Estimation of Dietary Exposure to Contaminants Transferred from the Packaging in Fatty Dry Foods Based on Cereals

Antía Lestido-Cardama

Food packaging has received special attention from the food safety stand since it can be a possible supply of contamination through the migration of chemical substances from the packaging material into food. The assessment of the exposure through the diet to those contaminants from food packaging is critical. during this work, associate estimation of dietary exposure of the young Spanish population (1–17 years) to focus on chemicals from packaging for fatty dried foods supported cereals was assessed. For this purpose, a gas natural process coupled to mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) technique was developed for screening of volatile and semivolatile compounds, potential migrants from the packaging. Then, this method was wont to quantify eight target analytes, that were antecedently known within the packaging (including phthalates, acetyl radical tributyl turn (ATBC), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and octocrylene), in composite food samples of fatty cereals ready consistent with the consumption information for various age teams. Among the phthalates, exposure to diethyl phthalate (DEP) was the best for the 3 teams thought-about (0.0761– 0.545 µg/kg body weight/day), followed by bis(2- ethylhxyl)phathalate (DEHP), whereas very cheap mean intake was found for di-n-octyl phathalate (DNOP; zero.00463–0.0209 µg/kg body weight/day). The calculable dietary exposures didn't exceed for any of the analytes the corresponding established tolerable daily intakes.
