Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Plastics substances subject to limitation - Part 13: Determination of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (Bisphenol A) in food simulants

This document, part of EN 13130, specifies a method for the determination of Bisphenol A in the food simulants water, 3 % w/v acetic acid aqueous, 15 % v/v ethanol aqueous solution and rectified olive oil. The level of Bisphenol A monomer determined is expressed as milligrams Bisphenol A per kilogram of food simulant. The method is applicable to the quantitative determination of Bisphenol A at a minimum level of 0,2 mg/kg to 0,7 mg per kilogram of food simulants.
NOTE   The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to the other fatty food simulants, sunflower oil and a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.

Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Substanzen in Kunststoffen, die Beschränkungen unterliegen - Teil 13: Bestimmung von 2,2-Bis(4-Hydroxyphenyl)Propan (Bisphenol A) in Prüflebensmitteln

Diese Technische Spezifikation, Teil der EN 13130, legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Bisphenol A in den Prüflebensmitteln Wasser, 3%ige Essigsäure (m/V) in wässriger Lösung, 15%iges Ethanol (Volumenanteil) in wässriger Lösung und rektifiziertes Olivenöl fest. Der ermittelte Gehalt an monomerem Bisphenol A wird in Milligramm Bisphenol A je Kilogramm Prüflebensmittel angegeben. Das Verfahren eignet sich zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Bisphenol A bei einem Mindestgehalt von 0,2 mg je Kilogramm Prüflebensmittel bis 0,7 mg je Kilogramm Prüflebensmittel.

Introduction
2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, hereinafter referred to as Bisphenol A, C H O , PM/Ref. 13480, is
15 16 2
a monomer used in the manufacture of certain plastics materials and articles intended to come into
contact with foodstuffs. After manufacture residual Bisphenol A can remain in the finished product and
may migrate into foodstuffs coming into contact with that product.
The method has been pre-validated by a collaborative trial with three laboratories.

1 Scope
This document, part of EN 13130, specifies a method for the determination of Bisphenol A in the food
simulants water, 3 % w/v acetic acid aqueous, 15 % v/v ethanol aqueous solution and rectified olive
oil. The level of Bisphenol A monomer determined is expressed as milligrams Bisphenol A per
kilogram of food simulant. The method is applicable to the quantitative determination of Bisphenol A
at a minimum level of 0,2 mg/kg to 0,7 mg per kilogram of food simulants.
NOTE The method should also be applicable to other aqueous food simulants as well as to the other fatty
food simulants, sunflower oil and a mixture of synthetic triglycerides.
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
The level of Bisphenol A in aqueous food simulants is determined by high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) with ultra violet (UV) detection. Olive oil test samples are extracted with a
mixture of water/methanol and the resultant solution analyzed by HPLC. Calibration is achieved by
analysis of relevant simulants containing known amounts of Bisphenol A. Confirmation of Bisphenol A
is carried out by diode array detection.

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
The level of Bisphenol A in aqueous food simulants is determined by high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) with ultra violet (UV) detection. Olive oil test samples are extracted with a
mixture of water/methanol and the resultant solution analyzed by HPLC. Calibration is achieved by
analysis of relevant simulants containing known amounts of Bisphenol A. Confirmation of Bisphenol A
is carried out by diode array detection.

4.2 Chemicals
4.2.1 n-Hexane
4.2.2 Methanol
4.2.3 Water, deionized
4.3 Solutions
4.3.1 Extraction solvent, methanol/water = 1:1
Measure 100 ml of methanol (4.2.2) and 100 ml of water (4.2.3) and mix.
4.3.2 Mobile phase for HPLC, methanol/water = 70:30
Measure 500 ml of methanol (4.2.2) and 215 ml of water (4.2.3) and mix.
4.3.3 Stock solution of Bisphenol A in methanol at a defined concentration of approximately
0,38 mg/ml
Weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg approximately 37,5 mg of Bisphenol A (4.1.1) into a 100 ml volumetric
flask. Dissolve the Bisphenol A in methanol and make up to the mark with methanol (4.2.2).
Calculate the concentration in micrograms of Bisphenol A per millilitre of solution.
Repeat the procedure to obtain a second stock solution.
NOTE The solution can be stored in a well closed container in dark for a maximum of 3 months at any
temperature between +20 °C and –20 °C.
5 Apparatus
NOTE An instrument or item of apparatus is listed only where it is special or made to a particular
specification, usual laboratory glassware and equipment being assumed to be available.
5.1 High performance liquid chromatograph, preferably, equipped with an automatic 20 µl loop
injector and a variable wavelength UV detector connected to an integrator.
5.2 HPLC column, capable of separating Bisphenol A fully from peaks originating from the
simulants and/or solvents used.
Appropriate operating conditions shall be established for the specific equipment used for the
determination.
