Material and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 12: Determination of 1,3-benzenedimethanamine in food simulants

This document, part of EN 13130, specifies a procedure for the determination of 1,3-benzenedimethanamine (also known as 3-(aminomethyl)-benzylamine or m-xylylene diamine (m-XDA)) monomer, hereinafter referred to as m-XDA, in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil. The level of m-XDA monomer determined is expressed as milligrams of m-XDA per kilogram of food simulant in the above mentioned food simulants.
NOTE   In addition to the instability of m-XDA observed in olive oil, the test laboratory could not detect any
m-XDA peak from the olive oil work-up procedure. Based on some control checks, the assumption of the test laboratory was that the extraction from the olive oil does not work. Therefore, it is recommended that the food simulant 95 % ethanol or iso-octane be applied as substitute fatty simulants instead of olive oil.  It is believed that 95 % ethanol and iso-octane can be treated in the same way as 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil simulant, respectively. Corresponding investigations were not possible within the project.

Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Substanzen in Kunststoffen, die Beschränkungen unterliegen - Teil 12: Bestimmung von 1,3-Benzendimethanamin in Prüflebensmitteln

Diese Technische Spezifikation, Teil der EN 13130, legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von monomerem 1,3-Benzendimethanamin (auch bekannt als 3 (Aminomethyl)-Benzylamin oder m Xylylendiamin (m XDA)), im Folgenden bezeichnet als m XDA, in den Prüflebensmitteln Wasser, 3%ige Essigsäure (m/V) in wässriger Lösung, 15%iges Ethanol (Volumenanteil) in wässriger Lösung und Olivenöl fest. Der ermittelte Gehalt an monomerem m XDA wird in Milligramm m XDA je Kilogramm Prüflebensmittel in den vorstehend erwähnten Prüflebensmitteln angegeben.
ANMERKUNG   Außer der beobachteten Instabilität von m XDA in Olivenöl, konnte das Prüflaboratorium keinen aus dem Aufarbeitungsverfahren von Olivenöl stammenden m XDA Peak nachweisen. Die Annahme des Prüflaboratoriums, dass keine Extraktion aus dem Olivenöl erfolgt, beruht auf einigen Kontrollprüfungen. Deshalb wird empfohlen, anstelle von Olivenöl als fettige Ersatzprüflebensmittel 95%iges Ethanol oder Isooctan zu verwenden. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass 95%iges Ethanol und Isooctan auf dieselbe Art und Weise wie die entsprechenden Prüflebensmittel 15%iges (Volumenanteil) Ethanol in wässriger Lösung und Olivenöl behandelt werden können. Im Rahmen des Projektes waren keine entsprechenden Untersuchungen möglich.

Matériaux et objets en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Substances dans les matières plastiques soumises à des limitations - Partie 12 : Détermination du 1,3-benzénediméthanamine dans les simulants d'aliments

Le présent document, qui fait partie de l'EN 13130, spécifie une procédure de détermination du 1,3-benzénediméthanamine (également connu sous le nom de 3-(aminométhyl)-benzylamine ou m-xylylène diamine (m-XDA), ci-après désigné m-XDA) dans les simulants d'aliments suivants : eau, solution aqueuse d'acide acétique à 3 % (m/v), solution aqueuse d'éthanol à 15 % (v/v) et huile d'olive. La teneur en monomère de m-XDA déterminée est exprimée en milligrammes de m-XDA par kilogramme de simulant d'aliments (l'un des simulants décrits ci-avant).
NOTE   Outre l'instabilité du m-XDA dans le simulant à base d'huile d'olive, le laboratoire d'essai n'a pas réussi à détecter de pic de m-XDA à l'aide de la méthode utilisée pour l'huile d'olive. Sur la base de plusieurs vérifications, le laboratoire a conclu que l'extraction à partir de l'huile d'olive ne fonctionne pas. Il est par conséquent recommandé de remplacer l'huile d'olive par le simulant à base d'éthanol à 95 % ou d'iso-octane. L'éthanol à 95 % et l'iso-octane peuvent en principe être traités respectivement comme la solution aqueuse d'éthanol à 15 % (v/v) et le simulant à base d'huile d'olive. Il n'a pas été possible de vérifier ce point dans le cadre du projet.

Foreword

This document (CEN/TS 13130-12:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 194

“Utensils in contact with food”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.

This part of EN 13130 has been prepared within the Standards, Measurement and Testing project,

MAT1-CT92-0006, “Development of Methods of Analysis for Monomers” and has been prepared by

Subcommittee (SC 1) of TC 194 "Utensils in contact with food" as one of a series of test methods for

plastics materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs.

This standard is intended to support Directives 2002/72/EC [1], 89/109/EEC [2], 82/711/EEC [3] and

Introduction

1,3-benzenedimethanamine (also known as 3-(aminomethyl)-benzylamine or m-xylylene diamine

(m-XDA)), C H N , PM/Ref-No. 13000, hereinafter referred to as m-XDA, is a monomer used in the

8 12 2

manufacture of certain plastics materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs.

After manufacture, residual m-XDA monomer can remain in the polymer and may migrate into

foodstuffs coming into contact with the plastics material or article.

NOTE However the following should be taken into account when carrying out a migration test: Stability tests

in spiked olive oil food simulant carried out under test conditions 10 d at 40 °C indicated that m-XDA is not stable

in the fat simulant, presumably due to chemical reaction with the olive oil and/or oxygen. Typically a recovery of

only 25 % was obtained under these test conditions. Therefore, even though this analytical method works in

principle with olive oil as a food simulant, the migration test using olive oil or another fat simulant can provide

false-negative results. Therefore, the method should only be applied in case of short exposure periods with olive

oil and if applied, a recovery check with spiked olive oil applying the same time/temperature migration test

conditions is recommended, see also the NOTE in Clause 1.
The method has been tested by a second laboratory.

1 Scope

This document, part of EN 13130, specifies a procedure for the determination of 1,3-

benzenedimethanamine (also known as 3-(aminomethyl)-benzylamine or m-xylylene diamine (m-

XDA)) monomer, hereinafter referred to as m-XDA, in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v aqueous

acetic acid, 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil. The level of m-XDA monomer determined is

expressed as milligrams of m-XDA per kilogram of food simulant in the above mentioned food

simulants.

NOTE In addition to the instability of m-XDA observed in olive oil, the test laboratory could not detect any

m-XDA peak from the olive oil work-up procedure. Based on some control checks, the assumption of the test

laboratory was that the extraction from the olive oil does not work. Therefore, it is recommended that the food

simulant 95 % ethanol or iso-octane be applied as substitute fatty simulants instead of olive oil. It is believed that

95 % ethanol and iso-octane can be treated in the same way as 15 % v/v aqueous ethanol and olive oil simulant,

respectively. Corresponding investigations were not possible within the project.
2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated

references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced

document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 13130-1:2004, Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs – Plastics substances subject to

limitation – Part 1: Guide to test methods for the specific migration of substances from plastics to

foods and food simulants and the determination of substances in plastics and the selection of

conditions of exposure to food simulants.
3 Principle

m-XDA in aqueous simulant test samples is determined, following bis-derivatization with

fluorescamine, by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection.

m-XDA in olive oil test samples is extracted with 3 % w/v aqueous acetic acid and determined in the

same way. Quantification is relative to external standards. The identity of m-XDA is confirmed by

mono-derivatization with less fluorescamine leading to a second peak in the HPLC chromatograms

obtained from samples, and by comparison with authentic samples.
