Small amounts of cyclic monomers and oligomers are present in polyamide (PA)-based kitchen utensils. In this study, we isolated eight PA-based cyclic monomers and oligomers from kitchen utensils made from PA6 (a polymer of ε-caprolactam) and PA66 (a polymer of 1,6-diaminohexane and adipic acid). Their structures were identified using high-resolution mass spectrometry and 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and their residual levels in PA-based kitchen utensils and degree of migration into food simulants were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry using purchased PA6 monomer and isolated PA66 monomers, and isolated PA6 and PA66 oligomers as calibration standards. Their total residual levels among 23 PA-based kitchen utensils made from PA6, PA66, and copolymers of PA6 and PA66 (PA6/66) ranged from 7.8 to 20 mg/g. Using water, 20% ethanol, and olive oil as food simulants, the total migration levels of the PA monomers and oligomers ranged from 0.66 to 100 μg/cm2 under most examined conditions. However, the total migration levels of the PA66 monomer and oligomers from PA66 and PA6/66 kitchen utensils into 20% ethanol at 95°C were very high (1,700 and 2,200 μg/cm2, respectively) due to swelling by high-temperature ethanol.
基于聚酰胺(PA)的厨房用具中存在少量环状单体和低聚物。在本研究中,我们从由PA6(ε-己内酰胺的聚合物)和PA66(1,6-二氨基己烷与己二酸的聚合物)制成的厨房用具中分离出8种基于PA的环状单体和低聚物。使用高分辨率质谱以及1H-和13C-核磁共振光谱对它们的结构进行了鉴定,并以购买的PA6单体、分离出的PA66单体以及分离出的PA6和PA66低聚物作为校准标准品,通过高效液相色谱/质谱法定量了它们在基于PA的厨房用具中的残留水平以及向食品模拟物中的迁移程度。在23种由PA6、PA66以及PA6和PA66的共聚物(PA6/66)制成的基于PA的厨房用具中,它们的总残留水平在7.8至20 mg/g之间。使用水、20%乙醇和橄榄油作为食品模拟物,在大多数检测条件下,PA单体和低聚物的总迁移水平在0.66至100 μg/cm2之间。然而,由于高温乙醇导致溶胀,PA66单体和低聚物从PA66和PA6/66厨房用具向95°C的20%乙醇中的总迁移水平非常高(分别为1700和2200 μg/cm2)。
