Abstract

The inclusion of a purification step by silver ion chromatography in the EN 1785 analytical protocol for 2-alkylcyclobutanones (validated by the European Committee for Standardization for the detection of ionizing radiation treatment) has considerably improved the quality of the chromatograms obtained, allowing the detection of food samples irradiated at very low doses (0.1 kGy) or irradiated ingredients included in low proportions in non irradiated foodstuffs. This analytical modification of the protocol EN 1785 ought thus to permit a very considerable extension of its current field of application.
