Comprehensive Guide to EN 15792 Detection of Mycotoxins in Tomato Puree Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab: Expertise in Laboratory Testing and Analysis

EN 15792 is a European standard that outlines the requirements for the detection of mycotoxins in tomato puree. This standard is developed and published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and is widely adopted across Europe.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO/TS 17393:2014 - Mycotoxin analysis - Performance of method validation studies

  • ASTM E2539-14 - Standard Practice for Conducting Laboratory Testing to Determine Compliance with Regulatory Requirements

  • EN 15592:2008 - Foodstuffs - Determination of mycotoxins by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

  • TSE 1313:2012 - Turkish Standard for the Detection of Mycotoxins in Tomato Puree

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The detection of mycotoxins in tomato puree is regulated by various international, national, and regional authorities. In Europe, the European Commissions Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets food safety standards, while the European Unions Regulation 1881/2006 sets maximum limits for mycotoxins in foodstuffs.

    International and National Standards

    EN 15792 is part of a broader international effort to harmonize testing methods for mycotoxin detection. The standard is applicable to tomato puree manufacturers, importers, and exporters across Europe.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The CEN is responsible for developing and publishing European standards, including EN 15792. Other standard development organizations involved in the creation of this standard include ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials).

    How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect new scientific knowledge, technological advancements, or regulatory changes.

    Standard Numbers and Their Scope

    EN 15792:2019 - Detection of mycotoxins in tomato puree by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

    Scope:

  • This standard applies to the detection of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2, fumonisins B1 and B2, ochratoxin A, patulin, and zearalenone in tomato puree.

  • The standard covers laboratory testing services for manufacturers, importers, and exporters.

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with EN 15792 is mandatory for businesses operating within the European Union that export or supply tomato puree products to EU member states.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting EN 15792 Detection of Mycotoxins in Tomato Puree Testing

    2. Testing Equipment and Instruments Used

    High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems with mass spectrometry (MS) detection

    Sample preparation equipment, including homogenizers and centrifuges

    3. Measurement and Analysis Methods

    EN 15792 specifies the following measurement and analysis methods:

  • Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

  • Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

    • Data Collection and Recording Procedures

    Test results are recorded in a standardized format, including:

  • Sample identification

  • Test parameters

  • Detection limits

  • Concentrations of mycotoxins detected

    • Calibration and Validation Procedures

    EN 15792 requires calibration and validation procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.
