| Remarks | Ethylene oxide resp. 2-chloroethanol were broadly discussed in the media over the last years. The application of ethylene oxide for plant protection and fumigation of food is prohibited within the EU. A maximum residue level of 0.1 mg/kg applies for ethylene oxide (sum of ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol expressed as ethylene oxide) in peppercorn (piper nigrum). The aim of the ring test is the correct quantification with respect to the comparability criterion (z-score ≤ |2|), and the correct quantification with respect to the trueness criterion (70-120 % recovery of the spiked level). A reporting limit of 0.01 mg/kg is required. Please find more information available on our website www.proof-acs.de | |||||||||
