Additive migration levels in food simulants from polymeric materials that
are intended to be into contact with food can be affected by additive stability
under the migration test conditions. In this work, the stability of four
antioxidants: Butyle
ted hydroxy toluene (BHT), Bisphenol A (BPA),
Pentaerythritol tetrakis (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate) (Irganox
1010), and Octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate
(Irganox 1076), was studied in aqueous food simulants A, B, C and ethanol 95%
(as a substitute for olive oil- which is a fatty food simulant- simulant D), at
different temperatures 20, 40 and 70 ºC, during 20 days. Samples were
analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV
detector. In general, the studied compounds appeared to be more stable in both
Ethanol (95%) and simulant B than in simulants A and C.
Additive migration levels in food simulants from polymeric materials that
are intended to be into contact with food can be affected by additive stability
under the migration test conditions. In this work, the stability of Dibutyl
adipate (DBA), Di
isobutyl adipate(DIBA), Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), Di-noctyl
phthalate (DnOP),and Diethylhexyl sebacate (DEHS).,was studied in
aqueous food simulants A, B, C and ethanol 95% (as a substitute for olive oilwhich
is a fatty food simulant, simulant D), at different temperatures 20, 40 and
70 ºC, during 20 days. Samples were analyzed by high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) with UV detector at 270 nm. The stability of the
studied compounds appeared to be least of all in simulant B, then in simulant
A, and finally in simulant C., When temperature and exposure time increase.,
on the other hand, the increase in temperature and exposure time have greatly
less effect on the stability of plasticizers in ethanol %95,as a substitute for olive
oil-which is a fatty food simulant.
Additive migration levels in food simulants from polymeric materials that
are intended to be into contact with food can be affected by additive stability
under the migration test conditions. In this work, the stability of two
plasticizers: Diethyl
hexyl phthalate (DEHP) and Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was
studies in aqueous food simulants A, B, C and ethanol 95% (as a substitute for
olive oil- which is a fatty food simulant- simulant D), at different temperatures
20, 40 and 70 C0, during 20 days. Samples were analyzed by high performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detector.
In general, DEHP and DBP plasticizers appeared to be more stable in both
Ethanol (95%) and simulant C than in simulants A and B, while, they are less
stable, even at low temperatures, in Simulant B than in simulant A .
