TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of food safety detection, and particularly relates to a non-target screening detection method for the migration amount of non-volatile substances in bamboo fiber plastic. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plastics are widely used in food contact materials due to their light weight, durability and cost-effectiveness. In order to reduce plastic white pollution and reduce dependence on petroleum, bamboo fiber, as a high-quality raw material in China, has the advantages of strong environmental protection, multiple functions, strong safety, etc., and has become a major alternative source of plastics in the field of food contact materials. In recent years, with the awakening of consumers' environmental awareness and the upgrading of health needs, the selection criteria for food contact materials and products have shifted from single functionality to a multi-dimensional value system. The "four-dimensional decision model" composed of aesthetic appearance, practicality, durability and price sensitivity is reshaping the industry's product development logic. Against this background, bamboo fiber and plastic composite materials, with their unique ecological advantages and performance balance, have become the focus of market innovation.

[0003] At present, bamboo fiber plastic products on the market mainly use bamboo powder as raw material, often mixed with corn starch, wheat fiber and other plant components, and also add melamine resin, polylactic acid resin or polypropylene resin and other plastic resin components. Its production and processing process involves high temperature, mixing, stamping, demolding and other processes. In addition, in order to promote the effective combination of bamboo fiber and plastic matrix, surfactants, compatibilizers and other additive ingredients may be added during processing. Due to the uncertainty of raw materials and input ingredients, combined with the complexity of the production process, the safety of bamboo fiber plastic products faces many unknown factors, and how to effectively protect the food safety of consumers has become a major problem to be solved.

[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the defect that the non-volatile substances in the composite material mixed with multiple component plant fibers and plastic components are not easy to detect is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field.

[0043] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0044] This disclosure provides a non-targeted screening method for detecting the migration of non-volatile substances in bamboo fiber plastics, including: preparing a food simulant, an internal standard stock solution A, and an internal standard working solution B; a migration test: rinsing the vessels involved in the migration test with an organic solvent, followed by the migration test to obtain an immersion solution; recording the volume V1 of the food simulant and the area S1 of the sample in contact with the food simulant during the migration test; recording the area S2 of the sample in actual use in contact with food and the volume or mass V2 of the sample in contact with food during actual use, based on the actual usage of the sample; pretreatment of the immersion solution; and a blank test: selecting a food simulant that has not been in contact with the sample. The aforementioned migration experiment was repeated, and the pretreatment of the soaking solution was repeated to obtain blank solution A.

[0066] In some embodiments, specifically, the data processing parsing includes: using a library database to perform a spectral library search on the primary high-resolution mass spectrum and the corresponding secondary high-resolution mass spectrum; if the spectral library matching degree is ≥70%, the material structure is confirmed by combining molecular structure and material information; if the spectral library matching degree is <70%, the primary and secondary high-resolution mass spectra of the unknown substance are found in OS Explorer, and then...

[0067] The Formula Finder function, combined with the precise mass number and isotope resolution of primary mass spectrometry, calculates possible molecular formulas and verifies them based on certain mass spectrometry fragmentation rules and the precise mass number of secondary mass spectrometry.

[0091] 3. Results and Discussion

[0092] If the peak area of ​​the extracted ion current chromatogram of the unknown substance in the total ion chromatogram of the sample simultaneously meets two conditions—more than 10 times the peak area of ​​the blank sample and more than 1 times the peak area of ​​the internal standard with similar structure—then further analysis is performed. A library search is conducted on the primary high-resolution mass spectrum and the corresponding secondary high-resolution mass spectrum using the Library database. If the matching degree is ≥70%, the substance structure is confirmed by combining molecular structure and material information. If the library matching degree is <70%, the primary and secondary high-resolution mass spectra of the unknown substance are found in OS Explorer. The possible molecular formula is calculated using the Formula Finder function, combined with the precise mass number and isotope fractionation of the primary mass spectrometer, and verified based on certain mass spectrometry fragmentation rules and the precise mass number of the secondary mass spectrometer. Combining material information, common additives, and upstream and downstream processes of the product, the possible structure of the compound is plotted and verified using the Fragment Pane function. If necessary, a standard solution is prepared using appropriate standard substances for qualitative confirmation, confirming the retention time and mass spectrum.

[0093] Limit of quantitation and precision: The limit of detection of this invention was determined by the signal-to-noise ratio method. Figures 1-4 The standard extractable ion chromatograms for DNOP-D4, 4-nitrophenol tetrabutylammonium, arachidic acid-D39, and 4-hydroxy-4'-bromobiphenyl are shown. It can be seen that the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of each internal standard at a concentration of 0.01 mg / L is ≥3, indicating that the detection limit of this method is 0.01 mg / kg when the S / V in the migration test is the same as that in actual conditions, and the method has high sensitivity.

[0094] This invention uses DNOP-D4, 4-nitrophenol tetrabutylammonium, arachidic acid-D39 and 4-hydroxy-4'-bromobiphenyl as internal standards. The internal standard stock solution A (1000 mg / L) was serially diluted with methanol to 0.01 mg / L. Six samples were prepared in parallel and their precision was calculated according to the above chromatographic and mass spectrometric conditions. The results are detailed in Table 2.

[0095] The standard deviations of the four internal standards ranged from 2.48% to 5.01%, meeting the requirements of GB / T 27417-2017, indicating that the method of the present invention has good repeatability.

[0102] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the screening scope of the present invention covers a wide range of additives such as antioxidants, lubricants, antistatic agents, and ultraviolet absorbers, with a wide coverage, a detection limit of 0.01 mg / kg, high sensitivity, and good stability.

[0103] Specifically, this invention provides a method for detecting three phenolic substances in food or food simulants. This method is simple to operate, efficient, specific, and precise. It is suitable for qualitative analysis and quantitative detection of the migration of the three phenolic substances in food contact materials and products. It provides a new method for food safety technical testing in my country and provides risk monitoring and early warning for food enterprises and food contact material manufacturers, which has certain practical significance.

[0104] In summary, this non-targeted screening method for detecting the migration of non-volatile substances in bamboo fiber plastics utilizes high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with quadrupole-time-of-flight high-resolution mass spectrometry (QTOF) to rapidly screen the migration amounts of non-volatile substances in bamboo fiber plastic products. The detection limit of this method is 0.01 mg / kg when the S / V in the migration test is consistent with the actual S / V. This screening method is simple to operate, highly stable, and reproducible, aiming to screen out as many potential risk substances as possible. It can comprehensively evaluate the migration amounts of non-volatile substances in bamboo fiber plastic products, ensuring the safety of bamboo fiber plastic products.
