1 Scope

This document specifies methods for the determination of acrylamide in coffee and coffee products by extraction with water, clean-up by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (HPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS) after derivatization. The methods were validated in a validation study for roasted coffee, soluble coffee, coffee substitutes and coffee products with ranges from 53 μg/kg to 612,1 μg/kg.
