Özet
<p>Plastic packaging materials(PPMs) are emerging as the primary material used in food</p><p>packaging due to their functional properties, convenience, and low costs. However, PPMs</p><p>have a risk known as migration due to the diffusion of low molecular weight substances such</p><p>as monomers and oligomers. These substances may include lubricants, plasticizers,</p><p>stabilizers, UV absorbers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, colorants, optical brighteners, etc.</p><p>These materials are referred to as intentionally added substances. However, the migration risk</p><p>of PPMs may also include an impurity in the substances used, a reaction intermediate formed</p><p>during the production process, or a decomposition or reaction product, which are known as</p><p>non-intentionally added substances (NIAS). Many studies have confirmed that identifying</p><p>NIAS is a challenging process. One of the main challenges is the complex structure of the</p><p>material and the need for advanced analytical methods to identify NIAS. The difficulties</p><p>encountered in determining NIAS have also led to various challenges in classifying NIAS. It</p><p>has been observed that NIAS originates from degradation processes, by-products, impurities,</p><p>and oligomers. For the risk assessment of NIAS, the most commonly used risk assessment</p><p>tool is the threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) concept. Specific regulations are required</p><p>for the identification and prevention of NIAS, and based on this information, the effects of</p><p>plastic packaging use on human health worldwide should be reviewed. This review aims to</p><p>identify potential sources of NIAS, classify NIAS, present the NIAS migration results</p><p>especially in last years.</p>
