Abstract: | Computer programmes are available to predict, for consumer protection purposes, the migration of additives from a polymeric package during its contact with food. However most of these programs were developed to estimate migration only from single layer polymeric packaging under isothermal conditions. In this work a diffusion model was developed to simulate the migration from multilayer packaging and under non-isothermal temperature conditions, too. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used as a numerical approximation method to solve the diffusion equations describing such processes. The possibilities and limitations of the FEA method are presented and the correlation between experimental and computed results is discussed. |
