Current Status of Plasticizer Research | SpringerLink
Because of the increasing importance in food contact, PVC articles such as food wraps and sealing gaskets, hexahydrophthalate esters are considered as a promising new type of phthalate substitute plasticizers. 3.1.2 Research on Toxicity of Phthalate Compounds

1. Introduction. Plasticizers are chemical compounds that are commonly added to enhance the mechanical performance, plasticity, extensibility and durability of food contact materials (FCMs), which provide physical protection and identification of products, maintain food quality and extend shelf life (Asensio, Montaňés, & Nerín, 2025; Baure, Jesús, Ramos, Lozano, & Fernández-Alba, 2025
Plasticiser loss from plastic or rubber products through
The migration of plasticiser from polymers to a gas phase is a two-step process that includes diffusion from the polymer bulk to the surface followed by evaporation from the surface to the...
Plasticizer Migration: Ensuring Safety in Food Packaging
Plasticizer Migration: Ensuring Safety in Food Packaging New plasticizer technologies allow formulators to achieve performance requirements while meeting best practices for food safety and migration By William Arendt, Marianne M. Conner, Emily McBride
Study of the Migration of Stabilizer and Plasticizer
This study investigates the determination and migration of stabilizers and plasticizers from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Two methods [ultrasonic extraction with dichloromethane or methanol and total dissolution with phenol/tetrachloroethane (m:m/1:1)] for pre-concentration of additives in PET material were performed.
- Do plasticizers migrate into acidic foodstuffs?
- Thus, it has been demonstrated that a contact for prolonged time up to 40 °C did not promote the migration of plasticizers into acidic foodstuffs, but the migration of plasticizers to fatty foods can be high (75%–90% loss of plasticizers) and limit the use of PVC films as fatty food packaging. 1. Introduction
- Do plasticizers migrate into food simulants?
- In addition, commercial films have been evaluated as to plasticizers concentration and specific migration into food simulants. It was found that 25% of the samples comply with the specific migration limits for fatty foods contact while 50% might be used for contact with fatty foods with FRF 2–5.
- Does PVC film affect specific migration of plasticizers into aqueous acidic foods simulant?
- The samples of commercial PVC film displayed lower values of specific migration of plasticizers into aqueous acidic foods simulant than the quantification limit (LOQ) of the respective methods, even with concentration of approx. 40% in the formulation of the film ( Table 9 ).
- Why do plasticizers have a specific migration compared to the overall migration?
- The fact that the specific migration of plasticizers corresponds to the values of overall migration for most films evaluated may be due to the fact that the tests of specific migration were conducted with isooctane simulant, which has greater extractive power than olive oil (simulant used in the overall migration test).
- How much plasticizer migrates to the packed food?
- The quantity of plasticizer that migrates to the packed food depends on several factors such as the fat contents of the food, type and initial concentration of the plasticizer in the packaging material, storage time and temperature and the contact area ( Goulas, Salpea, & Kontominas, 2008 ).
- Do plasticizers migrate better than SML?
- Migration performance of conventional and new plasticizers were investigated. Distinct migration was due to different interactions between the plasticizers. Correlation between migration and tensile properties of the films was done. Most of commercial samples showed migration lower than SML established.
