Escopo e aplicabilidade

This standard applies to irradiated pollen used for food and health products, specifically targeting pure and mixed pollen from corn, buckwheat, sorghum, sesame, rapeseed, sunflower, and Chinese milk vetch. It covers products treated with gamma rays or electron beams for preservation and mold prevention. It is mandatory for manufacturers processing these specific botanical sources. Note that this standard does not apply to non-irradiated pollen products.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard specifies the irradiation dose limits and principles for processing raw pollen. It mandates that the average total absorbed dose must not exceed the specified limit when using 60Co or 137Cs gamma rays or electron beams under 10MeV. Manufacturers must ensure uniform and accurate dosing during the irradiation process. It outlines strict sensory indicators, requiring the pollen to be free of impurities, off-odors, pests, and mold. Furthermore, the standard sets maximum allowable limits for critical physicochemical parameters, including moisture content and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic, as well as pesticide residues like BHC and DDT. To ensure food safety, the regulation establishes stringent microbiological limits. This includes maximum thresholds for total bacterial counts, coliforms, and molds, with a strict zero-tolerance policy for pathogenic bacteria. Compliance with these biological limits is essential for market access in China.

Métodos de ensaio

Testing procedures for this standard are conducted in accordance with established national methodologies. Physicochemical parameters are evaluated using the methods specified in GB 5009, while microbiological indicators are tested according to GB 4789. These standardized tests ensure accurate verification of heavy metal content and microbial safety.

Perguntas frequentes

What products are regulated under GB 14891.2-1994?

It regulates irradiated pure and mixed pollen sourced from specific plants including corn, buckwheat, and sunflower, treated for preservation purposes.

What is the maximum allowed irradiation dose for pollen under this standard?

The standard specifies an average total absorbed dose limit of 8kGy using gamma rays or electron beams below 10MeV. Exceeding this dose limit results in non-compliance.

Are pathogenic bacteria allowed in the final product?

No, the standard explicitly states that pathogenic bacteria (enteric and pathogenic cocci) must not be detected in the final irradiated pollen product.
