摘要
Karl Fischer titration has been used to eliminate the need to humidity-condition food contact plastics under test for overall migration into olive oil. The water content of the oil is measured before and after the migration test. This direct measure of the loss (or uptake) of water by the test plastic is then used in calculations of the overall migration. The use of Karl Fischer titration gives faster analysis with reduced labour input. The time savings varied from a few days to several weeks depending on the type of plastic. Karl Fischer titration is particularly useful in the high temperature testing of polar plastics where incomplete humidity conditioning can lead to erroneous results. The technique should be equally valuable when employing sunflower oil or the triglyceride HB307 in place of olive oil.
