Full article: Detection of dibutyl phthalate in food samples
Because phthalate plasticisers cause great harm to the human body, they are prohibited from use in any food, medicine or health care products. As one of the common phthalate plasticiser, a method is urgently needed to detect the content of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in food samples.
Ecological Risk Assessment of Phthalate Esters (DBP and DEHP
As a new type of pollutant, phthalate esters (PAEs) are common organic compounds in industrial production and daily life, which are widely detected in surface water environment. Among them, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) have attracted much attention due to their harmful effects on aquatic life such as endocrine disrupting effects. In this study, the toxicity
Dibutyl phthalate contamination accelerates the uptake and
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a typical persistent organic pollutant with a high load in the agricultural soils of vegetable crops. Currently, studies on the toxicity of DBP in vegetable crops are limited. Therefore, in this study, pakchoi (Brassica campestris L.), a typical vegetable crop, was used to evaluate the toxic effects of DBP. Pakchoi

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) DBP was associated with an anti-androgenic effect in a human cell line as it inhibited the binding of dihydrotestosterone to the androgen receptor with an IC 50 of 74 M (Christen et al. 2010). DBP was devoid of oestrogenic activity in vitro (Lee et al. 2012).
- What is dibutyl phthalate (DBP)?
- Dibutyl phthalate [DBP] belongs to dialkyl phthalate group. It is a petrochemical which is mostly used as plasticizer or sometimes as a solvent in industries. DBP can be naturally isolated from plants, marine algae, bacteria, and fungi.
- Is dibutyl phthlate a toxic phthalate?
- Dibutyl phthlate ester was the most toxic of the phthalates tested. The toxic order of 3 of the esters was dibutyl phthalate greater than diethyl phthalate greater than dimethyl phthalate.

- Can dibutyl phthalate be quantified?
- Dibutyl phthalate was identified, not quantified, in a sample of lichen (Hypogymnia physodes) and moss (Hylocomium splendens) collected from Minnesund, Norway the summer of 1979 (1).
- What temperature does dibutyl phthalate (DBP) autoignite?
- autoignition temp. n20/D 1.492 (lit.) 340 °C (lit.) −35 °C (lit.) 1.043 g/mL at 25 °C (lit.) Looking for similar products?

- What is the biodegradation rate of dibutyl phthalate?
- Dibutyl phthalate, present at 100 mg/L, had a biodegradation rate of 0.17/hour at 25 °C using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L taken from Little Miami wastewater treatment plant in Cincinnati, OH (9).
- What products contain dibutyl phthalate?
- Dibutyl phthalate was detected in pillow protector, dryer sheet, tub and tile cleaner, bar soap, shaving cream and lip stick samples at >1-100 ug/g; in polish/wax samples at >100-1000 ug/g; 213 commercial products representing 50 product types were analyzed (10).
