TI  - Analysis of migrants from nylon 6 packaging films into boiling water.
PG  - 541-53
AB  - Ultra-violet spectrophotometry (UV), high performance liquid chromatography 
      (HPLC) and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) were used 
      to identify and quantify oligomers extracted with boiling water from two 
      different nylon 6 films used in boil-in-bag food packaging. The results indicated 
      the loss of up to 1.5% of the original nylon film weight, into the boiling water, 
      as caprolactam and cyclic oligomers up to the nonamer. Extraction time, thickness 
      and type of film used, were found to be parameters which affected the levels of 
      these migrants. These results will be relevant to situations in which food is 
      cooked in the water used to heat the pouch contents.
