Frequently Asked Questions

WS AGRO2CIRCULAR is a Technical Committee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Guidelines for characterization of extracts for the recycling/upcycling of organic agrifood wastes" and is responsible for: The planned workshop intends to specify the methodologies for the analysis of aqueous natural antioxidant extracts obtained from wastes and by-products of the agri-food industry. These methodologies encompass the determination of total polyphenols content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity assessment through colorimetric assays employing various techniques. The method for quantifying total polyphenol content involves the use of the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, while the total flavonoid content is determined using the aluminium chloride method. Multiple methods for evaluating antioxidant activity are described, including ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays. The planned document is applicable to aqueous extracts obtained from agri-food waste and by-products, specifically those originated from vegetables and fruits. Depending on the specific matrix and composition of the extract, it may be necessary to employ different methods for characterizing these extracts. This committee has published 0 standards.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
