“…DEHP and DBP were found at concentrations from 22 to 360 lg kg À1 and from 77 to 1643 lg kg À1 , respectively, in samples of commercial vegetable oils (Nanni et al, 2011). In a study by Cavaliere, Macchione, Sindona, and Tagarelli (2008), the concentrations of phthalates were determined to range from <LOD to 490 lg kg À1 for DBP, from <LOD to 4700 lg kg À1 for DEHP, from <LOD to 1750 lg kg À1 for BBP and <LOD for DEP and DOP. The European Union has established a specific migration limit of 0.3 mg kg À1 for DBP.…”

“…The SPME technique, developed by Belardi and Pawliszyn (1989), is free of organic solvent, is simple, sensitive (Li, Zhong, Xu, & Sun, 2006) and widely applied in the determination of organic pollutants in food samples (Cavaliere, Macchione, Sindona, & Tagarelli, 2008). The principle behind SPME is the distribution of analytes between 0308-8146/$ -see front matter Ó 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.…”

a b s t r a c tIn this study, a simple and fast method was developed for the analysis of trihalomethanes (THMs) in soft drink samples using headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography (HS-SPME-GC). The influence of factors, such as, extraction temperature, extraction time, addition of sodium chloride and agitation speed on extraction yield was studied through an univariate experimental design strategy. Satisfactory recoveries (P90%) and precision, calculated as the relative standard deviations (RSD 6 11%), were obtained. The limit of detection (LOD) between 0.22 and 0.46 lg L À1 was achieved for THMs along with a wide linear range of concentrations. The applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated by analysing 74 real soft-drink samples. Since no matrix effects were observed, quantification could readily be carried out by external calibration with deionized water standards.

“…Although, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods for phthalates have been described [23,24], gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is the preferred method for phthalate measurement due to the high reproducibility and specificity [13,14,[25][26][27][28]. In 2009, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the Institute for Reference Material and Measurements (European Commission) published a review of methods to measure phthalates in food [29].…”

“…DEHP is widely used as a plasticizer in manufacturing of PVC articles due to its suitable properties and the low cost. DEHP became a ubiquitous pollutant in the environment and, particularly, in foods [13,14]. In mid May 2011, Taiwanese authorities reported that two Taiwanese companies had illegally added DEHP to sport drinks, fruit juice, tea beverages, fruit jam and food powder [15].…”
