This standard BS EN 15054:2006 Non fatty foods. Determination of chlormequat and mepiquat. LC-MS method is classified in these ICS categories:
67.080.01 Fruits, vegetables and derived products in general
67.060 Cereals, pulses and derived products
This draft European Standard specifies a method using high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for the determination of the growth regulators chlormequat and mepiquat in non fatty foods as chlormequat and mepiquat cation, respectively. The method is applicable to all kinds of fruits, vegetables and cereal products. It has been collaboratively studied on mushrooms, pears, wheat flour and fruit puree, see [1].
