This standard PD CEN/TS 17083:2017 Foodstuffs. Determination of acrylamide in food and coffee by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is classified in these ICS categories:
67.080.20 Vegetables and derived products
67.060 Cereals, pulses and derived products
67.050 General methods of tests and analysis for food products
67.140.20 Coffee and coffee substitutes
This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of acrylamide in cereal-based products, potato-based products and coffee by gas-chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The method has been single-laboratory validated via the analysis of spiked samples (French fries (uncooked), bread, water biscuit, infant cereal, biscuit, green coffee, roast coffee and instant coffee), ranging from 30 ?g/kg to 1 500 ?g/kg acrylamide. The results from the single laboratory validation were obtained by a laboratory with significant experience in acrylamide analysis. In addition, this method has also been studied by inter laboratory trial via the analysis of samples containing incurred acrylamide, ranging from approximately 200 ?g/kg to 2 000 ?g/kg. Critical points of the method are identified in 7.5 and Clause 8.
