ml of petroleum ether solvent.
