This document provides information on simulants to be used for verifying migration of constituents from materials and objects into food products. It lists various food products and groups them, and indicates which simulant(s) should be used for migration testing with each food. Simulants include water, acetic acid solution, ethanol solution and olive oil or alternatives. It provides characteristics and specifications for the olive oil and alternative triglyceride mixtures to be used as simulants.

ANNEX III - SIMULANTS TO BE USED FOR THE VERIFICATION OF THE


MIGRATION OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF MATERIALS AND OBJECTS

1. In the following table, which contains an exemplary list of food products, the
simulants to be used in the migration tests in correspondence with the food
product or food product group are indicated with the following abbreviations:
simulant A:
distilled water or water of equivalent quality;
simulant B:
3% (w / v) acetic acid in aqueous solution;
simulant C:
15% (v / v) ethanol in aqueous solution;
simulant D:
rectified olive oil; if for technical reasons connected with the method of analysis it is necessary to use
other simulants, the olive oil must be replaced by a mixture of synthetic triglycerides or sunflower oil.

Characteristics of rectified olive oil


Iodine number (Wijs) = 80-88
Refractive index at 25 ° C = 1.4665-1.4679
Acidity (expressed in% oleic acid) = 0.5% max

2. for each food product or for each group of food products only the simulant or simulants
indicated with the sign X are used, using for each simulant a new sample of the materials and
articles in question. The absence of the X sign indicates that no proof of migration is required
for that item or sub-item.
3. When the sign "X" is followed by a slash and a number, divide the result of the
migration tests by that number. In the case of some types of fatty foods, this
conventional number, known as the 'reduction coefficient for simulant D (DRF)', is used
to take into account the simulant's higher extracting power than the food.
4. When the letter a appears in brackets next to the X sign, use only one of the two
simulants indicated:
- if the pH of the food product is higher than 4.5, use simulant A,
- if the pH of the food product is less than or equal to 4.5, use simulant B.
4 bis. If the letter "b" appears in brackets after the "X" sign, the test must be carried out with 50% (v / v)
ethanol
5. If the food is indicated in the list with both a specific entry and a general entry,
use only the simulant (s) foreseen under the specific entry.
