Targeted screening of 11 bisphenols and 7 plasticizers
Overall, these plasticizers were more frequently detected in food composites from Canada than from South Africa, as detailed below. DBP and DEP were the most frequently detected plasticizers among all the food composites from Canada, with an overall detection frequency of 75% (100/134 food composites) for each of them across four sampling rounds.
Processing and Characterization of Food-Grade Plasticizer
In the food-packaging industry, ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) is an attractive material due to its excellent gas barrier properties. Unfortunately, moisture sensitivity drastically limits the use of EVOH for packaging applications. To address this shortcoming, EVOH is often layered with other thermoplastic polymers or blended with nanomaterials to create films suitable for food packaging
Eastman Plasticizers for Food Contact
Eastman DOA Renew 20 plasticizer is used to produce clear films for food packaging applications. Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer is an excellent general purpose non-orthophtalate plasticizer with performance equal or better than most ortho-phthalate plasticizers. It offers good performance properties, excellent low temperature flexibility
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
Food-grade biopolymers and plasticizers used for formulating
Food-grade plasticizers commonly used in edible films have been extensively reviewed elsewhere (Sothornvit and Krochta 2005), whereas those used in the production of edible films based on fruits
