EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1186-13 testing. This European standard describes test methods for determining the overall migration from plastic materials and articles to fatty food simulants by total immersion of test samples in a fatty food simulant at temperatures between 100 °C and 175 °C for selected samples.
Also described is a procedure with a substitution test environment. In this substitution procedure, the mass of components adsorbed on modified polyphenylene oxide (MPPO) is taken as a measure to assess overall migration into olive oil.
The total immersion test method is written for use with a fatty food analogue, olive oil. The test method can also be used with other fatty food simulants, called simulant D, which is a synthetic blend of triglycerides, sunflower oil and corn oil, with appropriate modifications. These other fatty food simulants will produce different chromatograms for chromatograms of methyl esters of olive oil for similar methyl esters.
To obtain reproducible and reproducible results using the MPPO method, it may be necessary to measure the temperature of the test sample before starting the migration period. A suitable method should be established to measure the temperature of the test sample.
The methods described are most suitable for food contact products in the form of sheets and films, but can also be applied to a wide variety of articles and containers.
