doi:10.1016/j.aca.2003.11.081engNerin, C.Asensio, E.Behaviour of Organic Pollutants in Paper and Board Samples Intended to Be in Contact With FoodART-2004-54741This paper deals with the study of volatile compounds present in a set of three paper and board (P&B) samples of different composition, surface treatment, grammage and thickness. The volatile compounds released by the packaging material (P&B) can be trapped on the food and may then affect the safety and health of consumers. To evaluate if the recycled P&B could be used as food packaging material, adsorption studies have been performed with a selection of chemical substances. The adsorption isotherms are provided. Partition coefficients between paper and air have been calculated for a series of volatile compounds used as model compounds to represent different families of contaminants commonly present in P&B. Values from 4 to 3243 were obtained at different temperatures. The analysis of volatile compounds have been carried out by automatic headspace coupled on-line with GC/MS in SIM mode. The results obtained are shown and discussed.2004http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/13046010.1016/j.aca.2003.11.081http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/130460oai:zaguan.unizar.es:130460Analytica Chimica Acta 508, 2 (2004), 185-191by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
