National food safety standard - Determination of Vitamin D

in foods

1 Scope

This Standard specifies methods for the determination of vitamin D in foods.

Method 1 - Normal phase chromatography purification - reversed-phase liquid

chromatography applies to the determination of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 in foods

containing ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol.

Method 2 - Online column switching - reversed-phase liquid chromatography applies

to the determination of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 in foods.

Method 3 - Liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry applies to the

determination of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 in foods.

Method 1 - Normal phase chromatography purification - reversed-phase liquid

chromatography.

2 Principle

After the sample is saponified with an ethanol solution of potassium hydroxide, purified

and concentrated by the liquid-liquid extraction method, use a normal-phase high-

performance liquid chromatograph to separate vitamin D from other impurities through

a silica gel column. After concentrating the collected fractions, separate vitamin D2 and

vitamin D3 through a reverse-phase chromatography column. Detect with a UV detector

and use the internal standard method (or external standard method) for quantification.

When the sample does not contain vitamin D2, use vitamin D2 as the internal standard

to determine vitamin D3; when the sample does not contain vitamin D3, use vitamin D3

as the internal standard to determine vitamin D2.Otherwise, use the external standard

method for determination.

5 Analysis steps

5.1 Sample pretreatment

UV irradiation shall be avoided during processing.

5.1.1 Sample preparation

After a certain number of samples are divided, crushed and homogenized as required,

store them in sample bags, protected from light and refrigerated, and measure as soon

as possible.

5.1.1.3 Other foods

Weigh 5 g ~ 20 g (m, accurate to 0.01 g) of the homogenized solid sample or 20 g ~ 50

g (m, accurate to 0.01 g) of the liquid sample into a 150 mL flat-bottomed flask. For

solid samples, add 20 mL ~ 30 mL of warm water (40 °C ~ 45 °C); mix well.

5.1.2 Sample saponification
5.1.3 Sample extraction and concentration
5.1.3.1 Sample extraction

Use 30 mL of water to transfer the above saponification solution into a 250 mL

separatory funnel; add 50 mL of petroleum ether; shake and extract for 5 minutes;

transfer the lower solution to another 250 mL separatory funnel; add 50 mL of

petroleum ether and repeat the extraction 1 to 2 times; combine the petroleum ether

layer. Use about 150 mL of water to wash the petroleum ether layer; remove the lower

water phase; repeat washing at least 3 times until the petroleum ether layer is washed

to neutral (a pH test paper universal can be used to detect the lower solution).

5.1.3.2 Sample concentration

Slowly flow the washed petroleum ether layer through a glass chromatography column

pre-filled with anhydrous sodium sulfate powder with a thickness of 3 cm ~ 5 cm; filter

it into a 250 mL rotary evaporating flask or a nitrogen blowing concentration tube; use

15 mL of petroleum ether to rinse the separatory funnel and the anhydrous sodium

sulfate in the glass chromatography column twice; combine them into an evaporating

flask or a nitrogen blowing concentration tube; connect them to a rotary evaporator or

nitrogen blowing concentrator, and concentrate them by rotary evaporation or nitrogen

blowing in a 40 °C water bath;

5.2 Apparatus reference conditions

5.2.1 Purification of vitamin D test solution
5.2.2 Reversed-phase liquid chromatography reference conditions

The reference conditions for reversed-phase liquid chromatography are as follows.

5.3 Preparation of standard curve

Inject the standard series of working solutions into the reversed-phase liquid

chromatograph respectively. For the internal standard method, use the mass ratio of

vitamin D2 (or vitamin D3) in the standard series of working solutions to its

corresponding internal standard as the abscissa, and the peak area ratio of vitamin D2

(or vitamin D3) to its corresponding internal standard as the ordinate to draw the

standard curve.

5.4 Determination of sample solution

5.4.1 Qualitative analysis

Inject the sample solution into the liquid chromatograph for measurement. Under the

same test conditions, the retention time of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 in the sample

solution shall deviate by no more than +/-2.5% compared with the corresponding

retention time in the standard working solution.

5.5 Blank test

Without weighing the sample, follow the saponification, extraction and concentration

analysis steps of the sample, it shall not contain substances that interfere with the

components to be tested. The internal standard method requires sample testing without

adding internal standard to confirm the feasibility of adding internal standard.

6 Expression of analysis results

The content of vitamin D2 (or vitamin D3) in the sample is calculated according to

Formula (2) and Formula (3) by the internal standard method, and according to Formula

(4) by the external standard method.

7 Precision

The absolute difference of 2 independent test results obtained under repeatability cannot

exceed 15% of the arithmetic mean value.

8 Others

When the sampling volume of the solid sample is 10.00 g and the normal-phase

injection solution is fixed to a volume of 2 mL, the detection limit of vitamin D2 and

vitamin D3 is 0.6 µg/100 g, and the quantitation-limit is 2 µg/100 g.

9 Principle

After the sample is saponified with potassium hydroxide ethanol solution, purified and

concentrated by liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction, and vitamin D is

separated from other impurities through the C8 column by the one-dimensional liquid

chromatography, the column switching valve is transferred to the two-dimensional

liquid chromatography, and vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are separated through the C18

column, detect by the ultraviolet detector, and quantify by the internal standard method

(or external standard method). When the sample does not contain vitamin D2, use

vitamin D2 as the internal standard to determine vitamin D3; when the sample does not

contain vitamin D3, use vitamin D3 as the internal standard to determine vitamin D2.

Otherwise, use the external standard method for determination.
