Limits of Detection & Quantification
One blank sample (Infant Formula Powder Soy Based) was analysed on seven different days in
duplicate. The average fructan content (on a reconstituted basis) was determined to be 0.0025
g/100g with a standard deviation of 0.0016 g/100g. The limit of detection (LoD) and quantification
(LoQ) were estimated as:‐
LoD = 0.0025 + (3 × 0.0016) = 0.0073 g/100g
LoQ = 0.0025 + (10 × 0.0016) = 0.018 g/100g
This matches the requirements of the SMPR (LoQ ≤ 0.03 g/100g)
