Particle Size for Risk Assessment?
We support the EFSA approach to analyse the particle size of food additives
as pristine material, in the food matrix and in biological media
However, the guidance document is not consistent on page 21 in the
evaluation of agglomeration or aggregation state by two independent
methods
Standard EM can only measure the constituent particles size and not the
agglomeration or aggregation state
The second method must corelate with EM to be a suitable screening
method and the sample must be dispersed to a plateau
Nevertheless, for many products (Black Iron Oxides) EM doesn’t work and
alternatives must be possible
The Nano Define decision-flow scheme for dispersion criteria on page 79
should be adjusted by the dispersion technique and mandatory correlation
with EM
Constituent Particles

Mobile Particle Size for Risk Assessment
“Once a material is classified as nano according the constituent particle
size of the EU definition, the information on the mobile particle size under
realistic conditions (food matrix, biological media, etc.) is needed.
Dispersability has been reported as a founding base for the grouping of
the nano materials” (EChA, “Appendix R.6-1 for nano materials
applicable to the Guidance on QSARs and Grouping)
The OECD TG318 for aqua toxicity could be a good base for food
application, a defined dispersion energy according to NIST 1200 is
recommended and indicates the particle size in aqueous media
The same issues apply for food, what is the right dispersion energy,
what is the dispersion medium, degradation, dissolution…….
An initial approach for the determination of the E171 and E172 smallest
mobile particle size of the pristine material or in the food matrix is
presented on the next slides
Defined Dispersion Energy

Volume weighted Particle SizeStandardised dispersion energy

Particle size control of E171 and E172
by a standardised dispersion procedure:
Comparing production dispersion
energy density with laboratory scale
using NIST 1200 TG
The energy density of 240 J/ml is
three times higher than normally
applied in production wet milling of
TiO2
Full redispersion of agglomerates
without breaking up aggregates or
constituent particles
M. Stintz propose 270 J/ml for
synthetic amorphous silica (SAS),

Conclusion on Particle Size AnalysisE171/ E172
E171 is not a nano material according the EU definition
E172-Black Iron Oxides are not nano products
The dispersion criteria of the Nano-Define decision-flow scheme
shall be corrected for “constituent particles”
Realistic volume based particle sizes for toxicological testing can
be achieved by dispersion energies <300 J/ml
Using the NIST 1200 TG volume based particle sizes of different
products can be easily compared by different laboratories
Implementation of a dispersibility criterium in the risk assessment
CPS DC and Brookhaven XDC are suitable instruments to
measure mobile nano particles

According to DIN ISO 9277, samples are heated up to 180°C in 30 min and left at this
temperature for one hour before determination of the SSA under Nitrogen at 5
different pressure ratios: 0,1 – 0,15 – 0,2 – 0,25 – 0,3.
The Volume Specific Surface Area (VSSA) is calculated by multiplication of the SSA
with the gravity ()
VSSA = SSA x Equation 1
The Monodisperse Diameter of the Volume Specific Surface Area (dminVSSA) is
calculated for different particle shapes by the following equation
