Bisphenol A in Indian Take-Out Soups: Compliance, Implications and Sustainable Solutions
This research investigates the migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) from packaging containers into take-out vegetable soups and premixed tomato soups through three replicate studies. The samples underwent extraction using solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges, followed by separation on a C18 column. BPA...

| description | This research investigates the migration of Bisphenol A (BPA) from packaging containers into take-out vegetable soups and premixed tomato soups through three replicate studies. The samples underwent extraction using solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges, followed by separation on a C18 column. BPA concentrations in the soups were assessed at 15, 30, and 45-minute intervals, consistently revealing undetectable levels (<LOQ). Plastic packaging samples, known for BPA utilization in production, remained below the Specific Migration Limit (SML) set at 0.5 mg.kg-1, irrespective of material type or contact conditions. These results, conforming to EC regulations, suggest that food-contact materials (FCMs) in the Indian market pose no apparent health hazards during initial use. The absence of detectable BPA levels is attributed to the limited time-temperature relationship during the study. However, caution is warranted as BPA migration can occur with repeated use, emphasizing the importance of considering material quality and intended use of FCMs. The study underscores the significance of understanding BPA leaching under varied conditions, necessitating further research to explore long-term implications. Overall, the findings provide valuable insights for regulators, manufacturers, and consumers, contributing to the ongoing discourse on food safety and using plastic materials in food packaging. |
