Foodstuffs - Determination of d-biotin by HPLC
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the mass fraction of d-biotin by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The method has been validated in an inter-laboratory test on fortified and non-fortifed samples such as cereal breakfast powder, infant milk powder, lyophilized green peas with ham, lyophilized chicken soup and on nutritive orange juice, at levels from 16 μg/100 g to 200 μg/100 g. For further information on the validation data, see Annex B. NOTE 1 d-biocytin can also be estimated by this method. But none of the samples used for the validation step contained d-biocytin. Nonetheless the recovery rate is more than 90 % for d-biotin and d-biocytin, see [2] and [3]. NOTE 2 The method underestimates the real biotin content when used for samples containing egg.
Lebensmittel - Bestimmung von d-Biotin mit HPLC
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Massenanteils an D Biotin in Lebensmitteln mit Hochleistungsflüssigchromatographie (en: high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC) fest. Das Verfahren wurde in einem Ringversuch an angereicherten und naturbelassenen Proben wie pulverisierten Frühstückscerealien, Milchpulver für Säuglinge, grünen Erbsen mit Schinken (lyophilisiert), Hühnersuppe (lyophilisiert) und an angereichertem Orangensaft validiert, die 16 µg/100 g bis 200 µg/100 g an D Biotin enthielten. Weitere Informationen, siehe Anhang B.
ANMERKUNG 1 Mit diesem Verfahren kann auch D Biocytin bewertet werden, obwohl keine der Proben, die im Ringversuch verwendet wurden, D Biocytin enthielt. Dennoch beträgt die Wiederfindungsrate für D Biotin und D Biocytin mehr als 90 %, siehe [2] und [3].
ANMERKUNG 2 Bei der Untersuchung von Proben, die Ei enthalten, ergibt das Verfahren zu kleine Werte für den Biotin Gehalt.
Produits alimentaires - Dosage de la d-biotine par CLHP
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination de la fraction massique de la d biotine par chromatographie liquide haute performance (CLHP). La méthode a été validée dans un essai interlaboratoire sur des échantillons enrichis et non enrichis tels que poudre de céréales pour petits déjeuners, lait en poudre pour nourrissons, petits pois au jambon lyophilisés, soupe au poulet lyophilisée et sur du jus d'orange nutritif, à des niveaux allant de 16 µg/100 g à 200 µg/100 g. Pour de plus amples informations sur les données de validation, voir l'Annexe B.
NOTE 1 La d-biocytine peut également être estimée par la présente méthode. Toutefois, aucun des échantillons utilisés dans l'étape de validation ne contenait de d-biocytine. Néanmoins, le taux de récupération est supérieur à 90 % pour la d-biotine et la d-biocytine (voir [2] et [3]).
NOTE 2 La méthode sous-estime la teneur réelle en biotine lorsqu'elle est utilisée avec des échantillons contenant de l'oeuf.

Overview
EN 15607:2009 (CEN) - "Foodstuffs - Determination of d‑biotin by HPLC" specifies a validated laboratory method to determine the mass fraction of d‑biotin in food by high‑performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The method uses enzymatic extraction followed by HPLC with a post‑column binding reaction (avidin labelled with FITC) and fluorescence detection. It was validated in an inter‑laboratory study on a range of fortified and non‑fortified matrices (cereal breakfast powder, infant milk powder, lyophilized green peas with ham, lyophilized chicken soup, nutritive orange juice) at levels from 16 µg/100 g to 200 µg/100 g. Annex B contains the detailed validation and precision data.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Extraction: enzymatic digestion (papain) with antioxidants and chelators (glutathione, EDTA) in citrate buffer; overnight incubation at 37 °C; optional takadiastase for high‑starch samples.
- Chromatography & detection:
- Reverse‑phase column (example: 250 × 4.0 mm, 5 µm RP‑18)
- Mobile phase: phosphate buffer / methanol (8:2 v/v)
- Flow rate: 0.4 ml/min; injection volume: 30 µl
- Post‑column derivatization using avidin‑FITC (reagent flow ~1 ml/min)
- Fluorescence detection: excitation 490 nm, emission 520 nm
- Knitted open‑tubular (KOT) reactor recommended for post‑column reaction
- Calibration & calculation:
- External calibration with a second‑degree curve using d‑biotin standards
- Results reported as µg/100 g (formula provided in standard)
- Performance & limitations:
- Recovery > 90% reported for d‑biotin and d‑biocytin (NOTE: d‑biocytin can be estimated although validation samples did not contain it)
- Method may underestimate total biotin in samples containing egg
- Repeatability and reproducibility statistics provided (see Annex B)
Practical applications and users
- Routine food analysis laboratories for nutritional labeling and quality control
- Manufacturers of infant formula, fortified foods and dietary supplements performing in‑house testing
- Regulatory and compliance bodies verifying declared biotin content
- Research laboratories studying biotin content in complex food matrices
