Carry out migration test according to the intended use and service conditions of to-be-tested sample and the migration test methods and conditions specified in GB 5009.156 and GB 31604.1. After completion of the migration test, mix the simulants obtained from migration test sufficiently well for the next analysis.

5.1.5 Water-based, acidic and alcoholic food simulants standard working solution
Accurately pipet 0.00 mL, 0.03 mL, 0.05 mL, 0.08 mL, 0.1 mL and 0.5 mL acrylamide standard intermediate solutions into 10mL-volumetric flasks, then scale the volume with food simulant not in contact with the sample to obtain the standard working solutions with the concentrations of acrylamide of 0.00 mg/L, 0.03 mg/L, 0.05 mg/L, 0.08 mg/L, 0.10 mg/L and 0.50 mg/L respectively. In the same way, prepare acrylamide standard working solution with the same concentration series with corresponding water-based, acidic and alcoholic food simulants respectively.

5.2 Determination
5.2.1 Liquid chromatographic conditions
a) Chromatographic column: Venusil CIS ion-exclusion chromatographic column with length of 250 mm, inside diameter of 4.6 mm and particle size of 5 μm, or equivalent;
b) Mobile phase: sulfuric acid solution: acetonitrile (91+9);

e) Ultraviolet detector: with wavelength of 198 nm;
f) Sample injection amount: 20 μL.
5.2.2 Chromatographic determination
Inject the standard solution and sample solution in sequence for determination, plot the standard curve with the concentration of acrylamide in the standard working solution as x-axis (in mg/L or mg/kg) and the corresponding peak area of acrylamide as y-axis. Carry out the qualitative determination by retention time and quantitative determination by external standard method. Under the above chromatographic conditions, the retention time of acrylamide is 11.6 min, see Annex A for the chromatogram of acrylamide.
The regression parameter is calculated according to Formula (1):
y=a×x+b (1)
Where,
y——the peak area of acrylamide in food simulant standard working solution;
a——the slope of regression curve;
x——the concentration of acrylamide in the food simulant standard working solution, mg/L or mg/kg;
b——the intercept of regression curve.
