Animal feeding stuffs - Methods of sampling and analysis - Determination of benzoic and sorbic acid by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
This document specifies a method for the determination of benzoic acid and sorbic acid in animal feeding stuffs by high-performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV).
The method is intended to be used for the determination of benzoic acid and sorbic acid as active substances in feed additives, premixtures, feed materials and compound feed and for benzoic acid in water. This method determines the total extractable concentration of these organic acids and their salts.
It is advisable that the working range of the method is determined for each organic acid by the user of this standard. The lower limit of the working range depends on the matrix and the interferences encountered. It is advisable that a working range between 5 mg/l and 100 mg/l is accessible.
The method was successfully tested in an inter-laboratory study in concentrations between 0,02 % up to 9,0 %.
On the basis of the referred working range, sample weight and extraction volume, limits of quantification (LOQ), as calculated (Table 1) on the basis of a wavelength of 230 nm, can be achievable.
Futtermittel - Probenahme- und Untersuchungsverfahren - Bestimmung von Benzoesäure und Sorbinsäure mittels Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie (HPLC)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Benzoesäure und Sorbinsäure in Futtermitteln mittels Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie mit Ultraviolett Detektion (HPLC UV, en: high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection) fest.
Das Verfahren ist für die Verwendung zur Bestimmung von Benzoesäure und Sorbinsäure als Wirkstoffe in Futtermittelzusatzstoffen, Futtermittel Ausgangserzeugnissen, Vormischungen, Mischfuttermitteln und für Benzoesäure in Wasser vorgesehen. Dieses Verfahren ermittelt die extrahierbare Gesamtkonzentration dieser organischen Säuren und ihrer Salze.
Dem Anwender dieser Norm wird empfohlen, den Arbeitsbereich des Verfahrens für jede organische Säure zu ermitteln. Der untere Grenzwert des Arbeitsbereiches hängt von der Matrix und den aufgetretenen Störungen ab. Es wird empfohlen, dass ein Arbeitsbereich zwischen 5 mg/l und 100 mg/l eingehalten wird.
Das Verfahren wurde im Rahmen einer Ringversuchsstudie bei Konzentrationen von 0,02 % bis 9,0 % erfolg¬reich geprüft.
Auf der Grundlage des zugehörigen Arbeitsbereichs, der Probenmasse und des Extraktionsvolumens können Bestimmungsgrenzen (LOQ) (en: limits of quantification) wie auf der Grundlage einer Wellen¬länge von 230 nm berechnet (Tabelle 1) erreichbar sein.
Aliments des animaux - Méthodes d’échantillonnage et d’analyse - Dosage de l’acide benzoïque et de l’acide sorbique par chromatographie liquide à haute pression (CLHP)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de dosage de l’acide benzoïque et de l’acide sorbique dans les aliments pour animaux, par chromatographie liquide à haute performance avec détecteur UV (CLHP UV).
La méthode est destinée à permettre le dosage de l’acide benzoïque et de l’acide sorbique présents comme substances actives dans les additifs pour l’alimentation animale, les prémélanges, les matières premières pour aliments et les aliments composés pour animaux, ainsi que le dosage de l’acide benzoïque dans l’eau. Cette méthode détermine la concentration totale extractible de ces acides organiques et de leurs sels.
Il est recommandé à l’utilisateur de la présente norme de déterminer le domaine de mesure de la méthode pour chaque acide organique. La limite inférieure du domaine de mesure dépend de la matrice et des interférences rencontrées. Il convient de pouvoir atteindre un domaine de mesure compris entre 5 mg/l et 100 mg/l.
La méthode a été soumise à essai avec succès lors d’une étude interlaboratoires à des concentrations allant de 0,02 % à 9,0 %.
En s’appuyant sur le domaine de mesure mentionné, le poids de l’échantillon et le volume d’extraction, il est possible d’atteindre les limites de quantification (LQ), telles que calculées (Tableau 1) pour une longueur d’onde de 230 nm.

Krma - Metode vzorčenja in analize - Določevanje benzojske in sorbinske kisline s tekočinsko kromatografijo visoke ločljivosti (HPLC)
Ta dokument določa metodo za določevanje benzojske kisline in sorbinske kisline v krmi s tekočinsko kromatografijo visoke ločljivosti z UV-detekcijo (HPLC-UV).
Ta metoda je predvidena za določevanje benzojske kisline in sorbinske kisline kot aktivnih snovi v dodatkih za krmo, premiksih, krmnih mešanicah ter za benzojsko kislino v vodi. Ta metoda določa skupno koncentracijo teh organskih kislin in njihovih soli, ki jo je mogoče ekstrahirati.
Uporabnik tega standarda mora določiti delovni razpon metode za vsako organsko kislino. Spodnja meja delovnega razpona je odvisna od matrice in motenj, ki se pojavijo. Delovni razpon med 5 mg/l in 100 mg/l naj bi bil dosegljiv.
Metoda je bila uspešno preskušena v medlaboratorijski študiji pri koncentracijah od 0,02 % do 9 %.
Na podlagi omenjenega delovnega razpona, teže vzorca in volumna ekstrakta naj bi bile mejne vrednosti kvantifikacije (LOQ) dosegljive, kot so izračunane na podlagi valovne dolžine 230 nm (preglednica 1).

Introduction
Organic acids and their salts such as citric acid, formic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, fumaric
acid, benzoic acid and sorbic acid are animal feed additives which play an important role in animal feeding
by improving the animals’ performance and decreasing the development of pathogenic microorganisms
in the intestine especially in the pig production. Concerning the feed legislation the substances can be
used for different purposes depending on its functions and properties. According to their functional
principle or their function, the relevant organic acid could be allocated within one or more of the
functional groups mentioned in Annex I of Regulation (EC) no. 1831/2003 as preservative, acidity
regulators, flavouring compounds, silage additives or other zoo-technical additives.

4 Principle
The sample is extracted with a mixture of sodium acetate buffer and methanol. The extract is filtered or
centrifuged and – if necessary – diluted. The amount of organic acids extracted from the sample is
determined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), applying a RP 18 column, in
conjunction with diode array detection (DAD) or ultraviolet detection (UV). The quantification is carried
out by an external calibration.
