BS ISO 20634:2015 pdf free.Infant formula and adult nutritionals – Determination of vitamin B12 by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).
BS ISO 20634 specifies a method for the quantitative determination of vitamin B12 in infant and adult formula (powders, ready-to-feed liquids and liquid concentrates) by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography.
2 Terms and delinitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1 vitamin B12 cyanocobalamin and other cobalt-containing corrinoids with vitamin B12 biological activity, such as aquocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, converted to cyanocobalamin
2.2 adult nutritional nutritionally complete, specially formulated food, consumed in liquid form, which may constitute the sole source of nourishment, made from any combination of milk, soy, rice, whey, hydrolysed protein, starch and amino acids, with and without intact protein
2.3 Infant formula breast-milk substitute specially manufactured to satisfy, by itself, the nutritional requirements of infants during the first months of life up to the introduction of appropriate complementary feeding [SOURCE: Codex Standard 72-1981]
3 Principle
Cyanocobalamin and other cobalt-containing corrinoids are extracted from the sample using sodium acetate buffer (pH = 45) and the latter converted to cyanocobalamin using potassium cyanide at 105 °C. Extracts are purified and concentrated with C8 or C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and analysed with size-exclusion and reversed-phase chromatography. Determination of vitamin B12 is made by liquid chromatography with visible detection at 550 nm,
4 Reagents and materials
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
