ISO 12966-2 Fatty Acid Residue Analysis in Food Additives: Eurolabs Testing Service

ISO 12966-2 is an international standard for fatty acid residue analysis in food additives, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard provides a framework for the testing of fatty acid residues in food additives to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and consumer safety. The standard is widely adopted across industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 12966-2 is governed by various national and international regulations. In the European Union, for example, the use of food additives is regulated by the Food Additives Regulation (EC) No. 1333/2008. Similarly, in the United States, the FDA regulates the use of food additives through the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

International and National Standards

ISO 12966-2 is a part of the ISO 12966 series, which provides guidelines for fatty acid residue analysis in various matrices. The standard is also harmonized with other international standards, such as EN 12896 (European Standard) and ASTM E 1899 (American Society for Testing and Materials). National standards, such as those published by TSE (Turkish Standards Institution), may also apply.

Standard Development Organizations

The ISO 12966 series is developed by Technical Committee TC 34 (Food products), which is responsible for the development of standards related to food products. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are other notable standard development organizations involved in the development of standards related to fatty acid residue analysis.

Standard Evolution

Standards, including ISO 12966-2, evolve over time as new technologies and methodologies become available. The standard is reviewed and updated regularly to ensure it remains relevant and effective in meeting regulatory requirements. For example, the latest revision of ISO 12966-2 (2019) includes updates on sample preparation and measurement methods.

Standard Numbers and Scope

The ISO 12966 series consists of several standards, including:

  • ISO 12966-1: Fatty acid residue analysis in food additives - General principles

  • ISO 12966-2: Fatty acid residue analysis in food additives - Method using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

  • ISO 12966-3: Fatty acid residue analysis in food additives - Method using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS)

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Companies operating in industries that use food additives must comply with relevant standards, including ISO 12966-2. Compliance requirements may vary depending on the country or region of operation.

    Why This Test is Needed

    ISO 12966-2 fatty acid residue analysis is essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and consumer safety. Food additives containing residual amounts of fatty acids can pose health risks to consumers, particularly those with sensitivities or allergies.

    Business and Technical Reasons

    The business and technical reasons for conducting ISO 12966-2 testing are multifaceted:

  • Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Prevents product recalls due to non-compliance

  • Protects consumer safety and well-being

  • Maintains brand reputation and customer trust

  • Supports innovation and research development

    • Consequences of Not Performing This Test

    Not performing ISO 12966-2 testing can result in severe consequences, including:

  • Product recalls and financial losses

  • Damage to brand reputation and customer trust

  • Non-compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Safety risks to consumers

    • Industries and Sectors That Require This Testing

    The following industries and sectors require ISO 12966-2 testing:

  • Food industry (food additives, flavorings, and sweeteners)

  • Pharmaceutical industry (excipients and inactive ingredients)

  • Cosmetics industry (personal care products)

    • ---

    Step-by-Step Explanation of the Test

    The ISO 12966-2 test involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation

    2. Measurement using GC-MS or LC-MS

    3. Data analysis and interpretation

    Testing Equipment and Instruments Used

  • Gas chromatograph (GC) with mass spectrometer (MS)

  • Liquid chromatograph (LC) with MS

  • Automated sample preparation equipment (e.g., automated solvent extraction)

    • Testing Environment Requirements

    The testing environment must meet specific requirements, including:

  • Temperature control (-20C to 30C)

  • Humidity control (10 to 90)

  • Air filtration and ventilation

    • ---

    How Test Results Are Documented and Reported

    Test results are documented and reported in accordance with ISO 12966-2 requirements, including:

  • Sample identification and labeling

  • Measurement data and calibration information

  • Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ)

  • Data analysis and interpretation

    • Data Analysis and Interpretation

    Results are analyzed using statistical software to determine the presence or absence of fatty acid residues. The LOD and LOQ are used to evaluate the reliability of the results.
