Amines In Food Packaging
However when their amount in food is too high and detoxification ability is inhibited or disturbed biogenic amines could cause problem.
Amines in food packaging. The formation of paas from multilayer packaging materials consisting of aromatic polyurethane pu adhesives occurs from the reaction between residual isocyanic monomers that have migrated to the surface of the inner layer of the package and water molecules making contact with the same plastic surface. Intake of low amount of biogenic amines normally does not have harmful effect on human health. Levels of bas can be reduced by several methods such as packaging additives hydrostatic pressure irradiation pasteurization smoking starter culture oxidizing. Map 40 co 2 and 60 n 2 0 and 5.
To control concentration of bas in food decarboxylase activity for amino acids can be regulated. Dennis bankmann product development loctite liofol europe at henkel ag co. Yellowfin tuna thunnus albacares map 40 co 2 60 o 2 1 c. Kgaa will be telling us about paa.
The unprinted and printed multi layer plastic packaging laminates domestic and imported were examined in. In addition to plasticizers and mineral oils special attention has to be paid to primary aromatic amines paa. Food type packaging condition storage condition storage time reduction in the formation of biogenic amines reference. The magnitude of the migration of these substances from plastic food packaging consists a base for the evaluation of their compliance with the requirements of eu legislation and hazard for human health taking into account their migration into food.
Secondary amines in printing inks for food packaging regulation ec no 1935 2004 provides that materials and articles which in the finished product state are intended to come into contact or are brought into contact with foodstuffs and are intended for that purpose do not transfer their constituents to food in quantities. The aim of this study was to identify of primary aromatic amines paas and to determine their migration from plastic food packaging. No histamine formed strong inhibitory effect to histamine production and growth of morganella morganii and photobacterium phosphorium emborg and others 2005 garfish. Primary aromatic amines paas are substances that can be transferred from food packaging materials into foodstuffs and are possibly carcinogenic to humans.
However for foods subjected.
