Determination of Phthalates Migrating from Plastic Containers into Beverages

Migration modelling of phthalate from non‐alcoholic beer bottles by adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference system

“…It was reported that the concentration of phthalate (DEHP) was 5.2 mg kg −1 to 7.9 mg kg −1 in mineral water and 2.4 mg kg −1 to 14.6 mg kg −1 in fruit beverages . In Turkey, in a study on various non‐alcoholic beverages (soda, lemonade, cola and mineral water), the concentration of phthalate ranged from 0.442 mg L −1 to 1.697 mg L −1 . Results similar to that of the current study in beverages were demonstrated by Yang et al .…”

“…A number of researchers reported that phthalate concentration in beverages (pH = 3) was five to 40 times higher than that in mineral water (pH = 5), and claimed that phthalate migration increased under the influence of acidic pH values . In other studies, phthalate migration into fruit mineral water and other beverages was investigated, and it was reported that phthalate concentrations in these beverages were higher or lower than the maximum contaminant level of drinking water . Few studies have been carried out to determine the effects of temperature and storage duration on the migration of phthalates from PET into stored carbonated or non‐carbonated beverages.…”

“…Phthalates are not chemically bound to plastic polymers and can migrate when they are in contact with food materials. Various studies have been conducted worldwide on the migration level of PET into beverages . But there are no reports concerning such studies in Iran.…”

Critical Review on the Presence of Phthalates in Food and Evidence of Their Biological Impact

“…DBP was found in concentrations between 91 µg L −1 (orange flavored soda) and 367 µg L −1 (cola). The total PAE amount also increased with the lengthening of the duration of the duration of soft drinks contamination [ 218 ]. In contrast with Bosnir et al [ 217 ], the highest PAE concentrations were measured in soda samples with Na-benzoate and K-sorbate used as preservative.…”

Preparation and application of a magnetic plasticizer as a molecularly imprinted polymer adsorbing material for the determination of phthalic acid esters in aqueous samples

“…PAEs, as a plasticizer, are widely used in poly(vinyl chloride) and other polymers due to their ability to significantly improve the flexibility, durability, and transparency of products made with polymeric matrixes . Since the links between the polymer chains and PAE plasticizer molecules are not reinforced by strong primary bonds, these compounds can easily migrate from the plastic products to the environment and subsequently result in human exposures through ingestion, inhalation, intravenous, and skin absorption . Previous studies have revealed that exposure to high doses of certain PAEs would cause notable adverse alterations in the reproductive system, endocrine system, and digestive system organs in rodents or other experimental animals .…”
