Abstract
Currently, in Korea, a dry food simulant has not been designated for the migration testing of paper and board, food contact materials (FCMs) being used in dry foods, and foods heated at ultra-high temperature. Considering the diverse usage of FCMs, in order to secure reliable and confident safety evaluation and to overcome the non-trade barrier tariff in worldwide trade, migration testing methods of what should be more clearly defined for securing and overcoming. This article delves into the available literature on the use of $Tenax^{(R)}$ as a simulant for dry foods as well as its suitability and limitations, and examines the feasibility of its introduction into Korean FCMs regulation. Most experimental studies using $Tenax^{(R)}$ showed overestimated migration values when used in real foods, which reflects the potential of $Tenax^{(R)}$ as a dry food simulant in a worst-case scenario. However, more studies are required to optimize migration testing using $Tenax^{(R)}$ by standardizing the solvent type and the extraction method for surrogates of various FCMs and foods, and to resolve the potential drawbacks in the use of $Tenax^{(R)}$.
