1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of furan in coffee
and coffee products with headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS),
see [1] and [2]. Coffee products in the scope of this method are extracts which have been spray-dried,
agglomerated or freeze-dried. The method has been validated in an interlaboratory
study via the analysis of naturally contaminated samples of spray-dried coffee, freeze-dried
coffee and ground roasted coffee ranging from 264 µg/kg to 2 840 µg/kg.
