Eleven phthalate esters and di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate in oneweek duplicate diet samples obtained from hospitals and their estimated daily intake

Plasticizers in duplicate diet samples obtained over 1 week were analysed in order to estimate daily intake. The phthalate esters were as follows: diethyl, dipropyl, dibutyl, dipentyl, dihexyl, butylbenzyl, dicyclohexyl, di(2-ethylhexyl), dioctyl, diisooctyl (mixture of isomers) and diisononyl (mixture). Di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate was also determined. Homogenized samples of composite meals were extracted with acetonitrile, lipids were removed by extraction into n-hexane and the acetonitrile layer was cleaned using FlorisilR and R Bondesil PSA dual layer column. Phthalates were determined by GC/MS (SIM). Phthalate recovery from the fortified food mixture by this method was 62.5-140.8%. Quality assurance as assessed by three laboratories indicated coefficient of variance in the levels of detected phthalates in same lot samples as below 10%. Detection limits were 0.1-23ng/g for each phthalate. One-week duplicate diet samples provided by three hospitals in three remote prefectures of Japan were analysed as individual meals. In all 63 samples, DEHP was present at the highest level among all phthalates in the range 10-4400ng/g. The intake of plasticizers estimated from all samples was 519 µ g DEHP/day, 86 µ g DEHA/day, 65 µ g DINP/day, and 4.7 µ g BBP/day. Calculated DEHP in 2-day samples out of 21 days exceeded EU TDI for a person of 50kg body weight (1850 µ g per day). Disposable PVC gloves used during the preparation of meals were suspected as the source of the high DEHP content. One-day intake of the other phthalates and DEHA was below 7% of TDI in all cases. High concentrations of DEHP (5990ng/g) was found in baby food used in quality assurance work. The source of contamination was the PVC-tube used during production and was effectively reduced by replacing the tube by one made of stainless steel.     

Analysis of plasticizers in cap-sealing resins for bottled foods

A survey of plasticizers in cap-sealing resins for bottled foods has been undertaken. During 1997-1999 di-(2- ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) was found in seven out of 21 samples on the Japanese domestic market and in 10 out of 61 imported samples as well as a further two samples which contained di-(2-ethylhexyl)adipate (DEHA). In the period 1993-1999, of the other plasticizers diacetyl lauroyl glycerol (DALG) was only detected in domestic samples whereas diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and diisononyl phthalate (DINP) were only in imported samples. It was observed overall that DEHP and DEHA were restricted to use in cap-sealing resins for bottled foods. Whilst phthalates, DEHA or DALG were detected in samples in 1993 and 1995, the investigation in 1997-1999 showed fewer samples in which these plasticizers were found.     

Estimated daily intake of plasticizers in 1-week duplicate diet samples following regulation of DEHP-containing PVC gloves in Japan

Duplicate hospital diet samples obtained over 1 week in 2001 were analysed to estimate the daily intake of plasticizers and the results were compared with those obtained in 1999. The plasticizers quantified in this study were: dibutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), diisononyl adipate (DINA) and O-acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). Dipropyl, dipentyl, dihexyl and dicyclohexyl phthalate were also analysed but not detected. The analytical procedure for this follow-up study was essentially the same as in the previous one. Detection limits were 0.1-15.6 ng g^-1 for each plasticizer. One-week duplicate diet samples provided by three hospitals in three remote prefectures of Japan were analysed as individual meals. DEHP was detected at 6-675 ng g^-1 in 62 of 63 meals, significantly lower levels compared with those detected in 1999. Levels of DEHA and DINP also decreased. The mean intake of plasticizers estimated from all samples was 160 μg DEHP day^-1, 12.5 μg DEHA day^-1, 4.7 μg DINP day^-1 and 3.4 μg BBP day^-1. Levels of DINA were relatively high in meals from one hospital: in those meals, the average daily intake was 1338 μg day^-1. Those of ATBC were also higher in meals from another hospital: the average daily intake was 1228 μg day^-1. The sources of DINA and ATBC can be cling-film or sausage packaging.     

Contents of phthalate in polyvinyl chloride toys

The presence of plasticizers in PVC toys obtained in October 1998 was investigated. Diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), dinonyl phthalate (DNP), diheptyl phthalate (DHP), and di-2-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA) were detected. The phthalates were found in all of the 68 samples. The principal phthalate found in toys was DINP, which was present in 48 of 68 samples. The DINP content ranged from 15 mg/g to 580 mg/g, and mean content was 308 mg/g. The highest content was found in a pacifier toy. DEHP was present in 20 of 68 samples and the content ranged from 2.0 mg/g to 380 mg/g. The mean content was 162 mg/g. It was found in 60% of domestic toys.     

Occurrence of phthalates in different food matrices: A systematic review of the main sources of contamination and potential risks

This systematic review aimed to investigate the occurrence of phthalates (phthalic acid esters [PAEs]) in different food matrices, as well as report the main sources of PAEs in food, the potential risks to the population, and the factors that influence its migration from food contact materials (FCMs) to food. Nineteen PAEs were identified, including di-(2-ehtylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl-phthalate (DBP), benzylbutyl phthalate (BBP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) in fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy products, cereals, meat, fish, fat and oils, snacks, condiments and sauces, miscellaneous, and baby food. Fifty-seven values of PAEs were above the legal limits of countries. DEHP is the PAE with the highest incidence, with maximum concentrations above the specific migration limit (SML) for milk and dairy products, oils and fats, fish, cereals, condiments and sauces, meat, and fruits and vegetables. The risk of exceeding the tolerable daily intake (TDI) was high for DEHP and DBP in fish, fat and oils, cereals, and milk and dairy products for children and adults. Fat and oils are the most critical food for DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DINP. Comparing the estimated daily intake (EDI) with the TDI, there was a risk for “milk and dairy products” in adults and for “cereal and cereal products” in children concerning DEHP. “Cereal and cereal products” presented a risk in children and adults concerning DBP. The “fat and oils” category presented a risk in children and adults about DBP and DINP. Temperature, contact time between food and the FCM, fat percent, and acidity positively correlate with the PAE's migration. The contamination occurs in many steps of the production chain.     

我国成人饮白酒者抗雄激素作用样邻苯二甲酸酯类物质的累积风险评估

目的评估中国居民成人饮白酒者(以下简称饮酒者)抗雄激素作用样邻苯二甲酸酯类物质,即邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)、邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)、邻苯二甲酸丁基苄基酯(BBP)的累积膳食摄入水平及其健康风险。方法利用2011—2013年间收集的24类食品中DEHP、DBP和BBP含量数据,结合2002年中国居民营养与健康状况调查数据,采用简单分布评估的方法,计算我国居民成人饮酒者全人群以及18~59岁(男、女)、60岁以上(男、女)等4个不同性别-年龄组人群DEHP、DBP和BBP的膳食摄入水平。采用危害指数法计算经膳食联合暴露于DEHP、DBP和BBP的健康风险。结果单一化学物的风险评估发现,我国成人饮酒者中全人群和各性别-年龄组人群的DEHP、DBP和BBP的平均摄入量和高食物消费量人群(P97.5)的摄入量均低于其相应的每日可耐受摄入量(TDI)。进一步分析发现,约有0.64%(18/2 800)的个体DBP摄入量超过其TDI。而采用危害指数方法进行的累积风险评估发现,我国成人饮酒者全人群和各性别-年龄组人群的危害指数均低于1;有0.79%(22/2 800)的个体危害指数超过1。结论中国居民成人饮酒者全人群的抗雄激素作用样PAEs的累积暴露健康风险较低,有24例个体的健康风险需要关注,建议适量饮酒。     

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate contamination of retail packed lunches caused by PVC gloves used in the preparation of foods

Plasticizer contamination of foods sold in retail packed lunches and set lunches in restaurants was determined by GC/MS. The phthalate esters were as follows: diethyl, dipropyl, dibutyl, dipentyl, dihexyl, butylbenzyl, dicyclohexyl, di(2-ethylhexyl), dioctyl, diisooctyl (mixture of isomers) and diisononyl (mixture). Di(2- ethylhexyl) adipate was also determined. Sixteen packed lunches and ten set lunches were analysed, and in all samples the concentration of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) was the highest, at 0.80-11.8 mg/ kg in packed lunches and 0.012-0.30 mg/kg in set lunches. The DEHP content of five packed lunches exceeded 1.85 mg, which is the EU tolerable daily intake (TDI) for a person of 50 kg body weight. Foodstuffs that were components of the packed lunches were taken from the factory at each step of preparation and phthalates were determined. For example, chicken contained 0.08 mg/kg DEHP when uncooked, 13.1 mg/ kg after frying and 16.9 mg/kg after packing. Disposable PVC gloves used in the preparation of foods were apparently the source of high DEHP concentrations. The gloves used during cooking or packaging were sprayed with 68% (w/w) ethanol to sterilize them. PVC gloves from the factory contained 22 or 41% by weight of DEHP. To confirm the link with the contamination problem, samples of boiled rice, croquette and boiled dry radish were handled in the laboratory with PVC gloves containing 30% (w/w) DEHP. DEHP migration levels of 0.05 mg/kg in rice or 0.33 mg/kg in croquette, and 11.1 mg/kg in radish were found. The alcohol sprayed onto the gloves increased the migration of DEHP to 2.03 mg/kg in rice, 2.45 mg/ kg in croquette, and 18.4 mg/kg in radish.     

PVC plasticizers/additives migrating from the gaskets of metal closures into oily food: Swiss market survey June 2005

Foods with at least a few percent of free oil packed in glass jars with metal closures were analyzed for migration of additives, primarily plasticizers, from the gasket of the lid. One hundred and fifty-eight samples were collected in June 2005, i.e., some 10 months after the problem of excessive migration into oily food was communicated to the industry. In a first step, the composition of the additives in the gaskets was determined. Then the compounds found in the lid were measured in the jar content. Sixty-four percent of the gaskets contained epoxidized soy bean oil (ESBO) as principal plasticizer, 22% a phthalate, and 6% substantial amounts of di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA). Concentrations in the food reached 1,170 mg/kg for ESBO, 270 mg/kg for diisononyl phthalate (DINP), 740 mg/kg for diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), 825 mg/kg for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and 180 mg/kg for DEHA. Further, elevated concentrations of plasticizers not authorized by the EU were found: diisononyl-cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH), 2-ethylhexyl palmitate and stearate, as well as epoxidized linseed oil (ELO). The few samples complying with the European rules contained little or well emulsified oil; some others were probably of very recent production (beginning of shelf life). It is concluded that there was still no lid reliably complying with the European rules (EU and national legislation).     

DEHA-plasticized PVC for retail packaging of fresh meat

 A selection of frequently consumed meat products were packed in two commercial types of plasticized PVC film with declared plasticizer compositions of 11 and 21% di-(ethylhexyl)adipate (DEHA), respectively. The meat products were analysed for DEHA after packaging and storage until their “use by” date. Pretreatment of the meat, including cutting, chopping, cooking and packaging, was performed according to normal practice in a Danish supermarket. All samples contained DEHA. In general the investigation showed that a high fat content in or at the surface of the meat and/or a high storage temperature and/or repeated repackaging with new film during treatment gave rise to the greatest amount of DEHA migration from the film into the meat. No significant differences in DEHA migration could be seen when comparing the two films, although they were quite different in terms of plasticizer composition. The DEHA concentration at the “use by” date in fresh lean trimmings and slices of pork leg was 1 – 2 mg/kg, whereas neck and strip loin with some fat at the surface contained about 5 – 10 mg/kg. More fatty types of meat such as minced beef and pork with 18 – 20% fat, packaged once in plasticized PVC, contained around 20 mg DEHA/kg. When previously packaged loin was cut into steaks or chops, repackaged, minced and repackaged again, the DEHA concentration doubled to around 40 mg/kg. Finally if meatballs were then produced from the said mince, repackaged and stored at 65°C for 24 h, the DEHA concentration reached 100 mg/kg. Based on the evaluations of DEHA given by the EU Scientific Committee for Food, the National Food Agency considers concentrations of DEHA in foods higher than 18 mg/kg to be unacceptable.

Levels of phthalates and adipates in processed foods and migration of di-isononyl adipate from polyvinyl chloride film into foods

The levels of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEPHP), di-isononyl phthalate (DINP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) and di-isononyl adipate (DINA) were determined in 50 processed foods (ham and sausage, fried dumpling and shao-mai, fish paste products, croquette and fried fish, bread, noodle, pickles, etc.). DBP, BBP, DEHP, DINP, DEHA, and DINA were contained at nd approximately 47.7, nd approximately 16.6, nd approximately 749, nd approximately 358, nd approximately 57.2 and nd approximately 20,200 ppb, respectively. High-level contamination of DINA was found in fish paste products, croquette and shao-mai, presumably because of migration from plasticized wrapping film using for food packaging. We studied the relationship between DINA migration from wrapped PVC film into fried croquette and its standing time after frying. When the croquette was wrapped immediately after frying, the migration from wrapping film into the croquette was highest (36,400 ng/g). On wrapping after standing for 5 min and 30 min, the migration level was reduced to 1/3.5 and 1/14 of the highest level, respectively.     

Di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate migration from PVC-cling film into packaged sea bream (Sparus aurata) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets: kinetic study and control of compliance with EU specifications

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film containing di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) plasticizer was used to wrap sea bream (Sparus aurata) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillet samples with and without skin. After wrapping the samples were stored at 2 ± 0.5 °C and analyzed for DEHA content at time intervals between 5 and 360 h of contact (kinetic study). Determination of DEHA was performed using a direct gas chromatography (GC) method. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in migration of DEHA were observed between the two fish fillet samples: the mean equilibrium migration amount of DEHA in sea bream was 2.93 mg/dm² film (91.9 mg/kg fillet) corresponding to a loss of 19.0% (w/w) DEHA from PVC film; while the mean equilibrium amount of DEHA in rainbow trout was 3.74 mg/dm² (117.6 mg/kg) corresponding to a loss of 23.9% (w/w) DEHA. The above values for DEHA in sea bream are very close to the limit of 3 mg/dm² of film surface set by the EU for DEHA while the corresponding migration values for rainbow trout exceeded this limit. Diffusion coefficients for DEHA in the PVC film during contact with both fish fillets were calculated and found significantly different between two fish samples. Furthermore, the presence of skin on the fillet decreased migration of DEHA into the fish flesh by a factor of 2.4–2.8. Based on equilibrium migration values of DEHA it is concluded that for a 60-kg adult, a daily consumption of 150 g rainbow trout or 200 g sea bream fillet packaged in PVC film would result in a daily intake of DEHA close to the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.3 mg/kg body weight set by the EU.     

Survey of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate plasticizer contamination of retail Danish milks.

An investigation of residues of di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) in retail whole milk in samples from one German and 14 Danish dairies is reported. The investigation was performed about six months after the use of DEHP-plasticized milk tubing was banned in Denmark. The results indicate a mean concentration of DEHP lower than 50 micrograms/litre in retail whole milk. Based on these data and the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) for DEHP of 25 micrograms/kg body weight laid down by the EEC Scientific Committee for Food, it is concluded that the intake of DEHP from milk and milk products does not, even through a whole life, constitute a danger to health for the Danish population.     

Determination of phthalates in raw bovine milk by gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOF-MS) and dietary intakes

Low levels of phthalates, including di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), in raw bovine milk were determined using gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOF-MS). A fast and convenient process of sample treatment combined with TOF-MS analysis (medium resolution >5000), yielded good recoveries (85–125%) and low limits of detection (<0.002 mg kg^?1). The most commonly used phthalate, DEHP, was found in 15 out of 30 samples monitored in this study. DEHP concentrations in raw milk ranged from not detected to 0.154 mg kg^?1, and the mean concentration was 0.057 mg kg^?1. The dietary intake of DEHP was about 0.004 mg kg^?1 body weight day^?1 if a child (24 months, 13 kg body weight) drinks 1 L day^?1 of milk that contains the mean concentration of DEHP found in raw milk. The estimated dietary intake corresponded to 8% of the European Union tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.05 mg kg^?1 body weight day^?1. Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) were found from two and 20 samples, respectively, at low levels. Diethyl phthalate (DEP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP) were not found in any of the samples.     

Determination of alkylphenols,bisphenol A,benzophenone and phthalates in containers of baby food,and migration into food simulants

Infants, whose growth and development are highly dependent upon the endocrine system, are particularly vulnerable to endocrine disruptor exposure. In our study, we examined whether or not alkylphenols, bisphenol A, benzophenone, di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate and 10 phthalates are present in containers of baby food. Furthermore, the migration into food-simulating solvents was also examined. Sixteen types of containers of baby food, obtained on the Japanese market in 2001, were examined: 8 glass bottle types, 1 plastic type, 1 metallic package (laminated with plastic) and 6 multilayered laminated film packages. Alkylphenols, benzophenone, bisphenol A and di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate were not detected in any of the samples. On the other hand, dibutylphthalate (DBP) was detected in 7 samples (1.2-9.1 micrograms/sample), and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) was detected in 15 samples (1.3-18 micrograms/sample). Migration tests were carried out for 5 samples, and the levels of DBP and DEHP that migrated into n-heptane were 0.68-1.7 micrograms/sample and 0.33-3.5 micrograms/sample, respectively. From these results, a baby's intake levels of DBP and DEHP were estimated to be about 1/2,500 and 1/90-300 of the tolerable daily intake (TDI), respectively.     

GC-MS/MS法测定不同香型白酒中邻苯二甲酸酯类的含量分析

采用气相色谱-三重四极杆串联质谱法（GC-MS/MS）建立了邻苯二甲酸酯（PAEs）的检测方法,并对12种不同香型白酒中的18种PAEs塑化剂的含量进行了测定。结果表明,18种PAEs的分离效果良好,检出限为0.001～0.428 mg/kg,定量限为0.003～1.426 mg/kg。邻苯二甲酸二异壬酯（DINP）的线性范围为0.403～20.150 μg/mL,其余17种PAEs的线性范围为0.020～1.106 μg/mL,相关系数（R2）均＞0.999,精密度试验结果相对标准偏差（RSD）均＜10%,回收率为82.99%～115.25%;白酒样品检出塑化剂的种类主要为邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯（DIBP）、邻苯二甲酸二正丁酯（DBP）及邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基）己酯（DEHP）,含量分别在0.18～1.53 mg/kg、0.27～1.36 mg/kg、0.18～1.86 mg/kg,其中兼香型白酒样品的DBP含量为1.36 mg/kg,超出国标规定限值。在凤香型白酒样品和馥郁香型白酒样品中检出邻苯二甲酸二甲酯（DMP）,含量分别为0.53 mg/kg、0.45 mg/kg,在药香型白酒样品中检出邻苯二甲酸二正辛酯（DNOP）,含量为1.42 mg/kg,其余均未检出。     

Contents of eleven phthalates and di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate in retail packed lunches after prohibition of DEHP-containing PVC gloves for cooking purposes

Ten samples of retail packed lunches purchased from convenience stores were determined for 11 phthalates and di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) in August 2000, 2 months after the prohibition of DEHP-containing PVC gloves in Japan. Each homogenized sample was extracted with acetonitrile, partitioned with n-hexane, and cleaned up using Florisil and PSA columns. Phthalates in the extract were determined by GC/MS (SIM). The limits of detection were 14.9 ng/g for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and 18.6 ng/g for dibutyl phthalate (DBP). Levels of phthalates in packed lunch samples were 45 to 517 ng DEHP/g (198 ng/g, average), ND to 90 ng DEHA/g, and ND to 10.0 ng BBP/g. Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) was detected in one sample at 76 ng/g. Average DEHP level in ten samples was 4% of that in 1999. The contents of other phthalates were also reduced. DBP was not detected in any sample. Recovery of deuterated isomers added as surrogates was 27.9% for DNP-d4, and 40.6 to 101.5% for the other phthalates.     

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and 20 phthalates in composite food samples from the 2013 Canadian Total Diet Study

A sensitive and selective GC-MS method was developed and used for simultaneous analysis of di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) and 20 selected phthalates in the food samples from the 2013 Canadian Total Diet Study. At least one of the 21 target chemicals was detected in 141 of the 159 different food composite samples analysed. However, only seven of the 21 target chemicals were detected, with di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and DEHA being detected most frequently, in 111 and 91 different food composite samples, respectively, followed by di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) (n = 44), n-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP) (32), di-iso-butyl phthalate (DiBP) (27), di-ethyl phthalate (DEP) (3), and di-cyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) (1). Levels of DEP (di-ethyl phthalate), DiBP, DBP, BBzP and DCHP were low, in general, with average concentrations of 9.63, 8.26, 23.2, 12.4 and 64.9 ng g^–1, respectively. Levels of DEHA and DEHP varied widely, ranging from 1.4 to 6010 ng g^–1 and from 14.4 to 714 ng g^–1, respectively. High levels of DEHA were found mainly in the composite samples where the individual food items used to prepare the composite were likely packaged in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) wrapping film, while the highest DEHP levels were found in the vegetable and fruit samples.     

2013年内蒙古地区市售植物油中3种邻苯二甲酸酯含量调查分析

目的 了解内蒙古地区市售植物油中邻苯二甲酸酯(phthalates esters, PAEs)类物质的污染情况,为加强食品安全监督管理提供依据。方法 2013年期间,在内蒙古地区各大型超市、农贸市场和食品商店等流通领域抽取不同品牌的桶装植物油共150份。采用固相萃取-气相色谱-质谱法(gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-MS)测定了植物油样本中3种邻苯二甲酸酯类化合物(邻苯二甲酸二异壬酯(Dinonylphthalate,DINP、邻苯二甲酸二正丁酯(dibutyl phthalate, DBP)和邻苯二甲酸(2-乙基已基)酯(bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate,DEHP))的浓度。结果 在采集的150份样品中,共有46份样品检测出邻苯二甲酸酯类物质DBP与DEHP,总检出率为30.67%,其中,DBP和DEHP的检出率分别为18.67%和20.00%,最高检出浓度分别为46.50 mg/kg和0.85 mg/kg,DBP检出超标样品15份,超标率为10.00%; DINP在所有样本中没有检出。结论 在2013年期间,内蒙古地区市售植物油中3种PAEs的总体检出率不高,但是个别样本中DBP的检出值较高。邻苯二甲酸酯类属于环境激素类,被我国卫生行政部们列入可能违法添加的非食用物质和易滥用的食品添加剂名单,因此,应加强植物油生产过程的监管及食品包装材料对植物油的污染,定期开展监测工作。     

气相色谱-质谱联用法直接测定植物油料中邻苯二甲酸酯类塑化剂

建立有机溶剂萃取、N-正丙基乙二胺（N-(n-propyl) ethylenediamine,PSA）玻璃固相萃取柱净化、内标法定量、气相色谱-质谱法直接测定植物油料中邻苯二甲酸二甲酯（dimethyl phthalate,DMP）、邻苯二甲酸二乙酯（diethyl phthalate,DEP）、邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯（di-iso-butyl phthalate,DIBP）、邻苯二甲酸二丁酯（dibutylphthalate,DBP）、邻苯二甲酸丁基苄基酯（butyl benzyl phthalate,BBP）、邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基）己酯（di(2-ethtlhexyl) phthalate,DEHP）和邻苯二甲酸正辛酯（di-n-octyl phthalate,DNOP）7 种邻苯二甲酸酯的方法。该方法在0.01～2.0 mg/L范围内具有良好的线性关系,相关系数R2在0.999 8～1.000 0之间,仪器检出限（RSN=3）为0.01～0.02 μg/L,定量限（RSN=10）为0.03～0.06 μg/L。7 种目标物在0.1、0.5、1.0 mg/kg的加标水平下平均回收率为77.2%～98.8%,相对标准偏差为0.62%～9.37%（n=6）。采用本方法对不同种类、不同产地的76 个植物油料样品中7 种邻苯二甲酸酯类塑化剂含量进行测定。结果表明：所有受检植物油料样品中均检出DBP和DEHP,范围分别为（0.015±0.002）～（0.584±0.012） mg/kg和（0.085±0.006）～（2.334±0.016） mg/kg,检出率均为100%（76/76）;DIBP、DEP、DMP、BBP、DNOP检出率分别为98.7%（75/76）、64.5%（49/76）、63.2%（48/76）、32.9%（25/76）、5.3%（4/76）。17 个油料样品中DBP含量超出国家标准限量（≤0.3 mg/kg）,超标率为22.4%;1 个油料样品中DEHP含量超出国家标准限量（≤1.5 mg/kg）,超标率为1.3%。
