摘要
The influence of storage time and temperature on Sb migration from PET bottles into mineral water was studied in short-term tests lasting up to 15 days and long-term studies lasting up to 220 days. Samples purchased were stored in three different coloured bottles: clear (CL), light blue (LB) and dark blue (DB). Sb migration was assayed by HG-AFS for total determination and HPLC-ICP-MS for speciation analysis. Migration studies showed that waters stored at 4 and 20 degrees C were not subject to Sb migration. At 40 degrees C there was a significant increase in Sb concentration, although the maximum limit established by the European Union (5.0 mu g L-1) was not exceeded, whereas at 60 degrees C samples were subject to considerable Sb migration after 30 days of storage. In this case, the maximum limit established by the European Union was exceeded and both Sb (V) and Sb (III) were detected. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
