title: Identification of potential migrants from samples of dual-ovenable plastics.
abstract: The analysis of samples of dual-ovenable cookware articles has identified chemicals with the potential to migrate into food. Samples were analysed by dynamic headspace analysis at 200 degrees C using a Tenax TA trap cooled in ice, and/or solvent extraction, followed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Plastics analysed were crystalline poly(ethyleneterephthlalate) (cPET), thermoset polyester, poly(ethersulphone) and poly (4-methyl-pent-1-ene) (TPX). The greatest number and quantity of chemicals with the potential to migrate were found in thermoset polyester.
