# Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3914/88 of 14 December 1988 on the analytical procedures to be used in determining the dry matter, fatty matter and sugar content of products falling within CN code 1905 90 30

## Article 1 {#art_1}

The sugars content (sum of sucrose, fructose, glucose, lactose and maltose content), fat content and dry matter content of products falling within CN code 1905 90 30 shall be determined by means of the procedures set out below:
— sugars content (sum of sucrose, fructose, glucose, lactose and maltose content): to be determined by HPLC,
— fatty matter content: to be determined after hydrolysis by hydrochloric acid; substances which can be extracted with petroleum ether after that hydrolysis shall be regarded as fatty matter,
— dry matter content: to be determined by drying a representative sample to constant mass at 103 ± 2 oC.

## Article 2 {#art_2}

Regulation (EEC) No 2093/84 is hereby repealed.

## Article 3 {#art_3}

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
