Abstract

Automated headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HFLPME) methods for the determination of 15 active chemicals released from essential-oil-based active packaging have been considered. The HS-SPME procedure demonstrates good performance and was therefore optimised and validated, providing detection limits in the low microgram per kilogramme range and wide and convenient linear ranges from 40.0 to 900.0 µg/kg. Extraction temperature has been demonstrated to be the most critical experimental parameter requiring accurate monitoring.
