Polypropylene: establishment of a rapid extraction test for overall migration limit compliance testing

Proporties and Synthesis of Biosilver Nanofilms for Antimicrobial Food Packaging

“…The fact that the peaks at 2928–2941–2820–2863 cm −1 are higher than the spectrum of pure starch proves that the modification made by taurine and garlic extracts was successful. Moreover, it can be assumed that the interactions resulting from the modification originated from aliphatic C-H tensile bands [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

“…According to the results, silver nanofilms can be used as food packaging material according to Article 8 of TGK 2013/34, and the analysis values are well below the reference values. Although the migration concentration of the materials is 6 dm 2 of packaging material per 1 kg in accordance with the European Regulation 10/2011 (EC, 2011), according to TGK 2013/34 Article 8 in Turkey, the migration limit concentration of materials for foods is 10 mg/dm 2 [ 18 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Figure 6 shows the migration analysis results of the CS silver nanofilms.…”

“…This means that the CS silver nanofilms were found to be packaging films appropriate for usage with all food products. The concentration values of the silver nanofilm’s migration analysis were calculated according to the method described in a previously published article [ 18 ]. Table 4 shows the migration analysis results according to the literature.…”

“…The measurement method of the migration analysis has been carried out according to the literature [ 18 ], and TGK 2013/34 Article 8. The migration assays were carried out by using the procedures given in the Committee European Normalization Environment (CEN ENV) 1186 Prestandard.8 and TGK 2013/34 Article 8.…”

Static pentane extraction as a potential alternative to Soxhlet extraction for polypropylene olive oil overall migration limit measurements

“…Alternative, volatile fatty food simulants, like isooctane, alcohols, and ether, have been described elsewhere. [3][4][5][6] The use of volatile solvents like isooctane eliminates the need for simulant removal from substrates by using Soxhlet extraction. However, that approach can result in overestimates of OML levels relative to olive oil.…”
