The invention discloses a method for determining the migration quantity of volatile organic compounds in an
adhesive sticker for a food
label in a water-based food simulating object. The method comprises the following steps: performing a direct or indirect migration test on the
adhesive sticker for the food
label through a water-based food simulating solution; sampling the water-based food simulating solution through purging and
trapping; separating 10 volatile organic compounds through HP-5ms or chromatographic columns with similar properties; performing detection through a
mass spectrometry
detector; performing quantification through an external standard method, wherein the 10 volatile organic compounds include
nonene, 2-ethylhexanol, 1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene,
camphor, 1-dodecene,
naphthalene, 2-ethylhexyl
acrylate, 1-methylnaphthalene, 1-undecanol and dodecyl
aldehyde. The method is accurate in test, easy to operate, high in efficiency, quick, high in sensitivity and high in practicality, is applicable to qualitative and
quantitative determination on the volatile organic compounds in the
adhesive sticker for the food
label through a manufacturing enterprise of the adhesive sticker for the food label and relevant government supervision departments, and can be used for avoiding harm to the
physical health of a
consumer caused by over-large migration quantity of the volatile organic compounds.
