Abstract: Phthalic acid esters (PAEs), the typical representation of environmental estrogen, could be enriched gradually in organisms through food chain and exhibited biological toxicity such as carcinogenic, mutagenicity, destroying immunity and procreation function. They are organic contamination endanger the descendant. This study reviewed the species, biological toxicity and food safety and detection method. The further research interests on food safety of the PAEs was also refered.

Key words: Phthalic acid esters, detection, safety evaluation
