Migration of Plasticizers from Paper Packaging Inks to Milk Powder

Abstract

Abstract:

The safe use of printing materials for food packaging is a major area of investigation. The hazardous substances
like plasticizers in printing inks can migrate into the food through the packaging material. However, there have been
few studies reporting the migration kinetics of the the plasticizers to food from ink. In this study, a novel method was
developed for the study of migration of plasticizers from the printing inks through paper to milk powder at 100, 70, 50 ℃ and 25 ℃,
respectively and for different contact times ranging from 5 min at 100 ℃ to 40 days at 25 ℃. The inks were offset printed by
simulating the real situation, hadwhich has never been used in migration research. The plasticizers investigated included the
commonly used dibutyl phthalate (DBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP) and a new type of the
environmentally-friendly plasticizer, acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). Gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detector
(GC-FID) was used for the determination of ethanol extracts of these plasticizers from both printed paper and milk powder. The
results showed that the paper did not provide an appropriate barrier against the migration of the plasticizers from printing inks. The
maximum migration of DBP and ATBC reached almost 67.8% while that of DEHP and DOP was about 6.7%. The contact time,
the temperature and the properties of the compounds are the factors affecting the real mass transfer.
