BISPHENOL A DETECTION IN PACKAGED DRINKING WATER AND BEVERAGES USING HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Background: Bisphenol A is characterized as an endocrine disruptor it interferes with the synthesis of hormones and metabolism resulting in abnormality homeostatis exposed persons. It used production polycarbonate epoxy resins which are utilized preparation almost all plastic packaging materials like bottles, cans, food containers, coating on containers. Objective: To detect leaching 15 samples Bottled water Beverages using High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Methods: Liquid-liquid extraction technique was for analytical detection BPA from bottled drinking beverages. Results: contamination calculated through mean concentration a time period 30 days (0.38 ng/ml - 0 day), 8.86 (5th 17.85 (10th 30.35 (20th day) 44.48 (30th day)). The observed to be 0.25 2.25 ng/ml. Also, at different temperatures 5.96 (at 40C), 5.62 200C) 8.80 550C). above results revealed presence high Conclusion: obtained study depicted considerable amount containers into Prolong usage beverages should avoided reduce risk human exposure leaching. found that resulted increased
