In accordance with the notes to Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005note and for the purposes of applying that Annex, the ‘Data obtained from the analysis of the goods’ set out in column 3 shall be obtained using the methods, procedures and formulae referred to in this Article:
1.SugarsHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) shall be used for the individual determination of sugars.
(a)S + (2F) × 0,95,if the glucose content is not less than the fructose content,or
(b)S + (G + F) × 0,95,if the glucose content is less than the fructose content
where:Sis the sucrose content determined by HPLC, Fis the fructose content determined by HPLC, Gis the glucose content determined by HPLC,Where the presence of a lactose hydrolysate is declared and/or quantities of lactose and galactose are detected, a glucose content, equivalent to the galactose content (determined by HPLC), shall be deducted from the glucose (G) content before any other calculation is made.
(a)G – F,where the glucose content is more than the fructose content
(b)0 (Zero),where the glucose content is equal to or less than the fructose content.
Where the presence of a lactose hydrolysate is declared and/or quantities of lactose and galactose are detected, a glucose content, equivalent to the galactose content (determined by HPLC), shall be deducted from the glucose (G) content before any other calculation is made.
2.Starch (or dextrin)(dextrin shall be expressed as starch)
1.For all CN codes other than CN codes 35051010, 35051090, 35052010 to 35052090 and 38091010 to 38091090, the starch (or dextrin) content referred to in column 3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 shall be calculated using the formula:(Z – G) × 0,9,whereZis the glucose content determined by the method described in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 900/2008note; Gis the glucose content before enzymatic treatment, determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
2.For CN codes 35051010, 35051090, 35052010 to 35052090 and 38091010 to 38091090, the starch (or dextrin) content shall be determined by the method set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 900/2008.
3.Milk fat contentFor the purposes of determining the milk fat content, a method based on extraction with light petroleum, preceded by hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid and followed by gas chromatography of the methyl esters of the fatty acids, shall be used. If the presence of milk fats is detected, the percentage proportion thereof shall be calculated by multiplying the percentage concentration of methyl butyrate by 25, multiplying the product by the total percentage fat content by weight of the goods and dividing by 100.
