Determination of Lubricants in Extraction Liquids

Comparison of the amounts that had migrated from the test films into HB 307after 30 days at 20 °C and after 10 days at 40 °C (Table 10.1) indicates that the migration of additives from plastics packs into fatty foods stored at about 20 °C can be simulated satisfactorily in tests with HB 307 for 10 days at 40 °C.
