[Study on Migrants Found in Migration Solutions from Commercially Available Polyethylene Products].

Migrants found in migration solutions obtained from commercially available polyethylene products that may contain food were studied and analysed via liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF) for non-target screening and LC-MS/MS for quantifying 14 substances in migration solutions. Furthermore, an analytical approach based on the retention gap was developed for accurate separation techniques using LC-MS/MS. Irganox 1076 was detected at a maximum of 1.

[Analysis of Acidic Tar Dyes in High-Protein Foods: Achievement of Improved Recoveries and Shortened Operation Time by Loading Sample Extract onto Polyamide Columns at pH 8.5].

The recoveries of xanthene dyes in the analysis of acidic tar-dyes in high-protein foods were improved by loading them onto polyamide columns at pH 8.5, instead of using the conventional pH 3-4 solution. The experimental scale was reduced to approximately half that of the conventional method.

[Analyses of Acidic Tar Dyes in High-Protein Foods and Examination of Extraction and Clean-Up Methods for Various Foods].

Extraction and clean-up methods were examined for the analysis of acidic tar dyes in various high-protein foods. 1% Aqueous ammonia followed by ethanol, 1% aqueous ammonia-ethanol (1 : 1) mixture, and 1% aqueous ammonia-tetrahydrofuran (1 : 1) mixture were used in sequence for boiled fish paste (kamaboko), pounded fish cake (hanpen), and sausage. The sausage extract was centrifuged at low temperature to solidify and remove the contained fat.

[Analysis of Acidic Tar Dyes in High Protein Food: Effect of pH of Column Loading Solution for Clean-Up].

The effect of pH of the clean-up process in the analysis of 11 permitted tar dyes in high protein food was investigated by using a handmade polyamide column (PA column) and Oasis HLB. Boiled fish paste spiked with the 11 dyes was extracted with appropriate solvents and the pH of the extract was adjusted to 3.0-7.
