This document, part 10 of EN 13031, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of acrylamide in the food simulants water, 3% w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15% v/v aqueous ethanol and fat simulant. The level of acrylamide monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of acrylamide/kg of food simulant. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of acrylamide in approximate analyte concentration range of 0,01 mg/kg to 0,1 mg/kg of food simulants.

This method should also be applicable to other fat simulants.

NOTE The suitability of the fat simulant should be assessed prior to setting up migration tests - it may be found necessary to use sunflower oil or a a mixture of synthetic triglycerides if unacceptable interferences are found with olive oil.
