2. 1. Migration from plastic food packaging during microwave heating

   Author : Jonas Alin; Minna Hakkarainen; Sahar Al-Malaika; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; migration; food packaging; microwave; degradation; food simulant; antioxidant;

   Abstract : Microwave heating of food has increased rapidly as a food processing technique. This increases the concern that chemicals could migrate from food packaging to food. The specific effect of microwave heating in contrast to conventional heating on overall and specific migration from common plastic food storage boxes was studied in this work. READ MORE

4. 2. Reuse and Recycling of Food Packaging - Odour Related Aspects of the Use and Misuse of PET Beverage Bottles

   Abstract : The reuse and closed-loop recycling of food packaging was studied in order to assess consumer safety and the sensory quality (e.g. taste and smell) of packaged food. READ MORE

5. 3. Metal Release and Corrosion of Stainless Steel in Simulated Food Contact

   Author : Neda Mazinanian; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Ingrid Milosev; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Knowledge on metal release behaviour of stainless steels used in food processing applications and cooking utensils is essential within the framework of human health risk assessments. Recently, a new European test guideline (the CoE protocol) has been implemented to ensure safety of metals and alloys in food contact, such as stainless steels. READ MORE

6. 4. Microwave heating effects on degradation and migration of additives from polypropylene packaging

   Author : Jonas Alin; Minna Hakkarainen; Jiebing Li; Anna Finne Wistrand; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The effect of different food types, polymer qualities and microwaves on the overall and specific migration during microwave heating of plastic packaging was investigated to better understand the packaging-food interactions and the effect of microwaves on food packaging. This work focuses on the migration of chemical compounds to food simulants from commercially available polypropylene packages. READ MORE
