Investigations on Overall Migration of Various Plastic Materials and Articles Used in Contact with Foodstuffs

Migration and sensory properties of plastics-based nets used as food-contacting materials under ambient and high temperature heating conditions

“…at al. (1990) studied overall migration of a series of plastics packaging materials including polyolefins (simulant: water, contact conditions: 100 o C/60min) and PET trays (simulant: olive oil, contact conditions: 175 o C/120min) in high temperature food-use applications and reported very low migration values < 2 and 4 mg/dm 2 respectively Czerniawski and Pogorzelska (1997). investigated overall migration of various plastics materials including PET sheets into a number of food simulants including isooctane and reported very low migration values in the order of 0.3mg/dm 2 .…”
