General Information
This document, part of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of maleic acid in the four conventional food simulants, water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil or approved substitute. The level of maleic acid determined is expressed as milligrams of maleic acid per kilogram of food or food simulant. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of maleic acid in approximate analyte concentration range of 5 mg/kg to 60 mg/kg in the above mentioned food simulants.
This method is also suitable for the determination of maleic anhydride in the four food simulants as the anhydride is hydrolyzed rapidly and completely to maleic acid during sample preparation. The level of maleic anhydride is then expressed as milligrams of maleic acid per kilogram of food simulant.
NOTE The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to the other fatty food simulants, e.g. sunflower oil, corn oil or a mixture of synthetic triglycerides. The suitability of the fat simulant should be assessed prior to setting up migration tests - it may be found necessary to use sunflower oil or HB 307 if unacceptable interferences are found with olive oil.

This document, part of EN 13130, specifies a procedure for the determination of 1,3-benzenedimethanamine (also known as 3-(aminomethyl)-benzylamine or m-xylylene diamine (m-XDA)) monomer, hereinafter referred to as m-XDA, in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil. The level of m-XDA monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of m-XDA per kilogram of food simulant in the above mentioned food simulants.
NOTE In addition to the instability of m-XDA observed in olive oil, the test laboratory could not detect any
m-XDA peak from the olive oil work-up procedure. Based on some control checks, the assumption of the test laboratory was that the extraction from the olive oil does not work. Therefore, it is recommended that the food simulant 95 % ethanol or iso-octane be applied as substitute fatty simulants instead of olive oil. It is believed that 95 % ethanol and iso-octane can be treated in the same way as 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil simulant, respectively. Corresponding investigations were not possible within the project.
