Abstract: n total, 37 samples of flexible PVC films were analyzed for specific migration of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) from packaging to fatty foods, using simulant. The Resolution n. 17, of March 17, 2008, published by ANVISA, establishes specific migration limits for DEHP in 1.5 mg kg−1 of simulant and for DEHA in 18 mg kg−1 of simulant. The migration test was performed through contact between a 1-dm2 PVC film cutout and 100 mL of food simulant, ethanol 95% (v/v), for 48 h at 20ºC. The migrations of DEHP and DEHA were determined by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector and a fused silica column internally coated with a stationary phase consisting of 5% phenylmethylsilicone. The results from the samples showed specific migration of DEHP ranging between not detectable (< 0.35 mg kg−1) and 304 mg kg−1 of food simulant and between not detectable (< 2.23 mg kg−1) and 231 mg kg−1 of food simulant for DEHA. Among the tested samples, 95% had results above the limit established by legislation.
