CEN/TS 13130-15:2005

This document, part of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of butadiene monomer in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil. The level of butadiene monomer determined is expressed as mg butadiene/kg of food. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of butadiene at a range of 0,01 mg/kg to 0,1 mg/kg in food simulants.
NOTE The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants and to the other fatty food simulants such as sunflower oil and a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.
