Food packaging materials

These properties concern paraffins that are part of food packaging materials. Their potential toxicity could be attributable to aromatic residues. The latter are thereby characterized directly or indirectly by ... [Pg.286]

Sorbates can be appHed to food by any of several methods, including direct addition, dipping in or spraying with an aqueous sorbate solution, dusting with sorbate powder, or addition to food packaging materials. The potassium salt is used in apphcations where high water solubiUty is desired. [Pg.286]

Other U.S. regulatory clearances for sorbic acid allow its use as an antimicotic in the manufacture of food packaging materials (159), as a pesticide adjuvant when appHed to growing crops (160), and with methylceUulose and dimethylpolysiloxane as an antifoaming agent (161). [Pg.287]

Ehret-Henry et al. [220] have shown that H NMR spectra can be used without chromatographic analysis, to shorten the total identification time necessary, and as a fingerprint of all the extractable nonvolatile compounds present in food packaging material (safety control). Figure 5.10 shows a H NMR spectrum (in CDCI3 with TMS as internal standard) of a Soxhlet extract of a 35 pirn PP film (after solvent evaporation). The assignments of the resonances of Irgafos 168 and its decomposition products were confirmed by a 31P- H 2D correlation NMR experiment [220],... [Pg.338]

Method development for high-pressure ashing and closed microwave digestion was reported for wet oxidation and extraction of Pb, Cd, Cr and Hg from various food packaging materials [57]. Use of HPA resulted in the highest median recoveries of the spiked elements (Pb and Cd, 92% Cr, 97% Hg, 83%). The use of In as an internal standard improved the accuracy... [Pg.600]

An alternative packaging is the combination of food-packaging materials with antimicrobial substances to control microbial surface contamination of foods. For both migrating and nonmigrating antimicrobial materials, intensive contact between the food product and packaging material is required and therefore potential food applications include especially vacuum or skin-packaged products (Vermeiren and others 2002).

Substances that are used only to formulate cosmetics or to manufacture food-packaging materials are dual regulated they still have to be registered under REACH, although they are subject to separate EU measures that involve an evaluation of their safety to humans. Hence, in order to avoid duplication of work, the REACH CSR only has to include an environmental risk assessment. [Pg.17]

The enforcement in Denmark of EU Directives on food packaging materials is discussed. Enforcement activities considered include studies of total migration from food contact materials, migration from kitchen-and tableware made of melamine plastics and migration of di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate from plasticised PVC films. Activities which need to be undertaken to increase the effectiveness of enforcement activities in the field of migration are described, including development of selfinspection programmes in industry, European network of enforcement, more rapid analysis and provision of information to the consumer. 2 refs.

Phenol is listed on the Food and Drug Administration s EAFUS (Everything Added to Foods in the United States) List (FDA 1998a), and is approved as a component of food packaging materials (FDA 1998b, 1998c, 1998d). [Pg.30]

Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is the main substrate for the manufacture of polymers used as packaging materials for food. Since VCM is considered by lARC to be a human carcinogen, monomer levels in PVC food packaging materials are strictly controlled. To ensure a safe product, the residual content of VCM in the finished material or article is limited to one mg per kg in the final product (Council Directive 78/142/EEC). Furthermore, VCM should not be detectable in foodstuflfs. Commission Directives 80/766/EEC and 81/432/ EEC give the method of analysis for official control of the VCM level in food packaging materials and in foods - gas-phase chromatography using the headspace method, after dissolution or suspension of samples in N,N-dimethylacetamide. Both residual monomer content of the polymer and... [Pg.323]

BPA can occur due to an incomplete polymerization, followed by migration into the food or environment [200], Furthermore, BPA monomer is used as color developer in thermal paper and is consequently also present in recycled paper and paperboard which can be used as food packaging material [201]. Human exposure to BPA is believed to occur mainly through contaminated food, although recently dermal exposure and absorption have gained attention [202-204]. [Pg.273]
