Abstract
A specific and sensitive high-pressure liquid chromatographic method f or the determination of residual methacrylic monomer was developed in order to study the migration into food of methacrylic acid present in packaging materials. The optimal conditions for extraction of methacry lic acid from aqueous and oily media were investigated. Determination methods were validated. The HPLC method can be applied to the determin ation of the amount of constitutive monomers released in model situati ons and in packaged foods.
