Photoinitiators (PIs) are components of UV-cured inks widely used in printing of food packaging. These substances can migrate into food and may be a hazard to human health. High-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) has been used for analysis of PIs and amine synergists in food packaging. Analysis was performed with a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm × 3.2 mm i.d., 5 μm particle size) with a binary mobile phase gradient prepared from acetonitrile and Milli-Q water. The flow rate was 0.5 mL min(-1). The method enables separation of fourteen PIs and amine synergists in a single run. The method was validated for linearity, repeatability, and limits of detection and quantification. Excellent sensitivity (LODs ≤ 1.56 μg dm(2)) and appropriate repeatability (RSD (n = 10) <0.9%) were achieved. Different types of food packaging material including plastic films, cardboard, and cans were analyzed and PIs were detected in 47% of the samples tested (n = 17). Positive samples were confirmed by use of LC-MS-MS in positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode.
光引发剂(PIs)是广泛用于食品包装印刷的紫外光固化油墨的成分。这些物质会迁移到食品中,可能对人体健康构成危害。高效液相色谱-二极管阵列检测法(HPLC-DAD)已用于分析食品包装中的光引发剂和胺增效剂。分析使用Kromasil C18柱(250 mm×3.2 mm内径,5μm粒径),以乙腈和超纯水配制二元流动相梯度。流速为0.5 mL min⁻¹。该方法能够在一次运行中分离出14种光引发剂和胺增效剂。该方法在线性、重复性以及检测限和定量限方面得到了验证。实现了出色的灵敏度(检测限≤1.56 μg dm⁻²)和适当的重复性(相对标准偏差(n = 10)<0.9%)。对包括塑料薄膜、纸板和罐头在内的不同类型食品包装材料进行了分析,在所测试的47%的样品(n = 17)中检测到了光引发剂。阳性样品通过在正电喷雾电离(ESI)模式下使用液相色谱-串联质谱法(LC-MS-MS)进行确认。
