Contaminant monitoring in food is a key element in ensuring safety, quality and regulatory compliance throughout the entire supply chain.
Among the substances receiving increasing attention there are phthalates, a family of chemical compounds widely used as plasticizers.
Phthalates are employed to make plastic materials more flexible and durable, but they are not chemically bound to the matrices in which they are incorporated. This means that, over time, they can migrate into the products they come into contact with including food.
Therefore, monitoring phthalates has become an essential activity for food‑sector companies, both for risk‑management purposes and to comply with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
In this context, Neotron has implemented the analysis of DiHP (Diisoheptyl phthalate, C7 isomer mixture) in vegetable oils using GC‑MS/MS, with an LOQ of 0.1 mg/kg, enabling the detection of very low trace levels of this contaminant.
