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
Plasticizer migration from polyvinyl chloride film to
Analytical models are described to correlate many of the data, criteria are presented for identifying the controlling step in the mechanism of transfer of plasticizer from PVC films into foods and food-simulating solvents, and tentative recommendations are offered for the selection of food simulants and for the type of experiment necessary to
Migration of plasticizers from PVC gaskets of lids for glass
The background of usually high migration of plasticizers from PVC gaskets into oily foods packed in glass jars was investigated. On average, 17 mg gasket material containing 25–45% plasticizer was in direct food contact per centimeter circumference of the jar rim, ranging from 7 to 33 mg/cm (90 samples). Photographs taken through a microscope
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 Food safety concern has extended to migration of materials from packaging, such as additives from ink, coatings and adhesives into the food. Figure 1.
Migration of plasticizers from printing inks into foods - PubMed
The migration of plasticizer increased with storage time of the wrapped product; for dibutyl phthalate, for example, levels increased from 0.2 to 6.7 mg/kg over the period from 0 to 180 days storage of a chocolate-coated confectionery product.
- Do packaging polymers migrate to food?
- Regulations and Legislation in Migration 9. Conclusions and Outlook The migration of chemical compounds from packaging polymers to food presents a multifaceted challenge with implications for food safety and public health. This review explores the interaction between packaging materials and food products, focusing ...
- 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
- Are chemicals and additives migrating into food?
- The migration of chemicals and additives from packaging materials into food is a substantial concern for public health and food safety. By establishing guidelines for the materials used in food packaging and verifying their migration potential, a variety of regulations and legislations are designed to mitigate these risks.
- 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 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.
- Can plasticizers migrate from packaging to food?
- Plasticizers can migrate from packaging materials into food, particularly when exposed to high temperatures or extended periods of storage, posing vital risks to health .
