DIN EN 13751:2009-11 EN 13751:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the detection of irradiated foods using photostimulated luminescence (PSL). The

18、 technique described here comprises an initial measurement of PSL intensity which may be used for screening purposes, and a calibration method to determine the PSL sensitivity to assist classification. It is necessary to confirm a positive screening result using calibrated PSL or another standardise

19、d (e.g. EN 1784 to EN 1788) or validated method. The method has been successfully tested in interlaboratory trials using shellfish and herbs, spices and seasonings 1. From other studies it may be concluded that the method is applicable to a large variety of foods 2, 3, 4. 2 Terms and definitions For

20、 the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 photostimulated luminescence PSL radiation specific phenomenon resulting from energy stored by trapped charge carriers NOTE Release of this stored energy by optical stimulation can result in a detectable luminescence sign

22、 after initial PSL measurement 2.5 thresholds values of PSL intensity used for classification. In screening mode, two thresholds, a lower threshold (T1) and an upper threshold (T2) are used to classify the sample 2.6 negative PSL result PSL intensity below the lower threshold (less than T1) 2.7 inte

25、nation of the chamber 3 Principle 3.1 General Mineral debris, typically silicates or bioinorganic materials such as calcite which originate from shells or exoskeletons, or hydroxyapatite from bones or teeth, can be found on most foods. These materials store energy in charge carriers trapped at struc

26、tural, interstitial or impurity sites, when exposed to ionising radiation. Excitation spectroscopy has shown that optical stimulation of minerals releases charge carriers 5, 6, 7. It has subsequently been shown that the same spectra can be obtained from whole herb and spice samples and other foods u

27、sing photostimulation 2, 8, 9. PSL measurements do not destroy the sample, therefore whole samples, or other mixtures of organic and inorganic material, can be measured repeatedly. PSL signals, however, decrease if the same sample is measured repeatedly. The methodology comprises screening (initial)

28、 PSL measurements to establish the status of the sample (see 2.3) and an optional second measurement following a calibration radiation dose to determine the PSL sensitivity of the sample (see 2.4). 3.2 Screening PSL For screening (see 2.3) the signal levels are compared with two thresholds (see 2.5)

29、. The majority of irradiated samples produce a strong signal above the upper threshold level. Signals below the lower threshold suggest that the sample has not been irradiated. Signal levels between the two thresholds, intermediate signals, show that further investigations are necessary. The use of

30、thresholds produces an effective screening method which can also be backed up by calibration, by TL as described in EN 1788 or another validated method, e.g. 3, 4, 8. 3.3 Calibrated PSL For calibration, the sample is exposed to a defined radiation dose after the initial PSL measurement, and then re-

31、measured. Irradiated samples show only a small increase in PSL after this radiation exposure, whereas unirradiated samples usually show a substantial increase in PSL signal after irradiation.

For instrumental set-up, see 7.4. NOTE For the interlaboratory tests, the SURRC

33、 PPSL system has been used. 5.2 Disposable Petri-dishes NOTE For the interlaboratory tests, 5 cm Petri-dishes have been used. 5.3 Radiation source, capable of irradiating samples with a defined radiation dose before measurement of calibrated PSL. In the interlaboratory tests on shellfish and herbs,

34、spices and their mixtures 1, sources delivering 60Co-rays have been employed at a fixed radiation dose of 1 kGy. Alternative sources may be used providing they have been found satisfactory.

35、duster (optional) 6 Sampling technique Whenever possible, the sample is taken from a light-protected position in the food consignment, since the PSL intensity decreases on exposure to light. Before analysis, samples should be protected against light exposure. Store them in the dark. 1)Electrolube SC

37、alent products may be used if they can be shown to lead to equivalent results.DIN EN 13751:2009-11 EN 13751:2009 (E) 7 7 Procedure 7.1 General All dispensing and handling of samples should be carried out under subdued lighting whenever possible. Samples are dispensed into disposable Petri-dishes and

38、 introduced to the system. Samples should be handled with care to avoid cross-contamination during dispensing. It is recommended that samples are dispensed individually, under a laminar flow cabinet (5.5), and fresh tissue is placed on the bench for each sample. The Petri-dish should be covered with

39、 a lid to reduce the possibility of contamination. 7.2 Preparation of herb, spice and seasoning samples Samples are dispensed into clean Petri-dishes, in duplicate. If these test samples lead to inconsistent classifications, a further four aliquots shall be dispensed and classification based on the

40、highest two results. Some samples can require a minimum of preparation; e.g. vanilla pods may need to be cut to fit the dish and wrappings should be removed. Samples can either be dispensed in a thick layer within the Petri-dish or in a thin layer, applied to a dish already sprayed with silicone gre

41、ase (4.1) to fix the sample. Thicker layer samples are less likely to be affected by bleaching; subsurface minerals can be exposed by gentle agitation. NOTE Thin layer samples can also be dispensed into planchets or other shallow containers suitable for irradiation with 90Sr or other sources. If a g

42、amma source is used for calibration either dispensing method is suitable. 7.3 Preparation of shellfish 7.3.1 General PSL analysis can be conducted using whole samples including shell, shelled whole samples and dissected intestines or minerals extracted by flushing with water (4.2). If enough sample

43、material is available, it is recommended that samples be divided into at least six portions, i.e. six Petri-dishes. 7.3.2 Whole samples Whole samples including shell can be placed as received in the Petri-dish. In some cases it can be necessary to cut the shellfish to fit the Petri-dish. If the inte

44、stinal tract is visible, it is preferable to place this uppermost. 7.3.3 Shelled whole samples Shelled whole samples can be placed whole in the Petri-dish, again with the intestinal tract facing upwards, using as many individual shellfish as will fit in the Petri-dish. 7.3.4 Shellfish intestines She

45、llfish intestines can be found as a thin dark tube on the convex side of prawns or shrimps, and in the interiors of molluscs. Using a scalpel, slice the flesh open and with tweezers remove the intestinal tract. Repeat this technique on several samples of shellfish (recommended: 6 intestines per Petr

46、i-dish). 7.4 Instrumental Set-Up This section describes the set-up of the SURRC PPSL system, as an example. DIN EN 13751:2009-11 EN 13751:2009 (E) 8 The system is used in conjunction with a computer for setting individual measurement parameters (cycle time, thresholds and data recording conditions)

47、for recording quantitative photon counts. NOTE 1 The system can be used in a stand-alone mode, with simple push button controls, for preliminary measurements. However, the validated procedures which are the subject of this standard apply only to quantitative measurements performed in conjunction wit

48、h a computer. The instrumental set-up procedure includes checks on dark count (2.9) and light count (2.10), establishing measurement parameters and checks on irradiated and unirradiated standard materials. For herbs and spices tested in the interlaboratory trial 1, the threshold settings of T1= 700

49、counts/60 s and T2= 5 000 counts/60 s have been shown to be satisfactory. These thresholds refer to the use of 5 cm Petri-dishes. For shellfish tested in the interlaboratory trial 1, the threshold settings of T1= 1 000 counts/60 s and T2= 4 000 counts/60 s have been shown to be satisfactory. NOTE 2 The threshold levels are based on results of interlaboratory tests and further experience. They might need to be adjusted in dependence of the PSL sensitivity of the samples, the sensitivity of the instrument and the surface area of the
