Plasticizers with estrogenic activity, such as bisphenol A (BPA), have potential adverse health effects in humans. Due to mounting evidence of these health effects, BPA is being phased out and replaced by other bisphenol variants in "BPA-free" products. We have compared estrogenic activity of BPA with 6 bisphenol analogues [bisphenol S (BPS); bisphenol F (BPF); bisphenol AP (BPAP); bisphenol AF...

A group of compounds structurally similar to bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (bisphenol A, BPA) are called bisphenols (BPs), and some of them can partially replace BPA in industrial applications. The production and consumption of BPs other than BPA, especially those of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane (bisphenol F, BPF) and bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfone (bisphenol S, BPS), have increased recently, leading...

KEYWORD: bisphenol A; immune-affinity column; high-performance liquid chromatography ABSTRACT: A rapid and sensitive method using immuno-affinity columns (IACs) as sample purification procedure and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) tandem fluorescence detector (FLD) for detection has been developed for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) in beer. The limit of detection (LOD) is 0...
