cereulide

Structural identity

Require connectivity and stereochemistry when reconciling cereulide identifiers.

1. Which verified structural representation defines cereulide in this record? definition
2. Which authoritative records establish that the supplied identifiers denote that same structure? provenance

Parent versus related signal

Record whether the reported result is specific to native cereulide or aggregates other signals.

1. Does the result identify native cereulide, a labelled reference, or an unresolved mixture? boundary
2. What evidence excludes valinomycin or related cereulide compounds from the assigned signal? measurement

Amount and basis

Bind concentration and purity to the material actually measured.

1. Is cereulide present as isolated material, a solution, or an analyte within a named matrix? definition
2. What concentration or purity was measured, on which basis, and with what uncertainty? measurement

Traceable material

Connect a specimen to its lot, custody history, and supporting documentation.

1. Which sample or reference lot and certificate support this cereulide record? provenance
2. Does the documentation establish analyte identity and assigned amount separately from any claimed biological origin? boundary

Reference-matched detection

FDA describes LC-MS/MS determination using labelled cereulide and identity checks. [FDA analytical method](https://www.fda.gov/food/laboratory-methods-food/bam-quantitative-analysis-cereulide-food-products)

1. Which chromatographic and mass-spectral acceptance criteria did this sample meet? measurement
2. Which reference material and method version support the identification? provenance

Matrix-qualified result

Require matrix applicability, calibration evidence, reporting limits, and uncertainty.

1. What recovery, matrix-effect, and calibration evidence supports this result in this matrix? measurement
2. Do the detection and quantification limits justify the reported determination state? measurement
3. Is confirmation or repeat analysis required before the result supports a decision? action

Conditional resistance

Cereulide resists heat, acid, and digestive enzymes; this does not specify unlimited stability. [FDA cereulide overview](https://www.fda.gov/food/laboratory-methods-food/bam-quantitative-analysis-cereulide-food-products)

1. Which temperature, duration, pH, and matrix describe the claimed persistence or degradation? measurement
2. Was residual cereulide measured, or was its absence inferred from a treatment? boundary

Storage-qualified use

Evaluate storage and expiry evidence for the actual cereulide preparation.

1. Which documented storage conditions and integrity checks apply to this lot and solvent or matrix? provenance
2. Does an excursion or expired assignment require requalification before analytical use? action

Effect and exposure

Cereulide is an emetic toxin with mitochondrial ionophore activity. [FDA hazard description](https://www.fda.gov/food/laboratory-methods-food/bam-quantitative-analysis-cereulide-food-products)

1. Which endpoint, exposure route, and test population support the hazard claim? provenance
2. What additional intake information is needed to relate the measured concentration to exposure? measurement
3. Is a biological-effect result being incorrectly treated as an analyte-specific concentration? boundary

Evidence-based disposition

Require a sourced, applicable criterion before assigning acceptance, handling, or disposal status.

1. Which current jurisdictional criterion or material-specific safety document applies? provenance
2. What authorized review or control action follows from this result and its uncertainty? action
3. Does the proposed decision rely only on bacterial absence or heating instead of toxin evidence? boundary
