67.080.01 - Fruits, vegetables and derived products in general

This document specifies requirements and test methods for priests (caper). It includes requirements for caper buds.

This International Standard specifies a method that is applicable for the detection and enumeration of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts on or in food products that are described herein as fresh leafy green vegetables and berry fruits. With suitable controls, it may also be applicable for the examination of other fresh produce.
This method does not allow the determination of viability or infectivity of any Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts which may be present. The microscopy des...view more

This European Standard gives general considerations for the determination of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin. Each method specified in this European Standard is suitable for identifying and quantifying a definite range of those organohalogen, and/or organophosphorus and/or organonitrogen pesticides which occur as residues in foodstuffs of plant origin. This European Standard contains the following methods that have been subjected to interlaboratory studies and/or are adopted througho...view more

This European Standard specifies methods for the extraction and clean-up of food samples of plant origin for quantitative determination of pesticide residues. Different solvents can be used for this purpose. These pesticide residues are generally associated with other co-extracted compounds which would interfere in the analysis. To purify the crude extracts to be analysed, several techniques can be used. This European Standard contains the following extraction and clean-up methods that have been...view more

This European Standard gives guidance on some recommended techniques for the determination of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin and on confirmatory tests. The identity of any observed pesticide residue is confirmed, particularly in those cases in which it would appear that the maximum residue limit has been exceeded.

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the hydrochloric-acid-insoluble ash yielded by fruit and vegetable products.
The method serves for the determination of siliceous impurities, together with the silica endogenous to the plant.
NOTE A method for the determination of mineral impurities generally originating from the soil is specified in ISO 7621).

This International Standard specifies a method for extracting the sorbic acid present in fruits, vegetables and derived products, and two techniques for determining the sorbic acid extracted.

This part of ISO 6561 specifies an atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the cadmium content of fruits, vegetables and derived products.
NOTE The method of cadmium determination in fruit, vegetables and derived products is based on AOAC Official Methods of Analysis [1].

This International Standard specifies a refractometric method for the determination of the soluble solids in fruit and vegetable products.
This method is particularly applicable to thick products, to products containing suspended matter, and to products rich in sugar. If the products contain other dissolved substances, the results will be only approximate; nevertheless, for convenience the result obtained by this method can be considered conventionally as the soluble solids content.
NOTE For t...view more

This International Standard specifies a method for determining the benzoic acid content of fruits, vegetables and derived products.
As chlorobenzoic acids are resistant to oxidation, the method cannot be applied in the presence of
p-chlorobenzoic acid, as the absorption spectrum of this acid is close to that of benzoic acid. Neither can it be used in the presence of cinnamic acid, which is transformed into benzoic acid by chromic acid oxidation.
NOTE The cinnamic acid determined as benzoic ac...view more

This part of ISO 6561 specifies a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the cadmium content of fruits, vegetables and derived products.

This international Standard specifies a method for the determination of the mineral impurities content (impurities generally originating from the soil) of fruit and vegetable products.

ISO 5519:2008 specifies a method for extracting the sorbic acid present in fruits, vegetables and derived products, and two techniques for determining the sorbic acid extracted.

This European Standard is applicable to the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 in hazelnuts, figs, pistachios, peanuts and paprika powder. The limit of quantification of the method is 0,8 ng/g for each aflatoxin or better (value derived from in-house and collaborative study), depending on the equipment used.

ISO 22855:2008 specifies a method using high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of the concentration of benzoic and sorbic acids in fruit and vegetable juices.

ISO 5518:2007 specifies a method for determining the benzoic acid content of fruits, vegetables and derived products. As chlorobenzoic acids are resistant to oxidation, the method cannot be applied in the presence of p-chlorobenzoic acid, as the absorption spectrum of this acid is close to that of benzoic acid. Neither can it be used in the presence of cinnamic acid, which is transformed into benzoic acid by chromic acid oxidation.

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].
