VALIDACAO DE METODO ANALITICO PARA DETERMINAR A MIGRACAO DE e-CAPROLACTAMA DAS EMBALAGENS PARA ALIMENTOS GORDUROSOS

摘要

VALIDATION OF ANALYTICAL METHOD TO DETERMINE epsilon-CAPROLACTAM MIGRATION FROM PACKAGINGS TO FATTY FOOD. epsilon-Caprolactam (CAP) is a monomer of nylon 6 used as food packaging for bologna sausage, turkey blanquettes. fowl breast, pates and ham luncheon meat. After polymerization a part of the monomer can remain in the packaging and migrate into the food. The aim of this work was develop and validate a single laboratory method to determine CAP in ethanol 95% that simulates fatty food characteristics. Thus, linear range was 2 to 32 mg/L of CAR detection and quantification limits were 0.83 and 1.63 mg/L, respectively. Repeatability showed Hor Rat values lower than 2 while recovery range was 97.5 to 106.5%. The method was considered adequate for purpose.
