Specifies methods for the determination of monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in the food simulants; water, 3% (w/v) acetic acid, 15% (v/v) ethanol and olive oil and other fatty food simulants, simulants D.

This part of this European Standard specifies methods for the determination of monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in the food simulants; water, 3 % w/v acetic acid, 15 % v/v ethanol and olive oil and other fatty food simulants, simulants D, e.g. a mixture of synthetic triglycerides or sunflower oil or corn oil. The methods are capable of determining monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in food simulants separately, or combined, at the specific migration limit SML (T) of 30 mg/kg. NOTE This method was developed for the determination of monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol in 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol, as required by the regulations in force at the time the development work was carried out. However, this method, developed for 15 (v/v) aqueous ethanol, should be applicable to the determination in 10 (v/v) aqueous ethanol.
