SELECTION OF FOODSTUFFS -Fundamentals

To classify foodstuffs/food groups with respect to those physico-chemical properties which can be expected to influence the behaviour of food as a sorption matrix for the uptake of migrants. To select a list of approximately 15 to 20 (max. 25) foodstuffs which can be considered to berepresentative based on the following criteria:

with respect to the spectrum of migration relevant physico-chemical parametersaccording to up-to-date and available food consumptionstatistics and market share. This should at least includethe foodstuffs most frequently consumed and deservetherefore consideration at higher priority.

Establishing the final list of foodstuffs

From the aspects considered before the two representative and established lists of foodstuffs may vary to a small or even large extent. Some harmonisation was necessary to end up with one representative list which fulfilled the best the purpose of this project idea which is to model migration into foodstuffs for exposure estimates as broad and general as possible.

Physico-chemical specifications of selected foodstuffs

establish the representative physico-chemical parameters for the foodstuffsfinally selected before

The measurements were done in the majority of cases according to standard or state-of-the-art methods or were adopted from the labelling of the foodstuff.

Milk powder

Dents in the large particle have been caused by small hard dry particles

A small particle (surrounded by a 'crater' rim) has been captured by a large particle.

Difference of milk powders depending on drying process

Instantization results in agglomeration of powder particles

Roller-dried milk particles are produced as fragments of a dried milk sheet.

Questions

Is there a correlation between themigrational key parameters diffusioncoefficients and partition coefficients of theselected model migrants and foodcategories specified by physico-chemicalproperties?Have food categories and theircorresponding model migrants to berevised caused by measured migrationalvalues?
