<description>This paper presents the simultaneous determination of a UV stabilizer (benzophenone (BP)) together with four&#xd;
plasticizers (butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA)&#xd;
and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP)) in Tenax by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and PARAFAC, using&#xd;
DiBP-d4 as internal standard.&#xd;
Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 establishes Tenax as food simulant E for testing specific migration from plastics&#xd;
into dry foodstuffs. This simulant must be cleaned before its use to eliminate impurities. Tenax is expensive, so&#xd;
its reuse would save costs.&#xd;
A two-way ANOVA was used to study some parameters affecting the cleaning and the extraction of Tenax. The&#xd;
most adequate conditions were chosen taking the values of the coefficient of variation and the average recovery&#xd;
rates of spiked Tenax samples into account.&#xd;
A study to determine if some analytes remain in Tenax when it is reused and the effect that the cleaning&#xd;
procedure may have in the adsorption capability of Tenax was proposed. This study led to the conclusion that&#xd;
Tenax could not be reused in this multiresidue determination.&#xd;
All the analytes were unequivocally identified in all the stages of this work and trueness was verified at a 95%&#xd;
confidence level in all cases. A calibration based on PARAFAC provided the following values of capability of&#xd;
detection (CCβ): 2.28 μg L−1 for BHT, 10.57 μg L−1 for BP, 7.87 μg L−1 for DiBP, 3.04 μg L−1 for DEHA and&#xd;
124.8 μg L−1 for DiNP, with the probabilities of false positive and false negative fixed at 0.05.&#xd;
The migration of the analytes from a printed paper sample into Tenax was also studied. The presence of BHT&#xd;
in the food simulant was confirmed and the amount released of this analyte from the paper was 2.56 μg L−1.</description>
