What is BS EN 17252 about?
BS EN 17252 is an international standard on the determination of phomopsin in foodstuffs.
BS EN 17252 specifies a procedure for the determination of phomopsin A in lupin seeds and lupin derived products based on liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Several phomopsins exist, i.e., phomopsin A, B, C and D, the method only deals with the quantitative measurement of phomopsin A.
The method specified by BS EN 17252 is validated for phomopsin A in naturally contaminated lupin seeds, lupin flour and crisp bread at levels ranging from 5 microgram /kg to 60 microgram /kg.
