Évaluation et gestion des risques–Matériaux d’emballage à contact alimentaire

Resume Les materiaux d’emballage a contact alimentaire jouent un role incontournable en matiere de conservation et de protection des denrees. Ils se caracterisent aussi par une innovation constante comme le developpement des materiaux actifs et intelligents. Enfin, ils ont une fonction marketing tres importante et se doivent d’etre valorisables. L’aptitude des materiaux a entrer en contact avec les aliments est menee sur les constituants de depart introduits dans une formulation (reglement europeen n° 1935/2004). L’objectif de cette publication consiste a etudier comment mieux apprehender le risque lie aux produits neoformes apparaissant au cours du procede de fabrication de l’emballage ou …

The consequences of physical post-treatments (microwave and electron-beam) on food/packaging interactions: A physicochemical and toxicological approach

IF 4.052; The safety of microwave and electron-beam treatments has been demonstrated, in regards to the formation of reaction products that could endanger human health. An integrated approach was used combining the potential toxicity of all the substances likely to migrate to their chemical characterizations. This approach was applied to polypropylene (PP) films prepared with a selection of additives. Components were identified by liquid and gas chromatography using a mass selective detector system. Their potential toxicity was assessed using three in vitro short-term bioassays and their migrations were carried out using a standards-based approach. After the electron-beam treatment some add…
