Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 9: Determination of acetic acid, vinyl ester in food simulants
This document, part 9 of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination of vinyl acetate in the four conventional EU food simulants, water, 10 % (v/v) ethanol aqueous solution; 3 % (w/v) acetic acid aqueous solution and olive oil or an approved substitute. The level of vinyl acetate monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of vinyl acetate per kilogram of food simulant. The method is appropriate for the quantitative determination of vinyl acetate in approximate analyte concentration range of 1,2 mg/kg to 24 mg/kg food simulant.NOTE 1 The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to other fatty food s
