Plasticizers in Brazilian food-packaging materials acquired on the retail market Author: Freire, M.T. de A., Santana, I.A., Reyes, F.G.R. Source: Food additives & contaminants 2006 v.23 no.1pp. 93-99 ISSN: 0265-203X Subject:
- 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
- Which plasticizers are used in food packaging?
- DEHA (di (2-ethylhexyl) adipate), ESBO (epoxidized soybean oil), ATBC (acetylated tributyl citrate) and polymeric plasticizers are used in plastic packages for food (the last two plasticizers are used mainly in Europe due to their high cost) and are not hard to find them in packages available in the market.
- 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 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 ).
- Does Mercosur regulate the migration of phthalates from food packaging materials?
