Evaluation of phthalate migration potential in vacuum-packed
Researchers investigated the potential for phthalate chemicals to migrate from vacuum packaging into benthic fish during storage. The study used micro-Raman spectroscopy and detected microplastic particles on the packaging surface, confirming a possible contamination pathway. Evidence indicates that storage time and packaging type influence the extent of phthalate migration, raising concerns about chemical exposure from plastic food packaging.
Effects of Packaging Material Type, Storage Time and Lipid Content on Phthalate Migration in Smoked Fish Meat
Researchers investigated phthalate migration from six different plastic packaging materials into smoked fish over varying storage times and lipid contents. The study found that packaging type, storage duration, and fat content of the product all influenced the level of phthalate transfer into the food.
Evaluation of different packaging methods and storage temperature on MPs abundance and fillet quality of rainbow trout
Researchers packed rainbow trout fillets using different packaging methods and stored them at refrigeration and freezing temperatures for 21 days, finding that packaging type strongly influenced microplastic contamination levels — with chitosan film providing the lowest MP counts — while frozen storage actually increased detected MP levels despite better chemical quality.
Phthalate and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Levels in Liquid Ingredients of Packaged Fish Sold in Turkish Markets
Researchers tested canned and packaged tuna, salmon, sardine, and mackerel from Turkish markets for phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Detectable levels of plasticizer chemicals and PAHs were found across multiple fish and liquid medium types, raising concern about chemical contamination of canned seafood through plastic packaging materials.
Migration of microplastics from plastic packaging into foods and its potential threats on human health
This review examined how microplastics migrate from plastic food packaging into the foods we eat. Researchers found that factors like temperature, food acidity, and contact time increase the release of plastic particles and chemical additives from packaging materials. The study raises concerns about long-term health effects from daily microplastic exposure through packaged foods, including potential accumulation of harmful monomers in the body.
The significance of trophic transfer of microplastics in the accumulation of plastic additives in fish: An experimental study using brominated flame retardants and UV stabilizers
Researchers found that trophic transfer through food is a more significant route than direct water exposure for fish accumulation of plastic-derived chemicals, including brominated flame retardants and UV stabilizers associated with microplastics.
Degradation and Migration in Olive Oil Packaged in Polyethylene Terephthalate under Thermal Treatment and Storage Conditions
Researchers studied how thermal treatment and storage conditions affect the migration of contaminants from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging into olive oil. The study found that higher temperatures accelerated the degradation of PET and increased the migration of potentially harmful compounds into the oil, raising food safety concerns about plastic-packaged cooking oils.
Effect of temperature and sunlight on the leachability potential of BPA and phthalates from plastic litter under marine conditions
Researchers exposed six plastic polymer types to simulated marine conditions (UV and heat) for 140 days and measured the leaching of bisphenol A and phthalate plasticizers, finding that temperature and sunlight substantially increase the release of these endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Assessment of potential health risk from microplastic contamination in packaged frozen seafood
Researchers analyzed six types of packaged frozen seafood and found microplastics in all samples, totaling 421 particles predominantly composed of PTFE, PVC, and PVA polymers. Risk assessment revealed that European pilchard and saithe posed the highest potential exposure, varying with regional consumption patterns. The findings highlight the need for better monitoring and safer packaging practices across the frozen seafood supply chain.
Thermal processing implications on microplastics in rainbow trout fillet
This study tested whether sous-vide cooking of rainbow trout fillets at different temperatures and durations affects microplastic abundance or migration into the fish. Results showed thermal processing altered the physical state of microplastics present in the fillets and influenced estimates of human microplastic intake from cooked fish.
Microplastics in vacuum packages of frozen and glazed icefish (Neosalanx spp.): A freshwater fish intended for human consumption
Microplastics were detected in vacuum-packaged frozen icefish sold in Italian supermarkets and imported from China, representing one of the first reports of microplastic contamination in a freshwater-origin food product and suggesting packaging as a potential contamination pathway.
Assessing the Migration of BPA and Phthalic Acid from Take-out Food Containers: Implications for Health and Environmental Sustainability in India
Researchers developed an analytical method to measure how much bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalic acid migrate from common plastic food containers into food simulants under realistic temperature conditions, finding that prolonged heat exposure substantially increased leaching — especially from polyethylene pouches. A microbial bioassay further confirmed the mutagenic potential of the migrated plasticizers, strengthening the evidence that plastic food packaging poses direct chemical risks to human health.
Leaching kinetics and bioaccumulation potential of additive-derived organophosphate esters in microplastics
Researchers studied the leaching kinetics of organophosphate ester additives from microplastics in aquatic environments, finding that these flame retardants and plasticizers are released at rates that depend on temperature and water chemistry, with implications for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms.
Integrative models for environmental forecasting of phthalate migration from microplastics in aquaculture environments
Researchers studied how six common phthalate esters leach from plastic aquaculture tools made of PET, PP, and PE over 30 days. They found significant leaching of these chemicals, with turbulence and temperature being the strongest influencing factors, and developed kinetic models to predict phthalate migration under real-world conditions. The findings suggest that plastic tools used in aquaculture are a meaningful source of phthalate contamination in farmed seafood environments.
Unveiling Microplastic Leaching from Food Packaging Polyethylene Covers: A Preliminary Study
Researchers investigated microplastic leaching from polyethylene food packaging materials into food simulants under different temperature and contact time conditions.
