Analytical strategies for organic food packaging contaminants

27 February 2017

Gas and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry detection is widely used in the analysis of compounds such as primary aromatic amines, bisphenol A and related compounds, UV-ink photoinitiators, perfluorinated compounds, phthalates and non-intentionally added substances.
Pressurized Liquid Extraction, Solid-Phase Microextraction, Focused Ultrasound Solid-Liquid Extraction and Quechers have been mainly used in the extraction of food contact material (FCM) contaminants, due to the trend of minimising solvent consumption, automatization of sample preparation and integration of extraction and clean-up steps (Journal of Chromatography A, 1 February 2017).
