- Food contact materials (FCM) made of plastics often contain various additives that can migrate into food, potentially harming consumer health.
- A new GC-MS/MS method has been developed to test for these additives and assess their migration using food simulants.
- The research includes optimizing key parameters such as GC column selection, temperature programs, and internal standards for effective analysis of contaminants in beverages.
The development and validation of a simple, low-cost, and sensitive method for the determination of nine compounds expected in beverages and vinegar as a result of migration from food contact material (parabens, phenolic antioxidants, sulfonamide plasticizer, and flame retardant) is presented. The analytes were preconcentrated using solid-phase microextraction and analyzed by gas chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry. The method required no derivatization procedure and an affordable chemical was used as internal standard.
