Migration of plasticizers phthalates, bisphenol A and
Migration of plasticizers phthalates, bisphenol A and alkylphenols from plastic containers and evaluation of risk This study investigates the potential migration of plasticisers, plastic components and additives from several plastic water bottles.
Migration of phthalates, alkylphenols, bisphenol A and di(2-ethylhexyl
The migration of plastic components or additives from packaging to food can produce a risk for human health, in fact many of these plasticizers and additives are “Endocrine Distruptors”, such as phthalates (PAEs), alkylphenols (APs), 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (bisphenol A or BPA) and di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate (DEHA).
Plasticiser loss from plastic or rubber products through diffusion and
The authors also showed that the migration kinetics of both didecyl phthalate and dinonyl phthalate from PVC were controlled by evaporation when the concentration was higher than 20 wt.% but were
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A Migration
Compounds studied were phthalates (dimethyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, benzylbutyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate), bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, octylphenol, 4-nonylphenol and bisphenol A.
Endocrine modulating chemicals in food packaging: A review
Phthalate/bisphenol migration from packaging material happens in two phases: (i) diffusion from the polymer interior to the surface (ASCE, 2025) and (ii) desorption from surface to environment. Fick's second law of diffusion is often used to define the molecule diffusion process (Ekelund et al., 2008; Stark et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2015 ).
- Can plasticisers migrate from plastic water bottles?
- This study investigates the potential migration of plasticisers, plastic components and additives from several plastic water bottles. Compounds studied were phthalates (dimethyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, benzylbutyl phthalate, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate), bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate, octylphen …
- Do food plastics migrate?
- In all cases, samples were solid-phase extracted using Oasis HLB 200 mg cartridges and analysed using GC-MS in scan-acquisition mode. Bisphenol A and 4-nonylphenol were detected in incubated samples, indicating that migration from food plastics can occur at the experimental conditions tested.
- Are phthalates and alkylphenols found in plastic containers?
- In other containers, the compounds detected may reflect the composition of the material, although in many instances it is difficult to determine the origin of phthalates, alkylphenols and DEHA since knowledge on the type and amounts of plasticizers and additives added during the manufacturing of plastics and containers is unspecified.
- Can plasticizers and additives migrate from Plastic Wine Tops?
- Furthermore to evaluate the potential migration of plasticizers and additives from plastic wine tops, two extraction methods were used, one through incubation at 40 °C for 10 days and one by ultrasounds extraction. The simulants employed were distilled water, acetic acid at 3%, ethanol at 15% for wine top.
- What phthalates are found in plastic water bottles?
- plastic water bottles. Compounds studied were phthalates (dimethyl phthalate, di- n -butyl phthalate, benzylbutyl and (3) standard method UNE-EN 13130-1. In addition, bottled waters contained in different plastic materials were analysed to determine the potential migration of target compounds in real conditions. In all cases, samples mode.
- Do plasticizers migrate from PVC films to food simulants?
- Goulas, Zygoura, Karatapanis, Georgantelis, and Kontominas (2007) review the migration of plasticizers from PVC films into various foods and food simulants. In particular DEHA was found in cheese wrapped in PVC films at levels ranging from 31 to 429 mg kg while in fresh meat these levels ranged from 49 to 151 mg kg.
