Strategy <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Development <strong>of</strong> BfR methods<br />

General Objectives<br />

to determine exclusively 3-<strong>MCPD</strong> FAE<br />

to <strong>of</strong>fer a sufficient robustness <strong>for</strong> adoption in routine labs<br />

Direct Method versus Indirect Method? Method<br />

Direct methods like LC-MS/MS <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>esters</strong><br />

- guarant high specificity<br />

- require <strong>the</strong> availability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> complete „set <strong>of</strong> standard materials“<br />

- require very low LOD/LOQ <strong>for</strong> each single 3-<strong>MCPD</strong> FAE<br />

- <strong>of</strong>fer a limited robustness<br />

Indirect methods like GC-MS <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> free 3-<strong>MCPD</strong><br />

- <strong>of</strong>fer an increased robustness<br />

- involve hydrolysis and derivatization<br />

- might induce chemical modifications <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> analyte<br />

Final Decision <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> indirect methods<br />

However, with <strong>the</strong> additional obligation that several methods should be<br />

tested applying different types <strong>of</strong> hydrolysis.<br />
