Scope

This European standard specifies a laboratory method for the determination of the carotenoid content in microalgae. The method is based on the development of the chlorophyll a standard, which resulted in prEN 18034. This method has been validated for the microalgae species Nannochloropsis and Phaodactlylum. This standard is only validated for fucoxanthin, beta carotene and lutein content, but could be used for other carotenoids as well. Given small adaptations to be able to measure smaller concentrations, this method could also be used for macro algae. This standard is developed in CEN/TC 454/WG 6 Product test methods.
