Numerical Simulation on Migration of Chemical Substances from HDPE into Foods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerical simulation of migration of chemical substances from HDPE into foods(simulants)is performed based on the finite element method(FEM). The results show that concentration of migrants in foods at equilibrium increases with the increase of its initial concentration in packaging. Diffusivity of migrants is key to migration dynamics. Partition coefficient represents ration of concentration in HDPE to that in foods at equilibrium. For multilayer packaging, functional barrier layer is able to efficiently delay migration. Thickness of barrier layers prominently influences barrier effect. The method can be utilized to predict migration of chemical substances having mixed boundary conditions, developed as a total solution food package for migration problems.

The Effect of Microwave on Migration of Styrene Monomer Polystyrene Food Packaging and Compared to other Thermal Processes
The migration of packaging material constituents into food is a product of the interaction between the food and packaging material. This phenomenon is of importance because some migrating substances may be toxicologically carcinogenic and endanger the consumer safety. Polystyrenes are used in many food-contact applications for the packaging of aqueous-based, fatty and dry foods. The correlation...

In this paper, a double-cyclone is used as a gas-solid separator in the fluid bed-drying process to prepare dry HDPE powder from a wet feed of 56000 kg/hr. The quality of dry HDPE depends mainly on particles behavior and flow pattern in the dryer which affect the double-cyclones as an effective equipment in this process. Controlling of the inlet carrier gas causes excellent flow pattern, desire...
