Overview
EN 15890:2010 (CEN) specifies a validated analytical method for the determination of patulin in fruit juices and fruit‑based purées (including baby food purée) using HPLC-UV. The method combines a liquid–liquid partition extraction (ethyl acetate/hexane), cleanup by silica solid phase extraction (SPE), solvent evaporation and reconstitution in pH 4 water, followed by reverse‑phase HPLC with ultraviolet detection (recommended at ~276 nm). Validation details are given in Clause 9 and Annex B; the method was validated on apple juice (3.0–15.5 µg/kg) and on fruit‑based baby food purée (3.4–17.9 µg/kg).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & matrixes: Fruit juices and fruit‑based purées intended for infants and young children (including commercially available baby purée ingredients used in validation).
- Sample extraction: Ethyl acetate/hexane extraction in presence of anhydrous sodium sulfate and sodium hydrogen carbonate. Rapid handling required because patulin is unstable in alkaline conditions.
- Clean‑up: Silica SPE (500 mg SiO2) with a pre‑wash of acetic acid/ethyl acetate mixture, followed by elution and evaporation to dryness under nitrogen (≤ 40 °C).
- Chromatography: Reverse‑phase HPLC with polar end‑capped or polar‑embedded C18 type columns (e.g., Synergy®, Atlantis®, Luna® types), isocratic pump (≈1 mL/min), UV detection at ~276 nm. Mobile phase: mainly water with small proportions of acetonitrile and perchloric acid; composition may be adjusted to resolve interferences (e.g., 5‑hydroxymethylfurfural).
- Standards & calibration: Patulin stock and working standards prepared in ethyl acetate/ethanol; spectrophotometric verification of concentration recommended.
- Safety & quality: Patulin and acetonitrile are hazardous-use fume hood, gloves, and safety eyewear. Water for analysis should comply with EN ISO 3696:1995.
Applications and users
- Who uses it: Food testing laboratories, baby food manufacturers, regulatory agencies, QA/QC teams, and research labs performing patulin monitoring or compliance testing.
- Practical uses:
- Regulatory compliance testing and surveillance of patulin levels in juices and infant purées.
- Routine quality control of raw materials and finished products.
- Method transfer, inter-laboratory comparisons and validation studies.
- Troubleshooting chromatographic interferences and optimizing SPE cleanup for complex purée matrices.
Related standards
- EN ISO 3696:1995 - Water for analytical laboratory use (referenced for reagent water quality).
- Validation and precision data are provided in Clause 9 and Annex B of EN 15890:2010 for laboratory implementation and performance assessment.

Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Principle Patulin is extracted from apple juice, or fruit-based purée, with a mixture of ethyl-acetate and hexane in the presence of sodium sulfate and sodium hydrogen carbonate. An aliquot of the extract is purified by solid-phase extraction and evaporated. The residue is re-dissolved in water of pH = 4 and patulin is separated by reverse phase (RP)-HPLC and quantitatively determined by UV detection. 4 Reagents 4.1 General Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 1 of EN ISO 3696:1995, unless otherwise specified. Solvents shall be of quality for HPLC analysis, unless otherwise specified. Commercially available solutions with equivalent properties to the reagents listed may be used. 4.2 Perchloric acid, the mass fraction w(HClO4) ≥ 60 % in water. 4.3 Sand, 50 mesh to 70 mesh particle size.
4.4 Silicagel solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges (500 mg SiO2). 4.5 Sodium sulfate anhydrous, Na2SO4. 4.6 Sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. 4.7 Glacial acetic acid, w(CH3COOH) ≈ 98 % in water. SIST EN 15890:2011
NOTE A mobile phase of 990 part of water with one part of perchloric acid has been found to give sufficient separation between patulin and other interfering substances (in particular 5-hydroxymethylfurfural when used in combination with a Synergy® 1) column of 250 mm length and 4,6 mm diameter with a particle size of 4 µm and 8 nm porosity (see 5.13.4)). 4.16 Patulin. WARNING — Patulin is a suspect mutagen and has been reported to have immunotoxic and neurotoxic properties. Gloves and safety glasses should be worn at all times and all standard and sample preparation stages should be carried out in a fume cupboard. 4.17 Patulin stock solution. Dissolve 5 mg of patulin or the contents of one ampoule (if patulin has been obtained as a film) in ethyl acetate (4.11). Transfer the solution to a 25 ml volumetric flask and dilute to volume with ethyl acetate to produce a solution containing approximately 200 µg/ml of patulin.
1) Synergy® is a trade name of a suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of the product named. Equivalent products may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same results. SIST EN 15890:2011
4.18 Patulin standard solution. Evaporate 1 000 µl of the stock solution (4.17) to dryness under nitrogen and then immediately dissolve it in 20 ml of ethanol (4.9) to obtain a mass concentration of approximately 10 µg/ml of patulin. To determine the exact mass concentration, record the absorption curve between 250 nm and 350 nm in a 1 cm quartz cell with ethanol as reference. Identify the wavelength for maximum absorption. Calculate the mass concentration of patulin, pat, in micrograms per millilitre, using Equation 1:
bMA×××=ερ100maxpat (1) where Amax is the absorption determined at the maximum of the absorption curve (here: at approximately 276 nm); M is the molar mass, in grams per mole, of patulin (M = 154 g/mol); 0 is the molar absorption coefficient, in square metres per mole, of patulin in ethanol (here: 1 460 m2/mol, see [2]); b is the optical path length, in centimetres, of the quartz cell. Store this solution in a freezer at approximately - 18 °C. A solution stored in this way is stable for several months. Ensure that the standard solution is allowed to reach room temperature before use to avoid incorporation of water by condensation. Confirm the concentration of the solution if it is older than six weeks. 4.19 Spiking solutions. For spiking experiments at levels of 10 ng/ml and 25 ng/ml patulin in the sample, prepare spiking solutions of patulin in water of pH = 4 (4.8) at mass concentrations of 200 ng/ml and 500 ng/ml, respectively.
These solutions can be obtained by evaporating exactly 100 µl and 250 µl respectively of the stock solution (4.17) to dryness under nitrogen in a 100 ml volumetric flask, followed by immediate dissolution in water of pH = 4 (4.8) to obtain a mass concentration of approximately 200 ng/ml and 500 ng/ml respectively of patulin, depending on the exact mass concentration of patulin in the stock solution. Make sure that the patulin is completely dissolved in the water of pH = 4 before the volumetric flask is filled up to the mark. In case the patulin standard solution (4.18) has a different mass concentration than 10 µg/ml, adjust spiking solutions by calculating the correct aliquots in order to take account of the actual mass concentration of the standard solution determined in 4.18. Store this solution in a refrigerator at 4 °C. A solution stored in this way is stable for at least eight weeks. 5 Apparatus 5.1 General Usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following.

The article discusses the European Standard EN 15890:2010, which outlines a method for determining the presence of patulin in fruit juices and fruit-based purée, including baby food purée. The method uses high performance liquid chromatography with ultra-violet detection (HPLC-UV). The validation of the method involved testing naturally contaminated and spiked samples of apple juice and fruit-based baby food purée. The study found that patulin levels in apple juice ranged from 3.0 μg/kg to 15.5 μg/kg, while levels in fruit-based baby food purée ranged from 3.4 μg/kg to 17.9 μg/kg. The article also mentions the specific ingredients used in the baby food purée tested in the study. More information on the validation process can be found in Clause 9 and Annex B of the standard.
