Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 16: Determination of caprolactam and caprolactam salt in food simulants
This document, part 16 of EN 13130, specifies an analytical procedure for the determination ofcaprolactam in the food simulants distilled water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid,15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and rectified olive oil. The level of caprolactam monomer determined isexpressed as mg caprolactam/kg of food or food simulant. The method is appropriate for thequantitative determination of caprolactam in an approximate analyte concentration range of 1,5mg/kgto 30 mg per kilogram of food simulant.This method is also applicable to the determination of the specific migration of caprolactam sodiumsalt, PM/Ref No 14230, as caprolactam sodium salt instantaneously hyd
