Βisphenol A and its analogs migrated from contact materials into food and beverages: An updated review in sample preparation approaches

Abstract

Bisphenols are used as monomers in the production of plastic materials, and they are likely to be detected in food contact materials. Due to their migration from these plastic packaging materials into food and beverages, the organoleptic properties of the products are changing and plenty of harmful effects on human health are caused, especially if consumers are exposed to higher levels of bisphenols than those established by legislation. However, because of their trace‐level presence, their determination into food and beverage matrices is rather difficult. For this reason, sensitive, simple, rapid, and green methods are required to extract and preconcentrate the analytes of interest. Effective and representative tests are required as well, to evaluate the migration of bisphenols from plastic materials under realistic usage conditions. This review provides a detailed background of bisphenol A chemistry and legislation. Furthermore, it refers to bisphenol A migration test procedures and the recent advances of the last decade in the extraction of bisphenols from various matrices by using different sample preparation techniques prior to their chromatographic determination.

Understanding How Chemical Pollutants Arise and Evolve in the Brewing Supply Chain: A Scoping Review

“…They include bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol AP (BPAP), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol Z (BFZ), and bisphenol P (BPP). BPA ([4,4′-(Propane-2,2-diyl]diphenol) ( Figure 7 ) and its derivatives are the main constituents of PC plastics and epoxy resins and have been widely used in the manufacture of packaging materials such as storage containers, baby bottles, oven bags, and metal cans [ 178 ]. As mentioned above, BPA and other BPs are used as monomers in the production of plastic materials and are likely to be detected in food contact materials (FCMs).…”

Development of an On-Column Trace Enrichment Method for the Determination of Sub-μg/L Bisphenol A in Bottled Water by RP-HPLC with Fluorescent Detection

“…Conventionally, in HPLC sample extracts are normally obtained by either SPE or liquid/liquid extraction [35][36][37]. Te resulting extract is then taken down to dryness under nitrogen, following, commonly, a preconcentration step, such as rotary evaporation, and the sample residue is reconstituted in a relatively small volume of mobile phase, such as a 1.0 mL.…”
