Abstract

Plastics are extensively utilized in the food packaging industry, where they come into direct contact withfood products. During processing or storage, the infl uence of physical factors may cause these plasticsto release chemicals into food. This study applied the testing conditions outlined in the Bureau of IndianStandards (BIS) method IS9845:1998 to evaluate the migration of bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical, from plastic containers intended for food contact. We selected three types ofpolymers for analysis: polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP). Theinvestigation involved the use of fi ve different food simulants under a variety of temperature and storageduration conditions. The BPA that migrated into the simulants was extracted via solid phase extraction(SPE) and analysed using a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. Dataanalysis and interpretation were performed using the SPSS and R software packages. The resultssuggest that aqueous food substances, regardless of their acidity, are more susceptible to BPAcontamination when in contact with PC containers subjected to elevated temperatures and/or extendedstorage periods.
