Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the non-intentionally added substances – formaldehyde and trace metals – at 4% acetic acid conditions in rubber and metallic packaging/utensils. The temperature effect on migration in rubber and metallic packaging/utensils was monitored at 60°C and 100°C under acidic (pH < 3) circumstances. The concentrations were: formaldehyde – 23.1 μg kg–1, lead – 13.41 μg kg–1, cadmium – 0.15 μg kg–1, total arsenic – 2.02 μg kg–1 and nickel – 2.92 μg kg–1 at 60°C and formaldehyde – 148.9 μg kg–1, lead – 17.04 μg kg–1, cadmium – 0.14 μg kg–1, total arsenic – 7.25 μg kg–1 and nickel – 8.7 μg kg–1 at 100°C. A significant difference was noticed in formaldehyde and total arsenic between both temperatures (p < 0.01), which was not present in other trace metals. In conclusion, formaldehyde and total arsenic were more sensitive with cooking temperature than the other metals.
