CHARACTERISATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF KNOWN/UNKNOWN MIGRATING SUBSTANCES IN FOOD USING LC GC HIGH RESOLUTION MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

A method was developed that enables to 1) detect and categorise known and unknown migrating substances from packaging into food, 2) to semi-quantify these known and unknown substances using CAD and FID and 3) define an exposure threshold of unknown substances above which these will be identified. The methodology is applied to packaged food in comparison with measurements performed in so-called food simulants.
