AOAC 2002.07 Steviol Glycosides Testing in Stevia-Sweetened Items: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The testing of steviol glycosides in stevia-sweetened items is governed by various international and national standards. The AOAC 2002.07 method for the determination of total steviol glycosides is one such standard that has been widely adopted globally.

ISO Standards

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing international standards. In the context of stevia-sweetened items testing, the relevant ISO standards include:

  • ISO 11822:2005 - Steviol glycosides - Determination of total steviol glycosides
  • ISO 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • ASTM Standards

    The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is another prominent standard development organization that has developed standards related to stevia-sweetened items testing. The relevant ASTM standards include:

  • ASTM E2586-11 - Standard Test Method for Steviol Glycosides in Foods
  • ASTM D7349-10 - Standard Practice for Determining the Total Steviol Glycosides Content of Stevia Extracts and Stevia Sweetener Blends
  • EN Standards

    The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and publishing European standards. In the context of stevia-sweetened items testing, the relevant EN standards include:

  • EN 11822:2005 - Steviol glycosides - Determination of total steviol glycosides
  • EN ISO 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • TSE Standards

    The Turkish Standardization Institute (TSE) is responsible for developing and publishing national standards in Turkey. In the context of stevia-sweetened items testing, the relevant TSE standards include:

  • TSE ISO 11822:2005 - Steviol glycosides - Determination of total steviol glycosides
  • TSE EN ISO 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    Please see below for additional formatting requirements and restrictions:

  • Company name must always be Eurolab
  • Do not include any phone numbers, addresses, or contact details
  • Do not mention other laboratory names or competitors
  • Do not include specific pricing information
  • Focus on technical and professional content
  • The AOAC 2002.07 method is widely recognized as a reliable and accurate standard for determining total steviol glycosides in foods.

    ...

    The following are the test conditions and methodology for AOAC 2002.07 testing:

  • Sample preparation: Stevia sweetener samples are extracted using a solvent mixture.
  • Testing equipment: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system is used to separate, identify, and quantify steviol glycosides.
  • Test parameters: Optimal conditions for HPLC analysis include column temperature, flow rate, injection volume, and detection wavelength.
  • ...

    The AOAC 2002.07 method involves a series of steps to ensure accurate and reliable results:

    1. Sample preparation

    2. Extraction and purification

    3. HPLC analysis

    4. Data processing and calculation
