Qualitative Evaluation of Bottled Water Stored in Polyethylene Terephtalate Based on Organic Chemical Compounds
Polyethylene terephtalate (PET) is commonly used for bottling drinking water. PET must be harmless in the sense of the migration potentially unsafe materials into its content. The quality determination of migrated organic chemicals in 15 bottled water stored in PET was performed by gas chromatogra...

| description | Polyethylene terephtalate (PET) is commonly used for bottling drinking water. PET must be harmless in the sense
of the migration potentially unsafe materials into its content. The quality determination of migrated organic chemicals
in 15 bottled water stored in PET was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique. Most of the
organic chemical compounds including phthalate, alkyl phenol, higher alkene and organic acid were detected in the
samples. However, no carcinogens and hormones were recognized in the analyzed waters. The most migrated compounds
identified between 13 to 100% of bottled water. The findings of present study could be alarming for the food safety
legislative establishments in Iran due to the existence of some organic compounds with adverse influence on human
wellbeing. Further investigation is recommended to evaluate the risk assessment of the public health arising from the
presence of these toxic contaminants in the bottled water consumed by the people. |
