Effect of Presence and Concentration of Plasticizers
Effect of plasticizer ( a) glycerol, ( b) sorbitol concentration (%, w / w) on surface tension (mN/m) of the coating solution. Glycerol or sorbitol was incorporated into 1.25% ( w / w) sodium alginate solutions ( n = 3). Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables have high water activity on the surface.

Effect of presence and concentration of plasticizers
Achieving high quality of a coated food product is mostly dependent on the characteristics of the food material to be coated, the properties of the components in the coating solution, and the obtained coating material.
Effect of Presence and Concentration of Plasticizers
Alginate concentration had a signicant effect on the viscosity of the coating gel (p 0.05, Kruskal–Wallis test). The 3.5% (w/w) is selected as the highest concentration due to the high gel

- Are plasticizers a problem in Germany?
- We found an increasing number of substitutes in the German part of the three major European rivers Rhine, Danube and Elbe, as well as other waters in Germany. As a result, the total burden of plasticizers in the aquatic environment has hardly changed since 2005.
- Do phthalates and plasticizers exist in German rivers?
- The aim of this study was to obtain spatial-temporal trends for DEHP and its substitutes in German rivers. We have investigated suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) for the presence of 23 plasticizers, i.e. 17 phthalates and 6 non-phthalates.
- Why are plasticizers marketed in high volumes?
- Plasticizers are marketed in high volumes and Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is frequently detected in the environment and human populations. Industry had largely relied on DEHP until regulation started to restrict its marketing in 1999 due to environmental and human health concerns.
- Are there plasticizers in suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples?
- We have investigated suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) for the presence of 23 plasticizers, i.e. 17 phthalates and 6 non-phthalates. The samples were collected in the last 10 years at 13 sites in large river basins in Germany such as the Rhine, Elbe and Danube.
- What is the demand for plasticizers?
- With predicted global PVC growth of about 3% per year ( IHS Markit, 2018 ), the demand for plasticizers is expected to grow steadily. Phthalate esters - especially DEHP - accounted for the majority of plasticizers used in previous years.
- How effective are LMW plasticizers in reducing phthalates in the EU?
- As a result, the total EU market share of DEHP and other LMW phthalates in 2017 had dropped to 11% ( ). However, the effectiveness of the restriction of LMW plasticizers is only partially reflected in our findings: in 2017, the average DEHP content in SPM samples was still 24%.
