RECOMMENDED PRACTICEX1.1 Initially the total UV absorbing components present inthe polymer, adhesive, and paperboard should be determined.This may be accomplished by shredding two 8 by 10-in. (20 by25.4-cm), or equivalent, surface area
48、 susceptor sheets andplacing the shreds in a Soxhlet extractor. This shreddedsusceptor is then serially Soxhlet extracted with hexane,chloroform, and acetonitrile (or similar solvents that will notdissolve the polymer) for 3 h each. After each 3-h interval, thesolvent is gently evaporated until a fe

This extractshould contain those UV absorbing materials that will poten-tially migrate to the corn oil under microwave heating condi-tions. Identification of unknown UV peaks can be performedby HPLC-mass spectrometry (MS) or by collecting the un-known HPLC peak and trying gas chromatography-MS.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of an
