Recycling emerges as pivotal for mitigation. Ensuring the safety and quality of recycled plastics for packaging requires a thorough understanding of the characteristics and potential risks of contaminants that may be present. This study addressed challenges posed by excessive sample weight and polymer matrices affecting accurate quantification using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), optimizing a HS-SPME gas chromatography mass spectrometry method for comprehensive volatile compound characterization in polymers. An algorithm was developed to select suitable standards for semi-quantification based on structural similarity, enhancing quantification accuracy. We applied these methods to analyze 65 recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) samples from diverse prior uses, identifying 362 volatile compounds. Notably, alkylbenzenes and alkylnaphthalenes emerge as predominant contaminants, likely stemming from detergent residues, with alkylbenzenes exhibiting higher intensities and alkylnaphthalenes posing elevated risk potentials. Benzophenone, chloroxylenol, and various phthalates were widespread, ranging in concentration from 1.3 to 9.5 mg/kg. Additionally, pesticides e.g., dimethazone and atrazine were found predominantly in samples from non-food bottles. Fragrances like D-limonene, texanol, and amberonne were frequently detected, with amberonne notably contributing significantly to off-odors in the recycled plastics. These findings underscore the complexity of rHDPE composition, highlight specific contaminants of concern, and provide references for improving the recycling process and ensuring the safety and adaptability of rHDPE for food contact purposes or other high value applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12377,"journal":{"name":"Food Packaging and Shelf Life","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 101424"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143094931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The active film of LDPE/PET incorporating SN was developed, characterized, and applied to vacuum-packaged pork. Compared with the LDPE/PET film without SN, the active film containing 0.5 wt% or more SN could effectively improve pork color to make it appear bright-red, and extend its shelf life to 15 −18 d due to a reduction in total volatile base nitrogen contents and microbial proliferation during storage at 4 °C. Based on the above, a color prediction model of the chromaticity ratio <em>S*</em> was established to predict the color protection effect of the active film containing different SN content on pork. The relative error between the predicted and measured values of <em>S*</em> was 0.09 %−10.21 %, indicating the effectiveness of the model.

In this study, a green synthesis method for nano-sized γ-CD-MOFs (200–800 nm) without the size regulators was successfully formulated.

Therefore, this study designed bilayer films consisting of PLA layer and a PE layer. In the PE layer, binary nanoparticles composed of soybean protein isolate (SPI) and CS were used as solid supports to load increasing amounts (0 %, 2 %, 4 %, 6 %, 8 %, v/v) of complex essential oils (carvacrol and thymol, CT).

The characteristics and functional properties were evaluated, along with the quality changes in refrigerated pork wrapped with the films (BF-CT0 or BF-CT8). Results indicated that CT addition significantly enhanced the stability of the PE. The PE layer with higher CT doses exhibited a denser microstructure, more hydrophobic surface, improved elongation at break, and greater water resistance. CT addition significantly improved light and gas barrier functions. Notably, the BF-CT8 film demonstrated extremely low water vapor and oxygen permeability (1.25 ± 0.06 kg•m⁻¹•s⁻¹•Pa⁻¹ and 0.24 ± 0.01 kg•m⁻¹•s⁻¹•bar⁻¹, respectively). All films showed a similar semi-crystalline structure, and CT addition decreased crystallinity. As expected, BF-CT8 displayed enhanced antioxidant and antibacterial performance. Finally, BF-CT8 extended the shelf life of refrigerated pork from 3 days to 6 days compared to BF-CT0 and unwrapped pork.
