Headspace Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) in Contact Packaging Materials Using the HT3 Automated Headspace Analyzer

Regulatory agencies such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and the European Union (EU) have published regulations and provided guidance on the use of chemicals in food packaging materials. Teledyne Tekmar provides method parameters for the HT3TM Automated Headspace Analyzer for the determination of volatile compounds that may be contained in food contact packaging materials under various conditions. In this analysis both temperature and mixing parameters were investigated to determine which Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) may be released when subjected to these conditions.
