Current Status of Plasticizer Research | SpringerLink
But before the news reports, this problem did not induce sufficient attention. The Hygienic Standards for Uses of Additives in Food Containers and Packaging Materials (GB 9685-2008), effective since 2008, introduced the concept of “specific migration” to restrict the amount of migration of certain plasticizers into food (or model food).
Migration of photoinitiators, phthalates and plasticizers
A general tendency was observed for all the compounds under study, regardless their chemical nature. Low migration rates were estimated into rice, intermediate into cereals, whereas high migration rates to milk powder were observed (see Table 2). In the case of photoinitiators, MK, DEAB and EDAB did not migrate into any of the studied foodstuffs.
Quantitative Analysis of Phthalates Plasticizers
Foodstuffs packed in plastics is the potential migration of plastic additives such as plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants and residual monomers from the plastic packaging material into the contained foodstuffs (Goulas et al ., 1998). Phthalate esters are the major class of plasticizers permitted by FDA for use in food-contact plastics.
Study of the Migration of Stabilizer and Plasticizer
Study of the Migration of Stabilizer and Plasticizer from Polyethylene Terephthalate into Food Simulants This study investigates the determination and migration of stabilizers and plasticizers from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
GC/MS Method for the Determination of Adipate Plasticizers
The migration of adipate plasticizers from flexible PVC films into various foods and food simulants has been reported (Hirayama and others 1991; Tsumura and others 2002; Dalgaard and others 2003; Freire and others 2006; Goulas and others 2007; Goulas and others 2008; and reference therein), but there are rarely published results for determining
- 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.
- 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 ).
- Does Mercosur regulate the migration of phthalates from food packaging materials?
- Migration of phthalates, alkylphenols, bisphenol A and di (2-ethylhexyl) adipate from food packaging Plasticizers in Brazilian food-packaging materials acquired on the retail market Mercosur/GMC/Res. n. 32/10. Mercosur technical regulation on migration from plastic materials, packages and equipments intended to come in contact with foodstuffs
- Why is chemical migration important in food packaging?
- The study of chemical migration from packaging materials to food is critical for ensuring food safety and public health. With the growing use of synthetic materials, such as plastics, in food packaging, understanding the potential migration of chemicals like plasticizers, solvents, and stabilizers is vital (Zhao et al., 2023) .
- 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.
