Abstract

The volatile organic compounds emitted from food wrapping films when it was used at high temperatures. However, the testing method based on solvent extraction may not be suitable for determination of volatile organic compounds from food wrapping films. Therefore, thermal extraction device was investigated in the study for reflection of actual usage conditions at home and restaurant. In this study, PVC food wrapping films were exposed to normal use condition controlled from <TEX>$50^{\circ}C$</TEX> to <TEX>$120^{\circ}C$</TEX> and collected on sorbent trap. Then, emitted VOCs from the films were analyzed with On-column cryofocusing-GC/MS system. The major VOCs emitted from films were <TEX>$C_{12}-C_{18}$</TEX> paraffinic hydrocarbons, dimethylphthalate, alkylphenols, known as endocrine disrupting chemical, such as tetramethylbutylphenol, tert-butylphenol, and nonylphenol. The concentration of tetramethylbutylphenol emitted from PVC films was <TEX>$0.07ng/cm^2$</TEX> at <TEX>$50^{\circ}C$</TEX>, rapidly increased with temperature, <TEX>$3.94ng/cm^2$</TEX> at <TEX>$100^{\circ}C$</TEX>.
