Study Monitors: AOAC International (SPIFAN) Official Method Board or delegated personnel. MLT Overview Participating laboratories were asked to set up the method (Appendix A), analyze two practice samples in duplicate, and report the results to the study directors. After successful analysis of the practice samples, study participants were asked to analyze 15 fortified and unfortified SPIFAN matrices in duplicate. The samples were split into two groups of 15 per the data reporting templates, and each group was analyzed on a separate day. Participants were asked to reconstitute all powder samples by diluting either 10 or 25 grams of powder to 100 or 225 grams respectively with water. Electronic excel templates for reporting sample weights and results were provided. After completion of the study, the data were analyzed using the AOAC International Interlaboratory Study Workbook for Blind (unpaired) Replicates, Version 2.1 to calculate repeatability standard deviation, s(r), reproducibility standard deviation, s(R), repeatability relative standard deviation, RSD(r), reproducibility relative standard deviation, RSD(R), and HORRAT value and to detect outliers.

Statistical Analysis of MLT Data Using the AOAC International Interlaboratory Study Workbook for Blind (unpaired) Replicates, Version 2.1 to analyze B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , and B 6 MLT data, statistical outliers were identified. There was a total of 21 lab/sample/analyte pairs of data that were removed when flagged. 17 of these came from lab 2 as one of their days of data had many anomalies. I did reach out to see if they could evaluate the data after finding contact information but have not received a response as of the date of this report. Lab 1 had significant deviations in Riboflavin standards. These deviations carried through to the samples and 6 of their 15 sample/analyte pairs were flagged and removed. There were 3 samples where both lab 1 and lab 2 were removed, resulting in 8 labs of data. Outside of Riboflavin for lab 1, and sporadic data from lab 2, no other statistical flags resulted in removal of data. General Comments In general, B vitamins are stable, but Thiamine is slightly sensitive to temperature, oxygen, humidity, and light. This study has taken over two years and there does seem to be a downward trend of thiamine data during this time. This may help explain why repeatability did not fail in any of the edited sample sets, but reproducibility was above the allowed 10% for 5 of the 14 fortified samples. There were several deviations to the MLT protocol during the MLT study, but none of these deviations appeared to impact final results. One laboratory did not analyze the practice samples. One laboratory used a sample size outside of the recommended weight. There were at least 2 variations of enzyme cocktail that were used.

Introduction AOAC SPIFAN released a call for methods for total vitamins B 1 , B 2 , B 3 pyrophosphate, and thiamine triphosphate in the SMPR. 1 Total B 2 phosphate, and flavin adenine dinucleotide. 2 Total B 3 nutritionals. Total vitamin B 1

, and B 6

in infant formula and related

is described as the sum of thiamine, thiamine monophosphate, thiamine

is defined as riboflavin, riboflavin-5’-

is defined as the sum of nicotinic acid and

nicotinamide. 3 Finally, total B 6 includes five forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxal-5’-phosphate, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxamine-5’-phosphate. 4 A single method for all four total vitamins was developed to meet the need.

The combined method was developed to measure thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxamine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, nicotinic acid, and nicotinamide directly. Separation was achieved with 20 mM ammonium formate mobile phase without ion pairing agent. Improved retention of thiamine has been previously demonstrated by increasing the mobile phase pH. 5 In fact, there is a striking improvement in water soluble vitamin retention under reverse phase conditions at moderate pH (5 -7). 6 Despite this improvement in retention, elution of phosphorylated compounds is notoriously difficult. 7 The phosphate moiety complexes with Fe 3+ and thus phosphate containing compounds tend to tail considerably with conventional chromatographic equipment due to stainless steel plumbing and column frits. 7 Further, the phosphorylated forms of these vitamins tend to be a small fraction of the free-form thus putting pressure on accuracy of quantitation. Instead of trying to overcome the challenges of direct analysis of the phosphorylated forms, this method includes an overnight, enzymatic digestion with acid phosphatase to hydrolyze the phosphate yielding the free vitamin forms. 5 Papain and α-amylase are also included in the enzymatic cocktail to digest protein and complex carbohydrate, respectively, thus aiding reduction in sample extract complexity. 8 Method performance was demonstrated in 14 SPIFAN II matrixes. Precision averaged 3.9%, and over-spike recovery was generally 95-105%. Both free and phosphorylated forms were over-spiked as part of the recovery experiment. The method was demonstrated to meet both SPIFAN SMPR requirements and Abbott Nutrition requirements.

A.

Principle This method facilitates simultaneous quantitation of four water-soluble vitamins (WSV) in infant formula and related nutritional products, including all SPIFAN SMPR relevant forms of vitamins B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , and B 6 . Samples are prepared by enzymatic digestion with papain and α-amylase to hydrolyze protein and complex carbohydrate and acid phosphatase to free phosphorylated vitamin forms. Stable-isotope labeled internal standards are incorporated into the sample preparation to correct for variability in both the sample preparation and instrument response. A series of six mixed working standard solutions spanning two orders of magnitude in vitamin concentration are used to generate calibration curves based on the peak response ratio of the analyte to its stable-isotope labeled internal standard. Prepared samples and working standard solutions are injected onto ultra-high pressure liquid chromatograph (UPLC) interfaced to a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS/MS) for analysis. The MS/MS is configured to monitor parent-daughter (precursor-fragment) ion pairs for each analyte and internal standard. This reaction forms the basis for method selectivity. Analytes are quantified by least squares regression using the response ratio of the analyte to its internal standard. B. Apparatus and Materials 1. Control Sample: NIST SRM 1849a, or current lot.

Add room temperature laboratory water to bring the total reconstituted sample weight (to include the product weight) to 100 ± 2 g. Record the weight to at least 4 significant figures. This is the reconstitution weight. Carefully add a stir bar so as not to splash the liquid from the beaker/cup and place it onto a stir plate. Set the stir plate to stir the sample as fast as possible without causing the sample to splatter or froth. Powder samples should stir for at least 10 minutes but not more than 30 minutes. b) For reconstituted powders and liquid products - using a tarred, 50 mL centrifuge tube, weigh the appropriate sample amount (1.000 ± 0.100 g for infant formula, 0.500 ± 0.050 g for pediatric formulas and the NIST SRM, and 0.250 ± 0.050 g for adult nutritionals). Record the weight to 0.0001 g. This is the sample weight. Add 100 µL of the internal standard mixture (ISSM) via positive-displacement pipette. Vortex to mix.
