To achieve this aim a significant amount of experimental work is being conducted involving both migration kinetics as well as transport and partitioning studies using model migrants and real foodstuffs. The model migrants (18 altogether) were chosen to represent a broad spectrum of potential migrants found in food packaging, covering a wide range of molecular weights, chemical groups, polarities etc.en664688Selection of polymeric reference films and model migrants to study the physico-chemical parameters influencing mass transport of packaging constituents into and within foodstuffsposter
