“…Since then, residues of other UV filters such as benzophenone (BP) have also been found in packaged foods [2][3][4][5][6]. Even though most of them are not considered extremely dangerous due to their low concentration levels in food, there is a great preoccupation with the possible damaging effect caused by a daily exposition to a high variety of these toxic compounds, which have been associated with endocrine activity, cancer and contact sensitization [7]. For this reason, the European Union has established legislation to regulate the materials that are in contact with foods and to minimize the specific migration limits of some of these compounds [8].…”

“…Food-contact materials must not transfer their components into the foods in unacceptable quantities. The safety in the use of polymeric materials is a subject of concern due to the transfer of plastic material constituents to the food by a diffusion process called migration, which is a term used to describe the transfer of components from a certain material to the foodstuff in contact [7]. A compound placed in these materials may migrate either because it did not react during manufacturing or it was released as a consequence of degradation by the contact with foodstuff or environment such as food acidity or UV light.…”

Field-Amplified Sample Injection-Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography for the Determination of Benzophenones in Food Simulants

A field-amplified sample injection-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (FASI-MEKC) method for the determination of 14 benzophenones (BPs) in a food simulant used in migration studies of food packaging materials was developed, allowing almost baseline separation in less than 21 min. The use of a 10 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution as sample matrix was mandatory to achieve FASI enhancement of the analyzed BPs. A 21-to 784-fold sensitivity enhancement was achieved with FASI-MEKC, obtaining limits of detection down to 5.1-68.4 µg/L, with acceptable run-to-run precisions (RSD values lower than 22.3%) and accuracy (relative errors lower than 21.0%). Method performance was evaluated by quantifying BPs in the food simulant spiked at 500 µg/L (bellow the established specific migration limit for BP (600 µg/L) by EU legislation). For a 95% confidence level, no statistical differences were observed between found and spiked concentrations (probability at the confidence level, p value, of 0.55), showing that the proposed FASI-MEKC method is suitable for the analysis of BPs in food packaging migration studies at the levels established by EU legislation.

The study of physiological disruptions induced upon exposure to a given chemical substance has emerged as a research field. The assessment of the effects of chemical substances at low concentration levels is not always doable using classical toxicological studies. The use of metabolomics approaches integrated with conventional toxicological studies is expected to provide valuable information for risk assessment. This review recapitulates some of the recent publications related to the use of metabolomics to study the effect of bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates exposure. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics approaches revealed the principal metabolic pathways such as amino acids, energy storage compounds, or organic osmolytes were altered. To investigate phthalates and BPA effects is relevant to assist in potential correlations between exposure and adverse human effects and to provide data and evidence for effective regulatory policies and risk exposure assessment.
