The aim of the present study was to determine the migration kinetics of one photoinitiator, benzophenone, and two optical brighteners, Uvitex OB and 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene (DPBD), from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films into cake. Transfer was assessed by both direct contact and also the vapour phase.
To perform the migration tests by direct contact, plastic films enriched with the additives were placed between two cake slices. To evaluate the migration through the gas phase, cake and the fortified LDPE film were placed with no direct contact in a glass container that was hermetically closed. Samples were stored at different time–temperature conditions.
Target compounds were extracted from the films with ethanol (70°C, 24 h) and analysed by HPLC-DAD. Relevant parameters such as partition and diffusion coefficients between food and plastic film were calculated. The Arrhenius equation was applied to estimate the diffusion coefficient at any temperature.
The data indicate that migration of benzophenone occurs in a significant extent into cake by both direct contact and through the gas phase (no direct contact). Conversely, very little migration occurred for Uvitex OB by direct contact and none through the gas phase. Results for benzophenone suggest that migration through the gas phase should be considered when evaluating migration from food packaging materials into food. 相似文献
Migration from recycled paperboard was monitored after 2, 4 and 9 months of storage for six test foods industrially packed in five configurations, four with internal plastic films. After 9 months, the migration of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons into foods directly packed in the paperboard amounted to 30–52 mg/kg, which corresponded to 65%–80% of those of a volatility up to that of the n-alkane C24 in the paperboard. The concentration of the migrated aromatic hydrocarbons in the foods ranged from 5.5 to 9.4 mg/kg. More than half of this migration occurred in the first 2 months. Differences between the foods amounted to mostly less than a factor of 2 and seemed to be related to porosity or permeability more than fat content. Nine photoinitiators were detected in the paperboard, of which eight migrated into the packed food at up to 24%. Several plasticisers were present in the recycled paperboard, but only butyl phthalates showed significant migration. After 9 months, up to 40% of diisobutyl phthalate and 20% of dibutyl phthalate migrated into the food with direct contact. The internal polyethylene film hardly slowed migration, but the film and the tray absorbed approximately three times more mineral oil than the food, despite constituting merely 4% of the mass of the pack. Oriented polypropylene strongly slowed migration: The highest migration of saturated hydrocarbons measured after 9 months (2.3 mg/kg) corresponded to only 3% of the content in the paperboard and included migrated polyolefin oligomeric saturated hydrocarbons. Coating of polypropylene with an acrylate further slowed the migration, but the migration from the paperboard was still detectable in four of the six samples. Polyethylene terephthalate was a tight barrier. 相似文献
The efficiency of the photoinitiator system composed of safranine and triethanolamine for the polymerization of acrylamide in water was improved by the incorporation of onium salts. The phenylonium salts employed were diphenyliodonium chloride, triphenylsulfonium triflate, tetraphenyphosphonium chloride and tetraphenylarsonium chloride hydrate. Among them, diphenyliodonium presents the highest efficiency, followed by triphenylsulfonium. In an appropriate concentration of triethanolamine, the behavior of the sulfonium salt resembles that of iodonium. Tetraphenyphosphonium and tetraphenylarsonuim have little effect over the polymerization rate; however, interesting effects over the photophysical properties of the system were found. Two important conclusions emanate from the work: the phenylonium salts studied aggregate in water in a behavior similar to hydrotropes and several factors contribute to the accelerating effect of the onium salt on the polymerization rate. The main differences in the observed efficiency of the salts might reside in the redox potentials of the salts and in their ability to prevent the photobleaching of safranine in the presence of triethanolamine. 相似文献
A series of homodimeric hemicyanine dyes based on (p-dimethylaminostyryl)benzothiazolium, (p-dimethylaminostyryl)benzoxazolium, (p-dimethylaminostyryl)-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium residues were synthesized. Several photoredox pairs containing mono- and bichromophoric hemicyanine dyes, possessing benzothiazole, benzoxazole or indolinium group linked by 5 or 10 methylene groups have been evaluated as novel photoinitiators for free radical polymerization induced with the argon-ion laser visible emission. In tested photoredox pairs, hemicyanine dye acts as an electron acceptor and it is coupled with borate anion which is an electron donor. The photochemistry of the series of bichromophoric hemicyanine borates: 1,5-bis-[N,N′-(2,2′-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)styryl)benzothiazolium]pentane, 1,10-bis-[N,N′-(2,2′-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)styryl)benzothiazolium]decane (S5, S10), 1,5-bis-[N,N′-(2,2′-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)styryl)benzoxazolium]pentane, 1,10-bis-[N,N′-(2,2′-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)styryl)benzoxazolium]decane (O5, O10) and 1,5-bis-[N,N′-(2,2′-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)styryl)-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethyl-3H-indolium]pentane, 1,10-bis-[N,N′-(2,2′-(4-N,N-dimethylamino)styryl)-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethyl-3H-indolium]decane (I5, I10) was compared to the photochemistry of structurally related monochromophoric hemicyanine borates (S1, O1, I1). 相似文献
