Abstract
In this work, the food safety of disposable tableware with different compositions and uses has been studied. Migration tests of nine commercially disposable tableware made of polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and cardboard have been performed in four food simulants (ethanol 10 %, ethanol 95 %, acetic acid 3 % and Tenax ®) and analysed by direct-immersion solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (DI-SPME-GC-MS). Mass Spectrometry Data Independent Analysis (MS-DIAL) software was used for identifying the volatile migrants and proved to be a huge step forward to perform non-target analysis in food contact material samples compared to traditional approaches. Our study detected a wide range of additives like plasticizers, lubricants, and inks and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) like degradation products from polystyrene (oligomers) and polypropylene along with degradation products of antioxidants and UV stabilizers. More than 80 % of the compounds found were non listed substances (NLS) and their potential toxicological risk was estimated on the basis of Cramer’s rules.
期刊介绍:
Food packaging is crucial for preserving food integrity throughout the distribution chain. It safeguards against contamination by physical, chemical, and biological agents, ensuring the safety and quality of processed foods. The evolution of novel food packaging, including modified atmosphere and active packaging, has extended shelf life, enhancing convenience for consumers. Shelf life, the duration a perishable item remains suitable for sale, use, or consumption, is intricately linked with food packaging, emphasizing its role in maintaining product quality and safety.
