This European Standard specifies an isotopic method to control the authenticity of vinegar. This method is applicable on acetic acid of vinegar (from cider, alcohol, wine, etc.) in order to characterise the botanical origin of acetic acid and to detect adulterations of vinegar using synthetic acetic acid or acetic acid from not allowed origin (together with the method described in EN 16466-1). The isotopic analysis of the extracted acetic acid by 13C-IRMS is based on a similar method already normalised for wine analysis.

This European Standard specifies an isotopic method to control the authenticity of vinegar. This method is applicable on acetic acid of vinegar (from wine, cider, agricultural alcohol, etc.) in order to characterise the botanical origin of acetic acid and to detect adulterations of vinegar using synthetic acetic acid or acetic acid from a non-allowed origin (together with the method described in EN 16466-2). The isotopic analysis of the extracted acetic acid by 2H-NMR is based on a similar method already normalised for wine analysis. This European Standard is not applicable to complex matrices made with vinegar as an ingredient, such as balsamic vinegar.

A test portion is dissolved in water and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The carbon dioxide is eliminated by heating the solution. The lead is complexed and extracted with a solution of diethylammonium diethyldithiocarbamate in xylene. The solution is aspirated into an acetylene-air flame. The absorption of the 217 nm line or, alternatively, of the 283.3 nm line emitted by a lead hollow-cathode lamp is measured. The method is applicable to products containing more than 0.1 mg/kg of lead.
